SkullcandyMethod 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

Let me start by saying that I've had these headphones for less than a day and they are already my favorite headphones!!! I received them about two hours ago and first put them on the charger but you can imagine my pleasant surprise to see they were already fully charged!Now, on to the good stuff. The sound quality is phenomenal, the bass is EPIC, the noise cancelling is WAY BETTER than I expected, and I love the functionality of the case with the loop! Build quality also seems surprisingly good. Only time will tell regarding battery life and durability but I'll update this post if need be.For comparison, I tested these Skullcandy buds side by side with my Samsung Galaxy Buds (OG), Galaxy Buds FE, Sony WH-1000XM5 (wireless over ear), and Sony MDR-V6 (wired over ear). The sound quality on these destroyed both pairs of Samsung Buds! The Sony's were definitely a different story but the XM5's cost me $400 and the V6 are legendary for their sound. Frankly, these Skullcandy's found themselves in the middle of the pack for sound quality but much closer to the over ears than the other earbuds, which is insanely impressive given the cost! Also, the noise cancelling was unexpectedly great once I fit the proper eartips and wings (large size for me)! Last though, the bass is honestly better than any of my other headphones, wired or wireless and regardless of form factor. Super impressive!I will echo what others have said though; for me, it isn't painfully loud but the voice cues are a bit obnoxious. I could honestly do without them at all. Hopefully they allow us to at least disable them or lower the volume with a firmware/software update. That said, this is nowhere near a dealbreaker for me and does nothing to ruin the magic. Simply put, I LOVE THESE HEADPHONES!!!

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.

First, I'm not a hardcore audiophile. I purchased these as a backup for my Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. I love the Bass and decent midranges along with the nice highs. These buds deliver in spades with a rich sound. My buds 3 pro are fantastic but these Skull Candies are much more suited to my music preferences. I wish I would have purchased these instead of the Buds 3. While the Skull Candies don't have all the bells and whistles of the buds 3, I can live with that. Not to mention, the battery life of the Skull Candies blow away the buds 3. My only dislike is the awkward case. Its way to big but again, I can live with that. Just buy them! At 99.00 they are a bargain
