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

Product Information

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. If you are not too worried about a budget, then the Skullcandy Ink’d be the way to go as it comes with remote control with a few extra buttons. 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. 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.

The hybrid circuitry processing delivers a broad range of sounds that provide a holistic listening experience. This earphone does not have left and right labelled. It's made in such a way that you can use any bud for any ear. While it's smart and saves you time so that you don't need to always search what ear you need it to put it in, it makes your ear extremely scratchy and uncomfortable for the first few times you wear it. After a few days of use, you will get used to it, and it'll be hard to switch to earphones which aren't designed like this. 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 jib can also produce heavy and powerful bass thanks to its dynamic driver. The Skullcandy Jib earbud consists of a smooth cable and a great build. Though it can seem to be a trivial distinction, the earbuds are often superior in convenience, reliability, and audio quality.

Hear It First

Sound isolation is slightly worse than average requiring volumes a little bit stronger to be more efficient. The Skullcandy INK’D 2.0 are part of the budget line of their earphones and are positioned above the Skullcandy Jib line. Skullcandy Ink, just like its counterpart, is a portable earbud with great sound. You will see a good balance between low and high mids here.

To better understand some of the products’ specifications and what they mean, I will try to break them down for you below. What is sensitivity?The Ink'd Wireless is not without faults, though. Bass levels are certainly on the heavy side, which can get tiring over time. Additionally, the soundstage is narrow, mids and highs are easily overpowered by lows, and the Bluetooth connection isn't always stable. If you can bear some of these flaws and want a comfortable pair of wireless in-ears, the Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless is a good option to consider. If you are obsessed with Skullcandy, all you have to do is determine your planned use to figure out just what you will need. If audio quality is essential to you, earbuds are not the right option as ambient noise produces poorer bass. It would help if you still played the music loud enough to drown out the ambient noise. 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
