Skullcandy is an upstart in the headphone industry, according to statistics from the research agency statista, only three of the top 10 brands in the U.S. headphone market in 2017 were founded after 2000, and Skullcandy is one of them. Skullcandy is one of the first headphone brands to focus on the outdoor street, and like Beats, it pays attention to the appearance design of the headphones, and the color combination is bold and outstanding.
 
Skullcandy's headphones are not worth their fair share of the word, and although they are mostly priced under 500 yuan, they have won praise from many media outlets, including The Wirecutter, What HiFi?, and Headphones Addict, for their good quality.
 
Among them, SKullcandy SMOKIN BUDS 2 BT is considered by What HiFi™ to be the most cost-effective wireless sports earbuds. The SMOKIN BUDS 2 BT is designed with a detachable hard collar with a groove angle that fits the human body, leaving only the battery compartment in the middle of the cable after removing the collar. Its sound quality is also good,Equipped with its own "true" sound quality technology,What HiFi?thinks that its bass saturation,The sound is full and rich,The sound field is relatively wide and reasonably separated,The dynamic range is worth affirming,Although there are slight flaws in all parts of the high, medium and low bass as a whole,But it is good enough compared with products in the same price range。 In other aspects, SMOKIN BUDS 2 BT has a battery life of 6 hours, does not come with earhooks and shark fins, does not support aptX, AAC Bluetooth encoding and waterproof functions, and is priced at 449 yuan.
 
In terms of wired sports headphones, Skullcandy's METHOD and Chops Flex have also won the favor of Headphones Addict and What HiFi?, respectively. METHOD is priced at 249 yuan, and the biggest highlight is that it weighs only 4g, which is very comfortable to wear and does not feel its existence. The addition of ultra-clean gel technology also makes the earbuds clean and odor-free after long wear, and although there are no fixing measures such as ear hooks and shark fins, Headphones Addict says that it is still very strong. The METHOD sound is characterized by being very loud, with good sound insulation and strong low frequencies. The disadvantage is that its waterproof performance is average, and it only supports waterproofing in life.
 
Chops Flex is priced at 149 yuan, with an earhook design, IPX4 waterproof capability, and flat-head earbuds to avoid excessive sound insulation and ensure safety when used outdoors. What HiFi? thinks the vocals of the Chops Flex are fairly clear, but thanks to the flat-head earbuds, the overall sound will have a fuzzy feel. In addition, compared to the 4g weight of the METHOD, the Chops Flex reaches 17g.
