What can you expect from a game of wireless headphones of $20? More than you probably expect, according to Skullcandy. The company’s latest model, the Smokin’ Buds True Wireless, have a battery life of eight hours per charge, with a total of 20 hours when its charging case is included. That’s a considerable increase in longevity over Skullcandy’s other budget earbuds, the Dime, which only last 3.5 hours on a charge, for 12 hours total.

The rest of the features and specifications of the Smokin’ Buds are pretty standard for the budget segment:

  • Quick charge: 10 minutes of charging gives you two hours of play time
  • IPX4 resistance to sweat and water
  • Music, movie and podcast EQ modes
  • Noise isolating fit with various sizes of silicone ear tips
  • Touch controls for calls and playback
  • Use either of the two buds for music and calls only
  • Bluetooth 5.2

Skullcandy says the Smokin’ Buds have been designed with sustainability in mind, which in this case means they’ve been made with 50% certified recycled plastics and shipped in 100% recyclable packaging.

“With 25% of headphone sales occurring in the sub-$30 price range,” said Jason Luthman, Skullcandy’s Director of Global Product Management, “our goal was to provide a better option that would mitigate the environmental impact of this popular high-volume category. These headphones pack a punch with a full range of sound you’d expect from higher-priced headphones, all while putting less stress on the outdoor playgrounds we love.”

The company claims that the headphones have a total carbon footprint of just 2.67kg. Not many companies publish the carbon footprint of their wireless earphones, but it’s worth noting that if you want to decrease the size of your footprint, Skullcandy’s Dimes is still a better bet, at just 1.47kg.
