Review on 🎧 Skullcandy Smokin' Buds 2 In-Ear Earbud - Black and Red by Lawrence George

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap build quality. Rather spend a few euros more for something better.

I have to say I am very disappointed with these headphones. I have had really solid, high quality and excellent audio systems in the past with the slightly more expensive Skullcandy. It wasn't what I expected for only a few tens of dollars less. Their build quality is terrible. The odd rubbery quality of the cable reminded me of a free pair of headphones I kept as a backup that I got with a super cheap developing world ZTE Firefox phone. So I took them for comparison. Basically, the processing quality is identical. That means I paid $20 for the same thing I got for free as an add-on to something else. Their sound quality is slightly better compared to the package set, with slightly lower frequencies, but otherwise the difference is very small. They work, they don't sound terrible, but overall not a great experience. I don't expect them to last very long under heavy use.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Sound is ok. Construction feels cheap
