Skullcandy Indy True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds - Black

I purchased these primarily to use for phone calls at work and to listen to music and podcasts when I'm mowing my yard. These are the second pair of wireless bluetooth ear buds that I've tried, and I've been highly pleased. The other pair, off-brand, did not have a good mic, and many people said it was difficult to hear me. With these, I've consistently received positive feedback that everyone could hear me well. I've seen some feedback that the pairing process was difficult. I struggled a little at first too, and the instructions that come with the product are lacking. However, their website has very clear instructions, and after pairing them the first time, I've had no issues since. Now, they automatically pair with my phone as soon as I take them out of the charging case, and I've never had an issue with the individual buds getting out of sync with each other. The fit has been great as well. I went with the standard rubber ear pieces that were on them when they arrived, and they come with a couple other size options as well. They also come with a "removable stability ear gel," but I removed them. I found that they were less secure in my ear with those on. With them off, they have been very secure and have not ever fallen out unexpectedly. They're also very comfortable and do not hurt my ears after extended use. I have listened to music with them, and it sounds find to me. However, I don't have any experience evaluating sound quality and won't pretend to tell you how I think they perform on treble, bass, etc.. Functionally, they work, and that's enough for me.

I initially intended to use the Skullcandy Indy earbuds as a backup to my OG Apple AirPods, but they quickly became my go-to pair for just about every activity. I figured an $80 pair of earbuds could be the sacrifice play for travel, working out, or mountain biking; better to ruin or lose those than the pricier AirPods. That reasoning aside, the Skullcandy earbuds have proven strong contenders and stayed put throughout biking, running, jumping, burpees, and everything else I put them through. They remained unaffected by sweat or rain - a big plus for a set of workout earbuds. As for sound quality, they're solid performers. Now, if you're a self-proclaimed audiophile and sound critic - these will not impress you. But seriously, if you're expecting impressive, premium quality audio from a pair of $80 earbuds, you're a clown. If you're looking for that optimized frequency response experience, please feel free to throw on a Sennheiser or Bose over-ear headset and knock out your run or Workout of the Day (WOD). For the rest of us, these things kick out pretty decent sound quality - or at least acceptable quality for anyone who's running, working out, or performing other strenuous activities. Not to discount the experiences of other reviewers - I had no issues with pairing or battery life (4+ hours). The left and right earbuds remained linked to each other without fail and paired easily with both my phone and laptop. I used each earbud independently to make and receive phone calls with very good sound quality on both ends.

am a bit of a frugal guy and so I have been dancing around getting a good pair of wireless earbuds for the right (low-mid-ish) price. I tried a few before seeing these at a more than reasonable price of $45 bucks. I was pumped and when I got them in my ears and fired up some music, needless to say I was impressed and glad I had lucked into this purchase. Until the right earbud kept dropping connection/sound. I can't tell you how disappointed I am after experiencing what I would say is really good sound quality, a solid product build, incredible fit/comfort and generally responsive and intuitive control performance. And despite seeing this complaint popping up in a few reviews, I guess I thought I would be one of the lucky ones. I will say that it is incredibly reliable when I'm inside either in my office or at my home, no issues whatsoever. But I do a majority of my listening while biking or out on a walk-about or in the grocery store. So to have the audio cut out CONSISTENTLY with my phone no more than 3 feet away in my pocket is incredibly frustrating. It is most noticeable when I am outside on the street at work, and I think it might have something to do with the environment that I am in, a downtown metropolitan area. Perhaps it's something with the environment/buildings/signal interference, which would suck greatly since I ordered a replacement. Hopefully it's just a faulty pair, I will be updating my review upon further analysis of the replacement pair. Until then, at least one works I guess.. UPDATE: So I have tried a second pair and the problems outlined above plague this set also. I have subsequently purchased a pair of SoundPEATS for about $38.00 and have had significantly less issues with what might be considered an inferior brand. I have experienced two instances of signal interruption, one was literally a split second interruption, the other lasted for several seconds but this is no way comparable to the issues I had with the Sesh buds. For the money, the SoundPEATS are both more reliable and also offer a similar sound quality. What small percentage of bass they are lacking in comparison to the Sesh buds is negligible when faced with the incredibly poor performance Sesh delivers. I would recommend only buying Sesh if you are using them in an enclosed area that isn't inundated with other signals as I am positive that is the issue here. The Sesh buds cannot maintain a solid connection when faced with ambient wireless signals of any significance.

not noise cancelling, but they were pretty great headphones. okay pairing and stayed in the ear VERY well but consistently became painful within an hour of use due to how snug they are and how hard the silicone is. but my beef with them is that both buds stopped charging within a year (so i assume the case is the issue). at the time i was confused, it felt like such a weird issue for a known brand to have. but with minimal research its not hard to find that a large amount of people have had this issue with all of Skull candy's bluetooth products. all of them. not only that but their customer service is horrible and theyll only issue refunds in the form of credit to spend on their products. and this is in cases where the product broke within a month mind you. do your own research is all i can advise. fyi before i realized all of this abt the brand, i bought the Indy ANC buds to replace the one im currently reviewing. the ANC left bud became unresponsive and uncharging within 20 days of purchase. yea. also would like to note that the sound quality on this set im reviewing was wayy clearer than ANC so do w that info what u will

