According to some reports, more people are switching to TWS earbuds from traditional wired and wireless neckband earphones. This is allowing audio device manufacturing brands to launch more TWS earbuds in the market and as the TWS market grows the competition grows as well. Thus with the increasing competition leading audio device manufacturing brands are competing harder with one another making cheaper TWS earbuds with premium quality audio outputs.

TWS in Daily Life
First, come the mobility and ease of carrying this earbud as you are going to carry these TWS earbuds outdoor most of the time. So, it is necessary for them to be lightweight which makes it more comfortable to carry both the case and the earbuds while plugged in the ear. In this case, we can see the Skullcandy Jib is almost 45% lighter than the boAt Airdopes 621 and thus it will be easy to carry without any problem.
Now the battery life is one of the main factors of a TWS earbud. The more battery capacity a TWS earbud gets it then allows the user to go wireless for a longer time without charging the buds. In this case, the boAt Airdopes 621 has a total of 150 hours of battery life, and individually it has almost 5.5 hours for each earbud and this is one of the best right now in the market. On the contrary, the Skullcandy Jib TWS has only 22hours of battery backup time in total and this is one of the most common times offered nowadays in a budget TWS earbud.
Now with any kind of battery capacity, fast charging is a must nowadays, but in this case, only the Airdopes 621 has it, unlike the Skullcandy Jib that still has a micro-USB charging port.
Design-wise both earbuds are perfect for your outdoor activities. It will match your style on any occasion.
Now I hope you can choose between these two budget earbuds. I personally prefer the boAt Airdopes 621 for its design and huge battery capacity.
