Comparing these to the Bose Ultra QC earbuds these are just as good! I have been loyal to Bose earbuds until I have skullcandy a shot. Skullcandy always boasted good bass and honestly the Bose QC’s kinda lacked in this area, but the Skullcandy Method definitely executed this very well. Always enjoyed the new design of bose Ultra so when I saw Skullcandy collaborating and utilizing the design, I HAD to try! The audio quality (esp the bass) is superb, including call quality. To be honest, everything about it is perfect besides two little caveats, one the outer quality is just a shy less compares to the Bose Ultra QC’s and the second is the automatic audible voice prompts that reminds you that it is connected and battery level. It is loud and annoying, wish it could be smooth sounding like Bose or lowered. Other than that I’d definitely recommend for the gym or runs! Buy when they are discounted right now! Also Have fun in life!
Thanks for the detailed review and the good vibes! We’re pumped you gave Skullcandy a shot after being loyal to Bose and even more excited to hear the Method earbuds delivered on that signature bass you’ve been missing. Totally hear you on the voice prompt volume. That's valuable feedback we’ll be passing along to the team. Glad the design, sound, and call quality hit the mark for you, and we agree catching them on sale makes it even sweeter. Appreciate you spreading the word and, most importantly, the reminder to have fun in life!

I've been using Skullcandy since I got my hands on them from the old really bad skull crusher design with wired earcup to the skull candy bass crusher and currently the ANC 2. I've always thought the earbud were lacking since I owned a pair got really mad at it for being so frustrating to use, I thrown it in the trash but this one different, sound quality where bass isn't muddy with the mid, feature like removing earbud pausing music thing you would see from apple air pods pro and many others etc. The app equalizer also has that bass boost setting I've been wanting on earbud for so long and it hit just right for the song I'm listening to.
Thanks a ton for the long-time support. It sounds like you’ve been on the Skullcandy journey from the very beginning! We’re really glad to hear the ANC 2 earbuds turned things around for you. It’s awesome that the sound tuning, app EQ, and little features like auto-pause are hitting the mark this time, especially the Bass Boost! Totally get how frustrating earlier models could be, so it's great to know this one earned its spot. Appreciate you sticking with us through the ups and downs.

They fit well in my ear and they are loud enough to drown out the machinery that I work with, the ANC does a good job I didn't notice my boss lecturing me until he tapped my shoulder. Have a little trouble telling which is the left and the right when putting them back in the case but other than that 10 out of 10

Thanks a ton for the great review! We're glad you found a solid pair without breaking the bank. It's awesome to hear the fit, sound, and ANC are all hitting the mark for you. Really appreciate the recommendation! Enjoy the music 🎧

