Skullcandy Method 360 ANC review: A cheaper version of Bose’s best earbuds, with a few key sacrifices


Skullcandy and Bose have teamed up to essentially create a budget version of the latter's QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, with everything the phrase "budget version" implies.

Each earpiece is slightly heavier and more plastic-y — and Bose’s pair was already on the bulky side — but the soft ear gels and stability fins help them fit snug without creating too much pressure. It cuts out a fair chunk of the bassy rumble of an NYC subway train, but higher-pitched screeches and stop announcements are very much audible with music playing at moderate volumes. Call quality isn’t great, either: The mic does well to limit background noise, but it struggles with wind and makes your voice sound noticeably thin and processed.
