FULL STORY ======================================================================

Skullcandy reminds us that sub-$60 Bluetooth earbuds are possible if you can live with some caveats.

This week, the company unveiled its upcoming Mod True Wireless Earbuds that come packed with engaging features, like loud audio, long battery life, and that $59.99 price tag, but no noise cancellation.

As expected, the budget earbuds dont offer any sort of game-changing
features. Still, there are some nifty ones and at least one surprise in that budget price package. Total control

For starters, the Mod Earbuds come with Multipoint Pairing which allows you
to connect up to two separate devices at the same time. You can watch a movie on your laptop and then switch over to your phone to answer a call without skipping a beat.

As mentioned, the earbuds dont have Active Noise Cancellation, but the Mods
do have the combination of Clear Voice Smart Mic and Stay-Aware Mode.

Clear Voice Smart Mic uses AI to block out outside noise and isolate a voice while youre on a call to ensure better audio quality. And Stay-Aware Mode gives you control over how much ambient noise is let in while you wear the Mods. That way, you can still pay attention to the world around you.

These audio control features can be accessed through the Skullcandy app which has different Equalizer configurations for Music, Podcasts, or your own
custom settings.

Among the more noteworthy features is Built-In Tile Finding Technology. It lets you find missing earbuds via the Tile app. According to Tile , your missing bud will begin to ring and direct you to its last known location.

And then theres the long battery life. The Mods can, the company claims, last up to seven hours on a single charge, but if paired up with the charging
case, that number goes up to 34 hours. The battery sports Rapid Charge which, according to Skullcandy, gives two hours of playtime after just 10 minutes of charging. Big sound

If youre interested in the specs side of things, the Mods are fairly decent
in that regard, too. Their drivers are 6mm in diameter and have a range, Skullcandy notes, of up to around 95 decibels. But they can fluctuate up or down 3 decibels at times. To put that into perspective , thats the same decibel level of a motorcycle engine so take care not to play them too
loudly.

The earbuds have an IP55 dust and water resistance rating . This means they can survive blasts of sand or splashes, but cant survive being submerged.

Skullcandys Mod Earbuds are currently available for pre-order. If you cant afford the $60 price tag, you can do four payments of $14.99 with no interest added.
