Features

Audio Quality

The Dime earbuds deliver Skullcandy's Supreme Sound, offering a full and rich listening experience with notable bass. They feature 6mm dynamic drivers and a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz. While providing good sound for their price point, they are considered entry-level and may not offer audiophile-grade sound separation.

Comfort and Fit

Designed for a secure and comfortable fit, the Dime earbuds come with three sizes of ear gels (S, M, L) to ensure optimal sealing and sound isolation. The rounded tips contribute to a snug fit, suitable for various activities.

The earbuds provide 3.5 hours of listening time on a single charge. The compact charging case offers an additional 2 full charges, extending the total battery life to 12 hours. The charging case itself weighs 1.13 ounces.

Sweat and Water Resistance

The Dime earbuds are sweat- and water-resistant with an IPX4 rating. This means they can withstand splashes of water and sweat, making them suitable for workouts and outdoor activities. However, they are not designed to be submerged in water.

Tile Integration

The Skullcandy Dime earbuds are compatible with the Tile app, allowing you to track their location if misplaced. The app can provide an approximate location or the last known location, and can also make the earbuds chime to help you find them.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the earbuds and charging case with a soft, dry cloth. Remove ear gels and clean them separately with mild soap and water if necessary, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Storage: Store the earbuds in their charging case when not in use to protect them and keep them charged.
• Water Exposure: While water-resistant, avoid submerging the earbuds. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly before placing them back in the charging case.
