Skullcandy Dime True Wireless Earbuds review: Mini but not mighty enough
Skullcandy recently
launched its Dime True Wireless Earbuds in India with a lightweight form
factor, impressive battery life, among other features.
Priced at Rs 2,249, the TWS earbuds have a short stem-like design
and they can be used independently as any other TWS earphones. Skullcandy Dime True
Wireless Earbuds sport physical controls on each earbud.
The earbuds are available in three colours --Dark Blue/Green,
Light Grey/Blue, and True Black. There are physical buttons on each earbud
through which you can control volume, skip songs, and take calls. The buttons
aren’t really easy to press so you will have to settle with that. The earbuds
also feature an IPX4 rating for protection from sweat and water.
The earpieces have a
proper in-canal fit--I found the fit secure and the noise isolation decent. The
tiny earbuds are comfortable for long-duration usage. I was able to wear them
for about 40-50 minutes.
Controls on the Skullcandy Dime would be tough for many; it gets really
uncomfortable to press the stiff physical buttons while using the earphones.
It’s better you rely on your phone to skip a song or change volume.
Talking about
performance, the Skullcandy Dime offers decent sound quality for everyday use,
thanks to its 6mm drivers which have a frequency response range of 20Hz to
20,000Hz.
It covers the basics but
don’t expect too much from these tiny earbuds. The sound clarity is impressive
but the bass might let you down at times. Due to the fit, the noise isolation
is decent and it also cuts the unwanted eternal noise.
For the price, the
earbuds do a fine job, although some may want more Skullcandy Dime.
However, the earbuds are
not at all good for voice calls. I had a tough time taking calls using these
earbuds so ultimately I had to either use my phone or use a better set of
earbuds.
