Skullcandy - Push True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Psychotropical Teal

I have been a fan of Skullcandy headphones for over a decade now. I have owned multiple versions of the Crushers and the Hesh, I even own the Venue right now, so when I heard they were coming with totally wireless earbuds, I was curious and excited. Inside the box comes the Skullcandy Push earbuds, 3 ear tip sizes, charging case and cable (usb type C) as well as the usual paperwork. Design-wise they are a little elongated and extend a little away from the ears when worn. They don’t have a solid feel and they have a primarily plastic like build quality. This though, allows them to feel quite comfortable given that the design is lightweight. I found then breathable when sitting in the ear and I found that the wing tips kept them very stable in each ear and I didn’t find them falling out from general use. Each bud has a single button which can handle playback when listening to music and also to answer and end phone calls. When it comes to portability, I don’t really have any complaints, the case might be more bulky than some would like but it is designed pretty well. It has built in magnets that keep the buds in place, therefore never falling out and the case itself self never opens accidentally. I’ve paired this with both a Note 8 and an iPod Touch and had no issues getting them connected. Once Bluetooth was turned on and each device was in searching mode, the Push comes up and connects immediately after selected. Using them is straightforward and the connection is stable with no shorting or skipping unless far away from the mobile device or having multiple walls between the device and the buds. On the downside the buds cannot be connected to multiple devices at once and hence switching the earbuds between devices is not seamless and effortless. So, how do they sound? Pretty much as I expected from some wireless earbuds. Throughout daily use I found that they have a consistent bass, that’s not too overbearing, well balanced mid-range and decent highs. Vocals are not always the most detailed and crisp but your listening experience isn’t really affected at all. Bass heavy songs and those with decent amount of treble came through very well on these. Music control is pretty standard and straightforward. The buttons on each bud is very responsive and don’t require a deep press for it to register. A single tap on each bud stops/plays a track while double tapping the left bud lowers the volume and double tapping the right bud increases the volume. Holding the buttons for 2-3 seconds skips the track forward when using the right bud’s button, while it is skipped backwards using the left bud’s button. When it comes to the microphone these are pretty average. In quiet areas they perform well but in noisy and loud environments the buds will struggle. I also noted that the call audio only came through the left bud. Overall this is a good entry from Skullcandy. At about half volume, I got about 6.5 hours of listening time and with the case I was only able to get one full charge, before the case needed to be charged again. I would definitely recommend for general use.

I should first start off by saying I bought these on sale for half the retail price. They do a decent job for listening to music. I haven't used them for their other capabilities yet, but I understand I can use them for phone calls, as they have a built-in mic. They come with a quick-charging case and a short USB-C cord which provides you with many hours of listening power. Also supplied are 2 pairs of spare ear bud tips of different sizes. I have some difficulty with them, however. They are quite large, and I feel I have to adjust them frequently due to their size. I was expecting them to fit better; at least flush with my ears, but the upper part hangs out somewhat. While I was able to pair them with my Bluetooth phone, the buttons aren't that intuitive, and can be finicky. I have to keep pushing them to get the proper volume, and have problems getting them to pair with one another at times. Sometimes, if I press the button to pair with the other, it shuts them both off, and it can get frustrating. The only workaround I've found so far is to put them both back in the case and start over. I was also expecting better quality audio. It sounded "tinny." I managed to fix it by shoving them further in my ears to achieve the bass and treble I want, but am not sure that's such a good idea if I want to preserve my hearing. If you're not concerned with the aforementioned issues, you might be satisfied with them. I just wouldn't pay $99.99.

