The conversation around the best sport earbuds has shifted. Open-ear earbuds design is in. And the Push 720 Open showed up to the party ready to run things. 

For years, the sport earbud category was dominated by one question: how tight can we seal these things in your ears? The logic made sense. More seal meant more passive isolation meant better sound focus. But for anyone who actually trains outdoors, runs on roads, cycles on trails, or moves through the world at speed, that same sealed-in design has always had a serious problem: you cannot hear what is happening around you. 

That is the problem the Push 720 Open was built to solve. And the reviews tell the story. 

WHAT THE WORLD IS SAYING ABOUT PUSH 720 OPEN 

TOM'S GUIDE: THE MOST SECURE CLIP-ON SPORT BUDS TESTED 

Tom's Guide put the Push 720 Open through its paces alongside the growing field of open-ear and clip-on sport earbuds, in [Article]. Their verdict on the fit was clear: the Push 720 Open are "by far the most secure cuff-style buds" their tester had used. For anyone who has had a pair of earbuds fly off their ears mid-sprint, that means something. 

They also praised the wireless charging pouch as a standout design move, calling it "super secure" and noting it can hook onto belts and bags for portability. For athletes who are always on the move, that kind of carry-anywhere convenience matters. 

ACTIVE GEAR REVIEW: "COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW I THINK ABOUT WIRELESS EARBUDS" 

Active Gear Review spent four full weeks with the Push 720 Open and came back with some of the most enthusiastic real-world feedback the product has received. Their reviewer called out the open-ear design as a genuine lifestyle shift, writing that the Push 720 Open "completely changed how I think about wireless earbuds." 

The key insight: being able to hear traffic, other people, and the world around you while still listening to music or a podcast is not a compromise. It is actually how a lot of people want to exist in their day. On Peloton rides, outdoor walks, and strength sessions, Skullcandy's Push 720 Open stayed put, sounded consistent, and delivered something most sport earbuds cannot: real awareness without asking you to pull your earbuds out. 

After four weeks of heavy use, the reviewer still did not need to recharge the case. Not once. See full article [here] 

TRUSTED REVIEWS: STRONG IP67 PROTECTION AND A FIT THAT DOES NOT QUIT 

Trusted Reviews confirmed the IP67 water and sweat resistance rating holds up in practice, noting the Push 720 Open is "built to handle sweatier use." They also highlighted the directional audio design, noting the earbuds do not excessively leak audio, making them workable in shared environments like offices and gyms without broadcasting your playlist to the room. 

Their overall take positioned Push 720 Open earbuds as a capable, affordable entry into the clip-on earbud category that brings Skullcandy's customization chops to a form factor the brand had not entered before. 

SHOP EAT SURF OUTDOOR: BUILT FOR ANY ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENT 

Outdoor and action sports publication Shop Eat Surf Outdoor highlighted the Push 720 Open at launch, describing it as "built for any activity and environment" and specifically calling out the unique drop-in wireless charging pouch as a design differentiator. [article,] they framed the Push 720 Open as the ideal earbuds for commuters, travelers, runners, and anyone who does not want to sacrifice situational awareness for their soundtrack. 

For a brand that was literally born on a ski chairlift in Park City, that framing hits exactly right. 

WHY PUSH 720 OPEN EARBUDS WIN FOR SPORT 

The sport earbud conversation has always centered on fit and durability. The Push 720 Open shows up on both fronts and adds something most audio brands have not fully cracked yet: the awareness factor. Here is the quick breakdown of why it belongs in the sport earbud conversation: 

IP67 waterproof and dustproof. Not splash-resistant. Not sweat-resistant. Fully waterproof. Rainstorm mid-run? Keep going. Sandstorm on the trail? Still covered. IP67 means it handles submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This is the highest waterproofing you will find on most open-ear earbuds in this category. 

Clip-on fit that stays locked. The secure clip-on design was built to stay put through high-intensity movement. Reviewers confirmed it in real workouts including cycling, strength training, and running over uneven terrain. 

Up to 30 hours of total battery life. Six hours in the earbuds, with the wireless charging pouch extending total playtime to 30 hours. Just drop them in the pouch to charge. No cables needed. 

Open-ear audio with directional sound. The 12mm drivers deliver real, focused audio that only you can hear. No uncomfortable seal, no pressure buildup, no feeling cut off from your environment. You get your music and the world at the same time. 

Full Skullcandy App customization. Dial in your EQ, customize your button controls, and trigger a photo from your earbud. Everything is adjustable from the Skullcandy mobile App. 

Wireless charging pouch. This is the one. A soft drop-in pouch that charges wirelessly and clips to your bag or belt loop. It is a completely different take on the charging case and reviewers consistently called it out as a favorite feature. 

PUSH 720 OPEN EARBUDS ARE FOR THE ONES WHO MOVE 

If you want to train hard, move fast, and stay aware of your surroundings without sacrificing your soundtrack, the Push 720 Open was made for you. Open-ear is not a trend. It is how athletes, commuters, and outdoor people actually want to listen. The Push 720 Open is the first Skullcandy product to deliver that, and reviewers noticed.
