Features
Reduces ambient noise using microphones and inverse sound waves. Allows for immersive listening in noisy environments like public transportation or busy streets. Improves focus and reduces listening fatigue.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not feature active noise cancellation (ANC). Instead, it relies on passive noise isolation from the in-ear design to block out some ambient noise. This is less effective than ANC, especially in loud environments, as it only physically blocks sound rather than actively canceling it out. Users seeking significant noise reduction should consider earbuds with ANC.
Allows external sounds to pass through, enabling awareness of surroundings without removing earbuds. Useful for conversations, traffic awareness, or announcements. Enhances safety and convenience in various situations.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not have a transparency mode. This means you cannot easily hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds. This can be inconvenient or unsafe in situations where you need to be aware of your environment, such as walking in traffic or having a conversation. Users may need to remove an earbud to hear external sounds clearly.
Enables connection to two devices simultaneously, allowing seamless switching between them. Ideal for users who frequently switch between phone calls and music from different devices. Improves productivity and convenience.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not support multipoint pairing. This means it can only be connected to one device at a time. You will need to disconnect from one device before connecting to another, which can be inconvenient if you frequently switch between devices like a phone and a laptop. This feature is more common in higher-end earbuds.
Allows users to adjust the sound profile according to their preferences. Enhances the listening experience for different music genres or personal hearing profiles. Provides greater control over audio output.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not offer a customizable EQ function. This means you cannot adjust the sound profile to your personal preferences. The sound signature is fixed, and you cannot fine-tune the bass, mids, or highs. Some users may find the default sound profile to be adequate, while others may prefer more control over the audio output.
Uses a mobile app to locate misplaced earbuds by playing a sound or displaying their last known location on a map. Reduces the stress of losing earbuds and facilitates their recovery. Saves time and money by preventing replacement costs.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not include a 'Find My Earbuds' function. If you misplace the earbuds, there is no built-in way to locate them using a mobile app or other method. This feature is becoming increasingly common in wireless earbuds and can be helpful for preventing loss or theft. Users will need to be careful not to lose the earbuds.
Automatically pauses or resumes audio playback when earbuds are removed from or inserted into the ears. Provides a seamless and intuitive user experience. Conserves battery life and ensures no missed audio.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not have in-ear detection. Audio will not automatically pause when you remove the earbuds from your ears, and it will not automatically resume when you reinsert them. This can lead to missed audio and may require you to manually pause and play the audio using your device or the earbud controls.
The charging case can be charged wirelessly using a Qi-compatible charging pad. Offers a convenient and cable-free charging option. Simplifies charging and reduces cable clutter.
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless does not come with a wireless charging case. The earbuds can only be charged using the included Micro USB cable. Wireless charging is a convenient feature that allows you to charge the case on a Qi-compatible charging pad, but it is not available on this model. The lack of a charging case also limits the total battery life.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Skullcandy Jib+ Wireless are entry-level wireless earbuds offering basic functionality at a low price. Sound quality and battery life are adequate for casual use, but fall short of higher-end models. Durability may be a concern with long-term use. Good for those new to wireless earbuds.
