Tech Review – Skullcandy Dime 2 Doritos edition

The Skullcandy Dime 2 are one of the latest new products that are in a collab and this collaboration is with Doritos and whilst they might look and feel the same as the Dime we last reviewed there is some differences here but other than that they sound identical to the Dime and look identical apart from the UV reactive light which I have no lamp to test but you can see how they work with their own video, there is a difference between glow in the dark and UV reactive light for those who do no know.

There is no access to their app this time around which I found odd when they have Tile built in which is hand being such a small earbud but they have the rest of the features you would come to expect from Skullcandy. They fit well and block out plenty of the outside world and stand out even being so small with the colour.

You again have the basics when it comes to controls on the earbuds albeit small and if you have big fingers you may struggle a bit until you get your muscle memory in order,  you can skip and reverse tracks, play and pause music and change the volume which is enough for most people and you can control calls.. There is one button on each earbud that controls the lot keeping it simple.

Overall these are an inexpensive pair or earbuds rejuvenated but sound good and give more than enough and great value for money, check out the video review below for a full hands on.

Hands On – Skullcandy x SLYR gaming headset and Dime 2 Doritos edition #Skullcandy #Doritos

The latest new tech to drop into techbuzz is a collaboration between Skullcandy and Doritos edition which of course is limited and will start shipping next month and we have been lucky to get our hands on them early to check them out, this is not the first time Skullcandy have done a collaboration and we hope to see more down the road and cast your mind back to last October when they announced a collaboration with Capcom and check out our review of the Limited edition Street fighter headset.

Not much has changed here but the branding which is stansoutish to say the least which I like over the neutral colours we see everyday and with the collaboration it makes it that bit more special and of course been a limited run.

“Skullcandy and self-expression are synonymous and this drop is no different. Together with Doritos, we’re adding a little flavour to a space traditionally saturated with muted colourways, allowing gamers to stand out from the competition,” said Derek Steiner, Director of Global Brand Partnerships, Skullcandy. “The SLYR and Dime 2 are the ideal products for this collab, both accessible and packed with flavour so gamers can boldly be themselves. The duo provides the best of both worlds – SLYR for gaming at home and Dime 2 for on-the-go mobile sessions.”

If you want to know anymore ask as always and we will gladly answer you and we will test them out over the coming weeks given there is more aesthetics that has changed here we will test them out and check the full unboxing video below for all the details.  The limited-edition Skullcandy x Doritos are available now for purchase exclusively on Skullcandy.com and will ship mid-February. Overall my first impressions so far are they stand out and are loud and sound as good as their original models.
