Skullcandy Ink'd Bluetooth® Wireless Earbuds - Red/Black
UPC's:
For A First Set of wireless headphones Pretty good
wireless pair improved the general comfort for one, but the band will move and slide if you move to much wouldnt recommend for running, simple buttons make answering calls easy and quick simple 3 second hold of the volume for track skip is nice, now onto the sound quality considering that they aren't noise cancelling headphones the sound is amazing because i only have it up halfway and it gets quite loud charge time is quick and lasts for days with light use heavy use will last you about a day

Great for the price
Great headphones for the price. Build quality is good. Sound is good Easy to setup and connect via Bluetooth. Comfortable for the durations I have had then in which is around 1.5 hours. Negatives Sometimes the signal can drop I have found. I have had my phone in my pocket and the signal is sometimes interrupted. Only for a brief second, then playback continues. Overrall I would recommend these for the price range. Good base and clarity and able to stay in my ears when exercising.

So good, this is my second pair
Bought these at the start of last year as a rare ‘treat’ to myself and loved them, so when I lost them I bought them again without question. Comfy enough to wear for a full charge (6 hours, give or take), easy to pair and really good sound quality. The noise cancellation is impressive at reasonably low volumes. Only gripe is they cut out a bit if they’re tucked under a thick coat collar, but it’s only occasionally and solved by letting the control end of the neckband poke out a bit.

Works well but wish the sound was slightly better
Comfortable in the ear, feels well made & features work well with little effort.Feels very sturdy and feels like it can take a bit of 'abuse' and cope with it. I was sceptical of the 'collar' design, but when on you don't notice, it actually helps maintain the position of the ear buds in your ears. My only complaint: I wish the sound had a slightly bassier sound - it does feel a bit too 'trebley' - but that could well be my being slightly picky - would definitely recommend regardless!

Exactly what I was looking for
Perfect for the job! They lay on your neck and balance well, and don't get in the way when I'm running on the treadmill or walking the dog, painting a wall or gardening. Perfect. The only downside is that the sound quality isn't perfect, the bass isn't what I would hope for. However, I listen mostly to audio books so I don't really care! The only downside is that the instructions for connection were not clear. I had to go on an online forum to find out how to tune them in. Happy happy!

Unusual design but works so well
At first I wasn't sure about the design, as you hook them round your neck & have two bars resting either side but found it quite comfortable. The sound is not the best I've had but it could be due to getting a snug fit in the ears? It connected to the phone via Bluetooth quite easily but did seem to lose connection every now & then, not sure what caused that as phone was near me all the time? Great to have no wires attached. Managed to try a dress on & still listen to my tunes. Fabulous!!

Comfortable with good sound quality
Connects really easily and location of receiver means less interference when your phone is in your pocket Sound quality is OK in lower ranges, spoken voices can sound a bit tinny but generally I was happy with the sound Major downside is that there is no auto-powerdown function, even if you disconnect the Bluetooth on your phone. The headphones stays on, so if you've forgotten you'll come back to a dead battery Does fully charge in under 4 hours and last for the commute there and back

Good but needs work
quick intermittent connection issues where the sound just stops. Happened enough to become an annoyance. but seemed to somewhat settle after 40-45min. Distance was from my pocket near my waist to my ears, so it should have been distance related. although they don't look like any other bluetooth headphone design and I have not exercised with them yet, they felt comfortable and sturdy. I would not buy them again unless they were on special. Sound was reasonable, although lacking a bit.

Brilliant earphones
I bought these earphones because the headphone jack on my mobile is damaged. They are lightweight and connect via Bluetooth instantly. I wear these on the treadmill, on my commute into work and also whilst jogging in the park and I've had no problems. They even work under a thick winter scarf. You just need to remember to switch them off when not in use and also to charge them, with the included USB cable, before leaving the house or work. They provide just under 5 hours playing time.

Very good but not for TV
Very good for the price, easy to connect and comfortable. However, I bought them to use with TV as everyone tells me to turn tv volume down! I have a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into a Virgin V6 box but as this Skullcandy does not support aptx there is a big echo. ok if you mute tv but sometimes you want tv at low volume as well. Now swapped for a pair of Sennheisers which support aptx , have no echo but at nearly 3 times the price! Argos exchanged them without fuss.

Great Value for Money
Bought this to experiment with Bluetooth headphones without breaking the bank. A perfectly easy set of headphones to connect to my mobile, and as good a sound quality as similarly priced wired headphones. Battery life excellent. The Bluetooth collar isn't that obtrusive although attempting to hide it under your shirt collar or a zipped up jacket will cause some connection problems if your phone is in your trouser pocket. Other than that, a great buy for the price.

