Good intentions but execution is okay
on April 17, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a biology professor and an avid runner, I put these noise-canceling earbuds through their paces in the lab, at home, on public transit, and during runs. They're solid for casual listening—great battery life, intuitive auto-pause when removed, and they do a good job blocking out street noise on the train or streetcar.
However, the active noise cancellation (ANC) has its limitations. While effective against environmental noise, it struggles in a busy café, where conversations still seep through. Another drawback is the loud voice prompt upon startup announcing battery life and connection status—it's jarringly loud every time.
For running, I wouldn't recommend them. Every step produces an odd echo, making the experience feel unnervingly claustrophobic. The listen-through feature helps with awareness of street sounds, but it doesn’t work well for conversations.
The charging case looks like a mace canister, and is way too bulky to put in a pocket.
Overall, they’re a good pair of earbuds, but not a standout in terms of features compared to competitors. If the price is right, they’re worth considering, but there are better options out there for runners or those seeking more tech savvy earbuds.

Better than air pods!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are amazing. Noise cancellation is better than expected. They hold up very well. Battery life is twice as long as my air pods. They’re comfortable and can wear for a long time. Highly recommend!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound quality, battery last a long time, very comfortable. Was very how glad to test this product. And will use for a long time. The earbuds also came with multiple sizes if needed although the default worked for me. I use them everyday at the gym.

Phenomenal ANC with some caveats
on April 20, 2025
Posted by: michaelo72_622
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ANC: The star of the show here. Phenomenal ANC that removes a lot of that outside noise without annoying hiss. The intensity can be controlled from the Skull IQ app. The Stay-Aware mode also works well.
Controls: Tap controls are accurate and very responsive. The Skull IQ offers additional settings like hearing modes, EQ, button settings, take a photo, multipoint pairing, low latency mode, and Spotify Tap.
Fit: These headphones include S, M, and L gel sizes. It also includes optional fins for an extra snug fit. I found these headphones secure during physical activity. Not the lightest, but isn't heavy either.
Case: The case will easily be the most polarizing design decision for most. The carabiner-style sliding case is intended to be attached to a bag or purse. With the logo facing up, you need to slide the case away from yourself to get the correct L/R orientation. The earbuds are on opposing sides, which can feel very awkward when orienting them back into the case. In addition, the case is bulkier than a standard case, which would make it less suitable for other applications like attaching to a running belt.
Sound: The clarity of calls is exceptional. The sound profile on this is bassy with recessed mids. The Skull IQ offers presets for Music, Bass boost, Podcast, and a custom equalizer. Personally, I've tried each setting and found the unnaturally bassy sound to be quickly fatiguing.

Husband loves them for gaming
on April 21, 2025
Posted by: stacias_world_818
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves these headphones! He uses them when he plays his game, the noise canceling is crazy because he can’t even hear me when I call for him. He loves how they fit into his ear, and the battery stays strong for quite awhile, they are super handy and he definitely likes them a lot.

Amazing Earbuds
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: 99catalina_8448
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds works great, not only do they fit in my ear perfectly without sliding around but the sound quality is amazing! These are noise canceling and when wearing them I truly cannot hear anything around me. I would definitely recommend them to others who are in the market for good quality earbuds.

Powerful base and anc
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: lakshb_2696
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The carrying case is a bit bulky, and it's definitely a little too big for pockets. But maybe that's why they give the hook. ANC is powerful. The bass is also good in true skullcandy fashion. Compared to my Samsung Buds Pro 2, the vocals are not as clear. The ANC is comparable. Pairing was a seamless experience

Great ANC collab from Skullcandy and Bose
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: path23_1483
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality: these headphones are a collaboration between Skullcandy and Bose. I was very impressed with the quality of ANC and they work as good as my airpods. I may replace my airpods with these now. The plastic casing could have been done a bit better as it feels cheap.
Fit: out of the box the rubber covers were too big so I swapped for smaller ones. There are three sizes so you should be able to find a decent fit!
Battery life: the charging case is pretty robust meaning it gets a longer battery life. I appreciate that it has a key ring as it was bulky.
Durability: so far these have been dropped but I haven't felt they are fragile at all. Like I said the case being bulky isn't ideal but it does protect.
Comfort: being able to adjust sizing with the in ear part as well as the separator ring helps to find a good fit. Overall they are bigger than airpods but seem comfortable enough!
