Dime True Wireless Earbuds
Great sound in a small…

Skullcandy brands their Dime true wireless earbuds as “mini and mighty” and mighty they are! They are also up there with the smallest true wireless earbuds I’ve seen. The case may actually be the smallest. I love how the edges of the earbuds protrude just a smidge from the case to emphasize the Skullcandy logo. Regarding the earbuds and case themselves, I’m also a fan of the magnetized connection to the case. That feels super secure, which makes me feel more secure about the investment. I think the rubber ear insert sizes run a bit smaller than I’m used to.
The sound quality is great across a range of music styles. I was impressed by the sound cancelling quality as well. I've used the earbuds to listen to music and podcasts while working and while indoor cycling, in particular, but have also used them to watch shows on my tablet at night so I don't risk waking up the kids. I haven't had any issue with the fit, though none of these involve a lot of bouncing around. I also don't sweat too terribly much during cycle sessions, but what sweat there is hasn't affected the earbuds (they are water resistant).
The initial work with the touch controls was a bit challenging. The “button” area on each bud was difficult to find and required more pressure than I expected to need to use. When trying to control volume, I frequently ended up pausing songs. I feel like volume is going to be used more frequently than start/stop (for me) so reversing those two commands (single push for volume, double to start/stop) would be preferable.
I haven't had a chance to test the duration of the battery life -- I tend to put them back in the case and keep the case plenty charged. Haven't had an issue with the battery yet! Use for a couple of hours at a time will give you no problems whatsoever.
Overall, since I got the hang of the earbuds, which I received at a discount in exchange for my honest review, I have greatly enjoyed them. They are perfect for every day listening and comfortable.
