The Skullcandy Set comes in a generous package, which includes three different sizes of earbuds; small, medium and large. A pair of gels, and the main unit.
Skullcandy Set is a pair of wired earphones for sports and fitness enthusiasts. Priced at Rs 2,999, the earphones are sweat resistant that makes them a suitable pair for people with an active lifestyle. Besides, the pair also have a microphone and a call controller, which also doubles up as a tracking controller, that makes it easy to take calls, change audio tracks, play/pause music, etc. on the go, when connected with a smartphone.
The earphones come with a two-year warranty that makes these pairs a good play in the budget segment.
DESIGN
The Skullcandy Set have an in-ear design with changeable ear buds that are neither too hard nor too soft, making them comfortable to use while providing good noise isolation as well. For sports enthusiasts, the earphones also have hook-shaped elongated removable gels for enhanced fit, making them stick in ears while running, jogging or doing any other physical activity.
Earphones’ design seems satisfactory, it is the rubberized wire that does not do justice to them. It seems fragile, tangles easily and requires proper care. Moreover, it attracts dirt and gets soiled easily too.
PERFORMANCE
The output is balanced with a good mix of bass and treble. Push the earbuds a little deep inside the ear cavity, and the bass feels overpowered – do this if you like the bass-heavy audio tracks. From sweat resistance to the built-in microphone for calls, the earphones cover a wide spectrum of utilities. Besides, it has sound drivers that push the quality sound.
The built-in microphone does not face difficulty recognizing the voice, making it easier to attend calls on the go.
CONCLUSION
At Rs 2,999, Skullcandy Set seems to be a good value for money in-ear wired earphones that perform on all fronts. It would have done even better with a strong wire (maybe a braided one) that would have improved its handling score by a good margin.
