Score: 92/100
Skullcandy S2MTW-T740
Score: 75/100Rankings
Powerbeats Pro 2 combine a secure ear-hook design, adaptive ANC, and a built-in heart-rate sensor, delivering up to 10 hours of playback and 45 hours total with a wireless-charging case.
The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds deliver deep bass, long battery life and a secure fit at a budget price, but fall short on ANC performance, comfort over extended wear, and high-resolution codec support.
