Skullcandy Burton Push Active Series Review

Earbuds are essential to my outdoor experience. In fact, in my drawer there are wired headphones, earbuds of multiple grades, each with a different purpose. When I’m on a skateboard I expect to trash anything on me so I’ll take something to ride with with a low price point. When I want to upgrade Burton x Skullcandy Push Active limited edition series to deliver quality. Comfort and ease of use shine through to create sound with seamless integration into any activity.

Straight out of the box the Burton x Skullcandy leopard orange and pink sorbet color splashed package caught my eye. Opening the box to see the hardcase is the same color popping open the top was even still exciting. Each earbud displays a different color scheme, one a simple black the other matching leopard splash. Even for snowboarding, these worked wonders. Fine our our thoughts in the roundup of best snowboard headphones guide for peak on mountain performance. 

Ease-Of-Use

Back in the old days you used to have to use headphones that just covered your ears. Long since those technically challenged days earbuds feature voice activated calls, Spotify searching, and hands free Bluetooth pairing. Never fear losing these limited edition earbuds because they automatically sync with your tile finder app. It really couldn’t get any easier to integrate your smartphone with your outdoor experience. Voice control commands like, “Hey Skullcandy, Spotify” leave you hands-free to handle other things.

Comfort

Earbuds are all made differently but you won’t find the unique features of the Burton x Skullcandy Push Active Series anywhere else. The exclusive features can only be found in this one-time collaboration. Shockingly comfortable the earbuds flexed unnoticed behind my ears even in extremely hot temperatures, sweat and showers. Regardless of what I was doing wearing the Burton x Skullcandy collab earbuds never compromised my comfort.

Durability

Living in Arizona there’s street skateboarding includes extreme temperatures over 105°. With overnight temps near 85 degrees, there is no relief, leaving no other choice but to jump in the water. I’m not willing to risk my expensive gear and I don’t have to with IPX55 water resistance. As an ideal companion for sweaty sports, Burton x Skullcandy’s high IP rating is essential. Skullcandy wasn’t sleeping on protection from sweating, splashing, and even swimming.

Skullcandy Push Active Tech

Tech specs for the Skullcandy x Burton limited edition Push Active Series are impressive. Usually I feel restricted by chords, neck attachments or earhooks; however, this series was made with the mountains in mind and it shows. The flexible ear piece includes a rear overhook attachment that somehow comfortably fits over each ear. No fussing required, they are easy to handle with an independent power button on each earbud. The ultra-flexible, soft silicone-like hooks eliminate hassles during use.

Tile Finder

What really stands out is the security of a built-in Tile finder. After years in the mountains, rivers and trails of Arizona, the graveyard of items I lost includes gloves, earbuds, telephones, iPods, and other things that disappeared off the lift, like my backpack or paddleboard. This year, automatic activation of the Bluetooth Tile locator makes sure I feel at ease even if I lose one of the earbuds. Set to take on any terrain, Skullcandy x Burton Tile technology was seamlessly integrated so you can remain stress-free.

Additional features of the Burton x Skullcandy Push Active Series earbuds include one-touch controls, a USB-C charger, a protective case, and Bluetooth automatic connection.
