I find earbuds to be a feast or famine experience. Cheaper pairs sound awful and fit worse. But there are some excellent earbuds under $100, which includes the Push True Wireless from iconic Skullcandy that provide a nice balance of style, comfort and sound.
With a sleek wireless design, the Push True Wireless Earbuds keep you connected to your music with no limitations. No tangled cables. No awkward controls. I love the pocket-sized portable charging case, which are super convenient and versatile.
I’m generally not a fan of how earbuds feel in my ears, but Skullcandy’s FitFin ear gel design easily tucks into any ear, giving you a comfortable fit. Easily accessible buttons on each earbud keep you in complete control without having to touch your phone.
Boasting a total 12 hours of battery life, Push earbuds hold up to six hours of play and the charging case holds an additional six hours. They charge via USB-C, which I find far superior to USB-micro.
Other handy features include:
- Removable Stability Ear Gels for Secure Fit
- IP55 Sweat, Water and Dust Resistant
- Call, Track and Volume via Touch Controls
- Noise Reduction for Calls
As a bonus, the Push True Earbuds are part of Skullcandy’s “12 Moods” campaign, a fun, engaging program that showcases the intersection of music, culture and board sports. The program spotlights a different mood through the creation of exclusive music artist content, featured athlete stories and limited-edition product drops.
Skullcandy has named July’s mood as Independent, with the very cool, trendy Purple Iridium as the matching color. Each pair of Push earbuds include a limited-edition reusable water bottle, perfect for staying hydrated and looking fresh during a workout. Skullcandy’s “12 Moods” partners for July include rapper Tommy Genesis and professional skateboarder Chris Joslin.
Check into Skullcandy’s website in August for a new “12 Moods” color drop.
