Normally my reviews are very short and to the point however this one's going to be a little bit longer. I didn't think that these would actually be worth it but in fact they are. There are extremely many features that are missing on very expensive earbuds. And I'm talking the big brands...
First I'll tell you that when you do set up with the app a hearing test it actually does work it helps greatly especially if ones hearing isn't what it used to be. Secondly, as with most, you can set your equalizer to your own personal settings if you want to. The sound, or music, actually doesn't sound awful again I was a bit surprised. Now another thing that is usually a problem for me just keeping my buds in my ears at all times. Well please actually stay in perfectly and they don't hurt one bit and that's using them for at least 9 hours in a row without taking them out. The battery life as far as I know it looks like it might be pretty good unfortunately I haven't given it enough time to judge that but by the usage I have had with the buds they seem to hold up relatively well with ambient on. Basically I'm very satisfied with these I will keep them and hope that they do keep them updated as they should when needed.
Now one con is the app is a pain in the butt. It has to always know you're nearby settings it always ask you to have Bluetooth on, which is already on and the buds are already connected before you get into the app. I don't get that one maybe they'll fix it and the other which is unfortunately the case. The case is a bit flimsy and when you want to try to keep the lid open it keeps falling down so I think that that was a architectural design flaw other than that they're definitely worth it I'll get over the case problem all I have to say is if you want them you'll be happy with them. Used with an Android device.

These buds murder AirPods Pro 2

- Sound quality is phenomenal. Deep bass and rich crystal clear highs. Hands down better than AirPods Pro 2, and significantly so imo.
- Battery life is the longest I’ve ever experienced, once again shaming Apple.
- Noise cancelling is great. For this, I’d say it’s equal to AirPods Pro 2, if not slightly better.
- They fit very snugly in my ears and don’t fall out with movement. They come with three pairs of ear tips, each a different size.
- Very good construction and premium feel. They also look really good.
- The charging case can either be charged with a type-C wire, or on any wireless charger by laying them down on the charging pad.
- The Skullcandy IQ app is actually useful with features such as custom EQ, voice control configuration, ANC controls, etc.
Long version:
Borrowed my Wife’s AirPods Pro 2 off and on for a week before deciding to give these a go as they were 50% off, and as someone who listens to metal and hard rock, these things absolutely murder Apple’s flagship buds. As far as sound quality and loudness, going from the AirPods Pro 2 to these was like going from ramen noodles to premium ribeye. The bass is right where it should be, and the treble is crystal clear and clean. Loud is an understatement. I use Spotify Premium and am happy with the EQ within that app, but the EQ within the Skullcandy app is really great as well. These are made well and feel great. Battery is roughly 6-7 hours, so really great. They fit great, are very comfortable, and don’t fall out with movement. All in all, these buds are amazing. Apple can’t compete.
