Skullcandy - Smokin' Buds True Wireless

I got some from them years ago as well because I was worried about them falling out. They’ve been fantastic. Having that pass thru sound so you can hear what’s going on outside is really nice.

I triple tap the right ear and it turns a “be aware” feature on and off. The model it says on the inside of the charge case is gasport2. 202-jkm106

The Method 360 ANCs are what I got today and I've mainly used SkullCandy products for headphones for a few years now. I was intrigued with the Smokin' Buds, and the Dime Evos left more to be desired and we're kinda underwhelming with the sound quality being not the best and the Stay-Aware mode not staying on for me. The Smokin' Buds I got for $10 at a Walgreens and they were alright for the price, but still a $10 set of earphones. The Dime Evos were $70 and for the price I expected a little more, I definitely still preferred the Smokin' Buds if I just wanted good sound quality but if I was travelling the charging speed and charge hold on the Dime Evos made them my preference for not being at the house. With the Method 360 ANCs, I find them to be a good mix of both of my previous sets. Good sound quality and charging capabilities, Stay-Aware mode actually stays on, the Active Noise Cancellation is fairly good as well. Now if you don't have something playing in the speakers it sounds like the people around you are talking through a landline phone, very quiet and mostly treble, but with something playing you can't hear anything. The gel inserts and fit fins that come with them helped me with one problem I've always had, and that's keeping the left earphone actually in my ear. I'd say for the price range at about $98 and some change before tax at Walmart, they would be a good set. The only thing I'd say kinda lessens the deal is the fact that they have sensors on them, so when you take one earphone out of your ear, even if both are connected, the music pauses. There are other options as well if you wanna drop a little more money on a set of Crusher Headphones for sound quality but IMO that's about all I would want to get out of them. But I am fairly surprised with the Methods, even if they are a reskinned Bose QC.

Got a cheap Skull Candy Smokin' Buds for like 20 bucks. I don't wanna pair my Samsung ones that I use with my phone, but the Skull Candy is surprisingly good, doesn't have amazing bass, but it's more than enough for me.

I know people might not like this comment, but I have a pair of Sennheiser momentum 2s I use occasionally, and a pair of Skullcandy smokin buds I use exclusively for work teleconferences, and really find the Skullcandy to be way more comfortable. I haven't ever used them for music but I'd be interested in trying another pair of SCs because of it.

skull candy smokin buds i bought on takealot for like R300, 1 year later still great

Skull candy smokin’ buds great noise cancellation and a good mic with easy controls
