Skullcandy Push Active Headphones Are Now Under $40
The Skullcandy Push Active Wireless Headphones are currently on sale for $39.88, down from $79.99. These are 50% off headphones that are reportedly great for working out, with ear hooks that keep them snug during your workout (though they might not be the most comfortable if you wear glasses), and you can wear them to the gym at the gym or while jogging. outside without worrying about sweat or water damage. Their IP55 rating means they can withstand sweat and light rain. However, the case is not waterproof (so dry the headphones before putting them back in).
These headphones do a good job with sound thanks to 6mm dynamic drivers and a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz – nothing earth-shattering, but well worth the price. You can control them using buttons on the headphones or using voice commands, which let you launch Spotify, share audio, and take photos hands-free. There’s a slight catch, however: According to PCMag’s review , voice commands don’t work unless the Skullcandy app has been recently opened, which can be a nuisance.
On the other hand, the companion app Skullcandy offers customizable EQ settings and Tile tracking, although you’ll need the Tile app for that. There’s also an awareness mode that lets you hear surrounding sounds for those who want to be aware of their surroundings. As for battery life, it’s pretty reliable, with around 10 hours of runtime on a single charge (according to Skullcandy), although your mileage may vary depending on your usage.
If you’re looking for an alternative with a more premium feel, the Jabra Elite 7 Active may be worth a look, priced at $159.99 (down from $179.99).