Now I could never say I was a gym fanatic or have ever been in one, but these inear headphones are ace. The sound although not awesone is better than using boxed headphones. There is a reasonable amount of use (approx 6.5 hrs) but a 1.5hr recharge to full stength. The collar looks flimsy but is actually comfortable and after a while you forget it's there. All in all a very good product where the bluetooth works well and you are not getting tied up with a lead.

Best I've found
I've been looking for a pair of wireless earbuds for ages and have tried lots (even expensive brands) but found them uncomfortable. These are not only so comfortable I can wear them for hours (even forgetting I have them on), but also sound amazing! They paired easily, a charge lasts all day, have great noise cancellation, the band is flexible so can coil up and easily fit in a pocket...in fact, I don't have a bad word to say about them. Even the price is great!

Great
Happy with my purchase they sound great just like my inkd wired headphones. Worth the price. The only thing i dont like is the actual wire for the headphones....its very thin and im scared of catching and breaking it. It may even become short like conventional headphones where you have to twist the wire in a certain postion for it to work. Hopefully not though! And its just a minor that my over analytical self is worrying about.

Good value for money
However if you are planning to use them during exercise, then I would recommend something else. This is a good product, great design, durable (this is my second pair, bought it as a replacement because I lost the first pair). The only downside is that if you are planning using these headphones during exercise is that they slide from side to side which makes it uncomfortable. Apart from that I would highly recommend this product.

Surprisingly Loud and Clear!
This product is very loud and clear and is definately worth the money!! I couldn't believe it was so loud and clear.. I bought this product for the gym and the weighted ends make it stay around my neck easily, it stays charged for many hours and pairs easily with my phone. It doesn't have a bulky design and as a result can be used in a variety of different situations and it's easily transported. Would recommend to others!

Good but not great for running
Good design, good quality and good sound however depends what you're doing but in my case headphones are not very good during running on the treadmill. Additionally during making sit ups you're losing your headphones completely - it will be good to have something to connect both cables in the front - and make them look more like necklace. Additionally - it's very hard to find proportional size case for this headphones.

Not bad for the money
These headphones are good value, they charge up quickly (about 2 hours) and can be used for several hours. The bass sounds are not as powerful as some of the Sennheiser ear buds, and the silicone ear pieces are OK, but could be more comfortable. I had a damaged pair of Sennheisers, and used their silicone bits on these, which fitted perfectly. You can wear them quite easily, and they are comfortable over long periods.

Spend more money and get something decent.
The sound quality is reasonable when listening to music but you do get an audible hiss when listening at low volumes or in phone calls. The position of the mic makes it almost impossible to use as a headset however as you can almost never be heard. Pressing the button to answer the call resulted in the headset disconnecting from the phone and so I had to answer calls from the phone itself. In short, avoid them.

Wireless Headphones
I've been dubious about Skull Candy in the past but wanted wireless headphones that were affordable and functional. I use them for the gym and they are great. The signal is quite strong so even if you put your phone down somewhere it will keep the bluetooth signal going. I've had no battery issues as of yet. They are comfortable and the sound quality is more than enough for their purpose and price.

Reliable sound at an affordable price
This is an excellent value product. The sound quality is functional. If you are looking for crystal clear sound or noise cancellation look elsewhere. However for the price you pay it is perfectly adequate. I would definitely recommend these headphones if you are on a limited budget. You get what you pay for in terms of sound and much more in terms of reliability and comfort.

Brilliant.
I bought these for my partner for Christmas and he has barely put them down since! They are comfortable and stylish to wear and they don't look odd or stand out in the wrong way. Wireless is extremely handy and convenient when bobbing around inside somewhere and walking away from your sound device. Definitely worth the money, I'm interested in seeing how they fare and for how long!

instructions are simple easy to use!
Started using them as soon as I got them and I love them. The sound quality is perfect and they are perfect for my commute. Always around my neck so never fumbling about with cords. The size is perfect and discreet. Super comfortable and flexible material. The Bluetooth connectivity is fast and the sound quality on calls are great too. I'm totally happy great value for quality!!!

Great headphones and very comfortable
I got these on a whim and have had mainly skullcandy products previously. I wasn't disappointed, the battery life is very good and you barely notice them while being worn. The sound quality is comparable to other skullcandy products which in my experience is very good. I'm very happy with the product and for the price in comparison to other Bluetooth headphones it's very good.