Skullcandy Dropping Great Beats

I wanted another set of earbuds with noise canceling that I can leave in my travel bag and would be easy to find. I’ve got a few sets I use often, but for different uses like work calls where I prioritize noise canceling and mic clarity or working out where I need the set to stay in while moving. I heard that Skullcandy was doing a collaboration with Bose in creating the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC wireless earbuds, which caught my interest as I’ve had good experience with both over the years but for different reasons. So, I grabbed a pair of the Method 360 ANC’s to try out.
Pros:
- Great fit, comfortable and secure.
- Great sound, both bass and vocals are clear.
- High-Capacity Battery and Case (~40Hrs).
- Case is large and easy to find.
Cons:
- ANC and Aware modes work but could be better.
Setup:
Skullcandy made it super easy to get started with the Method 360 ANC, just take them out and connect to them via Bluetooth. You don’t even need to use the app to set them up, in fact the instructions ask you to connect via Bluetooth before even using the app. The only thing that caught me off guard was the vocal “Connect” que was much louder than I was expecting. I’d like a way to adjust the volume, as the prompt is too loud for my liking. Otherwise, this was one of the easiest setups I’ve ever had.
Software Features:
Skullcandy’s choice to not require their Skill-iQ app for setup was a huge plus, but there are some benefits to using the app. There’s also the standard features of Equalizer to adjust the sound levels and Hearing Modes that allow for Active Noise Canceling or Stay-Aware Modes.
Multi-touch controls can be customized within the app to your preferences, there are predetermined actions that can be assigned to 1, 2, 3 taps and a long hold. The list of actions covers most of what I already use, plus allow you to control your phones camera as a remote trigger which is surprisingly convenient. I like the audio cue used to indicate a tap; a little click that helps confirm you’ve triggered the multi-touch control. There’s little guessing or trying to trigger the controls, its intuitive and easy.
Additionally, there is a Multipoint Pairing and Low Latency Audio. Multipoint Pairing does what the name implies, allowing you to pair 2 devices at the same time to the earbuds. This is great if you want to take a phone call or hear notifications while listening to your laptop or tablet play a video. I was able to pair to my work laptop while also being paired to my phone without any hassle to switch between audios. Low Latency Audio ensures the visuals you see also match the audio it was intended to be synced with. I usually don’t have too much issue with this, but I did notice a difference while on a video call, whereas normally without Low Latency Audio I could perceive a larger lag between visual and audio.
Fit & Feel:
I have to say the Method 360 ANC is one of the snuggest pair of earbuds I’ve ever put in my ears. I did need to swap out the wingtip and ear cup from the default ones to get a better fit, which improved the comfort and Noise Cancelling performance greatly. I find that earbuds without some kind of wingtip or ear hook just won’t stay in. I was able to shake, move and run without any issues
The size and shape of the earbud makes it very easy to find the multi-touch controls. Though it also is a minor issue when putting the earbuds in, as pushing the earbud into your ear will often trigger the long press which by default starts the Spotify play list. I was confused the first few times I put them in and music was already playing, then figured out how to put them in without triggering the long press but also changed what the long press did so I didn’t keep blasting music into my ears when I put them in.
Sound:
The sound on the Method 360 ANC is amazing, with deep bass and clear vocals. It’s to be expected with the sound by Bose, but still hits so good you might forget. I didn’t find any distortion while listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls. Even at higher volumes, which I don’t recommend going too loud as these things boom, the sound stays crystal clear. I literally cannot find anything I don’t like about the sound on these.
Case:
The case is large compared to other ear buds, which might be a negative for some but as I’ve mentioned I wanted a set that would be harder to misplace and could travel well. The Method 360 ANC truly are ready to go, with the attached belt clip, it’s easy to attach the case to a bag or belt so you really don’t lose it.
Battery Life:
The battery life on the Method 360 ANC is great, depending on if you have the ANC on or off you could get 9hrs or 11 hrs of play time on a single charge, respectively. The case provides an additional 23 to 29 hours of charge depending on ANC use. Since a single charge lasts more than 8 hours, and the case has more than 2 charges, this covers my daily use plus. More than enough play time to get through a day and charge back up for the next. Plus, the case features a rapid charge feature, which can give you 2 hours of use on a 10min charge for those last min or top off charges.
Hearing Modes:
One of the main features of the Method 360 ANC, is the Active Noise Canceling (ANC). The ANC works well, it’s not the absolute best I’ve encountered but it cuts out the background noise while listening to music well enough that it’s not noticeable in mildly noise environments. Louder noises like a car honk or siren do cut in, though muffled. The intensity slide does change the levels, but the difference in levels is only noticeable from one end to the other, with limited steps between.
The Aware mode also works well, it brings down most sounds to balanced range while still allowing for you to hear what is going on around you. The only thing I wish was that the Aware mode had an adaptive or environment-based mode so the intensity would adjust based on the sounds around you. This would help when changing environments like a mildly noisy office to a street, but as is it works well.
Call Quality:
The call quality was good, though I did encounter an issue occasionally where the caller said they could hear a whine or whistle on my end when I was not talking, though there was no background noise like such. It seemed to happen when I was on Aware mode, but was not consistent and would go away if I switched hearing modes, even just toggling them on then off. It wasn’t bad enough to stop using them but could be a bother to some callers.
Conclusion:
If you want a hardy pair of earbuds that will stay in no matter what while providing an amazing sound experience, the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC are the way to go. The large case provides plenty of battery charge while being great for tossing into a bag or hanging from a strap for on the go. The audio quality is top notch with Sound by Bose, providing an immersive experience without flaws. Overall, Skullcandy crushed it with the Method 360 ANC making a great pair of earbuds that are features packed and I’ll be keeping in my bag going forward. At least I won’t lose these around the house so easily.

