What reviewers said
Skullcandy Dime® 3
The Skullcandy Dime 3 are compact, budget-friendly true wireless earbuds that deliver surprisingly punchy sound and a secure fit, making them a solid choice for workouts. They offer Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint, a transparency mode, and Tile tracking, though they skip active noise cancellation and come with a basic control scheme. Overall, they're a practical pick for the price, with good battery life and a small charging case, but they lack some premium features like a companion app or wear detection.
- Pro:Punchy bass and clear sound for the price
- Pro:Compact case with quick charge support
- Pro:Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint and Tile tracking
- Con:Controls are finicky and hard to use
- Con:No ANC or companion app
- Con:Battery life is average at best

While they don't quite reach the top tier of Sony's lineup, they pack a solid set of modern features into a small and practical package.
- Pro:Very lightweight and comfortable fit
- Pro:Good active noise cancellation
- Pro:Supports LDAC and multipoint connectivity
- Con:Battery life is modest without the case
- Con:Sound quality is good but not class-leading
- Con:Case lacks wireless charging
