With the Venue, Skullcandy promises a very complete mobile model, benefiting from true Bluetooth ergonomics and active noise reduction, but also fast charging or even the location of the headphones thanks to an integrated Tile beacon.
As far as its promises are concerned, Skullcandy is without fault: the use of wireless, the active noise reduction, the autonomy and the location of the headphones are all successes, as is the good quality of the hands-kit. free, the naturalness of listening to the environment and the highly convenient multipoint connection. On the other hand, notable ergonomic and sound defects considerably tarnish the table, lowering the rating to 3 stars.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Life Q30 is a nice little surprise. Of course, you shouldn’t expect great experience or stunning design quality from it, however, it fulfills its mission humbly on all terrains and sometimes even offers more than its direct competitors. This is a good starting point at a low price in the jungle of Bluetooth headphones with active noise reduction.
