Sure it has ambient and ANC modes, I didn't really purchase them for the noise cancelling. Cant really comment, its my first set of earbuds with ANC. I did notice that the ANC makes the bass quite overpowering, even boomy.
Charging the earbuds seems more reliable. The magnets seems stronger. I found the Indy Evo charging really unreliable. The earbuds wouldn't contact the pins in the case.
Either earbud can be used in solo mode. Either earbud will function as the primary earbud. Swapping is seamless, no disconnection or pauses when dropping one earbud in to charge. You only need one pairing setup on your device. Some other models of Skullcandy you would have two pairings on your phone, one for each earbud, which would result in disconnections or pauses when dropping one earbud in to charge.
Above the Indy Evos, these support AAC. Finding the earbuds with Tile is easy, chirps are way louder than any other earbud.
Sound - The 'Personal Sound' is a must!
Without this feature the sound is almost flat with a little bit of bass.
Once you've set up this feature it improves the mids and highs mostly, this helps a lot the sound quality. You need the app to set up the Personal Sound.
ANC - Decent for the price and size.
I own the Sony XM3s and the ANC is still one of the best in the current market. Taking that level of ANC and comparing it to the ANC of these earbuds; they're decent and good for the price. I've used them in busy malls, office environment, coffee shops, and at home. They reduce the sound greatly and with loud environments you won't have to raise the volume significantly to enjoy your music. You'll still have some minor background noise but the voices of the people next to you is almost unnoticeable unless they're almost screaming.
The ambient mode is useful for conversations without taking the earbuds off, clear voices from the outside, but the background noise and wind will also be heard clearly.
Battery life - the case is your salvation.
The battery with ANC and with half the volume is around the 4-5h mark, and with the case you'll have around 3 additional full charges. So in case you have to go out the whole day they should last with the case easily.
The case can be charged wirelessly so that's a plus but it takes a little bit longer to be fully charged.
An additional advantage is that you can use each earbud independently, so you can use one and keep the other charging in the meantime.
Controls - tricky but reliable when you get used to it.
They offer a lot of different gestures for different actions, and sometimes you may mistouch the earbuds creating a different command than what you were aiming for. They are useful, but you need to get used to them fully enjoy all of the control options you have.
Bonus: The app is simple to use and it does includes a lot of info from your Skullcandy products.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes, not my first language.
Skullcandy is known for making decent-to-good headsets and earbuds at a reasonable price. The Indy ANC holds up to that well, being packed with features usually reserved for pricier earbuds and coming in at 129.99 MSRP. However, you should ask yourself this: "Do I really need this?" If you're looking for a hassle-free, good set of earbuds that won't break the bank, you'll be *far* better served by a set of Sesh or Jib True/Jib True XT 2 earbuds. They're both completely serviceable, but much cheaper - and also lack a few features and bugs of the Indy.
Now, if you're still hooked on the idea of active noise canceling (ANC) and 9 hours of standard mode battery life, read on.
