Our Verdict

Anker SoundCore Life P2 Truly Wireless

Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless

The Anker SoundCore Life P2 Truly Wireless are better for mixed usage than the Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless. The Anker have a better-balanced sound profile, a much longer continuous battery life, and a case that holds five additional charges. They’re also aptX-compatible. Conversely, the Skullcandy have a far more comprehensive control scheme, not to mention a substantially shorter charging time, which is useful when you need to get out the door in a hurry.
