SkullcandyPush ANC Active Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Headphones, Noise Cancelling, 58 Hours Battery, Secure-Fit Over-Ear Hanger, Sweat and Waterproof, Microphone for iPhone Android - Black/Orange

These have great battery life, and great sound. They are a little uncomfortable if you have a daith piercing but other than that these are great over the ear earbuds. The feature that allows you to hear your surroundings while on phone calls is pretty cool as well.

Easy to connect. They are comfortable, battery lasts a long time.

I haven't owned a pair of Skullcandy earbuds that haven't failed within a year. I figured that was just the nature of Bluetooth earbuds, so I bought these when my last Skullcandy earbuds failed. These are ANC and have decent reviews, how bad could they be? The charging case is massive. Despite that, and the claim of 58 hours of battery life, it seems like the case is fully discharged after no more than 20 hours. Once fully discharged, the earbuds (fully charged) won't turn on when removed; they apparently need signs of life from the case. The ANC and sound quality was decent, but the Bluetooth connection quality brought me back to the early Discman days. Remember how it sounded when they were jostled too much and your music would skip? That's what these sound like, only I don't even have to move my head or my phone; sitting perfectly still with the phone 2 feet away causes my music to cut in and out. It's even worse when the phone is in my pocket and I'm walking. It's not an issue with the phone; it pairs just fine to other Bluetooth earbuds/speakers up to 30 feet away. Hopefully I just got a dud, but I'm unfortunately done with Skullcandy.

overall awesome, wearing in an active and noisy environment, light weight and comfortable, sound is crisp and clear, battery life as advertised, app is easy to use, device controls are responsive

These are fantastic. Way better than the apple EarPods I have. The fit is nice and the flexible thingie does hold it in your ear. The sound is just excellent. Very clear bass and treble. The app is easy to use. Well worth the money

This was a gift for my partner, he lives them and uses them every day, the mic works well for calls while on the road

I love the Skullcandy brand. I have a used them for years. For a very long time they were the only brand of headphones I would buy. I was excited to try these. I was left feeling disappointed. I ended up returning them. (Skip to the buttom of the review for why.)My first issue was the case. It's huge! This is not going to be one you can carry in your pocket. I think the added bulk is from the wireless charging coil. Which is a feature I don't/won't use.The earbuds are comfy. I would like to preface, I have weird ears. Finding comfy earbuds, or one that stay is my ear, is hard. These ones are great! I can wear them all day without them hurting my ears. They also stay snuggly in place without me having to adjust them constantly, even while moving around.The earbud itself has a touch control system that is ultra sensitive. If you download the Skullcandy app you can change what the different amount of taps will do. Each earbud can be set independently, which is an awesome feature! Most of the time I will only wear one earbud at a time, so being able to program the controls this way is wonderful!However, the one control you can't change is that 1 tap will play/pause whatever you are listening to. I set 2 taps to be volume up. I did notice that most of the time I tried to raise the volume I ended up pausing instead, or pausing followed by it playing again for the second tap. Other times I tried this it would register one tap but not the second tap. During normal wear I would often times brush past the button (pushing hair behind my ear or the like) and would pause what I was listening to on accident.What I wish Skullcandy would have done is take the aesthetic orange bar on the top of the earbuds and turn it into a physical button. This would have cut down on the accidental control taps.The sound quality of the earbuds is great. I was able to understand my podcasts without issues. The earbuds picked up subtle sounds during videos. The equalizer in the app was great and I liked the presets they had.ANC was terrible. I have noise sensitivity. Being able to cut down on outside noise, even a little is important to me. I could honestly not tell the difference between having ANC on and having it off. It sounded exactly the same.Now for the reason why these headphones are being returned. What I found was that whenever I connect these earbuds to my phone (I have an S24 Ultra) when my screen turns off I'm unable to turn it back on to sign back into my phone. I will press the button and the screen stays black. Pressing the power button twice will normally bring up my camera, but when the headphones are connected, nothing. Eventually, and several panic driven power button presses later, I could get back into my phone. I disconnected the earbuds, turning off my phone screen and back on no issues. I tested this several times and each time the earbuds were connected to my phone I saw the same thing.When I setup the headphones one sure that I ran the firmware update on the earbuds. I wanted to ensure I gave them the best chance possible and firmware updates on any tech is important. This was not an old firmware issue.I did test this on different devices. Worked fine on an iPhone and my android tablet just fine no lag at all. I tested on my partners phone, they have the exact same phone as I do and saw the same behavior.I have a lot of MFA prompts, which are all time sensitive, to my phone due to my job, this is not an something I can have happen. I need to be able to get into my phone quickly, and these earbuds, for whatever reason, would not allow me to.