This is my 16th set of wireless BT earbuds and second from SkullCandy (first was Indy Evo 4). Why, because they keep getting better, and lesser known makers have made huge improvements. Longevity continues to improve, These Skullcandy Method 360 ANC's claim 32h (9h+23h from charging case) and a 10m Rapid charge will give you an additional 2 hours listening time. I fully charged mine when I got them, then paired them with my iPhone 15 Pro, which was trouble free. I then ran them through Tara Labs Noise burn in tones for 8h 37m (to verify the battery claims, and to break them in), when the right earbud was exhausted; so very close to the 9 hour quoted battery life. The Method's use BT 5.3 whereas the Evo's used BT 5.0. BT 5.3 should offer better sound quality. I installed the Skullcandy Skull-IQ software. Installation went smoothly. These Skullcandy earbuds have "Sound by BOSE"; I've always considered Bose to have the best ANC functionality of any headsets/earbuds. I look forward to seeing how SkullCandy has utilized Boses' technology. I fully recharge the case and earbuds overnight. Their app said the left earbud was 97% charged and the right was charged to 98%.
Let's get to the important part, how do they sound/fit. After testing the larger and standard silicon ear inserts I found the standard silicon cushion felt the best (they are elliptical not round). I did some quick testing with the IQ Apps Music setup and various Custom EQ curves (expecting to like my own setting) only to find that their Music setup was louder/more lively than I could accomplish with any Custom EQ settings (only a 5 band EQ). The Method 360 earbuds have ear-detection sensors which pauses your music when you take them out; and resumes play when you put them back in your ears. BTW: The case does not support wireless charging.
Now on to Boston's first album; 'More than a Feeling' was very crisp, the high's very nice, on 'Foreplay/Long Time' the fade out fade in separation was excellent, the subtle build up was nearly perfect, but mid-bass and bass was not as tight as I'd have liked. In general the bass was there but not quite as pronounced as I'd hoped. Here I looked at their IQ App to try the 'Bass Boost'. Just one of 3 preset settings; Music, Bass Boost, Podcast and the Custom EQ. I can't say the 'Bass Boost' improved the situation, the Music setting was best for music, and the podcast did enhance the spoken word, (worked well). I'm accustomed to using the included software custom EQ, but its 5 band limitation didn't sound any better then the Music setting. So I've accepted the highs and mid range are superb, but the low end lacked the same authority. While on this point I compared the ANC and 'Stay Aware' (Ambient setting that allows you to hear the sound around you with the earbuds in. This was a huge step up from their Evo earbuds. The ANC with the intensity all the way up was most excellent. Same as the 'Stay Aware" with it turned all the way up it was very easy to hear what was going on around me. I could easily watch and listen to the TV in the adjacent room. The ANC completely hid the sound of my pool pump running when I was in my backyard. I took a phone call at this point, and the quality I heard was clear and the person I was talking to thought it was also good. Again the sound is much better than the Evo's from a few years back, yet their are details, mostly on the low end that are missing.
Back to the music, Pink Floyd's masterpiece; DSOTM. 'Speak to Me' sounded great, but I'd have preferred a little more volume, but I was at 100%. The subtle tones were great, but as the song builds it lacked some oomph that higher volume might have aided with. The highs of 'Time' were excellent, these earbuds provide a crystal clear high end, they excel here. Then 'The Great Gig In the Sky's' ethereal voices, nicely done, The saxophone highs were wonderful. But again a bit more bass/volume would have been nice. 'Money' was much better but it's much louder. The spoken voices in 'Brain Damage' sounded very clear and stood out well. As does the fade out of 'Eclipse'. Well above average for earbuds.
All told these are very good earbuds, much better than their Evo's were. They don't get as loud as I would have liked (still better than the Evo's were). I just think and the bass is on the thin side, details just missing, or muddled. That being said, I don't think Bose has the best low end either (but better details). So these Methods 360's do sound like Bose. The ANC and "Stay Aware" are very well executed. Maybe if they were just a bit louder I could fully recommend them. But they sound very good. I'm sure some will think the low end is fine; I didn't find their custom EQ did as much as it could have. They only have one saved custom EQ setting. I do wish it was easier to read the "R" and "L" on the earbuds (maybe white printing?). Skullcandy's partnership with Bose has certainly improved the product they offer. I just feel the overall volume/low end needs further consideration. They have nailed the mid and high end. The Motion 360's seem to be a very good value.

