Skullcandy XTFree Bluetooth Wireless Sweat-Resistant Earbud with Microphone, Lightweight and Secure Fit, 6-Hour Rechargeable Battery, Pureclean Tech to Keep Earbuds Fresh, Black/Swirl

Best bang for the buck! I usually have a problem with headphones staying in my ears (apple headphones fall out from just turning my head) and usually have to go for earbuds that wrap around the ear. The last pair I had were the Anker SoundBuds Sport NB10, good headphones that never fell out but the bass was lacking. I wanted something that were equally as secure with a nice punch so I thought I’d give these a try. At first I was skeptical but after using them I can say that they are very secure even when I’m running or doing box jumps and the bass is the best I’ve heard so far compared to other workout earbuds for the same money. They also come with your standard selection of earbud sizes which do a good job of passive isolation of surrounding noise. What’s nice is they also come with earbuds with little cuts in them that allow outside sound to still come in, good for people that want to know what’s going on around them while still listen to their music. Only CONS are the wings basically push against your ear to give that secure fit but can make your ear a little sore after extensive (2 hours +) use, nothing serious but you’ll feel them there. The connectivity isn’t as good as the Anker’s I had before, with those you can literally walk across the room without any drop in connection, the skullcandy’s are good up to a maximum of 15 feet before they start dropping in and out.

Just don’t do it. I know you’re looking at the bad reviews and thinking, “they can’t be that bad.” Because that’s what I did. And I still bought them. I bought them April 25. It is now June 30th and I’ve got a pair of Beats I’m waiting for. Why? Two months of dealing with the short battery life, pain in the butt button, and how much they bother my ears. They now only last for 1 minute. They’ll charge for 8 hours, and the light will turn blue to indicate they’re charged. Then no warning they’ll just power off suddenly, saying the battery is too low.Not enough?Day one. I’m excited. I love skull candy. So I toss them on the charger ASAP. After four hours. The light is still red. But I unplug them and set them up. Sound is amazing. Ear buds? They hurt to put in for the first two weeks, and hurt worse to take out of my ears. Back to the original point, they didn’t even last 30 minutes. This went on for the rest of the day. Me more and more worried that this was going to be permanent. I let them charger over night. The next day they did Okay.You’ll get about two hours out of them. with the last 30 minutes. Spent with the ear buds telling you they’re dying. Every two minutes. The power button is flimsy and sometimes it takes five minutes just to get them on.Normally I love skull candy. I’ve had pairs of them for ages. But these were a huge disappointment and just the worst ear buds I’ve ever had. It’s not worth the low price. Especially when for $40 you can get a pair of wireless beats that last For 8 hours, don’t hurt your ears, and have next day shipping with prime.

After a long search, I am happy! Comfortable, truly waterproof - sweatproof, and GREAT sound! No issues with connectivity, or linking - If I am in an open area, I can walk away about 30 feet before I have sound issues. I live in a 2 story home, and had no issues being upstairs and my phone charging in the downstairs kitchen.Sound quality is amazing - no issue, volume control is great, and they do a great job of shutting away the world when I need them to.I ran with them, no slipping, falling off...Comfortable fit, and the additional ear plugs help those that need a different fit.No issue after a few weeks of heavy use, charges up fast and battery life I cannot comment on - I've used them for 5 hours tops, and charged them. Typically most people will use them for 1-3 hours, I think that's average and a quick 20-30 min charge thereafter brings you back to Full.Easy to use, and no complaints!

Comfortable, they look great, sound quality is amazing for the price, but the range of the Bluetooth is absolutely pitiful. Sometimes I can’t be more than 3 feet away from my phone in order to have clear audio. Would still buy again, but be forewarned.

i have had the Skullcandy XTfrees for at least a month and here are the pros and cons of this productPROS-Great sound ( The XTfree's have a excellent sound quality, with moderate bass and good clarity, though I do not recommend to a audiophile)-Excellent battery (Battery can last 5-8 hours on a charge, takes less than an hour to charge)-Good build quality ( though the material of the product is plastic, it does not feel cheaply made or it could break by stepping or sitting on them. The XTfree's have a flat cable that does not tangLE and feels rugged as if a tug could not rip them. There is a mic and button control on the XTfree's cable, which can be easily used with a Up and Down Volume button along with a pause button. Though these buttons work perfectly, the buttons feel very "mushy" as if you are not pressing a button, other than that they do work perfectly)-Earbuds ( the box comes with multiple earbuds to fit your ears comfort. The buds feel very comfortable as they are soft and squishy)-Carrying Case (The XTfree's come with a mesh carrying pouch which is small and nifty to place in a bag or pocket, but the warned the pouch does not give the XTfree any sort of protection. Inside the pouch, a micro usb is included.CONS-Ear wings not removable ( The ears on the XTfree's cannot be removed. Along with that I have experienced discomfort within 30 minutes of wearing. Others who wear the XTfree's do not show signs of discomfort, so my experience could be a personal one)-Bulky ( The battery causes the casing of the earbuds to a little bulky which could upset a few people, but I did not have any problems with its size)Overall these are excellent earbuds which I recommend, but there are better options on the market, but these buds are cheap alternatives.
