I have a real love/hate relationship with most true wireless earbuds. They’re great for when I’m sitting in one spot but tend to pop out of my ears at inopportune times while I’m working out. I’ve tried and loved Skullcandy‘s active earbuds in the past, and they’re leaning into the need for more secure true wireless earbuds (TWE) with a major release of their all-new Skullcandy Active Collection!
Skullcandy has always been great on both your ears and your wallet, and they considered budget in these new Active Collection earbuds, too. Now there are three new Skullcandy Active Collection: the Skullcandy Push ANC Active ($99.99), Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active ($89.99), and the Skullcandy Push Play Active ($59.99), so your budget won’t constrain you from enjoying earbuds that will rock your music without leaving you doing the mid-air juggle because one popped out.
The Skullcandy Push ANC Active and Push Play Active both feature low-profile ear hangers that help hook the earbuds in place and fit them in your ears, while the Sesh ANC Active uses an in-ear fit grip to keep it in place.
The press release says the secure low-profile ear hangers can keep the earbuds in place “at the gym, on the trail, or upside down in mid-air.” Admittedly, hanging upside down is a weird place to opt for earbuds*. Still, at the same time, if you are climbing (or…skydiving?) with earbuds in, those are also terrible places to DROP earbuds since it’s unsafe for both the earbuds and anyone unfortunate enough to be standing underneath them while they fall.
*Unless you’re Spider-Man, and given the sort of luck that guy has, he would definitely lose earbuds often if they weren’t on hooks. Ergo, Spider-Man would 100% rock Skullcandy earbuds.
Her headphones aren’t going anywhere, but Skullcandy can’t say the same for you if you stand in her way.
If you spring for the Skullcandy Push ANC Active, you get up to 37 hours of battery life with ANC on/58 with it off (including time in the charging case), 4-mike noise canceling, and an adjustable stay-aware mode so you can enjoy music and still be sure you hear anyone around you. Also, the case has wireless charging, so you can just toss it on a charging pad between uses.
Plus, the headphones themselves are IP67 water resistant (good for up to 3ft of water for 30 minutes, so your sweat won’t fry them!).
The Skullcandy Sesh ANC has a battery life of up to 28 hours with ANC and 48 hours without ANC. It also has a stay-aware mode and IP67 water resistance.
The budget-friendly Skullcandy Push Play Active has up to 34 hours of battery life, IP55 sweat resistance (don’t submerge them, but, again, sweating within reason is fine), and an adjustable stay-aware mode.
No matter which set of Skullcandy headphones you grab, you’re getting an incredible amount of tech AND sports convenience in one stylish package!
I like the idea of earbuds that will stay put! Checking these put for sure.
I like the price & look. Ear buds usually don’t stay in place for me so I like that these have ear hangars
