Skullcandy Indy Evo Black
Score: 78/100
Btootos Wireless Earbuds
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Skullcandy Indy Evo offers rugged IP55 protection, a long 30-hour total battery life and handy Tile integration for locating lost earbuds. It lacks wireless charging, active noise cancellation and its case is relatively bulky. It suits budget-conscious gym-goers and travelers who value durability and extra features over premium audio refinement.
Btootos Wireless Earbuds deliver a comfortable, secure fit with strong bass and IPX7 waterproofing, backed by a long 36-hour total battery life. Their ANC is weak, touch controls are finicky, and the charging case feels fragile. Best suited for budget-conscious active users who prioritize fit and battery over premium sound and features.

Professional reviewers commend the Indy Evo for its rugged build, secure fit, and clear bass-forward sound with useful EQ presets, noting the rapid charging and Tile integration as strong points. However, they criticize the lack of active noise cancellation, the case's bulk, and minor driver inconsistencies, suggesting it's a solid budget sports earbud but not a premium audio solution.
Everyday users consistently praise the earbuds' stable fit, decent bass, long battery life, and added features like Tile tracking and EQ modes, while recurring complaints focus on the oversized case, occasional connectivity hiccups, and the absence of aggressive bass or ANC for very loud environments.
“Phenomenal sound, very comfortable, worth more than budget price (vs. AirPods Pro)”
Professional reviewers generally appreciate the Btootos earbuds for their comfortable, secure fit, strong bass response, reliable IPX7 waterproofing, and easy Bluetooth pairing, but they criticize the mediocre sound depth, weak active noise cancellation, finicky touch controls, flimsy charging case, and occasional latency issues.
Everyday users love the earbuds for gym and daily wear thanks to the secure, sweat-proof fit, all-day comfort, deep bass, and long battery life, while repeatedly complaining about accidental touch activations, shorter-than-advertised battery endurance, weak ANC, case durability, and occasional connectivity lag.
