Skullcandy has cracked the code on one among my most-requested options for wi-fi earbuds. Not like virtually 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 Methodology 360 ANC (8/10, WIRED Assessment) are marked down at a number of retailers. I discovered the very best worth on the white (Bone) pair at Amazon, however a few of the different colours are discounted too when you do not thoughts paying somewhat additional.
Whereas the enclosed case is my favourite factor about these earbuds, in addition they have wonderful lively noise-canceling. That is largely due to a collaboration with Bose, the most effective within the enterprise in terms of ANC, giving these a very spectacular degree of sound isolation and noise discount, significantly for the value.
The sound profile has clearly taken some notes from Bose as properly, 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 can provide plenty of life to panning, and the intricate particulars that stand out when you have got 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 to your most well-liked music style. There are noise-canceling and transparency mode settings as properly, the latter of which works significantly properly for listening to 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 a few of the different earbuds we like. The case, whereas nice for conserving your earbuds in a single place while you knock it off the kitchen counter, can also be on the big facet and somewhat awkward to make use of at first. Nonetheless, for below $100, you get wonderful ANC, high quality sound profile, and a cushty match, which I believe is properly well worth the worth of admission.
