Dime XT 2

I'm a massive fan of the Skullcandy XT2 and XT3 They're super small and pretty cheap. I feel like they sound really good. They're concealable if you work at a place that doesn't like earbuds.

My soundcore p30i have been decently good at doing it, and they have both anc and transparency. Skullcandy has the dime series which are also good at bass but the build quality isn't the best and they have some issues.

Yeah i was surprised. Usually the popular stuff falls short. I got dimes abnd it was awesome cause i wasnt worried about losing them(never had buds cuz i scared id lose them) but theyre cheap enuf i didnt need to worry. I gave em to my mom and she loves them now too c:

I have some skullcandy dime buds that are decent. Dirt cheap, but they've lasted for like 3 years and only now starting to crap out. I'm looking for something to replace them now, but not because I want something different. I just want to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck with my next pair. 

indy anc and rail anc have been really great in my experience. only complaint with rail anc is in a phone call ive accidentally hung up by brushing against them and idk what press associates with hanging up, i no longer call with them anymore so i havent experienced it since. dimes are really good basic earbuds to have, only issues i had with them was sound bleeding to people around me

The earbuds themselves sound great, they're comfortable enough. I really dislike the button controls, they're so sensitive that a slight breeze can pause your music. I have turned off all touch functions aside from volume -/+ and pause to help mitigate this. The case is a monstrosity and it is quite difficult to get the buds into the case reliably. I have been using my Skullcandy dime earbuds more often than my brand new method 360's.

Personally I've used Skull Candy dimes (cheap, there's a tactile response to pressing them for volume control etc) and Nothing CMF Buds 2 .... (cheap, unfortunately no tactile response, and volume control isn't really possible - but does have active noise cancellation). I've always taken the view that they probably won't last more than about 6 months given sweat or my ability to lose a bud somewhere ...