The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds provides excellent sound and a whole host of high end features at a bargain price. This is a real step up for Skullcandy. I've been using the Method 360's for several days in different sound profiles. Fit (always a problem for me) has been excellent even after several hours wear and they don't fall out, even during exercise or other activities. Nice extra is that they can be used in pairs or individually. Most of my wear has been while hiking, walking, and working out at the gym.
The Method 360 ANC earbuds are 'Sound by Bose', and apparently use the Bose drivers, design, and sound tuning. I can't really compare them to the current Bose earbuds, but they do blow away my previous buds. My longest stretch with them was a little over five housr with ANC set for ambient awareness on, so battery life seems to be very good. Sound quality is also excellent, with very punchy base and just enough accentuated highs to make it bright without making it shrill.
Noise cancelling worked very well on a test walk, street noise was basically zero. It also worked very well on public transit, cutting the train noise to near zero. Switched to 'Stay Aware' (Skullcandy's term for ambient awareness) and it was a very different story, external noise really popped. There is a third setting, ANC off, which basically provided usual muted external sounds.
The microphone worked well enough to use the Method 360's as a substitute for a phone headset. I used them during a walk on a breezy day and my 'test subject' (my friend on the other end of the call) had no problem understanding me or recognizing my voice. The wind cancellation was pretty good and the voice sounded natural. This is all subjective, of course.
The companion app is actually one of the best I've seen. It has
- a five band equalizer, which lets you tone down the base accentualtion for those base heavy beats
- hearing modes to set the mode and level of ANC or Stay Aware
- button setting to select what 1, 2, 3 tap or long press does
- low latency audio for gaming
- multipoint connectivity
The tap settings are totally configurable to a host of functions, and are settable per earbud. Usual play/pause, next, previous, ANC control, vol up/down, as well as 'fast actions' (Spotify, take a pic, Assistant) and phone controls.
The Multipoint connectivity worked really well, I have the Method 360's paired to both my laptop and phone. It takes some getting used to as the switching is done automagically depending on pre-assigned priority, but again, it works well.
The case is a charging case and is supposed to provide about 40 hrs of charge. I didn't test this, but I did go a couple days without recharging the case. I will say the case design is probably the weakest point. It's a little fiddly figuring which earbud goes where. They are held in magnetically. More distressing, the case slides open and the latch closed is not very positive. I had the case open one time by itself bouncing around hanging on a backpack. Won't do that again.
Overall, the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are a solid bargain. Definitely recommended!

