With the Method 360 ANC, Skullcandy has partnered with audio giant Bose to tune the earbuds’ sound profile, promising a premium listening experience. The Skullcandy earphones come with an in-ear design and a charging case, reminiscent of the Nothing ear stick.

Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds specifications
The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are available in five colour choices: Black, Bone, Primer, Plasma, and Leopard. The buds are shipped inside an “all-new” slider charging case, which has a built-in O-ring clip to easily mount it in your backpack or jeans hook. This should appeal to GenZ. Furthermore, there is an upgraded tactile finish, and the pair is designed for both entertainment and daily use, boasting several premium features like the 4-mic Hybrid ANC, allowing users to block out ambient noise or utilise a customisable ‘Stay-Aware’ mode.
The audio is managed by Bose tuning, which is promised to deliver industry-leading performance. Furthermore, the buds feature an ergonomic, ovalized design with multiple fit fins and ear gels, which the company states leverage licensed technology from Bose for a secure fit and superior noise isolation. The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earphones are IPX4-rated for sweat and water resistance, making them safe for at least gym workouts.
As for the battery life, the buds are claimed to provide up to 40 hours of total playtime (ANC off) and up to 32 hours (ANC on), and there is fast charging support. A quick 10-minute charge adds up to 2 hours of playback.
Other features include Bluetooth v5.3 with LE Audio, Google Fast Pair, and Multipoint Pairing, allowing for seamless transitions between multiple devices. Moving on, the Method 360 is compatible with the Skull-iQ App, enabling users to customise EQ settings, button functions, and ANC modes. The pair also provide Spotify Tap support, “Clear Voice” smart microphones, and “Natural Voice Sidetone” for clearer phone calls to ensure its multipurpose use case.
If you’re upgrading from budget TWS, these offer a significant leap in sound and features, but if you own premium earbuds from the last 1-2 years, the upgrade might be marginal unless the Bose tuning is a specific draw.
