Overall, the Skullcandy Spoke earbuds are a good value, entry-level pick, especially for active users, but their overemphasized bass levels and limited sound customization may be a dealbreaker for some.
Announced in 2021, the Skullcandy Spoke True Wireless earbuds are a basic pair of in-ear headphones that athletes may appreciate because of their IPX4 rating for splash and water resistance.
The earbuds are compact for a snug fit, but they do not offer support for Active Noise Cancellation, and they also miss out on a companion app for EQ sound settings. These features are very common among the best headphones.
Unfortunately, the Bluetooth wireless earbuds don’t support multi-device connectivity or NFC pairing, but for its control scheme, the touch-sensitive earbuds can be used to manage both calls and audio playback.
While there’s no mute/unmute controls for its integrated microphone, the earbuds can be used while charging like most highly-rated wireless earbuds, and they ship with three pairs of different-sized ear tips for added comfort.
Lastly, the earbuds each have an 8mm driver for a bass heavy sound profile.

our Verdict
The Skullcandy Spoke True Wireless earbuds offer a bright sound profile where both vocals and instrumentals are clear, however, while its bass response is thumpy, it is also overemphasized.
The overall sound quality is still good, but adjustment is limited to three EQ presets. Comfort-wise, they have three different-sized ear tips There’s also no ANC feature, but noise isolation is effective for blocking low-range noise.
They have a short tested 5.9-hour continuous battery life, but they do have an easy-to-navigate control scheme.
Bluetooth connectivity is middling since their tested 143ms and 155ms iOS/Android latency tends to result in slight lagging. These wireless-only earbuds are also good for calls thanks to impressive microphone recording quality and have an IPX4 water resistance rating.
