Skullcandy Set review: Affordable sweat-resistant earphones with microphone
Skullcandy
Set is a pair of wired earphones for sports and fitness enthusiasts.
Priced at Rs 2,999, the earphones are sweat resistant that makes them
a suitable pair for people with active lifestyle. Besides, the pair
also have a microphone and a call controller, which also doubles up
as a track controller, that makes it easy to take calls, change audio
tracks, play/pause music, etc. on the go -- when connected with a
smartphone.
Being
budget earphones, the Skullcandy Set come in a generous package,
which includes three different sizes of earbuds – small, medium and
large – a pair of gels, and the main unit. The earphones come with
two-year warranty that make these pairs a good play in the budget
segment.
Design
The
Skullcandy Set have an in-ear design with changeable ear buds that
are neither too hard nor too soft, making them comfortable to use
while providing good noise isolation as well. For sports enthusiasts,
the earphones also have hook-shaped elongated removable gels for
enhanced fit, making them stick in ears while running, jogging or
doing any other physical activity.
While
the earphones’ design seems satisfactory, it is the rubberised wire
that does not do justice to them. It seems fragile, tangles easily
and requires proper care. Moreover, it attracts dirt and get soiled
easily too.
Performance
From
sweat resistance to built-in microphone for calls, the earphones
cover wide spectrum of utilities. Besides, it has sound drivers that
push quality sound. The output is balanced with good mix of bass and
treble. Push the earbuds a little deep inside the ear cavity, and the
bass feels overpowered – do this if you like the bass-heavy audio
tracks.
