"the fit of these earbuds is excellent, they stay put in long runs, and in the gym."
"Absolutely! The fins really hit the spot for me and the ergonomic fit too is unreal ngl ... it makes the sound a lot better when it fits perfectly ... even to the earbud ergonomics look EXACTLY the same as the Bose QCUs"
"they do not come off at all and usually I have issues with earbud fit."

"And the ANC is nipping at the heels of the $250-300 QC Ultra."
"ANC is actually pulling some weight — relative to the previous SkullCandy offerings."
"the ANC so far with just being at home is great ... Good enough to block out gym noise for sure!"

"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."
"100% can vouch they are incredible for their price ... they are on sale for an introduction price of $99 dollars and tbh they are 1000% worth it. ... They are also the NEWEST product you could buy that isn’t going to break your wallet while still feeling like you have premium sound"

"It also randomly turns anc mode off and on by itself. ... IT JUST HAPPENED RIGHT NOW THEY TURNED OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES 😭😭😭 these shit suck they turned off and on 5 times these shits are ass don’t get em total waste of money"
"the anc is 30% worse on the skullcandies"
"Note that wind will mess with the ANC or stay aware mode, as they rely on microphones. ... The best solution that I have found is to set it to ANC off when strong wind is present."

"when I first opened and used them it crushed my ear."
"The voice prompts are a couple decibles away from being actually painful. ... Hearing "Battey 80%, bluetooth connected" every time you put them in makes me want to throw them off a bridge, and the volume being almost unbearable makes these almost unusable."
"My biggest complaint is the voice prompt, which is super loud and sounds like the prompts from cheap generic China buds and earphones from 10 years ago. ... Got the update for the voice prompt, but its still bad, only marginally less so."

"as well as the touch controls randomly activating when I’m running ... One thing I’ve noticed with these is that while walking if it’s windy or I turn my head a certain way, go downhill etc , it’s keeps activating the touch controls specifically on left ear. ... I had to completely turn off touch controls on the left bud but I can still hear it randomly being activated."
"I really dislike the button controls, they're so sensitive that a slight breeze can pause your music. ... I have turned off all touch functions aside from volume -/+ and pause to help mitigate this."

"the case is the only downgrade with these imo ... it’s annoyingly and unnecessarily bulky ... it doesn’t shut well and springs open occasionally (which makes the clip-on functionality too risky to actually use) ... placing the earbuds into it can be very finicky"
"The case... is an atrocity. ... The earbuds are hard to take out and they're hard to put in. ... The molds for the earbuds in the case are so shallow that it's difficult to know if they're oriented correctly and don't always magnetize into position. ... It's confusing because when you face the case vertically with the logo facing you the earbuds will be on opposite sides and inverted. ... The magnets holding the earbuds in are also fairly weak; I often have them drop out of the case when opening from the slightest touch."
"Only thing I hate about them is the huge case. ... I only wear 1 ear buds at a time for safety reasons at work. I do work some long double shifts sometimes and need to have the case on me for switching buds."

"I've been experiencing connection problems, particularly with the left earbud, which just disconnects out of nowhere and needs to be plugged into the case for around 10 seconds to reconnect, or just fails to connect outright."

"Keep getting this skipping sound when they re in my pocket at the gym. ... Really annoying."
444988 1.0Huge case and confusing finding which is left or right because of the design, sounds good though.
Good. Just buy em, no explanation or deep analysis. For the price they're good. Not "clear" audio but you wouldn't understand unless you switch between $300+ headphones and the $100 360.
Accurate_Road_6535 1.0The be quite frank they’re just not good at all they sort of feel like standard AirPod pros so nothing new at all. Also I’ve been having so such a hard time actually enjoying them because my earbuds will suddenly change from YouTube to Spotify or stop and start again whilst I’m listening to something. It also randomly turns anc mode off and on by itself. (Not sure if it be because there a little bit of movement in my ear like when I’m chewing or drinking water) IT JUST HAPPENED RIGHT NOW THEY TURNED OFF AND ON BY THEMSELVES 😭😭😭 these shit suck they turned off and on 5 times these shits are ass don’t get em total waste of money
accursedvenom 1.0I haven’t used the methods for long but from what I can tell so far, the sound is very good without having to change the eq. The rails are good as well but I think the methods has a better sound stage and is clearer. I’ve seen some reviews saying the mids and highs seem a little muddy to them but I haven’t seen that yet, if it indeed is that way. The rails can be more muddy sounding depending on what you set your eq to. I like bass in my music but I also like to hear the vocals. The methods are more comfortable to wear even on the first time putting them in. I’m not sure what tips and fins are on them right out of the box but they were a perfect fit instantly. I can’t speak on the battery life of the method yet but if they get the 9-11 hours with anc off, that’s perfect for a work day for me. The rails I think have a little more in the case than the method but both are good.
The rails are good as well but I will say the Method 360s sound better than my rails or grind tws. OP should definitely look into the methods.
AdArtistic4801 1.0They ROCK. A direct upgrade from the Rail ANC.
Affectionate_Try_836 1.0If you can find them for the price, Method 360 ANC. Theyre 99 bucks for a introductory price right now. Earfun Air Pro 4 and OnePlus Buds 3 and Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC are also good contenders.
alexisone01 1.0I got to try them from a classmate last semester and honestly, the noise canceling is pretty decent, especially indoors. It's not the super block-everything kind like Sony or Bose, but it still helps a lot. The touch controls are really sensitive though, so they can accidentally activate when you're adjusting them. As for the sound quality, it’s alright not super bass-heavy, but clear enough for music and classes. I’d say they’re a good pick for the price if you’re not super picky
alexshhmalex 1.0I like the feel, look, and pretty sure the quality of sound is great... However, I think the highs and some mids are lacking and getting muddy. It could be personal preference since I came from Beats Studio Plus Buds and maybe those lean into that more. I just want the vocals and treble to shine thru more! So I just need to fiddle with the EQ or wait for someone more skilled than me to post their EQ changes.
Altruistic-Fun-4625 1.0They are already working on an update that will be pushed out through the app to be able to adjust the volume and even disable it.

Ambereggyolks 1.0If you don't mind the case size, the skull candy method 360s are just rebranded qc ultras with a bulkier case and at a much cheaper price point. I paid $85 for mine, don't know how much they sell for on your side but probably will be about the same.
Ah I didn't realize they were that different since the buds look almost identical except for branding but I guess they had to cut some corners.
I think I figured out the case design. Whoever designed it thought it should be worn on a front belt loop. When you lift it up towards you still on your belt loop, it opens the right way. That's the only way it's made sense to me.
Yeah I use it like that. I was about to send them back but I have been using them and am really starting to like them. I really wish this case was pocketable though or it would at least be nice if they had wireless charging.
Assassin5700_ 1.0I also installed the update and now they aren't turning back on once I take them out of my ear or even when I put them in and out of the case
