Skullcandy Method 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

Good product.. great sound

Back at It I was trying these buds in comparison to the Sony WF1000XM6 and I was surprised by many of their aspects. I will thoroughly describe those. Case, portability and design: Well, if you've seen the pictures, the case is not really the definition of portable. It is supposed to be attached to a backpack or a purse, so it is made with a latch on top. It is not very pocketable, but might still slide in your back pockets, if you don't mind the bulging. They will not fit into a jeans money pocket. The design of the buds themselves is interesting. They mimic the large stem bud stile of Bose QC earbuds and have basically the same shape and size. They have fins for stability and display the Skull logo on the back. They definitely look very good, but maybe they are more for the youth. The case slides upwards with the buds inserted upside-down, so it might be difficult the first times to know which way is which. Still very different and anticomformistic. 8/10 Comfort: since they mimic the Bose's style of earbuds those are very comfortable. It still, always depends on ear shape, but the fins help stabilize the fit and the silicon eartips do not press much on the sides of the ear canal. 9/10 Connectivity: they boast multipoint and 5.3, SBC and AAC codec. The lack of any Hi-Res codec is a shame considering their price and the fact that Soundcore puts LDAC basically everywhere. Sound tho, is very much the same anyway and audiophiles will not like these. It's not really a problem. Connection is stable. 8/10 App: the new Skullcandy app allows you to fully customize controls, EQ them (5 bands), activate Low Latency mode, see battery life etc. The app is minimalistic and has no smart features, but does it's job and is not buggy. Although you cannot directly customize call controls. 7.5/10 Call quality: in extremely loud environments, these might struggle with noise rejection and reject your own voice. Tho, unless you are in a concert, they have one of the best call quality in this range, comparable to Liberty 4 pro. 9/10 Noise cancelling and transparency: the fins help them obtain a better seal and the eartips contribute to isolation. The ANC unit can easily reduce loudness by a total of 82-83% in low frequencies (around 28dB less). You might still hear voices and high impact acute sounds, but it's to be expected at this price. Transparency was improved by an update and it works really well. They do a good job in amplifying voices and I would rate them fairly well while driving. The transparency is natural and never really bloated. Your voice, tho, sounds bloated. (9/10) Sound quality: hear me out, these are the best sounding earbuds imo, even better than XM6. Now I know this might seem dumb. The Method 360 ANC have a very bass forward profile and high-mids treble focused response, so they might sound closed with the music preset. I find these to have one of the most open soundstages on the market, remarkably better than Sony WF1000XM6. They immerse you in sound and can sound very accurate with EQ. I suggest an EQ like -4 , -3, +2, -1, +3 and you will get a very mid forward sound, with good instrument separation and an incredibly open soundstage, without compromising bass response, just reducing the bloat. The sound is tuned by Bose, and it shows in the highs. 9.5/10. I suggest buying these as a daily driver as they have very similar performance as the Bose QC ultra 2gen earbuds, for 1/3 of the price. Overall 8.4/10 Very good for Skullcandy, not so much for premium competitors. Cya

Let me tell you my experiment with these earbuds. I ordered the earbuds. Got them in the mail the next couple of days. I read all the directions on how to get it started. And I noticed that my right earbud was not wanting to charge correctly. The left earbud would charge to 100%.. right earbud only wanted to charge anywhere from 94% to 98% and not 100%.. I charged the complete case with the earbuds in it. Still the right earbud was at 94% and the left earbud was 100%. I decided to wear them for a couple of hours. Well I noticed within 30 minutes my right earbud went from 94 to 60 % when my left ear bud was 92%. I quite didn't understand what was going on to make the right earbud do what it did. So I got in contact with Skullcandy and they told me that I needed to reset and uninstall the app. So I did everything that they said to do. And still nothing happened. So I returned them. And got to replacement. And let me tell you I've had these for a couple of days and they work perfectly fine. They charge correctly. The earbuds are fine The bass in the sound is great. I've had other earbuds in the past that were noise canceling. But none of them were the supreme notch on these earbuds. I've never Bose earbuds before. But knowing that Bose is the top of the line for their radios that they had back in the days and for their headphones. I would say these are the great . Like when I put these in my ears I can hear what they do to my ears as a noise canceling sucks in the outside and closes it. Some earbuds will say that they have noise canceling but they could be 30% noise canceling 50%. But with these I believe that these are 100% noise canceling to my ears. They are great around the house, being outdoors, and going on vacation. The one thing that I wish that they had done was where I could say hey Alexa and have Alexa interact with me through the earbuds. Now for the color I got back. I wish they had a dark blue or a dark gray. I wish they had a flame one that was fire on the black one with the flame symbols on it. Something about flames and black stand out that I like. For the value of the money on these earbuds. Skullcandy has other earbuds that you can get that are lower in price than what these are. I would have to say for the value of the money of these I would say they do what they do for the price.

Strong bass… It will not disappoint u if u are Bose fans.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von den Skullcandy Method 360! Der Sound ist für In-Ear-Kopfhörer in dieser Preisklasse wirklich stark – kräftige Bässe, klare Höhen und insgesamt ein sehr ausgewogenes Klangbild. Egal ob beim Sport, unterwegs oder einfach zu Hause, die Musik macht richtig Spaß. Besonders positiv ist der Tragekomfort: Die Kopfhörer sitzen sicher im Ohr und fallen auch beim Joggen oder Training nicht heraus. Das Nackenband ist leicht, flexibel und stört überhaupt nicht. Die Akkulaufzeit ist ebenfalls top und reicht problemlos für mehrere Tage Nutzung. Auch die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und robust. Die Bluetooth-Verbindung ist stabil und die Bedienung über die Tasten funktioniert einwandfrei. Fazit: Klare Kaufempfehlung! Für diesen Preis bekommt man sehr gute Klangqualität, hohen Komfort und zuverlässige Technik. Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen. 👍🎧
