Before launching its new $ 100 Method 360 Anc Erbuds in the city of Newouort, Skullcandy surpassed new buds as “the most bravest audio product of 2025, which has a partnership that you didn't see.” Whether the 360 Anc method is the bravest audio product of the year is questionable, but I was certainly surprised to find out that Skullcandy joined the forces with Bose to create what is essentially the budgetary version of Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra Ultra.

I just used the 360 Anc method for a day – they are now available in 5 color options – but I was mostly impressed by new buds, which sound better than most ears in this price class. From the design point of view, they share many of the ultra -ultra ultra -ultra -ultra -ear features, with a similar shape and stabilizing “fit” fins, but they are lighter and have no more top finish and the overall feeling of those expensive buds. That said, they offer a similar fit – and with that I think they are pretty comfortable and stay in your ears very safely after you set the buds set with the proper combo on tips and fins (3 sizes each are included).
The buds come in 5 color options.
Method 360 Jumumbo The case has a plis and minuses
That glittering difference between the 360 Anc and Ultra Eltra Earbuds of Bose as well as a step-down Quiet comfort ears ($ 179), is the 360 method for charging Anc. It's big – maybe too big for some people – and it's a little uncomfortable to get the buds in the case. Yes, the case still fits into the pocket or can be cut into a backpack or jacket. But compared to the cases of filling the highest wireless ears, it's pretty jumbo. There is also no wireless charging.
On the plus side, the case has a special vibration of skulycandy-em and I like how it slides open/closes and how the piston o-ring is integrated in the case. It also has a large battery that keeps an additional 23 hours of battery life when the case is fully charged. The buds are evaluated for 9 hours of battery life by giving up noise for or 32 hours (with juice in the case) and 11 hours with Anch out or 40 hours in total. I have not yet tested the buds to confirm those numbers, but if it is correct, they are good.
The case has a slot for each bud on the opposite sides of the case. There is no wireless charge.
Bose sound
Skullcandy describes the buds as “Bose Sound”, which includes hardware (chipset and probably drivers) and acoustic digital setup. I do not know exactly what components use the buds, but they sound quite similar to the ears of the type of bose and have similar specifications, including the cancellation of a hybrid active noise of 4 micro.
Like the ears of QC ears, they are equipped with sensors to detect the ears that pause your music when you remove the buds from the ears and continue playing when you return the buds to the ears. I also thought that touch controls were well implemented. They are adjustable through the Skullcandy-IQ app for iOS and Android, where you can also play around with EQ settings to mix the sound profile.
Testing the buds on the streets of the newuork.
Bose's ears and headphones are designed to work well with a variety of music and offer generally smooth, awake sound that is very pleasant to listen. While some top buds offer a little more details and clarity, such as the ears of Bose's ears, the bass of these skullcandy buds has a good blow to it without sounding a boom.
I don't think the buds of the 360 Anc method sound as good as QC Ultras, which have more depth and sequel (they offer a little richer, more detailed sound), but the match was much closer than I thought it would be. It is also worth noting that the buds of the 360 Anc method play quite loud and sound better than all the ears of skullcandy I have tested over the years. I still have to listen to them a little longer and compare them with some other ears in this price range before making a final verdict, but as far as the sound goes, we really will not complain about the price.
The best cancellation of skullcandy noise in pair of ears
The cancellation of noise also looks pretty good, and you can adjust its “intensity” in the application, along with the level of ambient sound you have dropped in the buds when you are in the “Stay-conscious” mode. While the noise cancellation is not part of the Bose Sound program, the PR official told me that it was confirmed by Bose as fulfilling their standards. As with sound quality, it's not up to what you get with QC Ultra Earbuds, and even with QC ears, but it's respectable and more efficient than Middling Anc on previous skull ears that I have tried.
I discovered that the performance of voice reference is something of a mixed bag. In my tests in the noisy streets of Newoufor, one caller said they could take me clearly with a little background noise, while two other callers said my voice was sold out and cut off (it was hard to hear). I still have some tests to do in this area, but there are a few questionnaires about the quality of the call – at least when it comes to what callers hear (I had no problems with my hearing callers).
Plasma red buds.
Great value for the moment
Havee I have my full overview of the Skullcandy 360 Anc Earbuds in the coming days. But aside from several warnings, it is safe to say that these buds appear to be very good value. Note that Skullcandy refers to their $ 100 price as a “introductory price” and that it can change in a timely manner, as the situation with tariffs remains fluid. But a Skullcandy official informed me that the ears entered production in January, so the company was able to get many units in the United States before tariffs came into force. While there are currently exceptions to smartphones, laptops and some other electronics, there are no tariff cuts for headphones and ears.
