Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Water Resistant Earbuds - Black

First of all. These are very cheap headphones. Like, they're made of fine plastic, they aren't especially nice looking, and they aren't the "popular" kind of headphones people use these days- those being "true wireless earbuds", aka airpods and clones. That much is obvious, of course, yet I've given them a five star review. This begs the question, what niche DO these headphones fulfill? Firstly, the sound quality to dollar ratio is phenomenal on these at the price I paid for them. They are incredibly inexpensive and sound fantastic. Like most Skullcandy you should expect slight a slightly more sculpted sound profile, with your bass being somewhat more powerful then your mids and highs, but on these, it's actually surprisingly not as intense of a sculpt, making them excellent for general, non-music use. And that is precisely how I intend to use these. They come with several bits. 3 sizes of nubs for the ears- small, medium, large. And, visible in the marketing materials above, you can see it also has this sort of ear spacer loops to supposedly assist with keeping them in your ears. These are removable, and depending on the size of your ears, could be quite uncomfortable. Personally I find these unnecessary, but not uncomfortable, so I removed them. Lastly it comes with a tiny clip to join the two wires to prevent them hanging down your back if you want. I don't bother with this but it works fine for the purpose. I'd also like to praise them for using non-environmentally destructive materials for the packaging. It's basically 99% paper. But, moving along- as I said before, I primarily use these for a non-music use. I used to use pairs of Skullcandy Smokin'Buds 2 Wireless as my primary "sleeping headphones". IE- I wear them to reduce outside noise and listen to ASMR tracks when I go to sleep. But, despite my purchasing 3 pairs as backups, they all have begun to deteriorate or broke outright, and my final pair are now on their last legs with the wire beginning to fray quite severely. So, I had to locate a suitable (and hopefully inexpensive) replacement. I decided to give these Jib+ a try. The qualia for sleeping headphones is: - be comfortable in the ear by default when fitted with the correct size nubs - be low profile to allow you to lay on them directly without them getting pushed inward - not have excess cable or physical design that gets caught on bedding or pillows - last at least 4 hours or so - not be gratingly loud when they turn off at low battery - be relatively noise isolating - have faithful enough sound reproduction to handle the sort of sounds one hears in ASMR tracks well Now, comfort and how low profile they need to be to comfortably lay on will vary some from person to person- but for me, I am happy to report that, with the loops removed, this pair is very comfortable to sleep with. So much so I have now ordered two more pairs as backups, much as I once did with the old Smokin'Buds 2s. Other than that, my only other critique is that they are tragically use the old USB micro B connector instead of the more modern Type C connector we've all grown to love. So with all that, I'd say- overall, if you need a cheap pair of bluetooth headphones and don't need "true wireless" ones, look no further. These will the best option in terms of price to sound quality easily.

I don't like to dig for ear buds or having left or right randomly connect/disconnect, so I prefer this style. They sound good, have survived long term in a fairly physical work environment, & survived doing 90mph on a harley.

Pretty good earphones for a pretty good price, with a few annoying details. The best thing you will get out of these is sound quality, i dont know if its extra bass or such but these sound very clear, doesnt drown out song details and generally doesnt give out poor sound quality. Material wise, they dont feel cheap, not compared to other earphones ive had at least, and theyre small and easy to carry. They are fairly reliable, never had issues with connecting it to my phone and always worked as intended. Heres where my criticism starts, first of all these do not enjoy being around your neck. Having had other earbuds of this same design style they are very good at staying to your neck to the point where you can forget they are there, these do not, its not like they fall off or such but more like they will slowly slide to one side or the other and will need readjusting before usage sometimes. Next is the battery, good duration and quick charge, but incredibly, and i do mean INCREDIBLY annoying when it is low on battery, believe me it will damn well let you know when its low on battery. It will basically keep cutting any audio youre listening to playing noises and saying lowe battery, it made me insanely angry at times but its forgettable more often than not. Aside from these i have nothing more, maybe some quality of life improvements? Examples are: magnets for the earbuds, ive had a few in the past where they have magnets and lock together below your neck, makes them easier to handle(cant think of another way to describe it). USBC Connector: I was insanely shocked when i saw Micro USB being used on these earbuds, although it isnt exactly a gigantic issue it certainly was hard to get other ways to charge it apart from the wimpy little cable it came with(seriously why has it become industry standard to sell such useless little cables). Although my criticism may seem much longer than my praises i dont want you to get me wrong, i do really like these earbuds, i bought them on the premise that they would sound better than the ones i had, and they very much delivered on this front. They are very much worth it for the price and if it got improvements in the future i would only approve of it even more! Thank you for reading.