The Indy delivers on most of its promises. the ANC is absolutely amazing for the price point, I had no idea what to expect but it definitely wasn't what I got. With ANC enabled, the world goes absolutely silent except for brief noises. Every bit of low and mid range background noise is completely negated, to the point where it made my ears feel a little weird without music: it's a similar feeling to when you're in a shop after hours or being in a solid log cabin. It's literally just your breathing and whatever you can feel through your body, which is really trippy but makes listening to music much clearer. Ambient mode is also very useful and works as intended, you'll get good passthrough of most ambient noises. It's not as if you don't have earbuds in, but it's much better than the normal awareness reduction from earbuds of this type. Once you've found out that neither of these options are worth compromising the absolutely epic 9 hours of battery life on a single charge, you'll be greeted with a very mild listening experience: if you have access to a music player with EQ. If you like bass, bass and more bass you will be well served by Skullcandy's default EQ settings for music. They offer a movie and podcast mode as well, and all of these settings are built into the earbud and can be changed without the Skullcandy app, but I just made a new preset in VLC and called it a day. If you can tame the bass, mids and highs are clear and reasonably crisp but not stellar. It's all good, nothing to sneeze at, it's just not "knock your socks off" fantastic, which is totally in line with what should be expected from this company. Fit and finish is as expected, everything is kind of just "there". Build quality is good, the materials all feel solid enough. The rubberized loops that are toward the top of the buds make for an extremely positive retention in the ear, along with the silicone tips that are surprisingly high quality and work almost as well as earplugs. Lastly, the battery is incredible: you have 9 hours of listening time on the earbuds in a single charge, another 3 or 4 in the case if you keep it topped up all the time, and you'll get 2 hours of listening time from just 10 minutes in the case. As someone who is an absolute music addict, that's extremely important, because I'm never without my fix for more than 10 minutes, and if you're someone with reasonable levels of self control it's very easy to just top up the earbuds as you listen. I can see no legitimate use case where the battery setup here is anything less than amazing. If you need more than what these offer, get something that takes 3.5mm and be done with it, or go for headphones. 9 hours of battery in this form factor is a technological marvel.
Unfortunately, this is where the good news ends. These earbuds have been nothing short of unreliable with my device. They stay connected, but frequent dropouts and the occasional crash have occurred in my ~1 week of usage and show no signs of stopping. It's likely not my device: I am running these with a Samsung A53 5g with no problems on the phone, it's all the earbuds. I can expect a total sound dropout from both earbuds at least once hourly, but it resolves itself in a second or two. I had one crash where my left earbud completely froze on one note, which required a quick trip to the case for a minute or so to resolve. It completely disconnected once, which for a week of usage is very normal for any true wireless earbud. If you want wireless earbuds, you're sadly going to have to live with the fact that Bluetooth is not perfect and will always have spotty connections and dropouts from time to time. The problem is that the Jib True and XT 2 version thereof lack this problem: both have been totally seamless aside from the occasional pairing issue after being mothballed for a week or more. It's mildly disappointing that earbuds well over triple the price of the Jibs has such a comparative problem with connection. Aside from that, the only other dings I can offer are for ANC: if there is any kind of very loud noise, the earbuds aren't able to handle it, and you end up with a very unpleasant feedback. Serves me right for using an industrial air gun no more than 4' away from the mics, and 90% of people won't have to worry about this, but there's a possibility that other noises could trigger the issue, and I feel like I should mention it.
All in all, if you're looking for a relatively cheap intro to ANC and a pretty solid set of earbuds with truly outstanding battery life, these are for you. If you're looking for something wireless that plays music, there are better picks by this company and others. If you're looking for a perfect ANC experience, prepare your wallet, because you're just not finding that south of $100-$150.
At time of review, these are on a steep 64% discount. That makes them a sub-$50 option, very close to the Jibs and other very good options from other companies. Would I take these over another, slightly less expensive option knowing that these would have spotty connection and the occasional freeze? Absolutely, for the exclusive reason that these are fast-charge enabled and have a whopping 9 hours of listening time without ANC. You can't find that in most earbuds, period, much less one at this price point. And, for just under $50, you could pick up one of these and a pair of Jibs for less than some competitor earbuds aiming for this niche - and you'll have 2 pairs of earbuds for practically unlimited and uninterrupted listening. I wouldn't purchase these at MSRP, not by a longshot, but on sale these are a great buy.

La batería es justo lo que se promete, tienen un gran duración y la calidad de los sonidos es muy buena.
La cancelación del sonido es increíble, inhiben cada sonido del exterior.
UPDATE:
2 months in and the left earbud just stopped charging at all and will not turn on. No debris in the charging port, haven't been dropped at all. Just all of a sudden stopped working one day. Now I have to spend money to mail them back to skullcandy.
not happy at all.
Seems to be the issue with all BT headphones, eventually one day they just stop working. Time to go back to wired I guess.
battery backup i would say you can expect 5hrs max 6hrs
Comfort wist its okk no discomfort or anything but since its pretty big its understandable
