It revealed a trio of headphone models designed with “the most active and adventurous consumers” in mind. According to Skullcandy, the Active Collection range ranges from $60 to $100 and is designed to provide reliable performance in any conditions.
Push Play Active, Push ANC Active and Sesh ANC Active all share a few features in common. They all support multi-point pairing and fast charging – a 10-minute charge will allow two hours of playback time. The side tone function is said to prevent occlusion and make it easier to hear our own voice. Meanwhile, the adjustable stay alert mode lets you tweak things so it’s easier to stay alert and hear what’s going on around you.
The $60 Push Play Active buds feature over-ear hooks and an IP55 rating for sweat and water resistance. Skullcandy claims the smart microphone will reduce background noise for “crystal clear” calls. The Push Play Active headphones have several equalizer presets, and you’ll also be able to set your own custom five-band EQ. According to Skullcandy, they offer up to 34 hours of battery life, the earbuds last up to 10 hours on a single charge, and the charging case provides an additional 24 hours of use.
The other two models also have some features in common. Push ANC Active and Sesh ANC Active are IP67 rated, meaning they are sweat and water resistant. Both models use a four-microphone array for adjustable active noise cancellation (ANC). The headphones are compatible with Skullcandy software, which will allow you to customize the onboard controls and equalizer levels. There’s also a personal sound feature — you’ll be able to run a real-time audio test to create a profile for optimized sound levels.
The Push ANC Active headphones are the most expensive option of the trio at $100. Skullcandy claims you’ll get up to 37 hours of use with ANC on (seven hours from the headphones and an additional 30 hours from the charging case) and up to 58 hours with ANC off. The brand says you can use the earbuds for up to 12 hours before returning them to the charging case. In addition, the case supports wireless charging.
It’s worth noting that while the Push ANC Active option has an over-ear hook, the Sesh ANC Active has a more traditional true wireless design. Skullcandy says these headphones have a “convenient grip” to keep them in your ears. They have a promised battery life of up to 28 hours with ANC on (seven hours on the headset, 21 hours on the charging case) and up to 48 hours with ANC off (12 hours and 36 hours, respectively). Sech ANC Active headphones will cost you $90.
Skullcandy has a reputation for offering solid products at relatively budget-friendly prices, so if you’re looking for these options, they’re worth checking out. . All three models will be available starts from June 25.