--Introduction-- Now let me tell you these were the best earbuds I ever used, good sound quality, fit in my ears well, not to mention amazing battery life and recharge rate, however that's really only the good things I can say about this product. --Out of the Box-- These did NOT work right out of the box and had multiple pairing issues and the troubleshoot guide wasn't a help at all (this will be a common theme for the review). It kept disconnecting for no reason, even on full charge but eventually it just started to work I don't know what I did or how but it now worked which was great! --Usage-- When these things worked they worked very well, as said in the introduction, good sound quality (at least for my experience of owning other) and they fit really well in my ears, now I dislike having earbuds directly all the way in your ears but with their shape I was able to have them half in or quarter without them falling out (trust me I tested) but it depends on your ear shape and size. I also dig the look of these things, very stylish, however its mostly plastic though but that's more of me being picky. --Why it gets 3-Stars-- The 3 stars are for the comfort, looks and sound quality, but I hated how touch controls didn't work for half the time and only worked when you didn't want them to. The volume controls were fine though but everything else was not so good. You also had to adjust or pick up/take off/put in the earbuds using the stem in order to not accidentally turn off your buds or something else. Lastly these earbuds just quit working on me or at least the left one, all of a sudden the left wouldn't pair with the right so only the right would work. I tried to troubleshoot this and I did everything I could (trust me I did) to fix it but to no avail. Then the touch controls died and pairing after less than a year of owning these. Troubleshooting for these earbuds was abysmal and never worked. --Final Conclusion-- Should you buy these? Well its up to you, its $40 now it seems, which I paid more, but for the price they really aren't that bad. Minus the terrible touch controls and troubleshooting. To add on to this, i'm, really on the fence with this one.

I decided that it was time for me to get some wireless earbuds, and rather than go with Apple’s popular (and expensive) AirPods, I decided to stick with Skullcandy, whose earbuds I’ve been using for years in place of the basic Apple ones. They didn’t let me down! The sound quality is good (though I’m no audio technician), and they fit me perfectly once I switched to the larger ear gels. I really like the stability gels they include with these, as I’ve always struggled with earbuds of any brand feeling loose fitting, but these fit nice and secure. Battery life hasn’t been an issue for me, and the Bluetooth range is great for my needs. I really enjoy the touch controls built into the earbuds, and they’re pretty easy to get the hang of. It’s nice that I can still pause my music, turn the volume up or down, and skip songs while my phone is in another room (or just in my pocket). Honestly, just the simple fact of not having to deal with the wires that are part of basic earbuds was probably the biggest thing for me. I’d been dealing with them for years and had gotten used to dealing with the hassle, but going wireless is so much nicer. I can just take them out and pop them in their case in a matter of seconds, which makes wrapping up wired earbuds feel like a rather long experience in comparison. I guess this is a bonus of pretty much any pair of wireless earbuds, but it’s still a difference that I think is hard to appreciate until you’ve experienced it.

I got this product to replace headphones that were stolen and they were similar to AirPods but half of what it would costs and thought what the heck skull candy never let me down before. I’ve had them for a week and I haven’t had ANY problems. Pairing was easy and seamless and unless you are switching devices which it could become a problem. Noise cancelation is great as well as sound quality and they are comfortable which is one reason I always choose skull candy. Charging is simple, easy, and relatively fast and great for working out. I’ve used these at the gym and they stay in my ears no problem. My only complaint is would be nice if we could wireless charge them but I guess I would have to go to Apple for that luxury lol anyways great product! I highly reccomend!

After using these earbuds for about three days, I can definitely say, I am disappointed the only upsides to me getting these earbuds is that they have the excellent sound quality that i would expect from skullcandy Post Note: a day after I wrote this review, my Indy Wireless stopped automatically connecting to my phone, as well as connecting to each other. So now, the left earbud turns on, and that's it. a friend of mine can say that the microphone sounds good, idk how good it is after listening to podcasts for about an hour or two at work, they buzz a little bit (but very briefly - about a tenth of a second) and then the left earbud desyncs with the right earbud, playing whatever you are listening to about 1/4 second behind the right one after which you have to turn both of them off and back on wasting about 30 seconds with the terrible touch controls also, while they are comfortable by themselves, they need this rubber coating to make them stay in your ears which makes them ever so slightly too big, making them uncomfortable to wear for more than two hours the little rubbers dont stay on while theyre not in your ears, so i almost immediately lost one, while transferring it from the case to my ears the battery is good tho, it advertises a 4 hour battery, i got it to last a full 8.5 hour work day - with intermediate charging on my breaks and 1/2 hour lunch (in the battery bank case) the touch controls are horrendous one tap on the right or left earbud raises or lowers the volume respectively, while double tapping either of them pauses/plays highly annoying when trying to raise the volume which resets to almost all the way down every time you turn them on because you raise the volume and pause or go to pause and raise/lower volume it is surprisingly hard to put your finger in the right spot to get the touch to work read the above two lines for that overall, highly disappointed and dissatisfied in skullcandy's Indy Wireless if you want quality skullcandy earbuds try the Smokin Buds 2 or for quality headphones, or get the Uproar Wireless for cheap, reliable headphones; and the Hesh 3 for great mid-tier headphones
