Skullcandy Indy ANC headphones are great for sports and working out. These headphones are well made and have a design that makes them easy to take with you. They are sturdy enough to wear during workouts that are more intense. They are rated IPX4 for water protection, but we don’t test for this right now. But if you wear them in your ears for a long time, they might start to feel uncomfortable.
The Indy ANC earpieces come in black and have stems that dock into a rather large charge case. The earpieces fit well because of the eartips and sleeves that come with them. There are three pairs of eartips in sizes S, M, and L, and two pairs of sleeves. Inside each receiver is a 12mm driver that can produce frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz.

Where to get Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds?
The top parts of the earpieces are touch-sensitive and easy to control. But the way the controls are set up is a little confusing. A single tap controls the volume instead of the playing, and a longer press moves the track ahead or backward. We won’t go through the whole list of words and taps that go with them, but you can use taps and holds to control playback, calls, track navigation, volume, voice assistants, EQ modes, and turning on/off ANC.
The black charging case has a flip-top lid with the Skullcandy logo and status LEDs that show how much power the case has. A USB-C-to-USB cable is included.The USB-C port on the bottom of the case is used to charge the phone.
The Skullcandy app is useful for both Android and iOS. It has a Personal Sound mode that measures your hearing and changes the sound to fit it. Many people will find this useful, but it’s not necessary for the earphones to work if you don’t like the idea. The EQ modes, such as Movie, Music, and Podcast, are limited to three presets that can’t be changed. You can also turn on or off Noise Cancelling and Ambient modes in the app. There are no other settings for ANC or the environmental mics, though.
