Don't Buy This: In-Ear Headphones

Well, I really didn't know what to expect. I've heard of Skullcandy, I've seen their products at Best Buy, but I've never owned their headphones. I have a pair of Beats Solo Pro. I was looking for headphones with the same functionality like active noise cancellation and transparency mode. I also wanted to make sure the sound was great. I like a lot of bass. And I also like clear ups and downs. However, I really didn't feel like shelling out $249 for the Apple AirPods Pro. I also think the Apple AirPods Pro are in our class, but I think they lack the bass. I've done a decent amount of research on various headphones. I looked at brands like Monster and Anchor and checked out the latest big brands likely to come out of China. However, I couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. Skullcandy Indy ANC is purely random. I've seen a few reviews written on Revain and I was able to find a few video reviews on YouTube as well. So you arrived today. I'm so happy. The headphones are matte black and colored. The case is also matte black with LED battery indicators on the front. The case is very similar to the Apple AirPods Pro. The way the buds talk inside the case is also very familiar. The presentation is very nice. And it seems to be made of high quality cardstock and paper. Inside the box is a nice foam center piece that holds the body and buds. There are also several documents that inform you about the product. There is a USB Type-C charger and cable. A pouch containing two different sized ear tips. The bag also has a few smaller ends. I was concerned the ends would be hard plastic. They are soft and rubbery, as are the tips. There is one app that is probably worth downloading. You can set up your own sound profile in the app. The cardioids produce the sound that best suits your ears. It's pretty cool. You can also control noise reduction and transparency mode through the app. In addition, you can control the equalizer. The application includes a user manual. Warranty information, product registration and other things. I also found a YouTube video by Skullcandy that has a quick guide. I found it much more useful than just an instruction manual. Anything you can think of in terms of controls can be done right on the headphones. The logos on the headphones are touch controls. It takes a little getting used to, but after a few times it becomes natural. Having tweaked the audio I'm not sure how they sound without tweaking the sound profile, it's actually quite nice. The base is good, not overpowering. He is pleasant and clear. High and drugs are very, very good. Low frequencies are comfortable. I am very impressed with the sound quality of these headphones. The call quality is very good. Interacting with your voice assistant is very easy and intuitive. I personally think that when listening to music and watching YouTube videos and movies on my phone, the cinema mode in the equalizer works best. Both the noise reduction and the transparency mode are also very good. There is definitely a very noticeable difference when switching between the two. There is also a normal mode in which active noise reduction and transparency are disabled. To be honest, I don't think there's a huge noticeable difference in sound, whatever you are. hear when switching between these three modes, which is actually very good. To top it all off, I'm very happy with these headphones. I like how they feel in my ears. The fit and finish are very nice. The controls are intuitive. The sound quality is very good. I didn't completely drain them so I can't say how long my batteries lasted. However, if you want to see the battery specifications, you can read the product description. Apparently they cost $130. Revain sold them for $99. I'm not sure how long this offer will be available. For what you get, that's a really good price. Even the full price of $130 is still good value as it's still below that of its main competitors. I would definitely buy them again and definitely recommend them. So this is an update. When I got these headphones they were new. There wasn't much information on the web. No, it looks like my left bud went out. This is of course after the reversed window. After investigation, left earphone failure seems to be a common problem with these headphones. I contacted Raven. There was nothing they could do. I was told to contact the manufacturer. Today or tomorrow I will contact the manufacturer. I'll post an update to see what happens. This is an update. I'm changing my rating from five stars to one star. When I received the goods for the first time, I was very satisfied with these headphones. They sounded great. They work great. They were exactly what I was looking for. A few days ago my left earphone broke. After researching these headphones online and reading the tech forums, I found that either the left or right side failing seems to be a common problem with them. Hello, I contacted Revain to see if I could get help and Revain was unable or unwilling to help. Because the 30-day return period has expired. They didn't want to take into account the fact that they could have manufacturer faults as left or right side failure is a very common problem. I have contacted the manufacturer to see if I can make a warranty claim. . I can because they have a two year manufacturer warranty. It's also a pain in the ass. I need to go to a website, print out a form or fill out an online form, then print it out and then print a shipping label. Take it to the post office or UPS or FedEx. And if I make a warranty claim and ship them back to them, I'll cover the shipping costs. The manufacturer does not want to cover shipping costs. Honestly, I would just spend the extra money and buy an Apple AirPods Pro. At least when it comes to Apple products, Apple stands behind their products 100%. And I can bring this product to any Apple Store or any store like Best Buy that is an Apple Certified Retailer and my items can be exchanged without question. Lesson learned. Now that I know how common these left or right output headphones are, I wouldn't buy them. And I don't recommend you to buy them because you will face the same problem as me now. Save money, spend extra money and buy Apple AirPods Pro.
