TLDR Review: Skullcandy Push Play Earbuds
Pros
- •Impressive battery life with one earbud lasting hours, supporting up to 34 hours combined use.
- •Good and clear sound quality that’s generally reliable, with instant Bluetooth connection when taken out of the case.
- •Securit design with over-ear hooks that keep earbuds in place during workouts and intense activities without discomfort.
- •Comfortable enough to sometimes forget you’re wearing them, suitable for extended periods.
- •Stable audio during phone calls even when moving around.
- •Attractive and compact design that appeals visually and practically.
- •Easy to pair with iPhone and Android devices.
- •Sweat and water resistance make them suitable for active users.
- •Reliable overall performance compared to older Skullcandy models.
Cons
- •Charging issues are fairly common, with users reporting earbuds (especially the left one) stopping charging within one to two months.
- •Ear hooks feel a bit flimsy and can weaken over time with sweat exposure.
- •Automatic powering on and connecting sometimes causes unexpected battery drain when not in use.
- •Sound quality, while decent, falls short of expectations for some users and is described as mediocre rather than great.
- •Charging contacts can be problematic, requiring regular cleaning to maintain proper charging.
- •Ear piece arms tend to discolor over time and don’t clean well.
- •Durability and charging reliability concerns appear mostly in the first few months.
- •Return policies may not fully cover issues past 30 days, which complicates resolution of defects.
Bottom Line
The Skullcandy Push Play Active Wireless Earbuds offer a solid mix of comfort, secure fit, and battery life that works well for active users and everyday use. However, potential buyers should be aware of recurring charging problems and slightly underwhelming sound quality compared to higher-end earbuds. If charging reliability is a priority, it might be worth considering alternatives, but for those seeking affordable, sweat-resistant, and comfortable earbuds with a decent sound profile, this is a reasonable choice.
