They boast a solid IP55 rating, which means they\u2019re dust-protected and resistant to low-pressure liquids, like sweat or light rain. Battery-wise, expect up to 44 hours of juice from them on a single charge. And\u00a0 the thoughtful ear hangers keep the buds in place no matter how you run, jump, twist, or move.<\/p>\n<p>The thing that really makes the Push Active\u2019s shine, however, is their unbelievable sub-$100 price point. These buds have a ton of amazing features, damn decent audio quality, a comfy fit, and a lot to offer, and Skullcandy sweetens the pot by not charging you an arm and a leg for them. That\u2019s just awesome!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_and_Earbud_Design\"><\/span>Case and Earbud Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Skullcandy released these at about the same time as their <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/101307\/skullcandy-grind-fuel-earbuds-review-great-sound-outstanding-features\/\">Grind Fuel true wireless earbuds, and you can see it in the design. Both sport short and wide cases, instead of the ubiquitous tall and slim case seen pretty much everywhere else. They both have the same matte black lightly-textured case design and a streamlined modern design that feels sturdy. The difference, however, is that this case is SO. BIG. Like bigger than the palm of your hand big; you\u2019ll want to throw it in your bag and not keep it on your person, which is super annoying.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-105095 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3c128242.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aside from that, though, the case is well designed. A slight indentation at the front indicates where to open it from; it\u2019s relatively easy to open with just one hand yet still stays shut the rest of the time, thanks to its magnetic closure. The case\u2019s exterior sports the company\u2019s iconic skull design up top, four battery indicator lights on the front, and a USB-C charging point on the rear that\u2019s covered by a rubber seal to help maximize the case\u2019s resistance to water and dust.<\/p>\n<p>When you open the case, you\u2019ll see the buds laid out horizontally. They\u2019re easy to pick up, and each sport an LED battery indicator light. The top inside of the case has the same orange design as their counterparts, the Grind Fuel earbuds. It\u2019s a bold look, but it also looks nice and modern; it\u2019s a pleasant pop of color.<\/p>\n<p>The buds weigh in at 7.8 grams each (and all together, with the case, at 95g\u2014three times the weight of the Jabra Elite 3 buds). Yes, that makes them a little heftier than many other options out there, but it\u2019s for a good cause\u2014that sweet, sweet battery life and secure fit. I wore them for several hours each day for a few weeks, and they felt comfortable all day long. Their design does a good job distributing their weight.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll never have to worry about losing the earbuds, either, as they have Tile built-in (a fantastic feature for any small electronics to have). It only takes a few seconds to add each earbud to your Tile <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.thetileapp.tile&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a>\/<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/tile-find-lost-keys-phone\/id664939913\">iOS<\/a>)\u2014super easy and a feature that every pair of earbuds out there should offer.<\/p>\n<p>As was the case with their sister buds, the Grind Fuels, my only grievance about the design is that the physical buttons are kind of hard to press. The button is located at the rear of the earbud. There is no comfortable non-annoying way to press it with just one finger\u2014you\u2019ll either end up pushing it into your ear (which hurts) or have to partially pop it out of your ear and against your skull (it doesn\u2019t hurt, but breaks the seal). You\u2019ll need to use both your thumb and index finger to press either button successfully, and even that\u2019s still a bit fussy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fit\"><\/span>The Fit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If it wasn\u2019t im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely apparent, the Push Actives were designed for anyone who\u2019s, well, active. The one problem most true wireless earbuds have is that they can fall out (and then easily get stepped on or lost) if you aren\u2019t careful. On the other end of the spectrum, wired earbuds and headphones are much harder to lose, but they suck to wear during workouts. These earbuds, however, are a happy medium\u2014they\u2019re compact and out of the way but are still big enough to offer a more solid fit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-105096\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/d690d69c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to their comfy gel tips and ear hangers, the earbuds will stay perfectly in place no matter how intense your workout (or other daily adventures) gets. If you (like me) wear glasses, these will slightly adjust how those fit, but not by much. Even when I just have one bud in, my glasses never felt awkwardly lopsided or like they were going to fall out, which is all I could ask for.<\/p>\n<p>The Push Actives use gel eartips (and include three sizes). They are decently comfortable, but not as much as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/90720\/sony-wf-1000xm4-earbuds-review\/\">earbuds with foam tips; however, they have a more secure fit, so those are\u00a0trade-offs you\u2019ll need to consider. These eartips also mean you might struggle a bit to find a perfect natural-feeling seal. As I tested these, it usually took me a few minutes to get a seal that felt good and didn\u2019t give me that \u201cclogged ear\u201d feeling even when I tried out other gel tip sizes. Your mileage will likely vary here (hopefully), depending on which eartip size you use and the shape of your ears.<\/p>\n<p>And as I mentioned above, if you try to one-finger the physical button, you\u2019ll probably mess up that seal you just spent 20 minutes trying to get just right. This was also the same case with the Grind Fuel earbuds, although the buttons on each model have different designs and locations. I might not consider fussy buttons to be as big of a deal on other buds, but since Skullcandy added so much functionality into these buttons, the fact that they are tough to press is ultimately just really frustrating and disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Skullcandy made it so you can control audio playback via these buttons as well as your phone calls. You can increase or lower the volume, launch Spotify, share or join audio with another Skullcandy device, and pair your earbuds to a new device without opening the mobile companion app. You\u2019ll genuinely want to use these buttons every day, and I\u2019d still love to see Skullcandy improve these buttons in future earbuds.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-105114 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/3df4849f.png\" alt=\"Head-on view of the top of the case\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Otherwise, you can use Skull-iQ, the company\u2019s voice-driven Smart Feature <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a>.

