Skullcandy - Rail ANC

Hey Lauren! I've been using headphones for almost everyday of my 20 year career as a package delivery driver. I've gone through dozens of models of in-ear technology from wired, the early Jabra units, up this to today's easily accessible consumer Bluetooth tech. I guess my question is how/do you test for extreme conditions or longevity? In my environment I use in-ear headphones for 8-10 hours in rain, cold and 100+ degrees heat so durability is a key feature and I imagine difficult to test for in your position. For the record, I'm currently a fan of Skullcandy's Rail ANCs and I have 3 pairs of them in my backpack. They tend to last a full day's work for me and stand up to my environment.

Love 'em. The base really surprised me. ANC is better then my previous skullcandy rail ANC. Somehow I feel like these fits better in my ear as well. Really good product. I highly recommend them.

I just sent my rail anc in for a warranty cliam. I was thinking if getting the method 360. Can you give me any information on which you like better and why?

The skull candy Rail anc might work but if u really want Bass even though you want skull candy, you might want to try the CMF buds pro 1 and 2 have better bass than the Skull candy Rail Anc in my opinion

alot of earbud subreddits are filled with people having problems this subreddit no difference i had issues with my right rail anc earbud but that didnt make me hate all my skull candy products

I currently use Skullcandy ANC Rail in-ear buds. Amazon has them on sale right now I see. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPP1DBRL/ref=pe\_386300\_440135490\_TE\_simp\_item\_image?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPP1DBRL/ref=pe_386300_440135490_TE_simp_item_image?th=1)

If you ONLY use with your phone or don’t switch the device you’re using often, I don’t think you would miss them. I do love how easy it is to swap AirPods or beats from iPhone to iPad to Apple TV if needed. I use the regular AirPods 4 daily but I also use B&O EQ and Denon PerL quite often. They do sound different but nothing crazy. It really is hard to beat AirPods Pro as a jack of all trades. I am also impressed with the Skullcandy Rail ANC for the price. The B&O EQ and the Skullcandy offer multipoint pairing which is really nice to have. Last thing I’ll say is that AirPods and beats have the nice feature where it will readout your messages to you as they come in if you just have them in and not listening to anything.

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.

You have a point there. I don't usually use ANC. The only time I have is if I'm in a car while its running and the AC is blowing straight at me or if it comes on automatically when I put any given pair of earbuds on. My rails default to ANC if I put them both on straight out of the case. Can't remember if my grinds and methods do that as well. I put them on stay aware instantly if they do. Edit: Soundcore is underrated IMO. I had a pair of Q45s that were insane. Gave them to my daughter and she loves them to.

The indy evo was pretty good depends on your phone if you have eq built in you can def tune these a tad I recommend their collab for sure or the rails is ok def a upgrade or if you can find the indy ancs for a good price

I'm a bass zealot and my top picks would be the Skullcandy Rail (best bang for buck), Bose QuietComfort Ultra w/bass boost mode (serious splurge but worth it), and Devialet Gemini II (if you have fuck-you money).

Skullcandy rail, skullcandy are the only brand that doesn't hurt my ears seems like
