Awesome headphones really love the Bose collaboration

I own 2 sets of newer BOSE & these are better. Has EQ ANC☆☆☆☆☆

Sleek design, I really liked this one before the music started cutting out. I am thinking of returning it now.

For the price, they do well. Case is odd, but workable.

These earbuds are a good price for what you get. I recommend them.

I like how you can customize the sound but in ear sensors are buggy and the ANC is not as strong as I would like. The noise canceling is better with it not on the battery of the case also dies fast.

The earbuds are fine and the ANC is decent. The case, however, is horrible. My biggest problem with it is there no way to tell the right earbud from the left in dim lighting. This is a real shame as the earbuds are very competitive for the price point.

anything by skull candy is a 10/10, W purchase :) !!

Bose and ☠️ candies together what more could you want.

I was expected to hear some bose quality sound but it did not have what I expected

I’m a big fan of the Skull Candy brand. And i was excited for the collaboration with Bose. I expected better. I wasn’t impressed and returned this item.

Not too great in noise canceling. Callers said they could still hear background noise.

Not good if you wanna talk on but music playback is a ten

I had not purchased a Skullcandy headphones set in many years, knowing them as a good but lower and headphone brand. I have been looking for higher quality, more reliable headsets, which work both with my Apple and android phones. Most recently I have been using the over the ear beats, but I find the case, large and reliability inconsistent, especially in regards to charging and unilateral use. I have been looking for a quality headset that was better than the inexpensive brands but not as expensive as two to $300 brands. The Skullcandy ANC headset says the sound is provided by Bose.I have an older. I have an older but still excellent pair of Bose over the ear noise canceling headsets and was pleasantly surprised that the noise canceling in both the awareness mode and the normal mode are excellent and these earplugs. The earplugs are also shaped in such a way that I am able to use them on the climber without them falling out, which is not my experience with other earbud types. The degree of noise canceling of course it’s less than an over. The ear sat, but still very helpful other earbud types. They degree of noise canceling of course it’s less than an over the ear set but still very helpful in loud environments. The app Is a bit busy but does provide full control and customization allowing you to program the number of finger taps for various functions. There is also availability for equalization which I found unnecessary with most types of music. The microphone is also fairly good. The charging life seems to be excellent. The case design is also excellent with a translucent cover, which allows the headphones to say, securely in place with magnets and allows you to visualize the light On the earbud without opening the case. The case slides open rather than a clamshell, and the case is elongated and has a strap which makes it more convenient to carry in a pocket or in a messenger bag. Overall, I am pleased, and these earbuds will now be my primary pair for exercise!

These earbuds have been very comfortable after several hours of use, which is a very important test for me, as I'm prone to ear aches. There are half a dozen extra gel pads so you can get the right fit for your ears. The pairing was flawless. The power on design is simple, just remove them from the case. The first pairing takes just a few seconds press/hold and the buds appeared ‘ready to pair’ every time,  whether I was using my laptop or my cell phone. Note you need to pair them with your phone first. Later you can connect them in the SkullCandy app. Be sure to use the newer Skull IQ app, not the old SkullCandy app.   I really appreciated the very special charging case that has been designed for these buds. They snap into place magnetically. The case is a cut above in that it is not only sturdy but it has a very functional sliding design including a keyring to hook to either my backpack; or some folks may use as a keychain. A tiip of the cap to the Skullcandy design engineers.  The sound is robust with plenty of bass and is crisp and clear both for music and cell phone calls. I have used many earbuds, these have the most vibrant sound and they also have a very good noise cancelling function. The Skull IQ app is where you can alter equalizer settings and other useful features like Hearing Modes which includes a very important 'Stay Aware' function. The app is well thought out, it also provides you a lot of useful product information. The charge time was as advertised and I am pleased with these buds as to functionality and sound. I would highly recommend them.

Horrible time connecting drops connection when paired right head phone wont connect anymore i have reset phone and headphones and still have the same problem and this is on a S24 would not recommend these to anyone stay clear

I was super excited to get these earbuds. And the only headphones I get are Skullcandy, but these were kind of disappointing. I use these at work and only use one bud at a time and it doesnt even last until lunch! I had to send it in for warranty. Hopefully they fix the issue! Battery life isnt great! coming from the Rail ANCs.

Earbuds hurt no matter the size, right bud won't charge, no wind noise cancelling feature, runs out out battery to quick.