I use earbuds regularly and have 6 different pairs that I rotate through any given week or month, so when I saw that Skullcandy & Bose got together on a collab for the 360s, I couldn't resist picking these up.
TL;DR for my frequent readers with the details below.
Good:
Sound
Comfort
Charging Case Style / Innovation
Battery Life
USB-C
Touch Controls
Meh:
Position of the earbuds in the charging case
The App
Silicone ring slips
Bulk of the case
Muffled feedback voice
Bad:
Nothing 'bad'
So right off the bat, I got a look at this innovatively cool sliding charging case that can easily hook onto my backpack. Note: When you first get these, there's a cover on the earbuds' contact so if you charge them before actually using them, you're only charging the case! Remove the earbuds and the little sticker, then charge them! USB-C is great as that's pretty much my only charging cable these days.
Charging was pretty quick though I wasn't counting. There seems to be a common thing these days when both buds are charging the may or may not each reach 100% at the same time and after putting them in your ears, it's already 98-99%. While I imagine this will be a software update fix, it's noticeable right now.
On the earbuds that look VERY much like the Bose QuietComfort earbuds, but with a Skullcandy logo, is a button that doesn't click. When you tap the button on the ear buds, you hear what sounds like a 'clunk.' As you tap the button the clunk gets a bit higher pitched, so you know (out of 3) which function you're about to use on the buds (skip track, volume up, take a picture, etc). Oh yeah, you can assign your earbud to be a remote camera shutter - that's pretty slick.
A 'meh' piece of the App, is that it doesn't show what mode you're until you open the menu; I'd like to see the ANC icon vs the "stay aware" - hear-through mode displayed. Each of the modes do allow for customization - more or less; I find the more customization you can have, the better. I did find the App had trouble reconnecting to the earbuds if it was in the background, but closing / opening again allowed them to connect again without issue.
When you take your earbuds out and go to put them back in the case, you have to turn them upside down to put them in and if you turn them, as you go, you run the risk of pulling the outer silicone ring out of the guide - ask me how I know this? I'd like to take the buds out and put them right in, but that's not the case here as even the skulls are upside down, when the carabiner kind of ring is up / USB port facing down.
When it comes to sounds + ANC, these are really good. I was caught off guard with the bass and the clarity of acoustic guitars and the clarity of the vocals makes these so enjoyable to listen through. I found myself going outside to relax in the wonderful weather and put these in. The sound of the pool pump chugging along was gone, the loud cardinals were silenced and they are so comfortable. There's a custom EQ (only 1), that works well and have found myself use my custom EQ more than the default.
So, if you want a Bose-like style, great sound and don't mind fiddling with the silicone ring from time to time and a bit of a bulky case - then these are a steal at their launch price.
Recommended!

I must say - I really like these Skullcandy Method 360 headphones, and here is why. I have used and owned a number of different in ear headphones and usually I enjoyed using a certain brand. However after trying Skullcandy headphones on, they felt like "they belonged" in my ears. The comfort level was surprisingly amazing to me! The fitting is just right and even though the box contained different sizes of other ear fittings, the ones supplied were perfect for my ears. My son asked me to use these headphones and had the same experience - they were comfortable and easy to use. So whoever worked on the design of these headphones - big thank you from me!
Now let's talk about the sound quality. Again, it was another big surprise for me, my music sounded great, the bass is punchy, all the highs and lows were awesome. I felt like I was rediscovering my music library all over again and hearing things I did not hear before.
Noise Canceling worked well too and isolated the external sounds just right.
Other Huge Pluses are:
1. Battery life - I used to conserve the battery by wearing one ear piece at a time (to prolong the usage) and listen to my podcasts as I work outside all day long. Now, I can wear both ear phones and not worry about the battery life. Plus with a Rapid Charge I can always bump up the battery life to 2 hours by placing them back in their case just for 10 minutes.
2. Stay Aware Mode is very handy and I am glad these headphones feature it.
3. Easy Pairing (I suggest that you also download the Skull-iQ app) supports Google Fast Pairing and Multipoint Pairing.
There is one suggestion for improvement I might propose: the charging case is a bit big and bulky. It needs to be smaller and more practical. I am sure it has a bigger battery and can provide a number of recharging cycles, so it is just my personal observation in regards to its design.
All in all, I am super happy with these Method 360 ANC headphones, perfected by Bose. Try these for yourself and you will understand what I mean.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear the Method 360 ANC earbuds are hitting the mark for you, especially when it comes to comfort, sound quality, and battery life. It’s great to know the fit felt natural right out of the box, and we love that your son had the same experience!
We appreciate the shout-out to Stay-Aware Mode, Rapid Charge, and the Skull-iQ app features. Those little extras can really make a difference in daily use. Also, your feedback on the case size is noted and genuinely appreciated. We’re always working on ways to improve design and portability without sacrificing performance.
Thanks again for the kind words. We’re glad you’re enjoying the experience!

