Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Cheap with good ANC for the price
  • About 23 h measured with ANC
  • USB-C fast charging
  • ANC cuts most typing, chatter and plane noise
  • Light, memory-foam comfort
  • Tile tracking, wired backup
  • Snug but comfy pads

Cons

  • Very bass-heavy sound
  • Only SBC/AAC
  • Small ear-pad openings
  • Mediocre mic
  • Bass smears and buries vocals at times
  • All-plastic build
  • No app or EQ
  • SoundGuysOct 2024

    A decent budget ANC headphone mainly for bass lovers; mic and codec support are basic. Tested US version.

  • T3Oct 2021

    Far from perfect but a strong budget pick thanks to surprisingly effective ANC. Tested UK version.

  • PickrOct 2022

    Comfortable, fair-value ANC headphones, but only a light refresh of an older Skullcandy design. Tested Australian version.

  • New AtlasMar 2021

    Dependable, good-value headset that gets the basics right; not for audiophiles. Tested US version.
