FAQ

Q: Honestly why are you still using micro USB in 2022?
A: Skullcandy continues to use micro USB because the cost difference between micro USB and USB-C connectors is minimal for them. Additionally, modifying the existing models to include USB-C would require engineering work and additional expenses. However, the Dime 3 earbuds released in September 2023 feature USB-C charging.

Q: I accidentally wash mine, is it waterproof? It works fine now but should I be worried later?
A: The Dime 3 earbuds have an IPX4 water-resistant rating, which means they can withstand splashes of water and sweat. While they should be fine after accidental washing, it's always a good idea to dry them thoroughly and ensure there is no moisture left inside.
