Skullcandy DIME EVO PEANUTS Review

The Skullcandy DIME EVO PEANUTS are their latest collab and one many will like and will want to own, having covered the Dime Evo before nothing much has changed apart for the look and feel of the product and these collabs are great to see and again we have covered many over the years which you can find here on site.

You have access to the Skullcandy app allowing you to take control of the earbuds with a custom EQ and stansrd EQs on doard which all work really well together, there is no change in the audio which was already great and there is no ANC but they have a good seal which gives a decent seal and in a quite room turned up to the max they sound great and you will hear nothing else.

There is also the option to take photos from your earbuds which again is demoed in the video review down below and you have your voice assistant on board too.

There is adjustable stay aware which is great for those who want to hear their surroundings and clear voice smart mic for calls which also works really well you can alo pair to two devices which like me you use two products a win and swap over fast.

Battery life is decent for their size too however this will vary on your settings as always with earbuds and headphones. Overall the sound is geat no tinny sound or distortion when turned up to the max and all pretty good for the price you cant really complain.

Available in four colours and featuring Snoopy, Woodstock, and the gang, the limited-edition collection combines Skullcandy’s much loved Dime Evo earbuds with the lighthearted spirit of Charles Schulz’s beloved characters. Just like Snoopy dancing in his doghouse, these headphones bring together joy, imagination, and world-class audio making then the perfect gift just in time for the Christmas season!

Skullcandy METHOD 360 ANC Review

The Skullcandy METHOD 360 ANC are the latest earbuds now on offer from brand who this time have teamed up with BOSE and all for the better and as a regular user of Skullcandy products these knock it out of the park when it comes to the audio experience for the price you pay and stick it up to more expensive earbuds.

These come in a really cool case too which sweeten the deal for me as I like cases that are not traditional cases earbuds usually come in and they have a caribiner type lock for your bag or jeans etc.

The earbuds themselves also look cool with a nice solid build and also ear wings to give you a more secure fit, these will not budge and do try them all for the perfect seal and fit which gives you the best audio results and they give great passive noise isolation when fitted too without even touching the app.

The audio experience here is better than expected yet again in fact it is great and powered by BOSE and with the Skull-iQ app you are in control here.

Highs lows and mids great no lag latency and super bass and loud, with the controls which we go through in the video below you have multiple options at hand to get the perfect sound stage for you which only enhances the full audio experience which is one of the best at this price I have seen in a long time.

Overall you will not be dissapointed here with the complete package and for the price it again begs the question for the need to fork out silly money for earbuds these days and moreover they come in an exciting range of colours too..

Tony Hawk Joins The Skullcandy Team as Newest Brand Ambassador

Lifestyle audio brand Skullcandy continues to expand its team of notables in the surf, snowboard, and skateboarding landscape with the addition of a new brand ambassador, the legendary skateboarder and cultural icon, Tony Hawk. Hawk joins a stacked team of skateboarders, including Andrew Reynolds, Nora Vasconcellos and Louie Lopez. His authentic connection to music, skate culture, and community makes him a perfect fit for Skullcandy’s fearless and forward-thinking brand ethos.

Tony Hawk’s accomplishments on and off his skateboard have helped to make him one of the most recognizable figures in skateboarding and pop culture. He has pioneered the creation of more than 80 tricks in vert skateboarding, including the legendary 900. His Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game series, first launched in 1999, has exposed countless people to skateboarding, creating a new path for fans to participate in Skate.

His charitable foundation, The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation), has awarded over $13 million in grants to over 660 skatepark projects throughout the United States. From revolutionizing vert skating to shaping generations through his video games, nonprofit work, and popular podcast “Hawk vs Wolf,” Tony continues to push boundaries and inspire progression on and off the board.

“Welcoming Tony to the Skullcandy family is the latest example of how we’re strengthening our authentic connection to skateboarding and adjacent cultures,” said Justin Regan, VP of Brand at Skullcandy. “Tony represents everything Skullcandy stands for—fearless expression, lasting impact, and love for the lifestyle. He’s not just a pro skater—he’s a movement. And that movement has always had a soundtrack.”

Hawk’s passion for music has been a lifelong thread in his story—whether it’s the punk tracks that fueled early contest runs or the playlists he curates today. A longtime fan and customer of Skullcandy, Tony has been purchasing headphones and earbuds for himself and his family for over two decades.

“I’ve always appreciated Skullcandy’s commitment to the skate community, music, and doing things their own way,” said Hawk. “I’ve used their products for years and am excited to officially partner with a brand that aligns with my culture and values.”

Stay tuned for exclusive content, product drops, and campaign collaborations with Tony Hawk as Skullcandy continues to redefine what it means to be a lifestyle audio brand rooted in board sports and creative self-expression.

Skullcandy Push ANC Active review

Recently we checked out the latest earbuds from Skullcandy which was their new Skullcandy SESH ANC active and they are an excellent pair of earbuds and now it is time for their next offering the Push ANC Active which is ideal for those who want some more and into sports. They are quite similar in looks to the Push Active Burton and TNMT limited edition we also done but with some subtle changes

On getting started you will need to update the software so be sure to get this done for optimal performance and next up is doing creating your personal sound profile which should be done in a quite spot at home or in your office if possible, the test will take 3-4 minutes.

Once set up and the right tips for your ears you are good to go and get listening to some great audio.

Build quality is good as always from the brand and the presentation also the standard affair which stands out on a shelf in a shop we are now seeing this in more shops than ever and good to see and not only that I now see more people in public wearing Skullcandy earbuds and headphones.

Battery life is excellent here and more so if you are not using ANC and EQ profiles with high volumes and ANC on you can expect near the 60 hours claim made by the brand and who buys ANC earbuds and does not use it, the ANC is decent it has to be said and works well and so does all the hearing modes like stay aware which allows you hear your surroundings.

There are two sets of controls. Yes one for the volume keys and then your touch area on the Skullcandy logo which both work well these can also be customized to your own needs which again is great. You will see this and how it works in the video review below so check it out and not only can you listen to music you can take photos from your earbuds again this is not a new feature with Skullcandy but one that you do not see much of full stop and is cool.

The audio is what you want to hear about and again this is another well executed product with the EQs you can decide which suits you best, highs lows and mids are good and super bass and decent volume call quality is good and no issues both ends on my testing. NO lag latency noted or tinny sound and you also have a gaming mode built in which works well if you are a gamer and again this is no a more common feature dropped into affordable earbuds now.

For those who want choice and options these are a good buy and a solid pair of earbuds Skullcandy users will like if you have not tried the brand before perhaps these might be an option to put on your list, one small caveat I might see is the case size which offers wireless charging so me me this is fine given the case is larger than most.

The App

Features

58 Hours of Listening – Never miss a beat with Push ANC Active’s long-lasting battery life designed to keep one moving
IP67 Rating – Dust, sweat and waterproof, these earbuds are constructed to get one through any adventure
