Skullcandy Push Review - Decent For Budget Truly Wireless Earbuds

2018-12-20
Skullcandy has been pretty busy the second half of 2018 first the released her new school candy venues their first ANC headphones they released her new school candy crush her 360s currently my favorite abase had headphones and now they released their skull candy push their first truly Wireless here but and considering their price point they're not half bad they're a good option for an Android or iPhone user looking to go truly Wireless without having to spend the big bucks but they do bring some compromises but first a word from one of our partners before I started using nor VPN I would never use public Wi-Fi cuz I didn't want to risk having my data exposed which meant any time I traveled or wasn't a dead zone in the city I would have a little to no internet on my phone but now with no one VPNs military-grade encryption I can use public Wi-Fi and know that my dad it is safe from would be hackers nor VPN can do a lot more but this is one of the main reasons I use them so you can enjoy three years of online security for only $2.99 a month by clicking on the link in description down below the new Skullcandy push truly wireless earbuds have a retail price of $130 but on launch day they're already on sale for $100 so take that as you will personally I do hope to Skullcandy push continue to go for $100 cuz there are a lot of other companies starting to put out more truly wireless earbuds add sub hundred all the price points namely Jem jlabbe and anchor and for comparison's sake the Apple earpods have a retail price of $160 but if you want to pick either of these earbuds up I'll have a link so description below and if you use the links it really helps out to channel now like I just mentioned there are a lot of other subhanaw taala truly wireless earbuds out there but I feel the Skullcandy push warrants they're slightly higher price tag because they have a slightly better build and a slightly better user experience over they're more affordable competitors even though my not seem like a big deal to some the pushes charging cases using USB C and seeing USB C on a pair of budget-friendly wireless earbuds is great because if your phone charges with a USB C port you can charge your phone and earbuds with the same cable there is one of the biggest reasons why people love their pot so much even me now the earbuds themselves have an advertised battery life of six hours and the case can supply an additional six hours of battery giving these earbuds a combined the battery life of twelve hours of playback time now a combined battery life of twelve hours isn't amazing compared to other truly wireless earbuds but these earbuds continuous six hours of playback time is because ear pods top out at five hours and most other bargain brands top out at around three hours of playback time and I've noticed that I can go two days in between charges with these ear buds but for comparison when my ear pods were new I could go about four or five days in between charges but now since the battery is on my two-year-old ear pods have the graters officer really I can only go about two days in between charges with them now battery degradation is normal for all electronics but what I do want to point out about these truly wireless earbuds is that they don't have fast charging and not a lot of other truly wireless here buzz besides ear pods have any meaningful fast charging and fast charging for wireless earbuds is very important if you plan on going on long commute with them on a regular basis so just keep that in mind if you plan on picking up a pair of truly wireless earbuds in general now when it comes to the overall to build quality of the case it's decent for a pair of hundred thirty all other wireless earbuds now the only thing I'm worried about concerning this case is accidentally snapping off the lid but other than that I think this carrying case is on par of that of the Sony WF SP 700 N and j-bird run especially since the case magnetically attaches to the earbuds something that Sony's and Jabir's cases don't do and it's one of those small important details you miss when you don't have it anymore but definitely what are the biggest drawbacks of this carrying case is its sheer size it's huge compared to the earpods case and given this size I do wish they've held more than just six additional hours to playback time and now let's get to the ear buds themselves when I first took them out I was reminded of the Sony WF SP 700 n their build quality is decent and I really like how low-profile they are compared to a lot of wireless here but I've mentioned so far now these are in your earbuds and they come with an additional two pairs of silicone ear tips but interestingly enough you don't get any additional orphans and the ear friends on the buzz themselves aren't moveable and personally I wish we could at least remove these your friends I just feel it could get in the way for some people well regardless when it comes to fit these your buds stay in place very well and they produce a very good seal and since they're so lightweight and low-profile they never work allowed but the most important thing the Skullcandy push get right is their bullet-tooth connectivity the rock and bluetooth for to but more importantly their Bluetooth connection is much better than a lot of other truly wireless earbuds I've tested in the past cuz