Great earbuds that stay in even when working in the yard or moving about. I added a "clip" to attach them to my clothing for extra "drop" security since I use them during exercise, chores and yardwork. No earbuds I have tried (6 sets) will stay in my ears when I move around but these provide great retention in the ear and if one side comes out (RARELY) it stays attached as designed.

If I’m comparing these ear buds to everything on the market, it gets 3 stars. Compared to the older version of the same ear buds, it would only get a 1. I misplaced my old set and bought these as a replacement, expecting them to be as awesome as my original set were. They seemed okay ish at first, but then my old set turned up. First, the sound quality of the new set is a solid 1/5 compared to the old set, which is a 5/5. Flat, uninspiring, and bland. Second, battery life is terrible in comparison. I will wear earbuds for up to 6 hours straight - I’ll sleep in them sometimes too. New set: battery is depleted from 100% to 10% in 5-6 hours. I wore the old set last night for 6.5 hours and the battery went from 100% down to 70%. I realize this isn’t a flagship product, but the difference between the set I bought two years ago to the set I bought this year are night and day. Good thing I found my old set, I guess. The new set can be stashed away for emergency use or given to one of the kids when they destroy theirs. Such a bummer. This is the first set of skull Candy ear buds that have left me disappointed.

These are the perfect headphones for sleeping. I've bought this same type many times. It is comfortable in the ear and you can lay on a pillow ear-down and not feel a thing. They do tend to fall out overnight but I don't really mind cause I'm already asleep by then. I wish they didn't have the earbud to earbud wire, but if they didn't they'd be much bulkier and uncomfortable for sleeping. Also I wish the charge lasted a bit more, I need to charge these every day. Even with the cons, I've yet to find a more comfortable headphone for sleeping at this price-point.

Let me make this clear, I have been a skullcandy customer for years and like their products. I got this JIB+ in order to replace my set of Ink'd+ that I thought I lost; thinking they were the same thing but an upgraded model. They are not. This is basically a piece of wire with a few buttons and a couple of ear buds attached. Not even comfortable ear buds either. These shift and slide on your neck and constantly fall off taking the buds out of your ears with them. Eventually, when the thing wouldn't power off and let me use my car sound system for a blue tooth call I finally had enough. I got out of my car and literally stomped on them, ran them over, then got a piece of wood and set it on top of it and ran it over again so that it wouldn't be protected by the rubber of the tire deforming. It still didn't die, so I pulled out the emergency multi tool in my glove box and cut the wires and crushed the control box with the plyers. Only then did it die, and I didn't care what the people at the Costco Gas station thought about me screaming over the crushed remnants of this little piece of ****. Which says something good about the durability of the product but that's the only good thing! I honestly expected better from a Skullcandy product. I'm still going to use my my old Ink'd+ headphones, that I found, but I'll be hesitant to try any other products after this experience. TL;DR - The best experience I had with these things was when I destroyed them.

I absolutely love these earbuds. They’re very easy to pair with my iPhone 16 pro max and have great battery life for my needs. Sound quality is great as well, and it helps that there are different sizes for the caps that go into your ears. My ears are small, so the smallest caps were perfect for me. I’ve only had them about a week so I can’t speak too much to the durability, but I’m also not hard on my them, so I’m sure I won’t have any issues. Connectivity has been stable. Someone in a previous review mentioned that the included usb charger doesn’t fit a standard usb port. It does. It just visually looks different from what we normally see and doesn’t rely on being plugged in any specific direction, if that makes sense. The only con for me is the volume is very loud, even at the lowest setting. I’m almost certain this is an iOS issue more than a problem with the earbuds, which is something to keep in mind. Included are photos comparing the decibels between these and my AirPods at the lowest volume.

Cant beat the price. Little rubber bits fall off sometimes but....its 15 bucks, hold a charge decently and sounds just fine. Go buy 300 dollar apple brand ones if you're cool ....if not, save 285 bucks and try these. Connect to my samsung phone right away everytime.

These are a great value. Work well for the price. I use them regularly.
