Skullcandy Smokin' Buds TWS earbuds with a low carbon footprint and longer battery life launched for $20

Skullcandy has unveiled its Smokin Buds earbuds with long battery life and low carbon footprint. The Smokin Buds also come with a very affordable price tag of $19.99.

The Smokin Buds earbuds catch the fancy with their remarkably affordable price but it is another matter of whether its performance will match the hype on the earbuds. The wireless earbuds market is filled with some heavily-priced and premium models including the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, the Sony WF-1000XM4, and Apple's AirPods Pro 2. One of the notable omissions on the Skullcandy Smokin Buds is active noise cancellation, which is pretty important in earbuds.

The Smokin Buds supports Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and it has a microphone on each buds taking calls. It also features auto-on and auto-connect features that allow for automatically powering the earbuds and pairing them to an input device when removed from the case. There are capacitive touch controls on the earbuds that allow the user to play/ pause streaming or receive a call. The earbuds come with expertly tuned drivers with different sound modes for different scenarios. The Skullcandy Smokin Buds offer clear full-range sound with an impressive bass depth.

The Skullcandy Smokin Buds earbuds come with IPX4 water resistance and are made from 50% certified recycled plastic, as well as 100% recycled packaging materials. The Smokin Buds come with smaller and more efficient batteries which results in an overall reduction of the carbon footprint. Up to 20 hours of playback can be provided by the earbuds together with the charging case. The earbuds themselves can last for 8 hours on a single charge and a rapid charge feature is also in charge for the Smokin Buds.

The Skullcandy Smokin Buds could catch the fancy of sustainability-focused customers with the choice of recycled materials used for its production. The smaller battery setup and overall lightweight design also put the earbuds on a decent footing. This is in addition to its decent sound output and ultra-affordable price of $19.99.