Skullcandy + Bose = Amazing

The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are an excellent choice, especially at this price point. They sound amazing, are packed full of options and have excellent battery life. Being tuned my Bose definitely shows. They sound punchy and crisp at the same time. There are several colors available, so you should be able to find something that fits your lifestyle.
What's impressive is you get about 9 hours of ANC on, and 11 hours with ANC off. The case adds 32 and 39 hours respectively. Placing your earbuds in the case will for 10 minutes will rapid charge giving you 2 hours of playback. The charging case is fairly large when it comes to earbuds in general. Carrying it around in your pocket may be awkward because of it's size. It does come with a keyring, so you could use it as a keychain, or hook it to your bag or purse.
The shape of these earbuds fit easily into my ear and are very comfortable. They come with various size tips and surrounds to get the right fit for your ear.
The earbuds already do an excellent job of passively blocking noise, but activating ANC takes it to a whole other level. "Stay Aware" let you actively hear noises around you, and can be adjusted for more or less awareness.
The earbuds also come with a low latency mode, but when I tested it out on my PC, it didn't make any difference with it on or off while gaming. It definitely had latency. The sound was obviously a step behind what was happening on screen, but it did work much better when watching YouTube videos on my PC.
You can adjust the sound via the Skull-iQ using the Equalizer option. The app in general is very easy to use and let's you easily change any of these settings. You also get Spotify Tap, which to be honest, I rarely use, but It's a nice feature to have.
Phone calls sound very clear and people on the other end of the line can also hear me very clearly as well.
The touch controls work flawlessly. I haven't had any false presses or missed presses so far.
The only downside I've have with these amazing earbuds is that the voice prompts are overly loud and muffled or distorted. Hopefully they can fix this with a firmware update.
Overall, I'm quite impressed with the Method 360 ANC earbuds by Skullcandy.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are some of the more unique earbuds I’ve come across, with a few features I’ve never seen before.
First off, the case has a keyring on it, but it’s also very large. It seems designed to hang from a purse or have keys attached to it, rather than be kept in your pocket. The case features a really nice sliding mechanism to open, which has a very satisfying motion and immediately activates the earbuds.
The earbuds themselves have a very tight fit, to the point that they almost feel like earplugs when you put them in. I’ll be honest, this is the kind of fit I typically avoid because I don’t like the “plugged” ear feeling. However, they aren’t as disorienting as other buds I’ve tried with a similar fit.
App-wise, these are likely the most customizable earbuds I’ve ever used. You can do virtually anything, including reprogramming the buttons and sequences to achieve some highly custom features. I think this is where these earbuds stand out the most.
As for sound, these are powered by Bose, and they do not disappoint. They sound like higher-tier earbuds and are overall very balanced. I’m impressed with the audio quality.
They also feature noise cancellation, but I don’t notice much of an effect when using them, again, likely because my ears already feel plugged when I wear them. I can sense it slightly, but if I didn’t know which setting I was on, I wouldn’t be able to say for sure whether noise canceling was turned off or on.
The only issue I’ve encountered is that they intermittently cut out on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. I’ve used them for many hours, all over my house and outside, and I keep having the same experience. They tend to cut out and stutter. cutting back in and out quickly. Everything seems to be updated, but I’m still experiencing this behavior.
Overall, they’re a really great set of earbuds. I probably won’t use them a lot because I don’t like the plugged-ear sensation, but they have great sound and are very secure when wearing them.

