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.
Features
Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life + Rapid Charge – 10 minutes of charging gives you 2 hours of playtime • Charge From Your Phone with Integrated USB-C Charging Cable
Premium Audio Quality with Microphone in Each Earbud

With another new collaboration from Skullcandy we have the latest Skullcandy X TMNT push active earbuds which comes in a Green themed 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 44 hours of battery life and you have got rapid charge built in via USB – C
We have reviewed these before with the first Push Active Skull-IQ and with the Burton X and nothing has changed really only this time you get the TMNT branding on board here and for those who remember them as kids will certainly want to check these out.
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 it has been one of my favourite features on earbuds and yet not seen too much in the detail you get here and what you can get done with no hands required.
There is 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.The app has now more features this time around too which is a nice addition and good to see them improving as time goes on.
Check the video review below for a more in depth look.
Overall these are something we have seen before more than once but what is great with these and Skullcandy is their collabs they are getting giving your headphones earbuds and more a twist that not many will have and if you are a teenage mutant ninja turtle fan why not treat yourself.
The Skullcandy GROM Wireless headphones for kids are a new range of headphones that also come in a wired version for kids that want the best in audio and simplicity to use with no fuss and these super lightweight headphones do all this and keep it simple. They are very comfortable to wear too by the way and no clamping effect like some headphones suffer with.
The presentation is as we expect from Skullcandy and that is one that will stand out and kept simple too and the same for inside the box with some leaflets cables and we also get some stickers now which is nice and destined for my new laptop.
The headphones could not be easier to use with all the controls on one side and you can tap the cup to make some commands which is super simple and means no buttons for kids to be fooling around with, I like this idea and we have seen gesture controlled headphones before but this idea work just as well. You also have a port to share your audio with someone else too which is neat.
All the controls are on one side of which allows you to pair up, use your voice assistant skip and reverse tracks and volume control you can also control your calls here too. With the volume wheel you can override the volume and you need to give a slightly more hard push to move it along and get to the max volume which is decent and of course safe protecting kids ears.
There is no app here again kept simple and they just connect via Bluetooth and job done if you run out of juice you can still use the traditional route of the 3.5mm cable provided in the box.
When it comes to sound well they are for kids and I have to take into consideration my thoughts and the thoughts of others and being honest it is perfectly fine and with the Skullcandy signature sound kids will not be disappointed and the music is crisp and clear with no distortion or lag latency noted during my testing, highs lows and mids all fine too and any genre of music will sound great and for all the family and relations kids that tested them where happy.
Check the video below for all the details and how to use the latest kids headphones from Skullcandy.

The Skullcandy KILO Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is one of their latest additions to their portfolio of tech which comes in several flavours being Black, Astro Dust Blue blaze and Light Grey and we have been testing the Black version which by all means is easy to maintain coming with an IPX7 rating which means it can be brought anywhere.
The presentation is as normal from Skullcandy coming in their standout packaging and giving details on the box before you delve in which you can see below in the unboxing and video review.
This speaker is durable and rugged and as mentioned can be used anywhere so it can be taken to the beach picnic and even for a shower if you fancy doing so and it comes with a carabiner clip to make it even easier to hang somewhere.
You can connect two of these guys together if you want to make a statement but we have just the one but on its own it still makes a statement and plenty loud, there is no app to go along with it but this is common with speakers and I think users will be please for their money here considering the other benefits you get with it.
This is a decent sized speaker and not too big meaning it is portable and manageable too so can be placed in your travel bag or tech bag if like me to bring along and blast out the sounds. The controls are simple to use and tactile too and easy to get the commands right first go and we go through all this in the full video review below.
Overall this speaker packs a punch with some nice bass thrown in and loud enough to fill a decent sized room in any house or even your back garden.

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.
Tech specs tied to EcoBuds include:
Up to 8 Hours of Battery Life + Rapid Charge – 10 minutes of charging gives you 2 hours of playtime • Charge From Your Phone with Integrated USB-C Charging Cable

EcoBuds are now available at select retailers and Skullcandy.co.uk, inviting consumers to embrace sustainability without compromising on performance.
