This year has been big for truly wireless earphones, with important launches from Samsung, Apple, and many other companies. In India, we have also seen big launches from Sennheiser, Nokia, and Blaupunkt, to name a few. Joining that bandwagon today is a brand that has made waves in the audio industry for its modern, stylish designs and bass-focused sound: Skullcandy.
The new Skullcandy Push[1] truly wireless earphones are priced at Rs. 9,999[2], and take on strong competition in the segment from similarly priced products such as the Samsung Galaxy Buds[3] and Nokia True Wireless Earbuds[4]. Can Skullcandy make a mark on this product segment? We review to find out.
Skullcandy Push design and specifications
Like all of the truly wireless earphones we've had a chance to test in the past few months, the Skullcandy Push consists of two earbuds and a charging case to store and charge them in when not in use. The earbuds have a pill-shaped design that sticks to the typical Skullcandy aesthetic, combining urban styling with somewhat industrial design, which we quite liked. While the earbuds are large, their plastic casings keep them light. Wing attachments comfortably and securely kept the buds in our ears.
Each earbud has a large button on its outer side and an indicator light at the bottom. The earbuds themselves don't feel quite as nice as the Samsung Galaxy Buds or the Nokia True Wireless Earbuds, but they do look good and fit quite comfortably. They didn't stick out of our ears too much because of the design, and therefore looked a bit more discreet in use. The Skullcandy Push is available in two colours in India — grey and green....
