Pros:
The app is great. I started by pairing the buds and setting up my sound profile, which took 10-15 minute of sound tests. In the app, I can customize all the controls and settings, which is more than I've ever had with any headphones (these are my first actual wireless buds). I haven't tried things like the voice assistant or audio sharing, but I did set up the included Tile integration, which helped me find these a couple times already, so I highly suggest setting that up. Stay-aware is a great feature idea. If I'm the only one home, I'll turn that on so I can hear if the dogs need to go out, but it hugely affects the experience of what I'm listening to, so I usually have it off. I imagine it's much more useful while working outside, mowing the lawn, etc. Additionally, in the app, I can see the power levels of each ear bud.
Cons:
There's two things I've seen with this. First is that I believe the buds should charge from the case even when the case is not plugged in but has power. I'm not convinced it's doing this all the time. Second, and more important is the connectivity. 95% of the time, there's no problem, but on a few occasions I've had trouble getting them to connect or stay connected. While it's very rare, it's very frustrating when it happens.
Over all, I'm happy with them and enjoying the amount of features and quality for the price.

Not new to the brand. Always found Skull Candy decently priced and usable. I’m not really an ear bud person. I prefer over the ear headphones (I’ve been rocking the Crusher wireless for about 8 years now).
Anyhow. I needed some portable buds I can leave at work as the funky, cheap, wired foam ones from work gives for free weren’t cutting it. Constantly got complaints my voice was muffled and unclear. These seemed to fit the bill.
Cheap- affordable, didn’t break my budget, if someone steals them I can buy another set. I’ve had worse that cost more.
Bluetooth- connects rather quickly. Way easier to pair between multiple devices than my Crushers. Can seamlessly switch between PC and my phone when I need to without needing to forget the previous device.
Sound quality- Decent. They aren’t top tier. If your and audiophile these are not for you. But conversations, meetings, music, podcasts are all audible and clear. They do randomly cut out frequently which is more irritating each time it happens. Also, my left bud has quit working while wearing them more than once. The right one keeps working. To solve it I have to place it back in the case, close the case, and let it re-pair. I suggest keeping the case with you all the time.
App- haven’t really used it much since the purpose was mostly for work meetings. If I delve into it I’ll update.
Mic- voice command works. Reviewers mentioned muffled voice but I haven’t had any negative feedback since I switched to these. Which is awesome since voice quality was part of the reason I was looking to buy these. During phone calls while driving I do get told the background noise is louder than usual (traffic, wind, wipers). So the mic picks up more than it should.
Battery life- So far they exceed expectation. I did a weeks worth of training videos every day and didn’t need to recharge the case. Every morning they were at 100%. A full 40 hour week in use and no need to charge. That’s a win.

Old review:
One earbud stopped working after 11 months of use
The sound was great, but planned obsolescence seems to be what too many electronic companies participate in, in order to get more sales. But this customer won't ever buy from them again.
I tried all of their troubleshooting steps, on both the documentation that came with the earbuds and the ones on their website (which were the same), but it didn't help. I would contact support directly but they don't offer it past a certain time after purchase. I didn't rate the noise cancellation because I never used it.
My wired ZeroAudio earbuds, however, still work after almost 7 years of use. I've accidentally yanked them out of my ears so many times while exercising or mowing, but they still sound great. Ironically, the earbud in the photo with the blue light on is the one that doesn't play any sound.

My problem is the following.
1. This may just my experience, but they tend to fall out. Maybe I have wonky ears.
2. They do not charge half the time. Ones red, the other blue, Neither is red, both are red. Ones at 50% the other is at 90%. putting them back in the charger required wiggling and twisting to get them to light up (start charging)
Yeah, good sound, horrible charge design. the pogo pin charge method? Not well designed.

Lo uso aprox 3:30 hrs diarias, y la batería de la caja me dura aprox 1 semana completa
This experience has been quite disappointing as I was looking forward to enjoying the reputed sound quality of Skullcandy products. The malfunctioning left side has hindered my ability to fully appreciate the audio experience these earbuds are known for.
I have reached out to customer service for a replacement or refund which will lead me to my last try to acquire an functional product, and I am hopeful that they will address this issue promptly. However, this initial encounter has left me feeling let down by the quality control of Skullcandy products.
In conclusion, my first impression of these earbuds has been marred by this defect, and I hope that the next unit will meet the expected standards of functionality and performance.
