I bought these after sending back some Marshall headphones. I’ve been using skullcandy since 2010! I can honestly say these headphones sound incredible. The fit is brilliant with several options for different size rubber inserts.The case is nice and chunky and feels good quality. I got the white ones which I usually go for black or red but thought I’d try something different. They do however look a little bit like an old fashioned hearing aid. I think the skull logo on the earbuds should have been red.But overall very impressed. The ANC Is great. Can’t speak for the battery life yet because I’ve only had them for 12 hours. Not sure how long it will last.But value for money is great. Well done skullcandy and Bose.

I recently purchased these after losing a smaller wireless earbud set. I am a heavy headphone user as I have to travel often for work so after losing my cheaper smaller pair I decided to upgrade to a pair with ANC.I used skull candy headphones many years ago when you could find the wired version in pretty much every HMV in the country. They were much cheaper then and the audio quality wasn’t ideal but for the price they were acceptable. I read a few reviews on these and decided to take the plunge with skull candy again.Pros:The look of these are super cool. I opted for the leopard print pair, and I really like how they look, all around in terms of design. I also appreciated the size of the charging/storage case as it’s a lot more difficult for this to slip away from me unnoticed like my previous pair, but more on this later.The audio quality is decent. I work in live music as a technician, and although my specialty is not audio, I’d like to think I have a reasonably good ear, especially as my role requires me to use in ear monitors every day. These sound absolutely fine. Are they on par with my IEMs? Absolutely not, but they are far and beyond better than my last pair of ear buds, and after a little equalizing I’m happy with how they sound. They’re for commuting, not for working, and I’m happy with how they sound. They also work fine for calls.The ANC is also very good. They’re don’t completely block out the sound but as you switch between ‘sound aware on’ -‘sound aware off’ and ‘ANC’ on, there’s a noticeable difference between the three settings. I’m currently sat in a pub waiting for a colleague which is playing insanely loud music, and the ANC is taking the edge off to a great degree even without any music playing.The functionality of the earbuds themselves is good too. It’s really easy to control them by tapping the unit – 3 taps to scroll through the ANC settings, one tap for pause play ect – you can also customise these tap functions in the app. It’s super responsive, maybe a little too much sometimes as I’ve accidentally paused my music once or twice, but overall using the buds is great.The are comfy, which is extremely important for me, and 3x sets of silicone bits are included to adjust for where required.Cons:I should really say ‘Con’ as there is only one, albeit absolutely glaring issue with these buds, and that’s the design of the charging case. In terms of size and shape I like it, but open it up and I cannot even begin to describe how anti ergonomic this thing is. As you look at it, L and R are swapped over, so you take the left bud out only for it to be upside down and on the wrong side of your body. Also, I find myself having to tap the buds once back in place just to make sure the contacts have met and they are charging – I learnt this was necessary the hard way. I’m really really surprised that so mine designed this, submitted the design, and then this nonsensical case passed various product tests. Very strange. If this was addressed I would enjoy using them even more.All round, give what you’re paying for them, they’re a decent set of buds, I’d probably buy them again assuming they have longevity long term too. I’ll just have to get used to juggling them in and out of the case!

Sent mine back. Sound quality was fantastic, but, I could not hear the vocal. I tinkered around with the equalizer, but to no joy. First random song I played through it was ‘Long hot summer’ by the style council. Paul Weller’s voice is distinctive but I could hardly hear it. I thought it was because of noise cancelling at first, but it was not, having turned it off. I put in a cheap pair of Sony in-ear and suddenly the vocals were back. Maybe this issue can be resolved via the equalizer, I don’t know, but it should not be hard work to get a great sound from them. I was impressed by the use of the Bose name, but that’s misleading as I think that’s just circuitry from Bose for the noise cancelling, but could be wrong, so do your research. The caddy for the ear phones was good though. And after the first use I found one of the rubber parts move/slide around so it was not aligned, and then would not fit back into the carry caddy case. I found that annoying and with the vocals being hardly I decided to just send them back, which was an easy process.

Really loved these Earbuds from the sound quality and especially bass.. the noise cancelling was solid and how they much can be configured through the app and even the charging case that I see mixed reviews on.. but to me just added to the overall feel and quality.Unfortunately after 5 months was just wearing and something didn’t quite feel right, took out the right bud only to see that it had separated in the middle and looking at the quality of the sealing glue etc I was really surprised..Long story short and BIG THANKS TO AMAZON I got a refund and decided to go for something else.. once bitten twice shy.

Skullcandy is the expectation to my ears and what they did
Let me tell you my experiment with these earbuds. I ordered the earbuds. Got them in the mail the next couple of days. I read all the directions on how to get it started. And I noticed that my right earbud was not wanting to charge correctly. The left earbud would charge to 100%.. right earbud only wanted to charge anywhere from 94% to 98% and not 100%.. I charged the complete case with the earbuds in it. Still the right earbud was at 94% and the left earbud was 100%. I decided to wear them for a couple of hours. Well I noticed within 30 minutes my right earbud went from 94 to 60 % when my left ear bud was 92%. I quite didn’t understand what was going on to make the right earbud do what it did. So I got in contact with Skullcandy and they told me that I needed to reset and uninstall the app. So I did everything that they said to do. And still nothing happened. So I returned them. And got to replacement. And let me tell you I’ve had these for a couple of days and they work perfectly fine. They charge correctly. The earbuds are fine The bass in the sound is great. I’ve had other earbuds in the past that were noise canceling. But none of them were the supreme notch on these earbuds. I’ve never Bose earbuds before. But knowing that Bose is the top of the line for their radios that they had back in the days and for their headphones. I would say these are the great . Like when I put these in my ears I can hear what they do to my ears as a noise canceling sucks in the outside and closes it. Some earbuds will say that they have noise canceling but they could be 30% noise canceling 50%. But with these I believe that these are 100% noise canceling to my ears. They are great around the house, being outdoors, and going on vacation. The one thing that I wish that they had done was where I could say hey Alexa and have Alexa interact with me through the earbuds. Now for the color I got back. I wish they had a dark blue or a dark gray. I wish they had a flame one that was fire on the black one with the flame symbols on it. Something about flames and black stand out that I like. For the value of the money on these earbuds. Skullcandy has other earbuds that you can get that are lower in price than what these are. I would have to say for the value of the money of these I would say they do what they do for the price.
