Skullcandy Ink'd 2.0 In-Ear Headphones with In-Line Microphone - Black

Product Information

The Jib is not equipped with active noise cancellation technology either, which means you lose out on the complete surround sound experience. The Skullcandy Jib consists of a 0.36-inch dynamic driver. The driver aids in the transmission of sound through the ear canal. The highs of the Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 have some brightness and detail and are piercing only with very high peaks, overall they are not sibilant. If an EQ is applied they rapidly become very sibilant and a bit more piercing. However, they clear up a lot and are able to provide much more detail than before equalizing. If you are obsessed with Skullcandy, all you have to do is determine your planned use to figure out just what you will need. People often confuse earphones with earbuds, but they are two different products that offer pretty much the same function.

The Remote control lies near the left earbud. And the Bluetooth’s built-in microphone is more than capable of producing a loud and seamless sound when speaking or listening. Additionally, the earbuds are not water-resistant, which is a negative if you often use the earbuds while working out or going for a run/jog. The remote control is situated along with the left earbud. Unlike its counterpart, the Ink’d come with two volume buttons to increase and decrease the volume as required, and you can also control it with the smartphone. Widely available online at Rs. 2,999, the Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless is an upgraded version of the Ink'd 2.0, which can be bought for around Rs. 1,000 right now. This wireless in-ear headset is similar in essence to its predecessor, but there are some design changes to enable the newwireless functionality. We're reviewing the Ink'd Wireless, so read on to find out everything about the latest wireless headphones from Skullcandy. The Jib has a 4.0/5-star rating as rated by 2498 customers. Whereas the Ink’d have a 4.5/5-star rating as rated by 11,094 customers.

The premium you pay is going entirely towards the Bluetooth functionality and battery that allow for wireless use. However, the Bluetooth connection isn't always stable even at close range. There is occasional transmission lag, but this doesn't happen very often and is unlikely to bother you too much. The specifications mentioned above are not unique to headphones but also to earphones & headphones alike. Final Thoughts On Skullcandy Jib vs Ink’d Moreover, they are one of Skullcandy’s more portable offerings, and they are designed with versatility in mind.

The Ink’d buds also have better clarity overall and better high-end extension (though still nothing to brag about). The Marshmallows have much more bass, but it is of poorer quality – less defined and less refined. The Marshmallows are definitely warmer and smoother overall - the Ink’ds have a good amount of harshness and are very bright at the upper end. Plastic earbuds usually are one-size-fits-all. This aspect can be awkward and unpleasant for some. It relies on the shape of one’s ears. They have a high standard, simple,integrated mic for voice calls that isolates voice inputs from any interruption. The speaker drives are more powerful than the average. However, the earbuds are not water-resistant, which is a negative if you often use the earbuds while working out or going for a run/jog.The super light housings (and cheap feeling plastics, in our opinion) makes them comfortable to use even for extended time, they fit securely to withstand any normal use and are easy to put in and out. Skullcandy is a brand that manufactures solely earphones, headphones and speakers so audio should not be a unknown matter to them. The Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 are part of the budget line of their earphones and are positioned above the Skullcandy Jib line. The cable is actually pretty nice – rubberized to prevent tangling and not particularly thin, ending in a straight plug, with strain reliefs on both ends. It definitely bests some far more upmarket IEMs. Mids of the Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 suffer from medium recession mostly on lower mids and lower vocals, overall they are warm, higher mids are not as recessed and at the same time they are not harsh. With an EQ the INK’D 2.0 improve very noticeably with much better lower mids and a lot less of recession. On the other hand, higher mids get harsh.

Issue: Not seeing the LED light on Ink’d® Wireless that indicates earbuds are charging. Or, not seeing LED light on Ink’d® Wireless that indicates headphones are finished charging, despite charging for 1+ hours . I will go through my experience with the Ink’d buds at length and then sum it up for the tl;dr types. All on-the-go listening was done straight out of a Sansa Fuze and at home I used an iBasso D10. As a result, they are prone to falling out regularly, particularly during physical activities like running and working out. A great wired two-way earbud, the Jib prototype is another inexpensive earbud from Skullcandy’s noise-canceling range. First impression upon getting a good seal: holy crap that is some *massive* driver flex. Very unpleasant, but not a problem once they are in. The fit is pretty standard – they fit like most other straight-barrel IEMs and can be easily worn up as well as down. The fact that they are also very light makes them comfortable and microphonics are nearly non-existent. Very easy IEMs to wear if you can find tips that seal and are not bothered by driver flex, and easier to insert than the Marshmallows as well due to the longer, more “grippy” barrel.

This Skullcandy Ink’d earbud comes with an Inbuilt microphone and remote control, which is a must-have component in earbuds these days.

Sometimes, the voice can be so loud that it can force the customer to listen to music at lower volumes. They engineered the Skullcandy portable Link technology that combines headphones with hands-free cellular technology.The Jib is not equipped with active noise cancellation technology either, which means you lose out on the complete surround sound experience. Skullcandy Jib vs Ink’d Features Skullcandy jib Moreover, Bluetooth is built-in and allows you to use the earbuds wirelessly if you lose or cannot be bothered to untangle the wires every time. We were sort of turned off by the construction and quality of plastics used for the housings and to be true we were not expecting much from the Skullcandy but to our very surprise the Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 have a very nice, fun and punchy bass that is still balanced and not excessive, sub-bass has enough depth too. The 11mm dynamic driver and the neodymium magnet are efficiently doing their job. With an eq the Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 become much punchier and gain a lot more of depth. So, if you prefer to use it for bassier and party-styled music you can safely apply an EQ and fine tune the bass of them. Skullcandy Jib has a deep, smooth, and clean bass that audiophiles would enjoy. This is all thanks to its more significant drivers. There is no distortion in the bass.