Wonderful and a amazing product would recomed for all ages

I was excited to select these Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless Earbuds in exchange for the earbuds and an honest review. Since I live in North Florida I am able to enjoy the great outdoors year 'round. So, my earbuds must be able to perform in my humid climate. One of the many features of these earbuds is their IPX4 rating, which is both sweat and water resistant. For me an absolute must. For the past three weeks I have used these earbuds everyday, especially while doing my outdoor yard chores. I live on a six-acre, wooded parcel and there is always something that needs my attention, and I love listening to music while I work. So, I am going to begin my review with what I have learned using these earbuds everyday: ***What I love about using these Skullcandy earbuds?*** AUDIO - The audio quality is always the main reason why we purchase any set of earbuds. For the first-time version of Truly Wireless earbuds, Skullcandy has done a credible job. The sound quality is surprising for the value of these earbuds. The low and mid-ranges are emphasized leaving treble and clear voice in the background, but not drowned out. IF you get these buds nestled correctly in your ears, the rich bass at the low ranges is exciting, especially for walks, runs, and physical workouts. However, there is no EQ, or pre-set adjustments, nor any high-end codecs to deliver high resolution, audio quality over Bluetooth. In summary you get bang-up audio quality, overall, in comparison to other earbuds at this price point, IMHO. I have three other, more expensive earbuds, and Skullcandy is equal in features and competitive in audio quality. WooHoo! INTUITIVE CONTROLS – There is a button (about the size of a dime) on each bud towards the bottom of each earbud. The button on each earbud (Left or Right) features ON/OFF controls, Volume, Pairing to Smart Phones, Making and Receiving Phone Calls, Changing Tracks, and my favorite, Activate Voice Assistant, particular to either 'L' or 'R' earbud, or both. See User Manual for specifics. The auto-ON and auto-OFF features by placing the earbuds back in their case, or taking them out is super cool. There is an easy-learning-curve to these control buttons, but, you have to use these buds for several days. I felt comfortable of mastering these controls after four days of constant use. In addition to these simple controls you get 'Voice-Announcements' like when you are connected to BT, Earbuds 'ON', or 'OFF', etc. PAIRING TO MY DEVICES – What I found to be really unique is that these Skullcandy buds not only easily pair to my mobile phones, but, PC, Tablet, Laptop, I-Pad, MP3 Player, Switch, PS4, etc. They pair to any of your devices unlike many other wireless, BT earbuds. They don’t support multi-device pairing and can only connect to one Bluetooth source at a time. They have no registry to remember all of your other devices. Also, keep in mind that there is a latency (lag time delay), which makes these buds not very good for use in any kind of gaming. They use a 4.2 BT Interface, which is as simple as it gets. DESIGN & FIT – The overall design with lightweight plastic body and gel 'Fit' ear hook had fooled me. At first glance these buds look bulky and heavy – far from the truth. Skullcandy provides three pair of gel ear cup inserts for varied fit. Surely, one pair will fit you comfortably, so you can enjoy the robust sound quality of these earbuds. TIP – Install each earbud as far as it will go comfortably in your ear canal for more impressive sound and more secure fit. I was impressed after wearing these buds outside for over four hours each day, and, sweating because of the heat and humidity, they have NOT stressed my ears and remained comfortable to wear. YooHoo! SMART PHONE CALLS – It is super easy to answer and end a phone call. Just touch either 'R' or 'L' button once to answer a call, or end a call. My favorite phone use is through the Voice Assistant feature (SIRI for me to make calls). You can use whatever Voice Assistant on your Smart Phone is available and is enabled, and, or Alexa. It is easy to activate by simply pressing either the 'L' or 'R' earbud three times. Be aware that phone calls are heard over the 'L' ear bud only and are 'mono'. The mic is also on the Left earbud, and is of decent audio quality and clearly heard by your party. RECHARGEABLE BATTERY – I was able to use my Skullcandy earbuds for over five and a half hours before I had to recharge them by placing the earbuds back in their protective case. Fully charged in their case the buds can give you up to twelve hours of listening time. WoW! It took me approximately two hours to fully charge the earbuds in their case using the furnished and latest, USB 'C' cable. You can also charge the case with your PC, laptop, etc, as long as it has a USB Port. The case has four LED Blue Indicator lights to give you the battery status. You can depress the button just under the LED lights for the battery-charge status at any time. ***What I think needs to improve these Skullcandy earbuds?*** FIT – The gel 'FIT' ear piece is too short for my ears to retain them securely (OK, I have big ears). However, I'm guessing I am not alone in this issue. This makes me wonder just how secure these earbuds would be for gym workouts, and running, or jogging? However, my wife says they fit her ears securely enough for physical workouts and running (She has 'normal' sized ears). Skullcandy, please look into redesigning your FIT gel ear piece for Big-Eared folks like me. High Resolution Codecs – High Resolution codecs deliver CD quality sound over Bluetooth. aptX HD and LDAC along with Apple ALAC would enhance the already good sound to great sound quality. Please look into Skullcandy for your next upgrade into Truly Wireless Earbuds. CONTROL BUTTON – The control button on each earbud is too large in comparison to the size of the earbud body. Consider making the button much smaller. It took me two weeks to figure it out. It was so confusing trying to insert the buds into my ears while NOT touching the buttons – YUK! Since the earbuds were 'ON', while I tried inserting them correctly into my ears I inadvertently touched the Control Button and changed the settings 'to who knows what'. I eventually learned to manually shutoff the earbuds when I took them out of their case 'till they were inserted correctly in my ears. Then, I turned them 'ON' - so much easier. . . . CONCLUSION - The Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless Earbuds are a great value for the quality audio and features of these FUN earbuds. I love them because I can use them and enjoy their sound quality outside in the Florida heat & humidity. They have some 'shortcomings', but not enough for me to give them less than five stars. . . . These earbuds would make a great gift for that 'physically-active' family member or friend. They are inexpensive when you consider the multi-functional features and sound quality.

