Our Verdict

Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless

Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless

The Skullcandy Indy ANC True Wireless are similar headphones to the Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless, but they have a few extra features. The Indy ANC have an ANC feature that does a better job isolating against background noise. Their continuous battery life is longer, and their app comes with EQ presets. However, the Indy Evo have a more neutral sound profile out of the box, which some listeners may prefer.
