Our Verdict

Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless

Altec Lansing True Evo Truly Wireless

The Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless are better headphones than the Altec Lansing True Evo. The Skullcandy include volume controls, which the Lansing lack, and a control scheme that is more complete. The Skullcandy also have a longer battery life on a single charge, but their case only holds one additional charge, which is disappointing compared to the Altec's four. The Altec also feel better built and have less of a plastic feel than the Skullcandy, especially in regards to their case.
