Skullcandy S2IKW-J569 Ink'd Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds with Microphone - royal blue

Edit: I recently got AirPods 3rd gen and Beats Flex. although AirPods are a slightly clearer, these are comfortable and I don’t feel like they will fall out and the sound quality is negligible. Beats flex are noticeably worse! Purchase these for near exact AirPods quality sound for 1/10th of the price I bought these as I wanted something with good sound quality, big enough I wouldn’t lose them, but small enough it’s easily packed. I think they were perfect for travelling. Sound quality is decent for the price. I’ve bought knock off airpods before and the sound was tinny but these are better than my ink’d wired. They don’t look the best aesthetically they remind me of glasses on a string that your Nan wears BUT doesn’t bother me. Battery life is very good too I used them on a 3 hour flight and still had enough for the hour taxi and still had some battery left. Probably 4-6 hours listening time on average. I Use them on my bicycle too and they’re good and never fall out

This is an initial review. I hope to update once I have been using them for a few weeks. Right now though, all I wanted to say was that I've been blown away by the sound these headphones kick out. Especially the bass. I've only played three songs via my Tomtom Spark Music sports watch, but it played them without a hitch and sounded great. UPDATE March 2017 Five months on and I'm still enjoying these headphones. They haven't had an easy life. I use them almost exclusively while out running and in tandem with my Tomtom Spark sports watch. Running 5 or 6 times a week over a period of 5 months has been a good test for them and they've come through it with flying colours. Prior to these I'd had three other pairs of bluetooth headphones, one I lost but the other two just failed. I've had no such problem with the Skullcandys. The neckband design probably isn't ideal for running as it bounces too much and becomes irritating. I got around this by tucking one end of the band into my shirt and that stopped the bouncing. I've had no issues with the buds falling out. Making sure you have the biggest buds your ears can accommodate no doubt helps with this. It also helps with the sound, particularly the bass, where a snug fit it essential. And this is where these phones have impressed me most. The bass is exceptional. Powerful without being overpowering. Moreover there is a balance across the frequencies which is a pleasure to experience and which blew me away when I the set first arrived. Nothing I had had prior to these had sounded so good. Sonically there is much to like here and they easily compete with headphones costing a lot more. Finally I noticed a couple of people complaining that they had issues with the sound occasionally cutting out due to bluetooth connection issues. Up to this point all my experience had been running with a wrist worn bluetooth watch. I decided that before updating this review I needed to check out the problem so I donned my coat, put my watch in my pocket and went for a walk. I've only done this once, but I can tell you that there was no problem. In fact during this whole five month period I have only very rarely suffered any connection issues and they usually resolved themselves very quickly. All in all I have been very impressed with these headphones. I'm just about to go out on another run with them now. UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2017 Final update. The first set finally gave up the ghost after being with me on many many runs. Skullcandy were kind enough to give me a replacement set, but that only lasted a month before it too stopped charging. I was going to mark them down for this until I found that the Ink'ds are guaranteed to be sweat proof and I couldn't rule out that this was causing the problem. In the light of this my rating stays at 5 and I've bought myself some Methods instead. They are designed more for sport but to be honest they don't sound as good.

Decent pair of bluetooth earphones. First thing you'll notice is they're extremely light. I even forget I've got them on at times. The weight is evenly distributed on the base and the thin cables mean you hardly feel them, even on a light jog. I've not tried running with them but they've been ok for gym workouts. The sound is crisp as you would expect from skullcandy but they do lack a bit of that usual bass. The SB2s have more bass but the overall feel and comfort of the Ink'd edges it. I tend to use Spotify most the time and increasing the bass on the equaliser seems to do the trick. Also means I can watch a movies and shows without the extra bass which I don't always enjoy. A nice little feature I thought pointless at the time has turned out to be the best part of the earphones. The volume on the earphones is separate to the bluetooth volume. With this you can set the bluetooth volume on max and don't have to go as high on the earphones and I've found this extends the battery. Best earphones for the price. Decent sound and very discrete. Can't even see or feel the base and the actual earphones are short enough to hang down your neck all day and not get them caught on things. And the noise cancellation feature works like charm. Only has point I would say is if you plan on making calls on this, be prepared to repeat yourself a few times.

