Skullcandy has expanded its audio portfolio in India with the launch of the Method 360 ANC true wireless earbuds in partnership with Bose.
The Method 360 ANC features Sound by Bose audio tuning and an adjustable 4-microphone hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) system with a customizable Stay-Aware mode.

With ANC enabled, they offer up to 32 hours of total battery life, including 9 hours from the earbuds and 23 hours from the case. A 10-minute rapid charge provides up to two hours of playback. The redesigned slider charging case features a built-in O-ring clip and an upgraded tactile finish.
Other features include Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, Google Fast Pair, multipoint pairing, low-latency audio, auto connect, wear detection, IPX4 sweat and water resistance, Spotify Tap, Clear Voice Smart Mic with background noise reduction, Natural Voice Sidetone for calls, and preset as well as custom EQ modes.
