Our Verdict

Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless

Skullcandy Push Ultra Truly Wireless

The Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless are better truly wireless earbuds than the Skullcandy Push Ultra Truly Wireless. The Beats offer a far better-balanced and consistent listening experience, block out way more ambient noise, and have more than double the Skullcandy's single-charge battery life. The Beats' integrated microphone is also much higher quality since it isolates speech from background noise far more effectively. Conversely, the Skullcandy are a little more portable and have lower audio latency on mobile devices. Their charging case also provides nearly six extra charges to the Beats' one.