Good set of ear buds, They connect with ease and the blue tooth range isn't to bad either, I can wonder around my house doing house work wearing these whiteout them cutting out. Sounds quality is good nice and clear and the charge seems to last well so for the price of £20 I'd say they are definitely worth buying and would purchase again.

Excellent Bluetooth connection. Not all headphones are this easy to connect. And they stay connected. I like the fact you can wear them around your neck and forget they are there. I used them a lot when traveling when I need to take the buds out to hear flight announcements ....that was in those far-gone days when we could go to airports and train stations. The sound quality is decent for the price and they are comfortable. One of the best earphones around this price.

I am quite happy with my skull candy inked wireless headphones. They were easy to pair to my phone and Tablet, both Apple products.they deliver nice clear sound at whatever volume . When driving my truck at work, I’ll leave the volume on low for the music and I can hear people calling on the walkie talkie over the music. However if I want to drown it all out I can crank the volume up and nearly cut out all outside noise. The battery lasts a good 7 or 8 hours or a full day of snowboarding ...

Je m’en sers partout: à la maison, dans la rue, pour faire du sport... ils sont tellement légers en confortables qu’on les oublie. Mais avec la garantie qu’on ne les perdra pas, puisque le « collier » reste bien en place. Un super produit pour un prix très raisonnable.

Ero scettico quando nella descrizione era riportato 8 ore di durata in musica. Ma mi sono dovuto ricredere, dopo la prima ricarica è durata 5 ore in musica continua il primo giorno altre 2 ore circa il secondo e ancora il terzo giorno. Ho dovuto effettuare la ricarica solo dopo 4 giorni Assolutamente un ottimo acquisto, considerando che in genere la durata in musica continua arriva a circa 5 ore in casi particolari. La ricarica dura circa due ore o due ore e mezza in luce fissa rossa, ad avvenuta ricarica la luce cambia nel colore blu ( ricarica che si effettua sul lato destro ). Ritengo molto soddisfacenti i bassi per degli auricolari per un prezzo di questa fascia. Ottima anche la resa acustica nelle chiamate al cellulare. Il supporto poi evita le caduta degli auricolari in caso di fuoriuscita dalle orecchie. Comandi comodi sulla sinistra per aumentare e diminuire il volume e selezionare tracce musicali in avanti o indietro. Talmente soddisfatto che ne ho acquistate due. E forse anche un altro paio per un amico.

I was surprised by how good the sound quality of these headphones is. Of course, it can't compete with high-end ones that cost ten times as much, but this is to be expected. I tried other headphones with a similar price before, and they were horrible: sound was super tinny and would get distorted anytime you'd move your head. This product has none of those problems. The sound is nice and you can safely move around without weird distortions or disruptions. I read in other reviews that the bluetooth range was bad and would get disrupted when you'd cover the phone with your hands or put your phone in your backpack. I've not experienced this at all. I can easily walk around my living room with my phone laying on the table somewhere, without losing connecting. I also use it with my phone in my backpack regularly without any problems. I like the user-interface. The buttons have a Plus and Minus sign on them that you can feel without looking, so it's very easy to change the volume (short click) or change the song (long click). Middle button (with the Skullcandy logo - not my favorite, but you can't have everything) can also be found without looking very easily. Short clicking this will pause the music, long clicking will turn off the device. If you're looking for budget wireless headphones: look no further!

The earphones sound really good. The Bluetooth connectivity is extremely good and seamless. The buttons on earphones are big and hence easy to operate. The noise isolation skullcandy claim is quite up to the mark. The only flaw whatsoever I have noticed is with build quality. Earphones feel little bit cheap for their price tag. There could have been good quality wires and wire cap. But barring that earphones deliver top notch performance where it really matters the most.
