Skullcandy ANC Earbuds Tuned by Bose Are Going for Peanuts, a Great Budget Alternative to Bose
When is the incredible Bose sound created by earbuds not made by Bose? When you click the buy button on this 27% off Amazon deal on the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC wireless earbuds and score that Bose sound plus optimal noise cancellation and many more great features for just $95. Skullcandy and Bose combined forces on these Amazon's Choice-winning wireless earbuds, bringing the distinctive Bose sound to the comfort, accessibility, and distinctive design of Skullcandy's earbuds. The Skull-iQ app controls the Method ANC earbuds and lets you do everything from choose a preset EQ to reconfiguring the button functions on the buds themselves. Even with active noise cancellation turned on, the Method 360 ANC buds give you an amazing 32 hours of battery life (9 in the buds, 23 in the charging case). See at Amazon No matter what brand name is on the label, Sound by Bose always means pro-level high fidelity sound that comes through crystal clear with immersive depth of range. The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are tuned and optimized to meet Bose's lofty standards, with three preset EQs you can access through the Skull-iQ app, or you can create one of your own once you hit the perfect balance for you. The active noise cancellation in the Skullcandy Method 360 buds is also top notch, with four mics picking up and eliminating the sounds of your surroundings. There's a Stay Aware mode that gives you the option of disappearing completely into your music or podcast, or letting in enough of your surroundings to be safe and alert. Either bud can be worn solo, and the Method 360 buds also feature multipoint pairing, Google Fast Pair, and Auto On/Connect. They work equally well when paired with iPhones or Android phones. The distinctive Skullcandy charging case has a built-in look and metal ring perfect for being clipped anywhere — lanyards, carabiners, inside hooks in backpacks or briefcases, anywhere that's most convenient for you, knowing the Method 360 buds are safely secured and within reach. With IPX4 sweat and water resistance making them the ideal workout buds, clipping them to your gym bag is a natural fit. Premium Bose sound does not always have to come with the premium price tag that often accompanies Bose wireless earbuds. The Skullcandy Method 360 buds are the product of an awesome collaboration with Bose, and when you factor in Amazon's 27% off deal that drops the price from an already accessible $130 to a bargain $95, it's the best price point to find that Bose sound.
