Listen to music while you work out with these Skullcandy XT Free S2WIHW-448 in-ear wireless headphones, which feature TripleLock Tech to keep the earbuds in place. The built-in Bluetooth pairs with your compatible device to allow wireless music control.

Returning this purchase.

I want to start off by saying I am a huge fan of Skullcandy! I have multiple pairs in different styles. Definitely my favorite brand of headphones! So you can imagine how excited I was to see they were coming out with a Bluetooth sport Earbud. In the time I waited for the product to be released I purchased a cheap pair of some no name brand to hold me over. These were no where near the quality I get from Skullcandy so I could not wait to buy the xtfree and be done with this generic product.
6 hour battery life, tech to keep the buds in my ears, what's not to like when reading the product description?! The day finally came, I had them in my hands. I tried them out the first day at the gym, 1.5 hours max. I kept having to readjust them, the sound quality is diminished do the Earbuds constantly breaking the seal in my ear. The band is super noisy while running, with and without the adjustable clip. Then the next day I try them again, before I get to my run, around an hour into my workout, the battery starts to die. Super is disappointing. Figured maybe they didn't get a full charge. Nope, made sure they were fully charged, I only get about 2.5 hours out of them. This is sad to me considering I get better sound quality and battery life from a generic brand of earbuds. The xtfree is no where near the quality I expected when buying them for my use. The only good things I can say about this product is that the build seems very nice and the bass sounds better than the other earbuds. But it is not near the quality of other Skullcandy buds I have.
I do believe the problem I am having is due to the fin lock. I am disappointed this in not interchangeable without ripping or cutting it off. I really do not want to do that so I will be returning the xtfree, and sticking with the off brand. Not the outcome I was hoping for. This has lowered my trust in purchasing their products in the future. I do hope you have a better experience with these than I have.