After exploring various options for gym earbuds, I initially considered the Powerbeats Pro 2 but ultimately decided to try the Method 360s, and I’m glad I did. As a current user of the Beats Fit Pro, I was experiencing some sound issues, so I was eager for a change.
The Method 360s have truly exceeded my expectations. For the price, they offer remarkable performance. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is impressive, and the bass response is excellent—perfect for my favorite genres of EDM and Hip-Hop. The sound quality at this price point is undeniably a win, providing a balanced audio experience.
One of the standout features for me is the fit. They sit comfortably in my ears, and I’ve experienced no ear fatigue even during my most intense workouts. I also took a call mid-session, and the person on the other end could tell I was using a headset but still heard me clearly, which is a significant plus.
I noticed there’s an update available once paired with the app, which I believe addresses the loud voice prompts that some users might find distracting.
While the case is on the larger side, it fits easily in my gym bag and is hardly noticeable, so it’s not a dealbreaker.
Overall, the Method 360s are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality earbuds for workouts. Highly recommended!

I have been using the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC with sound by Bose for a week now. It came with Method 360 ANC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, Charging Case, Ear Gels with S, M, L size and User Guide. Setup is quick via Bluetooth. With Clip Anywhere Design, it is effortless to carry with stand-out style.
The signature slider case and micro carabiner clips to the backpack, key ring or pants. The audio quality is outstanding, with deep bass, crisp highs, and clear mids, while listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, the sound is immersive and balanced. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) works great in blocking out background noise, allowing me to enjoy the audio even in noisy environments.
The buds are lightweight and comfortable to wear for extended periods. They come with multiple ear tip sizes, so it is easy to find a perfect fit. I had to try a few tips to get it just right, but once I did, they stayed securely in place even during workouts. The nature voice sidetone for calls is nice feature and either or sold bud can be used for music / calls.
The battery life is pretty solid up-to 38 hours, lasting around 9 hours on a full charge with ANC on, and the charging case provides an additional 29 hours. The case is compact and easy to carry around. They’re also IPX4-rated, making them sweat and water-resistant—perfect for gym-goers and outdoor activities. With Skull0IQ App, 3 preset EQ's can be customized and able to reconfigure the button functions, adjust the stay-aware setting and ANC modes.
Skullcandy Method 360 ANC is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds with premium sound, strong noise cancellation.

I prefer small earbuds, but I have issues with most brands trying to get them into the smallest case possible, and they’re difficult to remove. And once they are removed, because I was grabbing them with the tips of my fingers, I tend to drop them. These earbuds have a small footprint, but are also slightly elongated to make them easy to grasp. These earbuds have a sturdy, easy-to-open case that is also very secure, so I have no qualms about using the built-in loop to attach them to my backpack. With ANC off, the stated battery life is 11 hours with an additional 29 hours with the case and 9 hours with 23 in the case with ANC on. As an added plus, you can get about 2 hours of battery life out of a 2-hour charge. The earbuds come with S, M, and L-sized ear gels and separate fins to keep them firmly placed. The sound is great, which is expected since Skulcandy teamed up with Bose for this model! Aside from the ANC, you can customize other features in the Skull IQ App, including an adjustable stay-aware mode, EQ with 3 preset modes, and a custom mode. They also feature Google Fast Pair, and you can use either bud solo song with multi-point pairing. With their 4-mic Smart Mic setup, making phone calls with these is great! Callers have confirmed that my voice sounds very natural, with minimal wind interference.

The SkullCandy Method 360 ANC really surprised me. I have never owned any electronics of this brand and wow these are pretty amazing. First off the bat the case the earbuds come in is one of a kind I haven't seen anything like. So convenient that the case can be attached to any bag/purse or even a keychain, I kinda want to say they seem like a pepper spray container haha but it is not. This makes them practical and you will never forget to have them with you. The sound is super good as they are backed by BOSE which are known for quality sound so right there I knew these were going to be awesome as well.
The app gives you a variety of options to customize the earbuds to your liking.
One feature is using the left earbud as a remote to take pictures and videos.
These Skullcandy earbuds have the noise cancelling and stay aware options. The noise cancelling option really immerses you in the sound and beats of the music making it more enjoyable to listen, and also if you want to stay aware of your surroundings but still want to have music playing then this option is for you.
I would also like to mention that these come with extra ear gummies sizes for a better fit.
Now if you use them to exercise and sweat a lot make sure you keep your ears dry because these will slip off easily, something to keep in mind.

