Our Verdict
Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless
Anker SoundCore Liberty Air Truly Wireless
The Anker Soundcore Liberty Air are better truly wireless in-ears than the Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless. The Anker have a more lightweight design, and their case is more portable. The sound quality is more neutral, but some may prefer the heavy bass of the Skullcandy. The Anker isolate more noise and are more versatile for everyday casual use. However, the Skullcandy have a better control scheme that offers volume control, which the Anker lacks. The Anker also have a longer battery life on one charge and maxed out our testing facility for wireless range.
