Review on 🎧 Skullcandy Riff Wireless On-Ear Headphone - Stylish Grey/Teal Gray/Speckle/Miami Design for Ultimate Sound Experience by Deshaun Fisher

I'm not a fan of wireless devices. I hate Bluetooth so I didn't like the fact that I had to switch to wireless headphones. This helped me change my mind as it's easy to connect them. SETUP: My biggest gripe with wireless networking is that it takes longer to connect and set everything up, and it's faster just plugging in the cable. Well, these headphones are as easy as plugging in a cable. Once you plug them in, and then every time you use them, it's as simple as the flick of a switch to turn them on. And the initial setup wasn't too bad. It took me 2 minutes max to enter the bluetooth settings and add the headset. VOLUME: I was a little worried they wouldn't be loud enough because they don't cancel out noise or completely cover the ear, but rest on top of the ear itself. Volume is not a problem. They get loud enough to hear on the table. They might not cancel out noise, but when you turn on the music, you won't hear anything else. Plus, listening to a podcast on a crowded train wasn't a problem. I could hear the podcast clearly. SOUND QUALITY. The next problem with wireless is that the sound quality suffers, but that's not a problem either. The music sounds fantastic. You won't be able to tell these headphones apart from wired headphones. The sound quality is incredible. BATTERY LIFE: I thought constantly charging the earbuds sucked, but you really don't need to charge them often. I've had the headphones for about a month and I think I've charged them twice. They charge very quickly. In fact they sent loaded which was nice. I don't know how long the battery actually lasts, but that's because they never died on me. So you can easily listen for an hour or more on the way to work, and then an hour or more on the way home from work without having to charge in between. I don't know if these stats hold up as the battery ages or if I was just lucky, but I hope they hold up just as well. PHONE CALLS: To my surprise, you can take calls with this headset. I didn't think that would happen since the mic doesn't hang from a cord next to my jaw, so I was pleasantly surprised. Not only can you make and receive calls with the headset, they sound really great. The person I spoke to said my voice was clear and didn't sound like I was speaking on speakerphone or anything. For my part, I heard the caller clearly. Therefore ideal for hands-free calls. COST: Excellent value for money. Most of these headsets cost well over $100 and are approaching $200, so at $45 they're a bargain. DURABILITY: This is the only area I use headphones for. They look cheap and plastic. I haven't had any issues with them breaking in any way, but it seems to me that with aggressive handling they can easily be crushed or broken. I mean, they're not complete garbage. You can drop them on the floor from head height (like I accidentally did) and they won't break when they hit the wooden floor. They also fold up nicely so they can easily fit in a briefcase or bag, which is a big plus. They can be carried around in my bag all day, but I feel like if I had something heavy in my bag or if I drop my bag a lot, I could break the headset. GENERAL: A great pair of wireless headphones that I highly recommend.