The pros: - they stay stuck in your ear and don't come out - charges in the case which is nice - the bass is really nice - pairing is fast and easy - changing tracks is easy. The left side is for decreasing volume and going back a track, while the right side is for increasing volume and skipping a track. Very intuitive. The cons: - Inside the case, they automatically connect/pair, turn on, and start playing music without me turning them on and this can get quite annoying. It keeps automatically connecting so your best option is to shut off bluetooth but you shouldn't have to do this. Overall, I'd still recommend it.

I've had my Skull Candy (Push) Wireless headphones for years now & I can't complain. Everything that's said in the description is true. I think the price has actually went up. I am truly satisfied.

Bought the Skullcandy Push buds at Best Buy. I was planning on using them for work, as I spend a lot of time on my cell phone. I have now had them for less than a week. It has been a very long time since I was sooooooo disappointed with a product. I use an Apple iPhone 11 with these buds. I will now explain my rating: 1. Auto connect/Auto disconnect. When you take them out of the charging case, the buds are suppose to connect to your phone's bluetooth. When you put them back in the case, they are suppose to disconnect and recharge. This NEVER happens. They remain connected when I put them back in the case. I go to use them the next day and they are dead, and I find out I missed phone calls and texts cause the bluetooth never disconnected when I put them in the charging case. I can never just use them, like my Anker Soundcore. How come a $49.99 set of Anker Soundcores can get it right every time, and Skullcandy can't get it right at all. 2. Suppose to be able to use just the left bud. Again, it works once in a blue moon. It is terrible. For some reason I always have to take both buds out of the case to get them to work, and that is no guarantee. Terrible. 3. Recharge. When reinserted back in to the charging case, the buds are suppose to disconnect/charge. Nope. I have to manually shut down both buds. What a menace and hassle. If you don't catch this issue, your buds are dead the next morning. Makes me very mad. 4. Customer support. I went on Skullcandy's chat. One of their associates made me reset the buds back to factory and remove them from my phone. Basically start over. It did not work. After we went through a bunch of "do this, do that", it finally worked. Then, I went to use them the next day. Dead. Did not recharge. I went back on chat, they say it may be the charging case but they just were not sure. They want me to mail them back, at my own cost. No way. I will just take them back to Best Buy. Anyway, I will be returning them today, and no I won't get another pair of these. I have now researched and found the problems I am having to be very common. Why Skullcandy is still selling these is beyond me. Total garbage. I do have one bit of praise for the Push Buds though. For the very little bit of time I have had to try them out, they seem very comfy and they stay in the ear well. That is the only praise I can come up with, as even the audio is not great. My phone calls were very frustrating, as I heard, "you sound very muffled," constantly. Very poor microphone. Very Sad. Anyway, back to Best Buy. I think I will just step up to the better Anker Soundcore. My current ones work terrific, and work every time. Never even a glitch. No complaints about a muffled sound. I do not recommend the Push Buds to anyone. Awful experience with Skullcandy.

I purchased these to replace some wireless headphones for when I go to the gym to work out. I dont go all out crazy cardio, just weightlifting and a speed walk on the treadmill. They are decent headphones for the price and what I was using them for. My issue with the the headphones is how they charge.I tried them out at home and liked the sound. The sound is alright considering that these are "cost efficient" headphones and are more for people looking for a decent sound at a reasonable cost. I charged the headphones and the case at the same time or at least I thought I did. My first time taking them to the gym, I put them on and the headphones were completely dead. The case had full charge. I checked the case before leaving thinking everything was fully charged. I put the earbuds in the case for 5-10 mins and they had power to turn on. Charged them again and made sure they were both lit and the headphones were off so they would not be completely dead when I go to the gym. This time was great. Was able to work out and listen to my playlist. Charge everything and double check the same way that both are charging and everything is off. Get to the gym and turns out this time only the left is fully charged and the right is completely dead. It says that you have to hold the left side for so long to turn off the headphones. I guess it did not turn off both while one was in the case. I took these back because I feel that the cost is not worth the time learning how to operate these. I just want a set of headphones that I can charge and take out use and put back without having to worry about if they are on or off and if both are charging.
