Skullcandy ModSoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve

Measured frequency response (dB relative) against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve. When the measurement goes above the dashed line, that frequency is louder than our preference curve, and when it goes below: it's quieter. Use the curve for comparison purposes only, as your taste may vary.

The verdict

The Skullcandy Mod XT doesn't fully set itself apart from other earbuds in a similar price range, but it does what it can do quite well. The IP55 rating, Bluetooth multipoint, and good isolation make this pair of earbuds a great choice for anyone not trying to break the bank.

✓Liked: Affordable, IP55, Isolation, Bluetooth multipoint

✕Could be better: Buttons are hard to press, Case isn't very secure
