Many headphones and mobile audio solutions are outfitted with voice control functionality, but the Skullcandy Push Active earbuds are poised to truly take advantage of this technology for a completely hands-free experience. The headphones are capable of being spoken to for changing the volume, skipping tracks, pausing playback, launching Spotify and much more. The earbuds will provide up to 44-hours of listening time to accommodate multi-day use without the need for constant charging.
The Skullcandy Push Active earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and an IP55 rating for sweat and water resistance. Available to purchase soon, the headphones can even be used for snapping photos without having to physically activate the smartphone for a truly intuitive user experience.
