Reviewers generally agree that the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds offer effective active noise cancellation, long battery life, and a wireless charging case, with most praising the sound quality, especially the bass, though one found the out-of-box audio poor and requiring app adjustment.
9:59The reviewer finds the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds have good noise cancelling, battery life, and a wireless charging case, but the sound quality out of the box is poor and requires the app's hearing test to improve. They consider the $130 price a bit steep given the need for that adjustment.
12:12The reviewer finds the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds to be the best-sounding in the Indy lineup, offering solid active noise cancellation, good battery life, and useful features like wireless charging and app customization. However, they note the higher price and recommend the cheaper Indy Fuels for those who don't need ANC or personalized sound.
9:08The reviewer finds the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds to be a decent budget option with a strong feature set for the price, including wireless charging and good battery life, but notes that the build quality feels cheap and the active noise cancellation is underwhelming. They recommend them for budget-conscious users who can overlook the build sacrifices.
8:22The reviewer found the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds to be a strong value at their typical sale price of around $100, praising the punchy bass and clear highs while noting slightly muddy mids. The microphone and active noise cancellation performed adequately in tests, and the latency was acceptable on both Android and iOS, though there is no dedicated gaming mode. Overall, the reviewer was impressed and recommends them for the price.
7:57The reviewer finds the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds to be a strong overall package, praising their sound quality, effective noise cancellation, long battery life, and comfortable fit. While noting some minor drawbacks like the bulky case and lack of custom EQ, they conclude that these are a great choice for those seeking premium features.
5:49The reviewer finds the Skullcandy Indy ANC earbuds deliver impressive audio quality and effective noise cancellation, along with good battery life and a useful personal sound feature. However, they are let down by the bulky case that collects dust and the occasional touch control misses, concluding they are a decent option but face stiff competition at their price point.
