This page covers 5 Skullcandy products, from wireless over-ear headphones to small speakers. The Aviator 900 and Crusher Evo suit listeners who want sound kept to themselves. The Ounce+, Terrain Mini and Barrel Mini Boombox suit people who want a small speaker to share.
For commutes, flights and long shows, the Skullcandy Aviator 900 ANC is worth it for most listeners. The deciding spec is battery life: up to 60 hours with ANC off. Rapid Charge adds about 4 hours from 10 minutes.
Skullcandy Barrel Mini review: IPX7, 12-hour rating, LED lights and Multi-Link, but no independent tests and Skullcandy no longer sells it. Better options.
For commuting, travel and long listening sessions, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo suits bass lovers shopping under 200 dollars. Its 40-hour battery and adjustable Crusher Bass slider are the deciding specs. It lacks active noise canceling and water resistance.
For beach days, pool sessions, camping and travel, the Skullcandy Ounce+ is a strong pick. It carries an IPX7 rating, 16 hours of playback and 20 watts of output. That output tops the JBL Go 3, Bose SoundLink Micro and Sony SRS-XB100.
Skullcandy Terrain Mini review: IPX7, a 13-hour Which? battery result and no app or mic, plus why Skullcandy's Session 360 has now replaced it in the US.

Should I buy Skullcandy headphones or a Skullcandy speaker?
Start with how you listen. Headphones keep sound to yourself, and a speaker shares it with the room. The Aviator 900 lists adaptive active noise cancelling. The Crusher Evo is the other wireless over-ear choice here.
For a speaker, decide if you need waterproofing. The Ounce+ and Terrain Mini are both listed as waterproof. The Terrain Mini has been replaced, so check it is still sold. The Barrel Mini Boombox adds party lights, but evidence on it is thin.
Active noise cancelling (ANC)
Microphones pick up outside sound. The headphones then play an opposing signal to cut it.
Adaptive noise cancelling
A type of ANC that changes its strength to match the noise around you.
Waterproof
A speaker built to survive contact with water. Check the stated rating for how deep and how long.
