Now that you know the basic design, let’s get a bit more technical. The Skullcandy XTFree earphones have been designed based on the ‘behind-the-ear design model, while an in-line mic and remote control have been provided near the left earpiece, as in most other Skullcandy earphones. While the Exterior of the earphones is Black, it’s the Eartips and ear fins where Skullcandy has lets their imagination run free. I will take a bold step forward and say that the ear tips and ear fins of the XTFree earphones are easily the most colorful pair you will ever see. The overall look has been adopted from that of marbelized rubber while the fitting is snug, designed in such a way that only a minor fraction of ambient noise is allowed in, so as to keep you sufficiently aware of your surroundings, while you are on a jog, or working out.
Coming to the in-line remote, it’s a three-button variant. The middle button serves the more important functions such as receiving calls, Play/Pause and also, pairing. The two buttons act as volume rockers as well as allow you to change the music track playing at that moment if you wish to. The earphones, being wireless, also feature the standard micro USB slot which will allow you to charge the earphones before use. Skullcandy claims that the earphones will give you 6 hours of use on a single charge, while it’s fairly obvious that the real capacity will vary based on the volume levels.
