I have recently just purchased the anc version of these earbuds after watching and they have really good bass for earbuds, although I do notice the feeling of pressure in the ears, and its very similar to large earplugs. If you sleep with any kind of earplugs it shouldn't be an issue for you but if you have sensitive ears it might be tough. Thanks for a great review a lot of your points are really solid and I i noticed them too.
I disagree with the “having to take out and give my ears a break” I wear these all day at work, charge when I get home, then sleep with 1 in all night long and they don’t bother my ears at all.
I had the ANC's first last year . They were good, but I noticed my phone disabled the noise canceling during calls. Then after about 3 months, my right bud started crackling so I sent them back to Skullcandy and their customer service was amazing. Since my phone disabled noise canceling during calls, I opted for the plain rails for my replacement. I got them and I couldn't be happier. I did make one small change though, I got some different ear cups from Amazon and since switching them out from the factory Skullcandy ones, they stay in my ear perfectly and don't feel any pressure.
I have the Skullcandy Rail. I do in fact agree with the pressure but I think that's mostly due to the fact of them for a noise isolating fit. Although for me personally, the pressure didn't cause too much of a problem for me
I got them a week ago. My Sony WF-1000XM4 got broken. They are perfect less the ANC. They are lasting more than Sony, they are easy to wear and light, they sound louder but the quality is better to Sony. Sony costed me 2,5x the price of Skullcandy so I guess is a very good product! The bass is crazy!
I own the Rails and I don't feel any pressure from them Id also like to say after doing the hearing test and messing around in the EQ a little bit (just turned the lows up 3/4 of the way up) I almost prefer the rails over my crusher EVOs
@@AdventureswithCC does it have that good bass? The crushers are my favourite headphones ever and I'd like some earbuds that have a similar sound signature.
Bass is definitely deep but I wouldn’t compare them to the Crushers. Those are made specifically for bass lovers. The bass on the Rail is good and you can always adjust it with the onboard EQ
Honestly, between all the Skullcandy earbuds I’ve tried, I would highly recommend the Mod. They have a lot of features including good sound and they come at an affordable price point. I know they’re not either of the two you mentioned but they’re definitely worth considering!
i love these earbuds but i have a huge problem, when im using even just 1 its hard to hear around me and listen to music at the same time. i also just dont like the transparent mode
I had the exact same issue with my pair. I said it in my review but music has to be at a very low volume in order to be able to hear my surrounds with Transparency mode on. Hopefully they can fix it in the future
I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t had the chance to test the JBLs so I can’t give a proper suggestion. So, I’ll say get whatever you can get a better deal on
It just really comes down to whether you want ANC or not. If you can live without ANC then go for the normal version. If you need ANC then spend the extra. Keep in mind that the ANC version have bigger drivers which might produce better sound
hey I just got the skullcandy rail, an upgrade from my og indy's but Im wondering form anyone who can answer this, why are these things so damn loud? its so brutally loud that it hurts to even listen to the Bluetooth lady telling you the battery percentage. the minimum volume (6 percent) on these things is around 75 percent volume on the original indy's, around 35 percent volume is so loud it is louder than full on music concerts, leaving your ears ringing, and max is so bloody loud that its similar volume to my phones speaker at around 20 percent. I tried multiple devices connected to this, i updated the firmware on the iq app, im sure these arent faulty buds so why is everyone ok with the fact that these things are louder than aipod pros max volume at just 40 percent volume? like these will seriously make you deaf within minutes at max volume, if the speakers dont fry first.
That’s actually very odd. I never had this issue with my pair. In fact, compared to all the other earbuds I’ve test the Rail had a ‘normal’ volume level. I didn’t feel like they too loud or deafening. Maybe I’m losing my hearing 😂 the only thing I could think of was that it may be a software issue but it sounds like you’ve done all your troubleshooting. Perhaps try exchanging them for another pair or contact Skullcandy?
@@AdventureswithCC I Haven't tried another pair of rails but I doubt that is would be a manufacturing issue because the chance of assembling two earbuds incorrectly, yet identically is very low. thanks for the feedback tho.
@@Mr---mr4llyour just like me bro i like my ear buds loud and i recently bought skull candys rail xt anc and i didnt really like them. I think i might have crusher evos headphones for bass and different earbuds for sound quality and loudness

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time and watching! Apart from the pressure, I hope you’re enjoying the earbuds!

That’s lucky, I wish I could say the same! Everyone’s ears are different though. I’m glad you’re enjoying them

I wish it wasn’t too much of a problem for me. But, it’s lucky that you’re able to wear them without too much issue!
Is the mic good?
I included a mic test at 8:00 if you wanted to have a listen

Wow that’s awesome! It’s great to know they can hold their own against the big brands!

@@AdventureswithCC what earbuds would you recommend for a bass lover?
Of the ones I tested, I would say the Jabra Elite 3
What type of cover can I buy for mine I need cover
What is the best option: Skullcandy rail, the normal version or grind, also the normal version. And why'? Please help me.
Honestly, between all the Skullcandy earbuds I’ve tried, I would highly recommend the Mod. They have a lot of features including good sound and they come at an affordable price point. I know they’re not either of the two you mentioned but they’re definitely worth considering!
My left earbud doesn’t even power on
Can you fast forward a track?
You can’t fast forward a song with the controls, you will have to use your phone for that
i love these earbuds but i have a huge problem, when im using even just 1 its hard to hear around me and listen to music at the same time. i also just dont like the transparent mode

I have rail version and have a problem with them: right bud drains 2 times faster than the left one, wtf it is happening is it battery issue?
I never experienced that with my pair. It could be a hardware related issue. You may want to contact Skullcandy to find out
Hello, I have the same problem, did you figure it out why? Or did you get in touch with the seller?
@@fernandoorellana1568 nah, I just left it like this
i own the anc ones, my only issue right now is one side wont charge
That’s super strange! Were you able to figure out a fix for this?
Got the Rail Anc I love ‘Em they are the AirPod pro alternatives
That’s really good to know!
they do sound really good in my opinion
can i use it for gaming
Yes you can. They are decent but they won’t replace traditional gaming headsets
Are these touch or button controls?
These have touch controls
This or jbl vibe beam?
I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t had the chance to test the JBLs so I can’t give a proper suggestion. So, I’ll say get whatever you can get a better deal on
I can have these connected to my phone and my steam deck heck yeah
Multipoint connection coming in clutch!
hey, i don't know which to buy, the normal rail version or the ANC version, what do you think?
It just really comes down to whether you want ANC or not. If you can live without ANC then go for the normal version. If you need ANC then spend the extra. Keep in mind that the ANC version have bigger drivers which might produce better sound
Thank goodness I'm a leftie lol, I find myself reaching for my left earbud first
That works out then!
Are they worth 50 bucks?
If you can get them for $50, I’d say they’re worth it. They come with a lot of features that make them good earbuds, even for the regular price.

ugh talk faster
ugh put the video in 1.5x speed
Are they loud??? I know it’s bad but I really like my loud ear buds? Would appreciate any response. Thanks
I would say they’re about average. For me, I found listening to music at 60% was just right
what are some loud ear buds you can recommend. many thanks @@AdventureswithCC
Off the top of my head, I would have to recommend any of the Jabra models
