Skullcandy Push 720 Open S4EOW-T034
The Skullcandy 720 open-ear earbuds are praised for their comfort, especially for users with larger or modified ears, and for their clear sound and convenient tactile buttons. However, the unique fabric case is criticized for being too large for pockets and requiring two hands to open, while sound quality is noted as decent but lacking bass and sharpness. Battery life is good, but the case battery drains mysteriously when buds are stored fully charged.
