The Skullcandy Dime True are the new True Wireless headphones that combine good sound with a more than affordable price for its quality. Meet them in this note.
Deciding which headphones to buy is something that costs a little more each time due to the wide variety on the market. If we talk about wireless headphones, often the price is proportional to the sound quality, although this is not always the case. The new wireless earbuds Skullcandy Tell Me True arrive on the market with reasonable price and quality to match.
Speaking of the functional section, these skullcandy, By design, they fulfill the function of noise insulators, but it must be clarified that they do not cancel it completely, they do not have a “Noise Canceling” system. The strong point of these headphones comes at the time of the bass, giving a great low-frequency response quality. This does not mean that only the bass stands out, since the highs complement each other more than acceptable so that neither sound covers the other or distorts.
As far as the microphone of Skullcandy Tell Me Truealthough it is not his strong point, the balance is mostly positive, since I don’t know the voices distort as could happen with other cordless in its price range. What must be taken into account is that although they are used for calls, their design is designed for music and not so much for use in zoom or similar.
The Skullcandy Dime True last up to 3.5 hoursalthough it expands if we take into account its case. The charger has up to 8.5 hours of capacitythat is to say that when that battery runs out completely, we will have used the headphones for 12 hours. In our case, it lasted a little less than that, but that could be due to several factors that we do not want to deny the brand with its official approach.
In the photo above we see everything that comes in the box, and yes, it is clearly remarkable that the cable is too short and uncomfortable, in our case we resort to another Micro USB cable to charge it (it does not have usb-C).
In terms of handling, the SkullCandy Dime have buttons on each hearing aid Although they are easy to use, you may not get used to it and take out your cell phone to change the song. Likewise in this way with only two buttons you can answer calls, raise and lower the volume, change songs, activate the voice assistant and turn the headphones on and off… if you end up using it. All this varies between 1,2 or 3 touches on the buttons of each hearing aid, each one generates something different. It will have to be memorized.
What is important is that they are IPX4 certified, which means that they are water resistant. Not to go swimming, but to splashes, sweat and eventual accidents with water.
A point to highlight is the design of its cargo and transport box. Similar in size to the Airpods Pro, and a little larger than the Galaxy Buds or the original Airpods, it is made of unpolished plastic, which for some can be showy and for others, without the typical “glossy” it can seem a bit cheaper. Taste thing.
They also stand out for not completely covering each earphone, but rather the outer part of the pair remains on the outside, mating with two holes in the case to provide a perfect seal. It even comes included, in addition to “rubbers” of three sizes, a nice strap to carry them or hook them where we want.
Something that you may have noticed in this review is that we compare them with much more expensive equipment, such as those from Apple or Samsung. Yes, obviously you are not going to find the same sound as in top-of-the-range equipment with Noise Cancelling, but in this case, for their price they are a very good option that is not afraid to compete with Xiaomi, or surpass the Redmi in sound that both are sold in Mercadolibre. The Skullcandy Dime True Wireless they cost $6999. And they come in color black, red, green, blue and grayif you want to know more about these you can see the official page of Skullcandy Argentina.
