Our Verdict

Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless

Skullcandy Push Active True Wireless

The Skullcandy Push Active True Wireless are better overall headphones than the Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless. While both headphones are well-built, the Push Active have a more comfortable and stable in-ear fit, a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and a better battery performance. Their companion app also offers more customization features. However, the Indy ANC have a significantly better noise isolation performance and lower Bluetooth latency on iOS and Android devices.
