Skullcandy has cracked the code on certainly one 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 a number of the different colours are discounted too for those who do not thoughts paying a bit of further.
Whereas the enclosed case is my favourite factor about these earbuds, in addition they have wonderful lively noise-canceling. That is largely because of a collaboration with Bose, the most effective within the enterprise in terms of ANC, giving these a very spectacular stage of sound isolation and noise discount, notably for the value.
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 area.” He was additionally impressed by the huge stereo picture, which can provide a whole lot of life to panning, and the intricate particulars that stand out when you might have good isolation and tuning.
After all, if you wish to tweak the expertise you should use the cell app to regulate button performance or change the equalizer profile to your most popular music style. There are noise-canceling and transparency mode settings as nicely, the latter of which works notably nicely 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 number of the different earbuds we like. The case, whereas nice for holding your earbuds in a single place whenever you knock it off the kitchen counter, can also be on the big aspect and a bit of awkward to make use of at first. Nonetheless, for below $100, you get wonderful ANC, high quality sound profile, and a snug match, which I believe is nicely definitely worth the worth of admission.
