SkullcandyMethod 360 ANC Wireless Earbuds, Sound by Bose, Bluetooth Headphones, Premium Noise Cancelling, Up to 40 Hrs Battery, Sweat and Water Resistant, Microphone for iPhone Android - True Black

I LOVE these headphones. I have several ear piercings in one ear, and I struggle with in ear headphones. These are comfy, the sound is amazing, and I love how customizable the touch is. I have worn these outside working in the yard and in the gym, and haven't had one pop out yet. I can also eat while wearing these and not have it pop out. The battery life is no joke! I use them on average of 4 hours a day during the week and up to 10+ hours on the weekend (a mix of single bud and double bud listening) and I literally have to charge the case once a week. The ANC works great! I can mow the lawn, and it will take out almost all of the noise and I have no problem hearing my book. But what I really like is I can turn the stay aware on and it will relay my voice back to me and I can still hear my husband talk to me without having to take out a headphone out. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these if you were on the fence and were looking for a new in ear headphone.

I absolutely love the collaboration between Skullcandy and Bose. Purchased 2 sets, one for the Mrs. and one for me while it was on sale for $99 each. I've used them for two weeks now and there isn't much to complain about. Sound is clear, loud, and with some great bass which isn't overwhelming. Battery life has been great; I've worn them for up to 4 hours consecutively and they still had battery life. I found these earbuds to be exceptionally comfortable during these longer sessions. Phone calls come through clear, and I've been told I sound normal on the other end.Some issues, the charging case can be tricky with the design of the silicone on the earbud and if it's not just right, they will not charge. It feels like the earbud magnetically connects to the charger, but the thin piece of silicone prevents it. So just look out for that. The other issues to effectively use these earbuds, you have to download Skullcandy's IQ app which isn't saving the mode I frequently use (ANC off) since I often need to know what is going on around me. Speaking of the ANC, it's pretty good. It doesn't block everything but it does pretty well.Overall, I think these are fantastic earbuds at a low price given the 2 quality companies that created these. I would buy again and would recommend to anyone that likes clear sound but does not want to sacrifice bass.

Ohhhh my. The hype machine is in full gear with these bad boys. Everyone online seems to be fawning over these, even Flossy Carter has weighed in. And you know what that means.Whenever Flossy Carter gives a positive review, you can almost watch the sales curve jump through the roof.. And such as the case when Flossy recently reviewed this set of "premium" earbuds by... yeah you read that right. Skullcandy.Skullcandy isn't the first name to come in mind when you think premium audio products. Nor does the Skullcandy demographic invoke images of audiophiles discussing the size of the sound space or about sound profiles at given frequency ranges.In fact, when Skullcandy writes "Sound by Bose" you can be forgiven if you think that Skullcandy simply paid a hefty price to put Bose on the outside of the box. You might even suspect "Bose" of selling out, simply collecting a check for the use of their IP on the outside.But make no mistake, these earbud's clearly have Bose DNA in them. And even if you aren't the type that wears stocking caps or clips your earbuds to a backpack or belt loop, the slightly less sophisticated appearance of these is immediately forgotten when you hit "play".Now if you are expecting Bose level ANC, let me dissuade you of that idea immediately. The boys at Bose aren't going to sell the milk cow and the entire farm. So if you think you're walking out with $300 QC Ultra headphones in Skullcandy branding, I hate to disappoint you. There is no comparison in the ANC department.That being said, the ANC is adequate, and even favorably compares to my old Sony WF1000XM3's, which is still pretty impressive at this price point, but if you think this is going to topple the latest ANC from Bose or Sony, there's no danger in that.The ANC still is quite good, and the best part is that the sound profile does not significantly change when you cycle between ANC on and Off. Many less expensive ANC buds get bass forward and have a completely different profile when ANC is on, which is a real pain. The Skullcandy's remain consistent between all three modes (transparency, normal, and ANC). When I turn ANC on and off, I don't want the music to change, simply the background noise to disappear. And the Method 360's handle this with aplomb.And that sound profile? 100% Bose. And that is glorious. There is a bass boost function in the app for those bass heads, and a 5 channel EQ to further customize the sound. But to be honest. These things sound great and balanced when flat. The bass is present and has definite punch, but in a precise way. It is not booming, but crisp and exact.The mids are nice and full and the highs are presented with crystal clarity without being tinny.I'm not sure how Bose/Skullcandy are doing it, but these are some of the best sounding single driver bud's I've put in my ears.The $100 to $130 price range is right on target as well.My only complaints here are cosmetic. The earbud case is simply unreasonably large. I get it, I'm not the demographic, but since I'm primarily using these while on a plane, sticking the case in a zipper pocket of my carryon isn't a deal killer. Also, the orientation of the buds in the case are a bit problematic.Quick Tip: Hold the case upside down with the case facing towards you (you're looking at the skull) and pull the ring down. At this point the buds are not only on the correct side of your head, but they are in almost the same orientation as you would stick in your ears. Once you learn this trick, you'll never fumble putting these in and out again.But then again I shouldn't have to publish a tip on how to take the buds in and out of the case.Overall, a great set of headphone at a great price, and while they aren't earth shattering, they definitely brought Bose within the reach of an entirely new demographic, and that, is good for all involved.