you never get any crackling or stuttering if you move your head from side to side or if your phone's in your pocket or if you cover the master here about it now you might get some stuttering if there's a wall between the earbuds and your phone but it's still very good and these earbuds also have a very little latency when watching videos on your iPhone it's still there but it's much less than most other truly wireless earbuds that orange air pods but unfortunately the Skullcandy push don't have Aptech support which only matters for Android users cuz iPhone insists on still using the AAC codec but I also noticed the Skullcandy push did have a considerable amount of latency when watching videos on my pixel 3 so Android users just be warned but when it comes to sound quality and just be warned easier buds have a lot of bass I think I can confidently say these are some of the bass heavy as well as here but I ever tested the air pods you also have a lot of bass but nowhere near as much as the push and some people might like that and others well even though the bass is fun at times it does tend to overpower the mids a lot but more importantly the highs on these earbuds never crash or get tinny which is good and typically does tend to happen on Cheaper earbuds now one of the things that always drew me away from truly wireless earbuds was the lack of physical media controls you always ended up only having partial media controls and had to rely on your voices system to do the rest which isn't always the most efficient the Skullcandy tried their best to give you full media controls with their new earbuds by having a multi-purpose button on each ear but first I want to say that they know the actuation pressure on these buttons you don't have to press so hard on these buttons to get them to work which means they don't dig into your ear canal the j-bird run deal which is good now you can play or pause your music by pressing once and either your buddy and you can adjust the volume up by double pressing on the right ear bud and if you want to lower the volume you can double press the left your button now a decision as efficient as I like it to be and I found is still easier to adjust your volume directly from your phone but if you want to skip a track you can press and hold on the right ear but for 3 seconds and if you want to restart a track you can press and hold the left ear bud for 3 seconds and if you want to summon your voice assistant you can triple press on either ear but even those gold candy tried their best to bring you physical media controls on they're truly wireless earbuds I still think it's pretty clunky I think it would be better if pressing on either earbud once played or positive music double pressing on the right ear but skip the track double pressing on the left ear bud went back a track doing a press press and hold on the right earbud raise the volume until you released it doing a press press and hold on the left here but lower the volume until you released it and triple pressing on either ear but summing your voice assistant but when it comes to phone calls I think audio quality is pretty good now it's not as good as air pods but it is a little better than even some headphones but just like most of the truly wireless earbuds the phone call is only coming through the master in this case but overall if Skullcandy decides to keep selling their truly wireless earbuds for 100 dollars I think they're a decent buy at that price like I've said in the past I've always shied away from truly relics here but especially for the gym because their battle life wasn't always great their cases were typically pretty clunky connection stability was always an issue you had to give up your online controller but most importantly they were pretty expensive wireless earbuds from big-name companies typically retail for $150 and up that's why I still prefer to just use wired Bluetooth earbuds at the gym they typically cost less than truly Wireless here but they have better connection stability they have longer battery lives with fast charging and they have that all-important in like controller which i think is essential for when you're working out but I do like to use truly wireless earbuds for casual use like ear pods so I can listen a podcast when I'm running errands take phone calls or watch videos with and I think Skullcandy is targeting the casual use market with their wireless earbuds the Skullcandy push all into water or sweat resistant and the own meant to be used at the gym again reinforcing that casual use market and I think those gold candy push are better suited for casual use because unlike the Bose sound sport free the tapered run and Sony WF SP 700 n which are very clunky and cost more the push don't look at a place when you're wearing them at the checkout line at the grocery store they also have a very long continuous playback time of six hours which should easily last most people typically use session the Skullcandy push also have a very above-average microphone on them making them decent for phone calls and son store bluetooth connectivity is very stable and have very little A&C they're decent for watching videos on an iPhone and again remember these are one of the few truly wireless earbuds that charge via a USB C port which just complements your new Android device beautifully if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize support the channel