When I first took the headphones out of the charger case I dropped them. You have to be careful pulling them out of the case and putting them back in. If you've had airpods before you would know it does not matter how you orient them, they will eventually be pulled in the right direction and sit inside the case correctly. For these that's not the case so just be more careful. These came charged so I was able to test them right away. I did have to glance at the manual on how to pair them. I thought I could just do it myself, but you have to be pay attention to the lights these give off. Also, when you put them in your ears, they will say pairing mode so that is another indication. The first time I put them in my ears I did not hear that. The voice that gives you feedback is nearly twice as loud as your music. It is the voice that will say things like "pairing mode," "disconnected" or "noise cancelling mode." I do feel like they need to quieten the voice a lot. They also recommend downloading two companion applications. Skullcandy and Skull-IQ. As of this writing the Skullcandy application does not recognize the headphones. This is fine because the Skull-IQ app does, and you are able to do a variety of features with it. You are able to tap the buds for them to do features just like most other earbuds. However, the tap does not always work, so I usually slide my finger down them. So for example if I'm doing a double tap I'll slide my finger down the earbuds twice really quick. It's also gentler on my ears to do it this way. At the top of the companion app it shows the battery. You can also tap on that section to see if there is a firmware update. The next section is the hearing mode page. ANC On, ANC Off & Stay Aware. The noise cancelling seems to be powered by Bose. For $100 headphones these are what you expect. Not the best noise cancelling but pretty good. These modes can be cycled through by tapping on the headphones. There is an intensity level slider which can adjust the amount of "Noise Cancelling" or "Stay Aware" that affects the buds. Equalizer page just has set presets and these are the options: music, bass boost, podcast & custom. Skullcandy is known for their bass so that is the one I picked. I have to say, it has not disappointed. On the button settings page I changed the mapping a lot. I removed the ability to turn off ANC. I removed the Spotify tap feature. You can program the left and right headphones to their own controls. For example, double tapping my left earbud will go the previous track. This was not the default. There is a single tap which I have programmed to pause/play. There is also a triple tap and one second hold. These taps can change volume, take a photo, activate your phone's assistant and answer calls. Note: The custom programming for this got reset once without my intervention and I'm not sure how. The Spotify tap feature will cycle through your most recent collections you've listened to. Recent albums, liked songs, playlists, etc. Essentially the music at the at top of your app. This is a feature I have off. I usually just listen to my liked songs anyway. There are a few features I have not tried like multipoint pairing or low latency audio. I'm not planning on using these with more than one device or gaming with these. But it's cool that these could be your all in one headphone device. I've never been someone who likes in-ear headphones. These did not change that for me. Although I will get a use out of these, I would never use these for long term usage. If I need to wear headphones for a long time I will use over-the-ear or air pods. They are more comfortable. These do fit snug. You do not need to worry about these falling out of your ear if you have the right size tip on. In my opinion the charging case is a little big. There is a clip loop on it so you can attach it to your bag, your pant's loop or something else. I always put my airpods case in a pocket and this case doesn't always fit the same pockets I've been using. The website advertises over 30+ hours of ANC on. I think they could've sacrificed some playtime for a case that isn't 4 times as large as competitors. Here is where I'm going to need to take away one star. I get connectivity issues. Sometimes I put in the headphones and only one plays music. Then I have to put them both back in the case and then pull them out. Have had to do that a dozen times already. Sometimes one bud will have a static noise playing. So I will have to put them both back in the case and pull them out. Here is the most annoying bit. It has happened to me twice where I kept trying to get the one bud to play music. I put it in the case and pulled it out of the case. The bud does not even make an audible tone. I followed the instructions they recommended. So I tried disconnecting and reconnecting. Only one bud works still. I tried these steps multiple times and I read the sheet, it says you can hold on the buds for 6 seconds to do a factory reset/clear paired device list. It will also put it in pairing mode. That worked but it's insane the amount of times it just does not work. It makes me wonder too, I know that trick now, but what if I took these headphones on a plane and did not know about that trick. The app is not helpful because it loads a website of a guide, not a guide that can be built into the app. Maybe the connectivity would be better if I was an android user? They got all these features, some cool, some gimmicks but at the end of the day, I need headphones that work 100% of the time whenever I'm taking them out of the case. As is it right now, it's maybe a 90% chance they will work normal. These are something I can still recommend to people. There is a possibility these get better with a firmware update. However, at this moment, if you're planning a run, or a workout you need to factor in a couple extra minutes before, because you might have to fully disconnect these and repair them before you start. I would recommend not putting these back into the case if you're talking to someone, or leaving them out of your ears for too long, because they will get weird on you. Then you'll have to spend another couple minutes repairing...

Voice is garbled on phone calls. Several people I have called complain about voice garbled and can't understand what I say.
