Skullcandy is known for offering premium earphones and headphones to the audiophiles with a blend of style and comfort. Recently the company unveiled its Method Sport Wireless earbuds for the Indian market at a price of Rs 5,299. Is it worth shelling out your money? Let’s find out.
The earbuds come with rubber wires attached to a FlexSport collar that sits comfortable around user’s neck. Unlike the Ink’d Wireless, the Method Sport Wireless earbud comes with a hard collar giving users a better grip. The new earbuds are ideal to wear while running or workout sessions.
The collar houses the volume rockers, a built-in microphone for calls alongside an LED light and the charging port. The collar also packs in a battery that claims to offer a backup of 9 hours. However, we managed to use the Method Sport Wireless for only about 6 hours on a single charge. We noticed that the device struggles while receiving calls, the caller is unable to hear your voice most of the times.
Skullcandy has smartly stuffed features in the volume buttons. Users can switch tracks by pressing the volume key for 3 seconds. Pressing the play/pause button for 3 seconds will allow users to pair their smartphones with the Method Sport Wireless.
The Method Sport Wireless is a super lightweight earphone, weighing only 24 grams, also the collar is adjustable, making it even more comfortable for user’s collar bone.
Talking of the audio quality, the Method Sport Wireless offer a decent audio output and crisp sound quality, and are capable of eliminating the ambient noise. The only aspect this earphone disappoints is the bass level. It will probably leave the bassheads dissatisfied.
Overall the Skullcandy Method Sport Wireless are a good offering but at a hefty price point. You might wanna give it a miss if you are looking for an earphone with good bass and crisp low range music.
However, the earbuds are the probably the best audio companion you can have while working out. It can be a good bargain for users in search of a handy, stylish and lightweight earphone that offers decent audio quality. Also you get a Skullcandy tag for your gadget portfolio which makes it worth buying.
