amazon Skullcandy Smokin’ Buds 2 Wireless reviews
Design
Skullcandy looks like a Over-ear, this kind of headphones also have some advantages such as reducing the pressure on the ear when worn, the battery can be larger should be used longer. Smokin Buds 2 Wireless has a large neck strap, the version we use is a combination of two colors are black and red to highlight. On the neck there is a charging port, covered with a piece of plastic to prevent dirt. The whole headset is made of plastic, but is handled so not cheap feeling.
The music controls are placed on the string, not on the neck. This strand is flattened, partly to anti-tangle and increased rigidity.
The headset is no different from the previous Smokin Buds 2. On the housing there are two black and red colors that are similar to those worn by the neck, which are decorated by the way of breaking and can not design the skull logo of the company. Skullcandy is a pretty simple design but still very eye catching, Smokin Buds 2 Wireless is also so, not too colorful but still beautiful.
Use
SB2 Wireless’s battery life is estimated at 6 hours. Actually this number is closer to 5 hours 30 minutes, not really impressive compared to other neckbanded wireless headsets, but not so bad.
As a Skullcandy headset, the SB2 Wireless has a slightly darker tone as well as a stronger bass for dynamic music. Recently, the company has also convert the sound so that the ear is more suitable for listening than the previous V shape.
The bass of the SB2 Wireless is more than average, but quite similar to Skullcandy’s recent headphones. This amount to those who listen to light music is acceptable, not too much to dominate the main instrument and vocalist. The sub bass is deep, unlike the XB650bt, SB2 Wireless is a bit heavier. This sub is not high speed, also softened to spread the background a bit, so the background is slightly dark and warm, but not clean and bright completely. This sub creates a heavy air, quite suitable for dance, trance need to recreate air like floor music. The mid bass also retains the same level of play and bass response, so it does not produce a fairly uniform bloated sound. With SuperNova, the bass of SB2 Wireless gives the air a lively, rather rounded and diffused sound, not rigid.
The mid section is thick and warm, quite similar to other Skullcandy headphones. The difference is that recently, the company has placed higher mid than the older ears, so it is clearer, more balanced and V-shaped. The high bass encroached on the low mid, so this section sounded thick, playing the male voice like Leonard Cohen quite like, because it’s compact, heavy weight and spread. In contrast, the female voice will also be slightly coiled down. In return, the headset has a lot of air in the middle, so the vocalist is dark but sweet and easy to hear, not bothered and condensed. So Alison Krauss’s warm voice towards Cécile Corbel brightened up well, still enjoying the good. The high mid headphones are softened, not sharp cut but of course do not create sibalance. For those who listen to light music, vocal, and instrumental, you can find the full ears in this band, because SB2 Wireless is not strong in the high mid range. But for those who listen to many songs, like strong music but sometimes “listen” to other music, this mid section is still good.
The headset to the hearing impedance should not be missed treble. The treble is not bad at all for a bass-powered headphone, of course not comparable to mid-treble such as the A65 or Piston Pro. Treble not too fast to create a sense of loss. But in general, the treble is still dedicated to listening to powerful music, pop music market rather than treble the hard-hearted.
