Review on 🎧 Skullcandy XTplyo Teal/Green In-Ear Sport Earbuds with Microphone by Tony Watts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Personal preference: They're superior to the Powerbeats 3, but they're not wireless.

First off, let me say that when it comes to headphones, I'm hard to please. When I receive a pair of headphones, they are well used. At home, in the city, in the shop and especially at night when I sleep. They have to be particularly comfortable for sleeping, otherwise the night can become difficult. I can safely say that they go through all the situations I need them for. I returned a pair of Powerbeats 3 wireless headphones a few days ago. They were like sleeping with a brick in your ear. but they sounded good. When I saw these Skullcandy I thought they would pass the comfort test but I was concerned the sound would be poor. WOW, I was surprised. I'm listening to them right now and throwing all genres of music at them to try them out. Eminem. great bass and crystal clear snare drums. blink-182, great instrument separation and no distortion. I have them on my computer right now as I write this. However, they really shine on my Android phone. I use an app called Poweramp and turn on the treble along with the treble and it shines through hip hop and other low end heavy music. The Powerbeats did the same, but I honestly prefer the Skullcandy sound over the Beats. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I saved a decent amount of money by purchasing it. Now I don't miss Powerbeats at all. These look like aliens. But rest assured, the sound is out of this world. ;) I strongly recommend you to try it. I don't think you will be disappointed if you are looking for great sound, comfort and headphones that stay in your ears during activity.
