Our Verdict

Samsung Galaxy Buds

Skullcandy Push Ultra Truly Wireless

The Samsung Galaxy Buds are substantially more versatile than the Skullcandy Push Ultra Truly Wireless. The Samsung have a comfier, more stable fit, a better-balanced out-of-the-box sound profile, a better microphone, and a more comprehensive companion app. That said, the Skullcandy have an easier-to-use control scheme, a longer total battery life, and a higher IP rating.
