Skullcandy - Set USB-C In-Ear Wired - True Black

My wife was absolutely convinced that she could no longer plug headphones into her Samsung Note 20 now that the 3.5 mm input has been removed. Until she literally watched me insert the plug of these headphones into her USB-C port, she just did not get it. But, now she’s extremely grateful to have wired earbuds that she can store in her bag - ready to go at a moment's notice. Skullcandy has done a great job not just making Earbuds that work with USB-C devices, but in actually taking time to design earbuds that fit securely, sound good, and remain affordable. I have small ear canals and most earbuds simply will not stay put. I can be sitting motionless at my desk and all of the sudden my earbuds will pop out - which is wildly annoying. Until this set, I have been forced to use sport style earbuds with crazy rubber fins or bone conduction headphones which seriously lack audio performance/quality. I am so thrilled with the fit of these that I may have raided my wife’s purse (like a bored kid in church searching for candy. ...Eh, Certs will do.) The snug fit does a great job at passive noise cancelation. ...So good that they need to be removed in order to have a conversation - even when the volume is at lower levels. The audio quality is fairly average for earbuds, but they do produce reasonable sound for all types of music as well as podcasts. Surprisingly, the bass is rather light - which is normal due to the small size of earbuds, but rare for Skullcandy (which tends to have a bass heavy profile). They are comfortable and light with the corded mic/remote (on the left side) not causing any issues with comfort or fit. My only major complaint is that the remote is not able to start the current track over, or move to the previous track. They are designed to move back to the previous track with 3 clicks, but I have never been able to make this function work. One click pauses/plays, two clicks moves to the next track, and no matter how fast or slow I press - 3 clicks moves to the next track and then pauses. If I want to move to the previous track I have to use my phone’s voice assistant. The only other negative is that they do not come with any attachment to ensure they stay in place during workouts. If they would have simply included a rubber fin, these could be used more reliably during running, biking, or lifting weights. I typically use bluetooth earbuds for those activities, but these truly could have been the only earbuds I needed if only Skullcandy had included the rubber fins (as they do with other models). Overall I am extremely happy with these earbuds - mostly because they simply fit so well in my ears. I do recommend them to anyone wanting a standard set of wired earbuds that handle most basic functions/tasks with ease.

Summary: A good set of headphones if you have a need for wired and have a USB-C capable device. Setup / unboxing: The package comes with the headphones, three sizes of ear buds, a small manual and warranty documentation. Being USB-C, they are plug and play. I tried them in my S21 Ultra, iPad Air and Asus Laptop, all worked first try with no setup. Pros: They can be used with any device with a USB-C connection. Sound quality is decent with good bass and clean sound. I did not find it amazing good for general listening in most environments. Sound isolation was good for me and there was a good seal with the included tips. The cord has enough slack to not worry about it getting snagged in use. Cons: The tips took a little work before they would stay in my ear comfortably; once they were set they did not fall out and were comfortable. There is no included carrying case. The ear tips sizes might be all too big for smaller ears. My job keeps me offline for days at a time so these will be good when I do not want to mess with wireless ear buds or charging devices. Their wide compatibility makes them very useful.

I'm loving these wired earbuds, finally wired earbuds via USB type C for phones that don't have an earphone plug anymore! The sound quality is amazing, much better than any wireless headphones, I mean, wireless and bluetooth are great, however it will never have the quality of wired ones. Setup was easy, just plug and play, it has a small button by the mic area (yes it has a mic for calls) where you can control music, answer calls and summon your favorite phone assistant. I currently have them with my Galaxy note 20 ultra and finally I can use dolby atmos! With my wireless earbuds, it was greyed out, but with these, I enabled it and the sound is amazing in games and movies! They are very comfy and come with several size plugs for different sized ear canals. The only con is I could not for the love of me see the classic "L' and "R" most earbuds have so you can identify which one is which. I must be blind if these have those indicators but I could not see them, I don't think these have them, but I was able to figure it out. The one plug with the control button is the left one, so just FYI. I highly recommend these to anyone wanting the quality of wired audio and if their phones don't have an earphone plug anymore!

My wife is a firefighter and works out veraciously every day. She loves these because not only do the sound good, but they are also rugged and sweat resistant. We have used some headsets in the past that when you get sweaty, they more easily fall out. These do not... They are comfortable, easy to operate controls and sound quite good. In all, I would certainly recommend them to a friend.

I received the Skullcandy Earbuds and at first glance I really liked the design and color! After plugging them in to my iPhone I was Wowed .. Wasn't sure about it at first but once I worked out and went for a walk with my dog with them a few times I got the hang of them. Most Earbuds are so uncomfortable but these truly are not! They come with 2 sets of ear inserts to fit most ears, I ended up using one size for my right side and the other size for my left ear, lol... I would recommend these for people that want a true sport Earbud. While working out the Earbuds stay in place and don't fall out, this is a great function as they are great for movement. When working out my forehead tends to sweat quite a bit and I was fearing that this would some how make the Earbud slippery and fall off but the Silicone insert stayed in place and did not come off even if it got a bit of moisture, due to the design and the fit moisture is not an issue. Great feature and are becoming my go to while I'm either jogging, walking the dog or working out!!

You can't go wrong with Skullcandy Sport Earbuds. The sound quality is amazing whether you're listening to music or using the microphone on a phone call. They are comfortable to wear for hours. I like to take long walks and am happy they are sweat resistant so I can use them all the time. The USB-C connector makes it easy to connect to my cell phone or tablet. They come with several size options to pick the most comfortable fit. You are also able to pause music or take phone calls with the handy button and the cord is the perfect size to put your phone in pocket. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.  

I’m old school and prefer wire headset over Bluetooth. These headphones are amazing, the design, the sound quality and over all fell of the headphones. I think Skullcandy did an amazing job by implementing a slight curve to the headphones where it snugs in very well and doesn’t fall off. The sound quality of the headphones is up par as well. The only thing that I dislike is the wire being too short. Its plug in play with and no issues while using it with my Pixel 2 XL. Mainly I have been using the head phones for YouTube, to listen to music or watch Videos. I have also used it to make and receive call and micro phone work pretty well. I haven't had any one complain about the mic echoing as they did with my previous head set. The headphones are light weight and don't feel off wearing them for too long. I think they can do better with the head phone covers as they feel low quality compared to others. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

I received a pair of skullcandy headphones at a discounted price in return for my honestopinion. . Upon first opening and using my Skullcandy usb-c connection headphones, I recognized the great sound quality they put forth. After trying these headphones for a little while I attempted to make a phone call while wearing them. I was able to make a call by pushing the button on the talk piece. I was able to answer a call and hang up a call how ever I was never able to hear any calls, nor was the person on the other end able to hear me. I tried these headphones on 3 different phones and not once was I able to hear a call in them. I tried to troubleshoot and research as much as possible with no luck. I reached out to customer service and they told me the headphones are covered under warranty for a replacement, all I need to do is send them back and wait for my replacement. They sent me an email with instructions to send them in (at my own expense, not happy about that) I received my replacement about a week later. I have been using these every day since. I use them for everything. When I am cleaning around the house and the baby is sleeping, I can jam out to my favorite tunes and not have to worry about waking her up. I can take a phone call with just a push of a button, and the built in microphone is very clear when picking up sound.. These headphones keep all outside noise out and all I can hear is what is coming out of my headphones. The only downside to this great sound quality is that I cannot hear the baby cry when she wakes up from her nap. I like the design of the earbud, it fits comfortably in my ear and does not fall out or get uncomfortable after long use. Overall good product.
