Product Information
Full details
The Skullcandy Ink'D+ wired earbuds are designed for students, commuters, and travelers who need a reliable, hassle-free audio solution for music and calls. Their key benefit is the secure, comfortable fit provided by customizable ear gels combined with straightforward, plug-and-play wired connectivity that works with any device featuring a 3.5mm jack. While they offer excellent passive noise isolation, users should note that they rely on a physical wired connection, which may not be compatible with newer smartphones that lack a dedicated headphone port without an adapter.

FAQs
Do these headphones require charging?
No, the Ink'D+ are wired earbuds and draw power directly from your audio device.
Can I use these with my iPhone or Android device?
Yes, they work with any device that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. If your phone does not have this jack, you will need a 3.5mm to USB-C or Lightning adapter.
How do I control my music?
The in-line control unit features buttons that allow you to pause/play tracks and answer or end phone calls.
Are the ear gels replaceable?
Yes, the package comes with different sizes of ear gels to ensure a comfortable fit. You can gently pull them off the nozzle to swap them.
Does this headset have volume control?
Yes, the in-line control unit includes buttons for managing volume and playback directly.
Troubleshooting
Audio is only playing from one side
Ensure the 3.5mm plug is pushed firmly and fully into the headphone jack of your device. Check the cable for any visible kinks or damage.
Microphone is not picking up voice
Verify that the jack is fully inserted into the device. Check your device's audio settings to ensure the 'Headset' input is selected as the default microphone.
Sound quality is muffled or lacks bass
The seal is likely loose. Try a larger or smaller size of ear gel to ensure a proper airtight fit in your ear canal.
Pros and Cons

- Requires a 3.5mm jack or a separate adapter for many modern smartphones

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Ink'D+ is as simple as plugging the 3.5mm connector into your device's audio port. To ensure the best audio quality and comfort, test each size of the provided silicone ear gels to find the one that creates a snug, airtight seal in your ear canal.
To prolong the life of your earbuds:
- Storage: When not in use, avoid wrapping the cord tightly around your device, which can damage internal wiring; instead, coil the cable loosely.
- Cleaning: Wipe the silicone ear gels with a dry or slightly damp cloth periodically to remove earwax or debris, which can impact sound quality.
- Compatibility: If your device lacks a 3.5mm port, ensure you are using a high-quality, manufacturer-certified digital-to-analog converter (DAC) adapter for audio playback.