The Skullcandy METHOD 360 ANC (Active Noise Cancelation) True Wireless noise cancelling headphones with sound by Bose are an excellent pair of earbuds that have exceeded my expectations. The first time I put them on - I was sitting out by my pool with the fountains on and I couldn't believe I couldn't hear the water when I turned them on. They truly were noise cancelling. I have them in while I am typing this review and I cannot hear my nails on the keyboard. The earbuds are extremly comfortable to wear in my ear. They come with S, M, and L ear gels. The sound is great both for listening to songs as well as talking on the phone. The buttons are easy to manage and get used to to skip songs, pause, etc. I'm not an extemly activie person - but I haven't had any issue with them staying in while I walk. The case is great for any active person. It attachs easily to a backpack or a belt loop. My husband skates and this case would work out great for him. I feel it would be hard to lose. It's very easy to charge from the bottom of the case to a USB. It says they last for 40 hours. I haven't used them that long yet to know - but I haven't had to charge them yet. They say they rapid charge with only 10 minutes of charge equaling 2 hours.

I’ve used these a handful of times and so far I’m not disappointed. These are fantastic. They fit great in my ears, lightweight, and the sound is great.
I’m blown away that these offer so much at this price. The quality is impressive and it’s less than $100 before taxes. The base hits nicely for music and even does a great job if you’re connected for a phone call.
Pairing was pretty straightforward. Nothing complex, so you should be able to do it with ease. When it comes to charging, I noticed it was really quick. I feel like an hour of charging got me a full battery for these. My only ding is that it’s a usb outlet and not c port.
The sound quality is great. I was pleasantly surprised with how clear and clean sounding the audio is. I’m able to do some minor changes to really enhance the sound. Best of all? They teamed up with Bose to deliver an amazing sound.
Pros:
Bose partnership
Price
Feels great in the ear
Noise canceling
Long lasting battery
Water resistant
Different ear bud size options
Fast charge
Cons:
Case is a little wonky
Charging is usb and not c port
Overall:
Honestly, these are great if you’re looking for a quick upgrade. There are other great options, but you’re really not going to find a better deal at this price.

Being partnered with Bose, I wasn’t expecting the sound quality to be anything other than amazing, and I was not disappointed! The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC wireless earbuds sound very clear and crisp with the bass being delivered perfectly even. The highs and lows are great without the need to make any adjustments from genre to genre.
Call quality is acceptable, but the earbuds themselves are a bit too chunky for my ears so I wouldn’t reach for them to take a call. They do come with different sized ear wings and tips, but neither of them really worked well for me so earbuds became uncomfortable to wear after a while. And I’m really going to need Skullcandy to push through an update to reduce the volume of the voice prompts or provide another way to control them. Horrible and can really disrupt my flow!
Other than that, the earbuds hold a nice charge (even though it came with a ridiculously short charging cable). The case is an unusual design and it's odd the way the earbuds go in, but there's no worry of them falling out when you slide it open. And belt/key ring is a nice addition because you can easily hook it to your belt, purse or backpack.

Absolutely amazing, they produce great sound, being how the sound profile is designed and made by Bose, and they don’t fall out because of the fins around the sides, which has been a HUGE problem for me with my 2nd gen, and pro AirPods. The noise cancellation is the best I’ve used, and the transparency mode is good as well, while I have used some with better transparency, they definitely get the job done. I’d say the only downside to these is their battery life, while most people wouldn’t have any complaints, I wish the case had just a little bit more battery life, and wish the earbuds lasted just a little longer too, but they still will last the whole work day without the noise cancellation or transparency on. Skullcandy has been, and will continue to be one of my favorite audio brands, and I love seeing them team up with Bose to produce an absolutely fantastic product. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for good sound quality, and an earbud that won’t fall out.
