Skullcandy just leveled up, and this time they’ve brought in the big guns—Bose. The all-new Skullcandy x Bose Method 360 ANC earbuds mark the brand’s boldest move yet, delivering its most premium sound experience to date without ditching its budget-friendly roots. With Bose tuning baked in and a “special” $100 launch price (rising to $130 soon), these buds punch way above their weight.

You’re getting hybrid ANC with a four-mic setup, customizable EQ via the Skull-iQ app, and a surprisingly hefty battery life—up to 40 hours with the sleek, carabiner-ready case. Wear detection, low-latency mode, multipoint pairing, and Stay-Aware ambient passthrough give these earbuds the kind of feature list usually reserved for products twice the price.

While they don’t quite hit the noise-canceling heights of Bose’s top-tier QuietComforts, you’ll save nearly $200 and still get top-tier comfort thanks to Bose-influenced ear gels and fit fins. Available in five expressive colorways, including leopard-print for the bold, the Method 360 ANC earbuds are IPX4-rated, perfect for sweaty workouts or sudden downpours.

Add in Spotify Tap and Google Fast Pair support, and it’s clear Skullcandy is coming for the everyday listener—and the occasional audiophile—who wants more for less. This is Skullcandy’s premium statement piece, which is finally tuned for the big leagues.
