Skullcandy Revives Icon Franchise with All-New Icon ANC Headphones

Skullcandy announces the return of its iconic headphone franchise with the launch of the all-new Icon ANC. Nearly 20 years after the original Icon headphones made waves in the boardsports community, the new and improved Icon ANC is here to elevate the listening experience with active noise cancellation, sweat- and water-resistance, and an impressive 60 hours of battery life. Icon ANC is available globally now for $99.99 MSRP at Skullcandy.com and select retailers nationwide. 

“The original Icon was a true fan favorite in the boardsport community. We took our fans’ requests to heart and gave it a stylish and versatile makeover that’s perfect for any adventure,” said Justin Regan, VP of Marketing at Skullcandy. “Transcending its heritage, Icon ANC is all about embracing an active lifestyle for a new generation. From the slopes to the streets, these headphones aren’t just an accessory—they’re a statement.”

This time around, the Icon ANC isn’t just for boardsports; it’s designed as an active-capable, everyday headphone that seamlessly blends style and performance into any daily routine. Icon ANC redefines the standard for on-ear headphones with features like active noise cancellation—something the majority of competitors’ on-ear headphones don’t offer.

The modernized Icon ANC also offers unparalleled comfort and distraction-free listening both on and off the mountain. With an IPX4 rating for sweat- and water-resistance, these headphones are designed to withstand any environment. The durable metal headband and plush earcups ensure maximum comfort, while the included protective travel bag makes them easy to take anywhere. The Adjustable Stay-Aware mode ensures that users can remain aware of their surroundings when needed. With up to 60 hours of battery life, Icon ANC is built to keep the soundtrack going long after the day’s adventures have ended.

Icon ANC is available in both a black and bone colorway. Additional details surrounding Icon ANC include:

Tech Review – New Bee Z12 RGB Headphones Stand Holder With Wireless Charging

The New Bee Z12 RGB Headphones Stand Holder with Wireless Charging is a multifunction stand that can charge several devices at once and looks cool on any desk you can also data transfer if you wish but I can see this being used as mainly a charging device and also decorative for a setup you might have or just starting out with one.

It takes about two minutes to set up and you are good to go and comes with a USB charging cable so you just need to find a plug or spare socket on an existing device or even your own laptop or PC.

Once set up you have all your ports on the back and a power switch that doubles as the RGB light control which you can see how all of this works in the video review below, it gives a nice glow to your workspace or bedside locker for example with all the colours available and breathing light for nice effects.

The headphones stand itself is not wireless charging but you can simply connect a cable to the main unit and charge there, then you have wireless charging which can charge your earbuds and even mobile phones which for me is quite handy at my desk and now shall remain part of my set up to store headphones in review and earbuds as we check out many of them and of course phone cases for existing phones we use.

Overall this is an affordable product with many functions and can keep your desk tidy too and looks well with the RGB lights on, see more in the video below.

Keeping your space tidy can be a challenge and for me it is a daily one due to my work and all the products around I have in for review and this applies to my work space and my bedside locked which I have some control of as I keep the tech to a minimum there with mostly what is in line for review as for me that includes earbuds and headphones and so on so it is important to have something to minimize the space use and this product fro X/Layout is one to help me out called the X-Plant.

The product is well built and solid and can do multiple things at once and it also has a space for storing your headphones, this part however does not charge them there is also a shelf behind the see- through panels to store small items which is neat and there is two shelves here which can be removed, there is 5 light effects inside this panel too that gives it a nice effect.

You can charge you mobile phones and earbuds and other compatible products which is hand and up to 10watts of power is available, there is then a small branch like structure on the end which is made with quality material and you can hang your keys or smartwatches there, this can be used to hold other products and for me it will be my smartwatches which gives me simple access and walk away and the same for putting them on.
