There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only criticisms is that sometimes the headphones will continue to play music in the case (you just got to wait for the light to turn red before shutting the lid). No biggie. The other thing is that if you're looking for noise cancellation for sleeping and no music playing, might want to look for something else more specific to that. They cannot block snoring from your partner, but are good for smaller noise like vents, fans or LED buzzing.
UPDATE: I had started experiencing an issue with sound playback. Didn't matter if it was just playing music on my phone or watching YouTube. I reached out to Skullcandy since I had passed the return window. Their customer service was great. After some troubleshooting we discovered that the ear buds were not pairing correctly to each other or my phone. They let me fill out a warranty claim and send the ear buds back. Unfortunately they couldn't replace them since that model was out of stock but they did give me a voucher to purchase a replacement pair from the website. My new ear buds arrived just a few short days later. I also decided to purchase the protection plan, just in case. Very happy with how it all turned out despite the issue. Still leaving it at 5 stars for the awesome customer service ❤️
I have owned these headphones for about a year in the Mint Green variant. Since they were purchased in 2021, I cannot speak to the quality of newer units incase manufacturing has changed since then.
1. Skullcandy as a brand.
I have loved Skullcandy since I first saw them on the shelves. They have a designer feel, while still being within the general consumer price range and delivering adequate quality. One of my biggest pet peeves with them as a company has been product lifespan, as their wired headphones always seemed very fragile. Figured I'd take a chance on the wireless, and this is my first time owning bluetooth headphones.
2. Design
These look and feel awesome. I'll get into the flaws at the bottom, but the things fit great and look great. The case and earbuds are quality; the plastic doesn't feel cheap; the case hinges are great; the fit in the ears is fine (and you obviously get the different bud dampers and earpiece fittings that you'll keep but never use). Case is a bit scuffed, and the shine has worn off, but they've suffered a year of being in my bookbag - so this is completely understandable.
3. Sound Quality
I am not an audiophile, so I can't give you a full breakdown on how they "actually" sound. Quality has been great for music and podcasts, so nothing to complain about here. Heavy on the mids, but range feels dynamic enough. Provides 3 preset EQs that can be accessed through a triple-tap (Music, Podcast, Movie).
4. Noise Cancellation
I'm getting older, so maybe it's me. But these are really great at blocking out ambient noise. Even with nothing playing, if someone is speaking to me, I have to remove 1 earbud at least in order to have a conversation. The provided "Ambient Mode" is a nice to "cancel the cancellation" though you lose audio quality.
5. Battery
I get about 8 hours of listening out of these which is very close to a full workday for me. Most of the time I get through the entire workday, sometimes I don't and have to wait for a charge. As of the time of writing, the case holds enough "juice" to hold about 4-5 full charges (represented as lights on the case). I think this was higher when I initially purchased the headphones, but I could be mistaken. I have just noticed that I'm charging the case more often recently.
6. Charging
This is the part that I'm confused about. I have no clue how these things charge as fast as they do. I KNOW it has to break some safety law. A completely dead earbud can go from 0% to ~90% in about 10 minutes of charging time. 10 minutes for 7 hours of listening? No idea how.
7. Design Flaws and Connectivity Issues
Now onto the main part of the review. I will try to be thorough, though I may miss some points.
7.0 Bluetooth is a bad protocol
Most consumers are familiar Bluetooth. It's this weird "thing" that exists, that we use sometimes, but not all the time. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way; Bluetooth and dependable connectivity are mutually exclusive concepts. The standard is out of control, it's hard to find whitepapers on, and has many different flavors. This means that every implementation of Bluetooth is different and it's never consistent. The Indy Evo has its own weird implementation, that can be frustrating if you don't know the patterns or how to recognize what's going on.
7.1 General Connectivity
There's a weird bug that happens under certain conditions where the headphones will become disconnected from the device (you'll notice this by the video/song pausing on your device). After about 5 seconds you'll hear "Reconnected" announced via the headphone and whatever you were listening to will be at a different volume than it was when the initial disconnect happened. I'd almost chalk this up to being an Android issue though, as it NEVER happens while I'm at work (with no internet connection) and ALWAYS happens while I'm at home (where Android can do whatever it wants in the background).
It's annoying, but I recognize it happening at this point, so I know how to deal with it. I'm pretty sure this is Android restarting the Bluetooth service, as it seems to happen more often when my phone is running low on storage.
7.2 Case Dying vs Removing Headphones
This is one that messed me up for a bit and I'm not sure that it's a solvable problem. When you remove the earbuds from the case, it signals to the earbuds to turn on and to take precedence for any device (this is a Bluetooth thing as far as I can tell). So what happens when your charging case runs out of juice? That's right, the earbuds turn on. This means if I'm driving (and my phone is connected through my car) and my earbuds are in my bookbag in the backseat, I lost audio in my car (because the headphones say "Hey, I'll play that"). Now, luckily, my car can take precedence back by changing the volume from my steering wheel, which tells my phone "Hey, I'm the device in charge" and then the sound is passed back to my car's system.
This is a weird thing the first time you encounter it though, but I'm not sure what the solution is.
7.3 Hinge magnet strength
All our ears are different. Sometimes you'll need to position the earpiece in a way that is not form-fitting for the case. Unfortunately, this can lead to the charging case not COMPLETELY closing, so after the initial closing (at this point you think your headphones are charging) it may get to a point where one (or neither) of the headphones are charging. They could fix this by making the case "fatter/wider" and making the earpiece reservoirs larger. There's a tradeoff here though between how "flat" you make the carrying case and how forgiving it is.
7.4 Earbuds disconnecting from one another
This is what most complaints are about. I can guarantee you. I have found that this ONLY HAPPENS when I fall asleep wearing one of the earbuds. I have tried to emulate it, but it only seems to happen in my sleep.
I only keep 1 earbud in when I'm sleeping (side sleeper).
MY GUESS, is that I am rolling onto the headphone in my sleep, throwing it through the pairing cycle mode, and this is disconnecting them. It has literally never happened while I have been awake/using the earbuds.
(Quickly the "Re-Pairing Cycle is:)
1. Disconnect BOTH earbuds through the phone/device.
2. Turn off Bluetooth on the device.
3. Power off left and right ear bud.
4. ONE AT A TIME. Place AND HOLD your finger on the ear bud so that you see it go through each cycle. (On, Pairing, Off). Do this for left and right. NOT AT THE SAME TIME.
5. Place and hold your finger on the earbuds so that they turn on at relatively the same time.
6. You should see 3 blue flashes on each earbud. Almost like a SYN-ACK back and forth.
7. After the third flash, you'll see them both flash blue at the same time and then the left earbud will go into "Pairing Mode".
8. At this point, turn your bluetooth back on and accept BOTH requests to pair.
You'll get pretty good at this after a while.
7.5 Right earbud acts as the "driver"
The left and right earbud are NOT equivalent. If you get out of range of the right earbud, you will start hearing connectivity issues. However, once you are completely out of range, the left takes over as the driver and quality is fine. This leads me to think that left and right have different profiles (and 7.1 may be an issue of left/right passing off to one another).
All-in-all good headphones. I like em and I'm buying another pair. Thanks for reading my thesis.

La persona está fascinada por la calidad de audio, además de la cancelación de ruidos externos, la carga de un solo audífono(trabajo) le dura toda su jornada, además de la facilidad de volver a cargarla con el case, la batería cumple lo que promete con las horas de uso.
Lo único q tardo en acostumbrarse a controlar el tacto en el audífono, parece ser es un touch muy ligero que te permite subir/bajar volumen, además de pausar musica/videos, tambien sirve muy bien para realizar llamadas son problema alguno.
A mí ver fue buena compra 😃.
Los bajos están X, pero la demás calidad está buena.
El micrófono está 2,3 pero muy bueno para lo que pagaste
