Skullcandy Indy Evo - you'll never lose your earbud again!

$179 for a set of fully wireless in-ear headphones that have features you won’t find on the most expensive and popular models? That’s crazy.

That’s what you get with the Skullcandy Indy Evo headphones.

These are small – and in terms of ‘in ear’ size and “stalk” size, they’re pretty much the same stalk length as the original Apple Airpods, but the top bud is a bit bulkier, though it does come with a bit of a hook to ensure it stays put in your ear which I like.

6 hours battery life in the ear, plus another 24 hours in the case – there’s no complaints there.

They are very plastic – they have a cheap feeling to them – but I reckon you only notice that if you’re a snob who’s used all the higher end gear.

Pairing was easy, though I stuffed this up myself because I was playing around with them for another reason (read on), so they were paired individually to my phone, not as a pair of earbuds together, so music in one ear only.

No problem, the instructions actually spell out quite well how you reset them and start over. A breeze.

Put them in and wow, for $179, this is some great sound, really impressive stuff.

But wait.. there’s more

Ever lost a single earbud? Never again with these. The Skullcandy Indy Evo have TILE built in.

Now when I saw that I thought yeah yeah, great, built into the case.

NOPE – each earbud has a TILE in it, paired with the TILE app this means you can locate your tile wherever it is, under the car seat, in the lounge cushions or wherever. Remarkable.
