Skullcandy's Incredibly Cheap Wire-Free Earbuds Sound

Before coinciding with the news that the iPhone 12 line will no longer ship with headphones, Apple's new $ 50 Beats Flex is the company's cheapest wireless earbuds - but they aren't completely wireless, and they aren't so cheap.

Skullcandy's new Jib True Wireless earbuds truly make Beats easily the best with a wireless wireless design, a $ 30 price tag and sound quality that complements their affordability.

Since Apple's AirPods debuted back in late 2016, other companies have had suits with countless options, but despite stiff competition in a still growing market, wireless earbuds remain an expensive accessory.

With Beats Flex, Apple made its wireless earbuds available to a larger consumer base, and debuted what would undoubtedly be a fierce price fight in the coming months. Skullcandy beats Apple first on price and design (of course), but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Apple's AirPods or to take offers from Jabra or Sony, be prepared to make some compromises.

Let's take the $ 1 million question this way: No, Skullcandy's Jib True Wireless earbuds don't look as good as Apple's $ 160 AirPods, $ 250 AirPods Pro, Jabra's $ 180 Elite Elite, or Sennheiser's $ 300 Momentum Wireless Earbuds Huh. But, they don't even think about how I thought $ 30 wireless earbuds.

The audio is surprisingly decent — not mind-blowing, but much better than the emergency wired earbuds you buy at the airport when you lose the pair you were traveling with. Their sound profile may use slightly more balance. Compared to AirPods, the bass performance seems to be slightly higher, at a higher cost that sounds like they are slightly dialed back.

The best way I can describe it is that AirPods sound more crisp and balanced and provide a slightly higher frequency range than the Jib True do, and unfortunately there is no mobile app that lets you change the sound profile of the Jib True Allows to change, or rotate anyone graphical equalizer. But at the same time, the sound performance for $ 30 is completely passable, and that's what is coming back with these wireless earbuds.

Jib True's charging case looks like it is made of a cheap plastic and it is nothing like the polished white case AirPods call home. But the lid opens and closes with a satisfactory clunk, and wireless earbuds are mounted with magnets to ensure that they are always touching the electrical contacts while making contact inside.

Charging the case is done via a microUSB port - there is no wireless charging here - but Skalskandy promises six hours of music playback on a full charge, topping it up repeatedly using the case Can be extended up to 22 hours. Just three hours shy of battery life, Apple promises with its 160 AirPods.

The Jib True Wireless earbuds charging case is not as compact as AirPods or AirPods Pro cases, but it is still one of the smaller charging cases I use, and is very easy to hold in a pocket. It's not going to win anyone over with its sleek design, but functionally not really much to complain about.

Also Driving Home explains the fact that these are $ 30 wireless earbuds and that Skalkandi has done as many failures as possible to hit that price point, one with a printed plastic guide with buds in the packaging.

There is a small plastic bag, a small microUSB charging cable, and two additional pairs of silicone ear tips floating loosely inside.

This gives you a total of three sizes to choose from, which is not enough to accommodate as many users as you can try and every ear shape from there. You probably find one that fits well, but do yourself (and your ears) a favor and upgrade them with a pair of memory foam tips instead.

One rule of buying cheap electronics is that you're going to end up with something chunkier than the pricier options, but Skullcandy's Jib True Wireless earbuds are definitely some of the smaller earbuds I've tested.

The reason for this is that they are so small that unlike the offerings of Apple, Sony and Jabra, they have no noise-canceling technology, but this is far from a dealbreaker, as earbud-style headphones are already effective Blocking a lot of noise by the nature of their in-ear design.

But advancing the stem design that Apple (and others) use to make use of batteries and wireless antennae, the Jib Tru leaves wireless earbuds with a shape that pops out of your ear, but I'm sure Appears worse than. They may not feel so light that they are going to fall on you using a properly sized silicone tip to hold them securely in your ear, but I would not wear them for running or more physical activities.
