Skullcandy has cracked the code on one in every of my most-requested options for wi-fi earbuds. Not like nearly each different pair I’ve owned, dropping the charging case will not ship the earbuds flying throughout the room. For my fellow clumsy people, I am completely happy to report that the Skullcandy Technique 360 ANC (8/10, WIRED Evaluate) are marked down at a number of retailers. I discovered the greatest worth on the white (Bone) pair at Amazon, however among the different colours are discounted too should you do not thoughts paying slightly additional.
Whereas the enclosed case is my favourite factor about these earbuds, additionally they have wonderful energetic noise-canceling. That is largely due to a collaboration with Bose, among the best within the enterprise with regards to ANC, giving these a very spectacular degree of sound isolation and noise discount, significantly for the worth.
The sound profile has clearly taken some notes from Bose as nicely, with our reviewer Parker Corridor saying, “There’s a actual life to this listening expertise within the midrange, with vocals, pianos, guitars, and different center-heavy devices every occupying their very own musical house.” He was additionally impressed by the vast stereo picture, which may give lots of life to panning, and the intricate particulars that stand out when you may have good isolation and tuning.
After all, if you wish to tweak the expertise you need to use the cell app to regulate button performance or change the equalizer profile in your most popular music style. There are noise-canceling and transparency mode settings as nicely, the latter of which works significantly nicely for listening to site visitors whereas strolling the canine.
The draw back right here is that the entire setup is barely cumbersome. The earbuds have a large back-end that sits flush inside your ear, making them a bit extra noticeable than among the different earbuds we like. The case, whereas nice for holding your earbuds in a single place once you knock it off the kitchen counter, can also be on the massive facet and slightly awkward to make use of at first. Nonetheless, for beneath $100, you get wonderful ANC, high quality sound profile, and a snug match, which I believe is nicely definitely worth the worth of admission.
