Skull Skullcandy is a fashion brand in headphones, but do players know that Skullcandy founder Rick Alden is not convenient to answer the phone when skiing to germinate the idea of making Skullcandy wireless headphones, so Skullcandy headphones are born with extreme sports genes, although there is no particularly gorgeous shape, but the collision of personality LOGO and fashion trends can always bring players a different experience, For friends who use iPhones and like to wear headphones to listen to music when exercising, Skull headphones are a very good partner, Skullcandy Push Active is skull's new headphones, Chinese skull sports bean smart version, for skiing, skateboarding and other sports enthusiasts to create, Fully upgraded to Bluetooth 5.2 and voice assistant Skull-iQ collocation, and the price is relatively close to the people, I started this headset, through the actual experience of two weeks, to give the player who likes this headset a real experience reference.

Unlike many packaging that advocate minimalist design, Skullcandy Push Active's packaging box is the opposite, carefully observe the above information is very much, in addition to the main function of the headset, almost covers most of the content on the manual, black and gradient orange three-stage color matching and the color of the inside of the headphone charging compartment, the style is very fresh, plus Skullcandy's brand logo, very recognizable.
Inside the box there is a charging compartment and accessory box for headphones, the volume of the charging compartment is relatively large, and there is the Skullcandy skull logo on the front, and its brand logo is everywhere.
Skullcandy Push Active's accessories include two additional sets of size earbud cases, each with the Skullcandy logo on it, which is unique to skulls, and although there are many earbud sets, the skull is meant to be different from other headphones.
Also different is its type-C charging cable, USB interface open contacts, full of Skullcandy elements, highlighting different designs, which are not available in other headphone accessories.
A personal look
The version of skull Skullcandy Push Active that I started with is dazzling black orange, in addition to this color scheme there are also dark blue green, cold gray blue two colors, I still prefer the appearance of low-key inner turmoil of the dazzling black orange, of course, the other two colors are also very personality, fashion and sporty elements throughout the entire design style of the headphones.
Skull Skullcandy Push Active charging compartment is larger than the ordinary true wireless headphones, it can be stuffed with a larger battery life to last more, with the charging compartment Skullcandy Push Active's comprehensive endurance reached 34 hours, very scary, running 1 hour a day can listen to a month, the headphones fully charged endurance time also reached 10 hours, there is no endurance anxiety at all. Its charging interface adopts TPYE-C and has an orange silicone protective sleeve.
The shell of the charging compartment adopts a matte scrub design, the touch is mild, it is not easy to leave fingerprints, although it is made of plastic, but the texture is relatively light, the weight of the whole machine is 63.5g for easy carrying, and there are four power indicators on the front that represent 25% of the power. The opening method is a magnetic design, there is basically no gap around the periphery, and there is a certain waterproof and dustproof ability.
Open the charging compartment, and against the bright orange inner cover, skullcandy Push Active is attached side by side in the charging compartment. The appearance of the two headphones is larger than the average true wireless headphones, with orange physical buttons on them, sports earhooks embedded in them, and different left and right ear designs so they will not be misplaced.
Skullcandy Push Active sports headphones by headphones and earhooks, although it is an integrated design but the earhooks and earbuds are as soft silicone material, the front has a power indicator and skull logo, it has a unique design is orange physical buttons, in the current true wireless headphones, physical buttons are very few, because the design of Skullcandy Push Active features buttons without obvious stethoscope effect, its function is very powerful, You can customize the settings.

Stable sound quality with strong bass
In terms of unit horns, Skullcandy Push Active is equipped with a 6mm horn with an impedance of 22 ohms and a sensitivity of 112dB. I auditioned a variety of types of music over a two-week period, including vocal pop music and instrumental rock music, and deeply experienced the performance of low frequency, medium frequency, and high frequency, specifically Skullcandy Push Active continued Skullcandy's long-term positioning and focused on bass performance, which is also the effect that many similar headphones mainly want to bring to the listener. Due to the ample space of the headset, it can bring the listener a relatively open sound field, the vibration unit is very close to the ear canal, do not need to exert too much power to present rich details, the bass of the movement is the place where the hearing gap is, in terms of medium and high frequency, although it is not Skullcandy's strength, it can also show the more comprehensive details of the human voice, but it is slightly harsh, the sound of the instrumental music is relatively blurred, suitable for listening to strong rock music with bass, which is also Skullcandy Push Active as a sports headphones want to highlight the features.
