Skullcandy Dime 3 or Smokin' Buds: Which Should You Buy?!

What's up TM Nation?! In this video, I provide you all with my comparison of two budget heavyweight earbuds from Skullcandy, the Dime 3 and Smokin' Buds. Both pairs offer good battery life, impressive sound quality, respectable call quality, and all-around performance for under $40, but the Dime 3 earbuds are packing some features that you won't get with the Smokin' Buds. For an in-depth look, watch the video! Thanks for watching!

Which pair do you think takes the Skullcandy budget earbud crown👀?

[Omar_Little]

it is insane that they programmed touch controls to change EQ modes, rather than simple track change.

Thanks for the review! Yesterday I catch a budget on the Dime 1 for about 18 dlrs. I’m going for the Dime 3 but man, I really miss the old days when Skullcandy got some good colorways.

I bought the dime 1 over 1 year ago and they work great for me. I definitely recommend it, they are small, sound good, comfortable, compact and are sweat resistant. The dime 3 are a good update. The Dime area is doing a good job with these headphones. Without a doubt, there are features that are not necessary that help contain the price of these headphones. I will buy it as soon as it arrives in my country.

I bought the crusher anc2 on your review, the rail anc, and now I have ordered the dime 3s on this review... you are the skullcandy guy...mahalo

[Cyan.enierga]

Love how I'm watching this with the old dime 2's. 2 r still good, can't wait for my dime 3's to arrive

[murugesans]

Hi, I have dime 3. Initially I didn't like the sound. I use wavelet EQ in android. I set the graphic equalizer to dark and now it sounds very good😊

I have the Skullcandy Smokin Buds. It works really well. Bass so deep. I like it on bass boosted mode

[SAHILSAM]

Hi boss !!! Watching ur video on my new dime 3 which I just got an hour back...and for the sound test I am watching ur video the very first time...🤟

[merciless]

Love the touch controls on the buds, they react with a thin beanie and gloves on.

[neal_birds]

I got the Smokin buds yesterday and it works really well. Love their headphones!!!

[augustin]

that smoke transition on the smoking buds was priceless 😂😂

[chinumaya]

Brazy review my brother. Very clear and very detailed review for both. Very well compared. Good one.

I looking to update my Dimes2. They been good to me. I even rely on the Tile feature a lot and they save me many times. Only negative I can say is the Tile sound coming out of the earbuds are extremely weak. Almost useless unless your in close area.

Trying to decide over Dimes3 vs MOD , do both have Tiles feature? Is the extra money on MOD worth it?

[rtkami]

between these and the jlab go air pop, what would yall choose?

[Francescashu]

Had my dime 3s about 3 months, bass boost mode is pretty great 👍

[kd_edits]

Dime 3 buds or smokin buds which is best to buy? In your point of view.

[silvermushroom-gamifyevery]

You could have ended the video at, "The Smokin' Buds uses touch controls".

[Hopmad]

Has anyone ever mistaken you for Vince Carter?

[JmasTheKilla]

The smokin buds are 14.98 at Walmart and are the best work headphones ever due to the loud clear sound and bumping bass the price is insane because they don't sound bad at all!
