Skullcandy is one of the most popular and well-known brands of earbuds right now. The Jib’s non-wireless version is a cheap and simple pair of earbuds that is currently their cheapest option. The Jib also comes in a wireless version, but it costs about twice as much. The packaging is simple but good enough for cheap lightweight earbuds. It’s just a stiff piece of plastic with a small space for the wire and other accessories.
The earbud is simple and light, and the tips that come with it are kind of flimsy, but they fit very well and kept a good seal. The wire is also simple and not very strong. The left and right sides are only stuck together at the joint, and it looks like each side only has one layer of insulation. The jack is pretty sturdy and fits in well, but the support isn’t very strong. The wired Jib comes with or without a simple in-line mic for a few dollars more. Overall, the Jib is about as light, basic, and flimsy as earbuds can get, but the fit and seal are pretty good. The ear tips on the Jib True are made of soft silicone. The earbuds are easy to put in and take out, and you can wear them for hours without feeling any pain.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]The Skullcandy Jib True Wireless come in several different colours, including “True Black,” “Chill Grey,” “Orange/Black,” “Golden Age Red,” “Light Grey/Blue,” and “92 Blue,” which is red, blue, and yellow. We tried the “True Black” version, whose label you can see here. We think that the other colour options will do about the same overall. The Jib True doesn’t need or work with any other apps. You just connect them directly, and if you need to change the sound, you can use the EQ on your device or music player. It looks like there is no way to update the firmware. The 6mm dynamic drivers in each Jib True earbud have a frequency response of 20–20,000kHz, 98–103dB SPL, and 3% THD at 1kHz. They can connect to Bluetooth 5.0 and support SBC and AAC. There is no way to pair more than one device. In a master-slave configuration, one earbud connects to the source and the other one connects to the master.
The microphones on the Jib True are pretty good. Even if there is a lot of noise around you, callers should be able to hear you well enough. The latency performance of the Jib True is fine. When watching videos, the audio delay isn’t noticeable, but it might be in some games. The latency is good enough for just watching YouTube videos and playing casual games.
