The newly introduced Skullcandy Skull-iQ Feature Technology gives users the power to go about their daily tasks and get hands-free assistance just by saying "Hey Skullcandy." This command initiates seamless voice control features for pausing or playing content, accepting or rejecting calls, or activating Stay-Aware Mode for enhanced safety.

Skull-iQ can be found on the Grind Fuel and Push Active True Wireless Earbuds and this voice-driven platform delivers unparalleled convenience for users, especially active ones who want a safe and flexible way to enjoy their favorite content during winter sports, biking, skateboarding and more. These affordable models are especially durable for high-intensity activities.

Thanks to a partnership with [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullcandy-push-active), Skullcandy is the first to provide [voice-activated Spotify Tap access](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-assistant-earbuds).
