Hiking approved, doesn't fall out. My favorite skull candy earbuds to date
For the money these are awesome, they're at the cost point where you wouldnt care if you lost them in 6 months because a new pair is so inexpensive especially will how often these go on sale. Anc is decent, the "hey Skullcandy" voice commands work well.The transparency element to the design of the earbuds is very cool, not overdone but adds a bit of style which I like. They are a little bigger than airpod pros or the Skullcandy dime earbuds however they have better battery life and better fitment so it's not a drawback.Fit: I did a 5 mile hike today and these never fell out even after getting a little sweaty. If you have an issue with them falling out, you probably need to change your eartip size.Sound quality: 9/10, nice and punchy bass as with all Skullcandy earbuds and the addition to the skulliq app to further adjust to your liking is nice. The app saves your equalizer pre setting so you'll set it one time and it'll save indefinitely.Design: the case is lightweight and also has a transparency aspect to the inside. The buds snap into the case firmly and don't fall out easy if dropped (tested by accident)Active noise cancellation: not the most refined anc I've ever heard, probably a 6/10. Seems to get better at noise cancelling if the ambient sound is consistent and not changing drastically.Stay aware mode: this mode does work but it's still a 6/10 for me. Does make you aware of your surroundings without adding uncessary sounds or amplifying them which can sound unnatural (from other earbuds I've tested,not skull candy branded)Overall they're a 9/10 for me and I'll continue to use them, this is definitely the brands best wireless earbuds and with the app allowing for periodic updates I'm sure the anc and stay aware mode will just get better and better over time.

Worth the money when they're on sale.
These earbuds are awesome. The multiple sizes for buds make it easy to find the best fit for your ear, and tbh having a larger head usually means smaller buds don't fit right, but these fit perfectly. The sound is amazing, VERY loud, I had the original Rail earbuds for two years and never got sound quality like this. It's almost like they put tiny subs in each earbuds (definitely recommend using the skull IQ app to personalize your hearing to get the best sound). However there are moments where the sound clarity lacks on lower frequencies, such as vocals, but mainly because the bass is so loud and unbalanced.Loudness 5/5Sound clarity4/5Bass 4/5 (only because it cause the low frequency issue and at its loudest setting it becomes crackly)As I said before I'm very impressed so far but the one thing I haven't been able to hear actually work is the Stay Aware feature. When I've activated it, it just hasn't been noticeable at all, but in turn, that does however mean that the active noise cancellation is very effective.ANC 5/5Stay Aware 1/5Another issue that I've had with the headphones is the voice control feature is very touchy, if you're using this at work or around the house with other people it picks up what they say and will try to activate the "hey Skullcandy feature" so I have just opted to turn mine off through the skull IQ app.Voice control 3/5 (when you use it for its intended purpose it works well but not around others or active environments)Overall I'm glad I got these during the spring sale at 44 dollars instead of the full price. They're worth about that I would say.

Allergic reaction, weak app, connectivity issues
Edit: added more at the endIf you had an allergic reaction to Samsung Buds 2 or their other earbuds, you'll react to these as well. I wore the Rail ANC for less than one afternoon and by dinner my ears were already reacting with liquid discharge. This morning at 4am I had one ear almost totally crusted over and still leaking while the other was leaking but less crusted. I've had this reaction before and I suspect it's the material used for the inserts. Also, the little logo they put on them didn't help either. Anything that causes friction in the ear canal is a stupid idea. I got these for a trip I'm taking on a plane across country and I'm kinda screwed now because I can't return them in time to get something else. My old wired headphones from when I bought my Samsung pgone don't react, so I took those ear inserts and luckily they fit, so I through them on. Once my ears stop reacting and chill out, I'll see if that fixes the issue in time for my trip.As far as function goes, the headphones are okay at best. They can get plenty loud to the point that ANC or their Stay Aware pass through mode mean nothing. It's nice to know I can listen at lower volumes like I prefer and still have ambient noise be mostly audible or have anc keep things subdued. But subdued is the best they give and mostly audible ambient noise is about as much as you can expect. These aren't stellar at either. Doable, but not something I'd laude about.They sound pretty good for what they are. Not sure if I'd say they're $100 headphone quality or value, allergies aside, but they don't sound awful by any means. Music was clear and had some rumble. I used the sound personalization and it was easy enough to get decent sound. There a bass boost, general music and podcast sound setting with a customizable equalizer in the app as well.The buttons on the side are touch activated and finicky. I tend to tap fast and expect fast responses, but these prefer a more methodical pace. The sweetspot for where to touch is also funky, but I started getting it after a few hours. Also, the audio queues are clear enough, but an option to remove them would make things feel faster. Also, if they're not in my ear, I wish touch capacity stopped. Plenty of time I took one out and accidentally started changing tracks, changing volume and activating pairing mode.I remapped all the touch responses and even changed what ear did what. One tap on either paused, double tap on left was volume down, on right it's volume up. Three taps left was previous track and same on the right was skip ahead. Long press in either toggles ANC on/off and pass through audio. I appreciate customization like that.For what stands out as good, I'd say it's the voice prompts. Much quicker to respond than on my phone or watch and that's kinda sad because it's the feature I'll probably never use and cared rhe least about, but seemed so much better than my phones inbuilt assistant that Samsung spent so much time, effort and money on to develop (rip bixby). If you like using voice commands, that's gonna go great, although the "take photo" command doesn't work with my Samsung's camera app. Again, not something I was after anyways.One of my favorite features was the built-in tile function for finding them if I lose one or both. The tile app isn't super intuitive, but I mostly figured it out and stumbled my way into it connecting both buds. It creates a tone I can hear when the room in my apartment is silent and has a directional sensor to let me know if I'm getting hotter or colder. Granted, it's not terribly responsive, sensitive or consistent, but if I moved slowly through a room, I bet between the proximity sensor and sound I'd probably find one if I lost one. It's a nice feature to have where I'd otherwise be totally screwed, so I'll take a win where I can with these.I got these on pre-order. When they were scheduled to release after 2 weeks, they ended up coming 10 days earlier or less. It seems weird i had to pre-order when people said they were already at Walmart for a couple weeks, but whatever.I'll update after my ears recover and try them using the non-reactive ear inserts from my old wired heaphones and see if they don't react again. I was furious about my Galaxy Buds 2 causing this reaction, but my wired stuff and my LG Tone Platinums never caused an issue. If it weren't summer and the LG Tone Platinums weren't makeing my neck hot, I might never have bothered looking at this style Bluetooth buds again. But it's a trip to a Nevada training center after the hottest july month on record in human history with averages around 110 in the area I'll be. I thought I'd take a chance on mild comfort. I'm hoping I didn't waste my money now that almost out of time.EDIT: It's been a few days so I'll add more input. Battery is pretty good, but it's not enough to bump a star.The app Skullcandy IQ is awful. It's what controls your key presses. The problem is the app is always on, but loses connection and resets all your programmed key presses. I end up having to reset them every day when they eventually connect poorly. The app logo constantly in my phones notification bar isn't necessary or tell me any input about my headphones. If it at least told me battery levels or connection status, maybe I wouldn't be so annoyed, but this just ISN'T ready for prime time.Also, the ear inserts are what caused the allergic reaction. They jerryrigged replacements I found by chance from a totally different set of wired buds from an old phone work well enough, but I shouldn't have to find my own replacements. At least having an option for different inserts that are non-reactive would be beneficial like memory foam or whatever. Again, Samsung Buds 2 had this EXACT issue and replacing inserts with an aftermarket set was the only solution. For a list of symptoms, it's pretty unmistakable: liquid discharge, discolored mucousal discharge in ear, weeping ear, flaking and scaly skim that seems to build up and shed, pain itching, inflammation, basically a large skin irritation in your ear canal that, if unmanaged, becomes a severe ear infection. Samsung got sued for it and has been paying out for their affected customers. Skullcandy is headed the same way with these unless they have a hypoallergenic replacement in the wing.If the connectivity issue wasn't so bad and not saving my preset remapped button setting wasn't so annoying, perhaps I would add a star or two, but this isn't ready for release and I'm probably returning after giving another day or two. Really sucks I'm screwed out of my trip for headphones, but I'm not gonna struggle with a new set of buds I paid good money for. I'll just go back to wired at this point.
