Skullcandy Push Active True Wireless in-Ear Bluetooth Earbud Use with iPhone and Android with Charging Case and Mic

These are some of the best earbuds I've ever used, though admittedly I'm of simple taste. I do a lot of physical work in my day to day, take a lot of calls, and use my phone a lot, so what I primarily need are earbuds that connect and disconnect to my phone quickly, hold a charge for a long time, stay in my ears and block out sound. These deliver. These buds paired with my phone instantly and with no problems whatsoever. Previous Skullcandy models I'd tried required an arcane process of pairing both headphones individually in sequence that resulted in one or more disconnecting randomly throughout the day. These fortunately read consistently as a single device, disconnect when put in the case and reconnect when it's opened. I sound like I'm describing the bare minimum in functionality but some models of earbuds can't even achieve this, so I'm glad these have been entirely painless for the time I've had them. The biggest problem I have with these is difficulty reconnecting when I accidentally leave them somewhere and walk out of range, but putting them back in the case and taking them back out instantly re-pairs them, pardon the pun. As far as quality goes, I'm no audiophile, but music and podcasts sound good. Much of the quality, as well as the noise 'cancellation', is contingent on them being all the way in your ears, and if you pull them out to hear someone talk they become quiet and tinny. That said, they provide a good seal while in the ear- and for my purposes, a set of impromptu 'earplugs' against pretty loud ambient noise, making blaring security alarms and unmuffled engines into tolerable dull roars. I will say that the mic quality is pretty poor, as is to be expected from earbud mics, but it's serviceable for quick work calls- maybe not so much group calls with a lot of emoting and crosstalk. Where these really win is battery life. I sometimes spend the entire day wearing these- not necessarily listening to them, but they're comfortable enough that I forget that I have them in at times. I've yet to hear a battery warning below around 50%, and after a couple of hours in the case they're good for another full day of operation, even without having charged the case for a week or more. Overall, my main concern is value. I could pay considerably more in brand name upsell for what are overall marginal improvements and niche features, but for less than $100 I have tough, functional headphones with good sound quality and an eternity of battery life. Woe betide me when they discontinue these. Read more

I've always felt that Skullcandy has had a pretty good track record in getting what you pay for, especially with the 1 year warranty they have on their products. I bought these in 2021 and within 9 months they started to fail. Using the warranty, I ordered a replacement just to see if I had some bad luck. I've since used them for the past 4 years and have a great experience with them. Unfortunately in the last few months they have begun to fall apart and fail to charge. I never used them too harshly, however I did use them almost everyday. I only wish they had better longevity and that is the only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars. Read more

I was a bit skeptical at first but my son mentioned that his experience with Skullcandy had been positive in the past. I decided to purchase this set and lo and behold I couldn't be happier. The noise cancellation is fantastic. The sound quality is equal to none but the best feature in my opinion is the life of the battery. It seems like mine go on for hours at a time and when they need to be recharged I just drop them in the case and they are ready to go next time I need them. I have only had to charge the case twice in the last 3 to 4 weeks or so. I highly recommend these to anyone who is looking for earbuds that cancel most of the noise, have great sound quality, and never seem to run out of battery. I am so glad that I listened to my son!

This review will look strange being 1 star seeing as I'm about to say some very positive things about it, but I will open up with the worst part of these headphones just to get the reason it is 1 star out of the way. The control buttons. They are firm in a way that isn't offensive but I would prefer a softer press to activate, I wouldn't even knock a point off for this though. The problem is explicitly, that by default, the buttons do nothing. In order to map them you need to download an app which is pretty normal. However, downloading the app isn't enough, the app wants to phone home and connect to the internet and register your headphones before you can even use the buttons or configure them. The app will crash and refuse to load until you let it do this. Once this is done you can uninstall the app and your configurations are saved to the headphones. The big problem with this means that you literally cannot configure your headphones if you don't have an active network connection or if you have spotty signal. On top of this, the desktop app does not support any way to configure them. It also means, when skullcandy gets tired of supporting this device and take down their webserver for this app you will lose the ability to configure the device. Better yet, if they ever want to make configuring it a premium feature you have to pay a subscription for they can do so, since there is no local offline way to configure it. It may sound like I'm over reacting about this but its very intentionally designed to crash the app the moment network is lost. I also found this device trying to make GPS location and microphone calls so they are just trying to take as much data as possible if you want the privilege of having functional buttons on the device. I tested it in a variety of scenarios on 5 different android devices over the course of an hour to verify this wasn't device specific nonsense they were pulling. On principal I highly suggest nobody buy these which is going to sound strange given the rest of the positives that I will now go over. These are some of the best sounding earbuds with a really neutral tone, nothing is muddy or lost in playback which is wonderful. They have a very comfortable fit and the ear hooks keep everything very stable while running without putting too much clamping pressure on your skin. The case unfortunately is pretty cheap and as per usual their slightly tacky logo ruins what could be a much cleaner look but people buy these for function or brand recognition more than style anyways. If the case is shaken too much the headphones can wake up and auto connect to a device you don't intend it to but by putting some felt in the top of the case it helps keep them pressed down into their charging pins to prevent this. It seems like a massive oversight that this needs to be a mod from an end user instead of considered in the design of high end earbuds. It is a shame that what I would consider to be some of the best neutral sounding ear buds on the market right now are weighed down by the worlds worst decisions for managing its settings. A simple update to the app or even a 3rd party local app to configure the buttons would resolve the reason this is 1 star. The quality of sound and the comfort of the design easily outweigh the minor issues with the case quality but on principal I won't be purchasing skullcandy devices until they figure out how to make better software.
