Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless (2016) vs Massdrop x NuForce EDC3

The Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless (2016) hasn't managed to earn a top spot in any roundups from sources that conduct trustworthy hands-on testing. Nevertheless, reviewers from sites, such as CNET, PCmag, and allure.com all gave it a spot on their list.

Taking a look at the Massdrop x NuForce EDC3, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - HomeTheaterReview.com and Head-fi - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these In-Ear Monitors, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless (2016) got its highest, 8.4, rating from Runnerclick, while the Massdrop x NuForce EDC3 earned its best, 9, score from HomeTheaterReview.com.

Lastly, in order to better compare them to the rest of their competition, we averaged out their review scores. The Massdrop x NuForce EDC3 managed to get 8.8 out of 10 - considerably better than the 7.7 review average of In-Ear Monitors in general - whereas the Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless (2016) earned 7.7 points.

It should be said that doing a direct Skullcandy Ink'd Wireless (2016) vs. Massdrop x NuForce EDC3 comparison might not be entirely fair due to the difference in their prices - some sources don't put much weight on value for money and thus tend to give better review scores to more expensive products.
