Skullcandy recently released some new true wireless earbuds and one of their main selling points specifically caters to a fear some might have about buying such tiny audio devices to listen to music. That is, the fear of losing one or both of the small earbuds after spending money on them. With Skullcandy’s new options, that’s no longer a problem leaving buyers to enjoy their favorite songs without worrying about misplacing their headphones.
Skullcandy is a popular brand, making available audio products designed to suit the varying needs of consumers. As a result, you will often finds a selection of headphones and earphones that not only vary in style, but also in size and color. While this is also true of the company’s latest offerings, they do come with a feature that sets them apart, Tile technology. Tile is a company that has made its name in ‘lost and found’ with its products utilizing a technology that makes it easy to find an item when misplaced. For example, many of the Tile products can be attached to keys, wallets, and phones, making them easy to locate at any time.
In theory, you can buy a Tile product and attach them to your headphones. However, Skullcandy latest line of audio products come with the same Tile technology built-in and when the earbuds are lost, the owner can use the related smartphone app to track them down once again. There are four new products available for purchase – Push Ultra, Indy Evo, Indy Fuel and Sesh Evo – and while the price varies depending on the model, they are all priced under $100.
A Closer Look At Skullcandy’s New Earbuds
Although wireless headphones have been popular for a long time, they likely got a helpful sales boost when Apple started releasing phones without the headphone jack. Compared to Apple’s own AirPods, Skullcandy headphones are usually available in a variety of different color options. While other competitors also place a focus on color choice, you can even buy Pikachu-themed earbuds, color is only one of the selling points on offer with Skullcandy products, with price another. Speaking of which, even the most expensive of the new Skullcandy earbuds is only about half the listed price of AirPods.
Tile’s phone app can be a great solution to help track down misplaced valuables, although it is not the only app that can help with lost items. For example, the Find My app on Apple devices can be used to find missing Apple products. While Apple’s app is capable of finding lost AirPods, Tile comes with some additional features that can make all the difference, including the option to enlist the help from the Tile community to help find the item. All things considered, not everyone uses an Apple device, and the Skullcandy with Tile alternative makes more sense financially. Besides Tile technology, there is also a dedicated Skullcandy app that can be downloaded and it is compatible with the new earbuds. Although, it is worth mentioning that some of the reviews on both the App Store and Google Play suggest the Skullcandy app needs a bit of work to improve connections for wireless music playback.
