Our Verdict
Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless
Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless
The Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless and Apple AirPods (2nd generation) have different advantages. The Apple are better built and preferable if you want a more spacious, opening listening experience, courtesy of their open-back design. However, that also means they barely block out any background noise. The Skullcandy provide a more consistent listening experience and have a far more intuitive control scheme but don't last nearly as long on a single charge.
