Tech Review – Skullcandy EcoBuds Sustainable earbuds

The Skullcandy Ecobuds are the latest edition to their earbuds collection which are aiming at the environment all round but not forgetting their audio prowess either at an affordable price.

Coming with a new look charging case and a built in cable these look well out of the box and a different approach to their case and how they charge which is through your smartphone or tablet with a USB-C connection, you can off course opt to plug into a wall but charging this handy and different and then you have no need to worry about forgetting a cable with you as it is right there on the case.

The fit is secure with the  design and will not fall out of your ears they are a perfect fit with the right tips giving an excellent seal which is the best way to use your earbuds, always check the tips to get the best seal.

The sound here is great and I expected no less,based on the Dime series earbuds the controls have all the features you would expect to find here with plenty to keep you going and their EQ mode is excellent here given there is no app this time around.

Controls

Hold for one second on left and right for volume up and down

Track forward and reverse tap twice on left and right

Voice assistant tap the right earbud for 4 seconds

EQ change is tap`the left earbud for 4 seconds

Play and pause is a single tap on either

The sound overall is great and well balanced and I am not complaining one bit here they have done a great job with decent volume and a full suite of controls for calls and music with no lag latency or tinny sound and you will be impressed at what is given here.

Overall you can’t go wrong for what you get here and their mission and they also look cool and with a built in cable you are always covered should you need to charge up.

Skullcandy Launches EcoBuds: Revolutionary Sustainable Earbuds with Battery-Free Charging

Skullcandy announced today its newest EcoBuds True  Wireless Earbuds, the brand’s most sustainable product to date. The new, environmentally conscious earbuds are made with 65 percent certified recycled plastics, 57 percent less heavy  metals and boast a 50 percent lower carbon footprint than comparable products on the market for  a fraction of the cost, making sustainability accessible to all. EcoBuds is available now globally at  select retailers and on Skullcandy.co.uk for £29.99 MSRP. 

EcoBuds are thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind from the start. After conducting an  environmental impact analysis using third-party partner Ecochain, Skullcandy found lithium batteries  to be one of the worst carbon offenders for true wireless electronics. EcoBuds’ battery-free case  design, coupled with reduced virgin plastics, achieves a 1.35kg CO2eq total carbon footprint,  marking a 50% reduction from similar products. Meanwhile, the buds still offer eight hours of  battery life as well as a built-in USB-C cable, Rapid Charge and the ability to reverse charge from  your phone on-the-go–perfect for all-day use.

Designed for the eco-conscious consumer, EcoBuds’ small form factor and fewer, more sustainable  components make for the best eco-friendly offering on the market at a more accessible price point,  without compromising sound quality or performance. The open-case design limits plastic use, while  built-in magnets keep the buds secure in the case. The buds feature a minimal design featuring a  blue and white marble pattern paying tribute to the natural landscapes Skullcandy aims to protect.
