The Method 360 ANC have great active noise canceling, and a case built for clumsy folks like me. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors.

Unlike almost every other pair I've owned, dropping the charging case won't send the earbuds flying across the room.

Some of Skullcandy's earbuds will be able to support two voice assistants at the same time. Last year, the brand debuted its own assistant, Skull-IQ, on Grind Series and Push Active earbuds. Skull-IQ is primarily about controlling audio, including managing your media player, adjusting device settings and answering or dismissing calls. It can launch Spotify via voice command as well. For just about anything else, though, you'll need another assistant. That's where Alexa comes into play.