voice controls, Stay-Aware Mode (which allows you to hear your surroundings without removing the buds), and select an equalizer preset (or customize your own). It also shows you additional features and options, like Button Settings, Take a Photo, Share Audio, Spotify Tap, and Find With Tile. You\u2019re limited to which options you can choose for a specific action, though, instead of it just giving you carte blanche rule, which is lame.<\/p>\n<p>You can customize what a single, double, or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>le button press does, along with what a one- or three-second button hold (long press) does. There\u2019s a decent selection of options at your fingertips here, like adjusting the volume, changing the track, activating your assistant, taking a photo, toggling Stay Aware, or activating Spotify Tap. The latter is a Skull-iQ feature that automatically opens Spotify on your device (if it\u2019s already downloaded, of course) and starts playing what you were listening to the last time you had the app open or whatever the algorithm thinks you\u2019ll like.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of my favorite things about the Push Actives is their enormous battery capacity. Between the earbuds and their charging case, you\u2019ll get up to 44 hours of listening time; that\u2019s 10 for the earbuds and another 34 hours from the case. That\u2019s enough to get you through a day of work and most (if not all) of your commute on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p>You can also throw them in the case and gain another two hours after just 10 minutes of quick charging if needed. That\u2019s a handy feature you can take advantage of at the end of your workday while you\u2019re packing up just before you head out.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_and_User_Experience\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Performance and User Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These features and a rugged design are nice, but do Skullcandy\u2019s Push Actives actually sound good? The sound quality is decent. The buds are by no means audiophile-level equipment, but for under $100? They get the job done. If you don\u2019t think bass is a big deal, however, I\u2019d even go so far as to say they\u2019re great.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-105113 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/b624115f.png\" alt=\"Charging port revealed on case underneath rubberized cover\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Kevin Bonnett\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kevin Bonnett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As usual, I ran these headphones through my standard headphone tester playlist, featuring all kinds of music from electronica and 80s synthpop to rap and hardcore punk. They did alright overall. Vocals and guitars sound great, but bass and drums struggle to sound nearly as good and are far less discernable within the overall soundscape, which was disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like Skullcandy tuned the earbuds more toward electronic music, podcasts, and acoustic guitar, compared to heavy rock or hip-hop and rap. Sound-wise, they could be better; even the equalizer tuned up didn\u2019t help much. However, I can say that these are great for use while working out or vibing through your morning commute. I would definitely upgrade to another pair if you\u2019re looking for stellar audio quality.<\/p>\n<p>The Push Actives also lack active noise cancellation (ANC), a remarkable feature that actively blocks out unwanted background noise, like fans, traffic, and conversations. Honestly, the omission is a big miss. Panasonic, JBL, Wyze, and others all offer ANC to earbuds at this same price point (or less). Despite that fact, these buds still lack it. Instead, the buds make a minimal effort to block out noise, but it\u2019s far from the actual effective active noise cancellation; it kind of just felt like they block out just enough noise to call the Stay-Aware Mode an actual feature.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a decent pair of buds that\u2019ll endure tough and sweaty workouts, the Push Active\u2019s are a solid bet. They\u2019ve got a rugged construction, an all-day battery capacity (and then some), and are resistant to dust and sweat (and light rain). I also love that they have Tile built-in so that you won\u2019t ever have to worry about losing them.<\/p>\n<p>Although I wish the audio quality was better all-around, that they supported wireless charging, and that their buttons were a little easier to press, the Push Actives are plenty good enough for anyone just looking for a budget-friendly pair of workout earbuds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\nRating: <strong>7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong>$79.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Comfy secure fit<\/li>\n<li>Decent audio quality<\/li>\n<li>Tile is built-in<\/li>\n<li>Inexpensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Buttons are tough to push<\/li>\n<li>Enormous bulky case<\/li>\n<li>No wireless charging<\/li>\n<li>No ANC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
