Skullcandy Method 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 INVESTIGATE reviews on products before a silly little impulse buy and the majority was positive feedback so i was indeed influenced by the masses. i use an iphone and airpod pro 2’s consistently, mainly for the ANC features, plus airpods were built for iphone so no brainer. but i am also very picky about how music sounds in earphones/airpods/cars/ect… and i was honestly disappointed in apple for sound quality of music and lack of customization in that regard for the airpod pros. okay, enough backstory yap from me.these earbuds are honestly great, especially for price point and all of the customization options within the app. Functionality:i wouldnt say the sound quality is as good as im sure the $300+ earbuds from other name brands (i also wouldnt know for sure though because im not about to drop that kinda money on earbuds) BUT I THINK the sound quality is better than the airpod pros. AND the active noise cancelling is also very good.Ear support:ear fit has been a step up from the airpod pros, i move around a lot in REAL funky humidity for work and have not had them fall out, and i have had issues with that with the airpod pros.Ease of use:i was kinda worried about pairing with the iphone because with the airpods its seamless, but i havent had any real issues with pairing that was not immediately solved by just putting the earbuds back in the case and taking them out again. the only other thing i would mention is that when you switch through the hearing modes or equalizer modes in the app or through earbud taps it is announced in the earbuds to which mode you are switching to. i was unaware of this feature, i dont think you can turn it off because i have tried searching for an option to and have not been successful.

I love these earbuds! i love that there different sizes of ear tips and 2 sizes for the outer earbud that sits just inside the ears. I have been an Airpod user since I have an iPhone so being able to say "Hey Siri" while I have my Airpods in is nice, but the sound quality and fit for these Skullcandy's make up for that! I have used a pair of Skullcandy Smokin' Buds for my backup and love those as well. Lastly, the case is neat, I like that it has a built in, snap on, key ring type clip.

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.

So far I have enjoyed the skullcandy products, when I saw these on sale on Prime Day.I have try them out and what I can say they are so far the best ear buds.One small note on the ear buds themselves they are very sensitive with touch and will pause numerous times.Best to either have one ear bud on, or if you don't go anywhere to have both ear buds on.

As an earbuds aficionado, admittedly I was skeptical. I own many pairs, to say the least. I love music. Using these during workouts at the gym, my skepticism dissolved. Fit is perfect with the pre-installed ear pads. Nothing came loose or fell out, as do some others. Acoustics were absolutely outstanding. Could hear every nuanced note and lyric. ANC was better than most, shutting out gym noise distractions, especially that lousy excuse for what the gym channel calls music. I’ll likely buy another pair in a different color. It’s money well spent.👍👍🏾👏🏻

Best ear buds I have EVER put in my ear!!! Finally, something that isn't a circle! The piece that goes in your ear is oval and fits so nicely in your ear! I can shake my head like a lunatic and the ear bud stays in my ear! And the sound quality is amazing! Bose is still THE BEST sound quality of any other sound systems, period!
