Bluetooth version: 5.0 (supports SBC; no aptX or AAC)
Release Date: debuted May 20, 2020
Water/Dust Rating: IP55 (resistant to sweat, dust, light water)
Battery Life: earbuds ~6 hrs per charge; case adds ~24 hrs; ~10 min quick charge = ~2 hrs playback
Sound Profile: Bass-forward tuning; mid and treble ranges are subdued—overall "dark" or muffled
Bass: Rich and punchy—appeals to hip-hop/EDM listeners
Clarity: Mids and highs lack detail; vocals/instruments may seem recessed
Noise Isolation: Moderate—mid/high frequencies blocked well; bass-range engine noise may filter through
Fit: Generally secure; stability wings help, but can feel uncomfortable to some
Controls: Touch-based on both buds—play/pause, volume, ambient mode, voice assistant, EQ presets
Build Quality: Robust plastic construction with IP55 rating; case is solid though earbud fit in case may be tight
Tile Integration: Built-in tracking via Skullcandy app for locating misplaced earbuds
Call Quality & Connectivity
Call Performance: Average—good in quiet environments; struggles amid noise
Pairing & Reliability: Mixed reports—some experience occasional one-side disconnections or pairing issues
Range: ~30 ft in ideal settings
Amazon: Many praise battery life and build quality, but others report inconsistency in fit, charging, and connectivity
Best Buy: Reviewers note great value and solid sound for price (~$70)—"favorite headphones under $100"
SoundGuys: Rated 6.7/10—praised for durability and Tile support, but criticized for comfort, controls, and unimpressive sound beyond bass
Reddit: Fans appreciate fit, sound quality for casual use, especially during exercise
Best For:
Those seeking workout-ready earbuds with IP55 protection and reliable fit
Bass lovers who prioritize punchy low end
People wanting built-in Tile tracking and quick charging
Drawbacks:
Bass-heavy tuning may drown out mids/highs
Shorter battery life per charge than advertised
Fit and touch control feedback can be hit or miss
Connectivity can be flaky in some units
Overall: They're a solid mid-range option (~$70-$80). If you prioritize ruggedness, quick charging, and Tile tracking, they're a good pick. But if you want balanced sound, reliable connectivity, or extended battery life, consider alternatives like Jabra Elite 3, JLab Epic Air Sport ANC, or Skullcandy Indy ANC .
