Tech Review – Skullcandy X Burton Mod True Wireless Earbuds

The Skullcandy mod are an affordable pair of earbuds with style and good sound packed in and this time around they have a new coat so to speak with a new collaboration with Burton which brings a more stansoutish look and garner attention like their other models available which I like, I am fed up with the boring same coloured earbuds and headphones and these are fine by me even though they are most suited to the ladies.

We have again a simple earbuds that sits well in the ear and block out most of the outside world once the right tips are fitted which something everyone should do with new earbuds., The controls work really well on these as before and I like them as they have a button underneath the Skullcandy logo, the commands are on point and you can see more in the video review below and what the app entails which enhances the user experience which is most welcome at this price point too.

The earbuds hold up to 7 hours of play time, and the case fully charges the buds more than 3 times between plug-ins. Plus, with Rapid Charge, just 10 minutes of charging will give you 2 hours of play time though this will vary on volume and EQ settings but from my testing they are not far off the claims here perhaps 30 mins or so with max volume on and high bass which is better this time around than the Push Active.

Overall the audio experience is good here despite no ANC but you have access to the app as seen below and more features than usual at this price including tile etc. Calls are fine here too and not forgetting multipoint connections either which is useful for many people these days carrying more than one device.

The App

Jake Burton Carpenter spent more than four decades advancing snowboard design and fighting for lift access for snowboarders at resorts around the world. Skullcandy was born on one of those chairlifts with a snowboard (probably a Burton) strapped to our founder’s feet. Without Burton, snowboarding would not be what it is today. In a way, Skullcandy might not be either.

Tech Review – Skullcandy X Burton Push Active True Wireless Earbuds

In the latest collaboration with Skullcandy we have the Burton Mod True wireless which comes in a fancy looking case as was before and slightly larger than others only this time this one looks better and stands out which looks cool. It has a nice finish and feel to the case and non slippy which is helpful due to its size but still this case gives you up to 34 hours of battery life and you have got rapid charge built in via USB – C

Now we have reviewed these before in their first iteration and nothing much has changed to be frank and honest about it and they still stand up to their merits back then as they do now. One thing that I loved most about these is the voice control options which you still today do not see.

These also fit really well too and have over ear hooks that goes around the ear and will not fall out of your ears,even for the most active folk and can be worn jogging or in the gym, there is one button on each side for controls but they have a new trick up their sleeve and buttons do not have to be used at all and you can just say “Hey Skullcandy” to do what you need them to do, more on this in the video below you need to see this in action.

At the price you pay here you get great sound however no ANC but this is fine with the really secure fit you will not hear much going on outside anyway unless outdoors in a noisy environment, with my ususal test loop they performed really well, highs lows and mids are fine and a good balance overall and then you have the app to play around with too with the EQ settings and also edit the button controls too which is excellent.

Check the video review below for a more in depth look.

First Look – Skullcandy X Burton limited-edition Push Active and Mod True wireless earbuds

Recently Skullcandy launched another collaboration and this time it is with Burton, in recent times the company has had several collabs which we have been delighted to cover and have a hands on experience with and long may these collaborations continue, For example there was the Doritos edition Capcom Street Fighter edition and Skullcandy Inequality Crusher headphones.

“Jake Burton Carpenter spent more than four decades advancing snowboard design and fighting for lift access for snowboarders at resorts around the world. Skullcandy was born on one of those chairlifts. Without Burton, snowboarding wouldn’t be what it is today. In a way, Skullcandy might not be either,” said Derek Steiner, director of global brand partnerships, Skullcandy.

Both a Skullcandy and Burton ambassador, Olympic Gold Medalist and three-time female Snowboarder of the Year Anna Gasser, lends her image to the Skullcandy x Burton collaboration. She not only drives progress in her sport but in her community as well, pushing boundaries and inspiring up-and-comers to follow their dreams.

“With similar backgrounds and philosophies, this collaboration with Burton has been a long time coming,” Steiner continued. “A collection with a look this loud, needs serious performance to back it up and Skullcandy’s Crusher Evo, Push Active and Mod deliver just that. We hope this unique collab inspires our fans to express themselves on the mountain and in life, always daring to venture down the road less traveled.” 

Today we have a first look at the latest and if you want our full review we shall have one, again these are products that we have reviewed on site before however freshened up wit their latest collab and look really good.
