She keeps a finger on the pulse when it comes to the most exciting and innovative tech and is happy to tell you exactly what she thinks about it too. They act in a similar way to ear wings, giving the buds a more secure, snug fit than they would have otherwise - especially during exercise.

The stabilizing wings are uncomfortable and the small ear tips are just too big, so I can’t really recommend it to anyone with smaller ears like myself. There is up to 6+ hours of play time in the ear buds, and up to 24+ hours in the case, allowing up to 30+ Hours of total play time. Turn on the Bluetooth function with the [Bluetooth] switch and then select [Indy Evo] from the list. The Indy Evo doesn’t support the aptX codec and is therefore unable to deliver the higher quality, bit-rate efficient streaming many of its rivals can.If you’re outside of Bluetooth range, you can also see on a map where your phone was last connected to them. If you’ve misplaced your earphones and you’re still in Bluetooth range, Tile will help you find them.

This feature also allows the user to utilize either the LEFT or RIGHT bud in Solo Mode, rather than being limited to just one specific side. It seems promising with IP55 water and dust resistance, Tile integration, and more features in the Skullcandy app, but every product has its caveats.

Their main downside is that they do not support wireless charging , but Skullcandy has the Indy Fuel model, a replica of the Indy Evo but with wireless charging. If you have further questions about the pairing process, check the Skullcandy Indy Evo pairing page for answers. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water. It’s great to have this level of control, but admittedly the controls are very finicky and don’t always work the first time, especially when it comes to the commands that need you to tap and then hold. There’s also full media controls for each bud, so that you don’t have to remember whether you use your right or left to change the volume.

We’ve made a big improvement to how we demonstrate the microphone performance of products we review. Although, if you’re having any challenges using either bud solo, you may follow these simple steps to ensure ease of use when pairing and switching between Solo and Stereo Modes.

The stabilizing wings are pretty uncomfortable — they’re supposed to fit securely inside the ear’s concha, but they end up putting a lot of pressure on my concha and antihelix. It also has better isolation, and the frequency response, while still bassy, is closer to our house curve. You will hear a voice prompt as well as a noticeable amplification of your surroundings to indicate Ambient Mode has been activated. There’s no battery level indicator for the earbuds or case (although there are battery indicator LEDs on the front of the latter) and you can’t switch EQ modes within the app. If you’re having a hard time closing the lid completely, it is likely because the earbuds are not set correctly or the gels are interfering.

The Skullcandy Indy Evo sound surprisingly good, they won't win any awards for outstanding quality but for day-to-day use they'll be perfectly fine.

You will be able to listen up to 30+ feet (10+ meters) away from your paired device, though your connection experience may vary based on your environment.
