Skullcandy - Method ANC

I 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.

If 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.

Technics AZ100 - Just over a month, I adore them. Method 360 ANC - A couple of weeks, I like them quite a lot!

They sound fine. They don’t sound good. Nowhere near great. The Method 360 ANC curb stomp them.

There just not good sounding. You can get them to be serviceable after all that work, but they’re not even Method 360 good, let alone any good in their price range.

Not the case for me. They still sound artificial and shrill. Method 360’s? They work insanely well out of the box.

I bought mine about 2 weeks ago, heres my verdict The method 360 anc is definitely worth the hype imo, it has exceptionally good base with clear subbass as with impressive clarity for the price. The soundstage is also not bad considering bluetooth earbuds usually arent that great in this area. The in ear detection is almost as good as in airpods pro,which surpised me the most. The earfit is pretty much the same as the bose qc ultras,so long sessions do make it uncomfortable to wear and in terms of anc it is definitely not as good as the flagship earbuds but for a mid tier earbud it does the job. The transparency mode is surpisingly good, better than most mid tier earbuds like the nothing ear ie. Altho this earbud does lack quite a but of mids clarity which makes this sound very v shaped. If your into a balanced sound profile, this earbud might not be for you. However for bassheads(like myself) this is probably one of the best picks out there. The Bose partnership definitely shines here. The battery life is also quite decent. I dont use anc, and i get around 9 to 10 hours of battery life. Calls do reduce the battery life quite a bit but so do most other earbuds. The mic is also quite impressive for the price, With noise reduction thats almost on par with airpods pros. The case however is quite big, altho having the carabiner is a nice feature its still quite long and thick compared to most other earbuds cases. No wireless charging as well. In terms of connectivity, the bluetooth distance is as advertised and it only supports AAC codec unfortunately. The gaming mode however doesnt seem to be working that well,im not sure if its a firmware issue, because the latency is was very noticeable especially on my pc. I wont reccomend you play any fps games on these. Oh and the controls i found to be quite basic with the single,double, triple and tap hold. They work consistently as well, i did however see alot of people complain about the sound prompt being too loud, idont seem to be having this issue. Its seems the latest firmware update fixed it. Overall id give it 8/10
