FAQs

What does open-ear mean?

Open-ear earbuds sit outside your ear canal instead of sealing inside it. Push 540 Open uses directional audio to deliver clear sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. This makes it a great choice for outdoor workouts, commuting, and situations where situational awareness is important.

Does Push 540 Open block outside noise?

No. Push 540 Open is intentionally designed to keep you aware of your surroundings. Unlike in-ear earbuds that create a seal for passive noise isolation, this open-ear design prioritizes airflow, comfort, and environmental awareness.

How is Push 540 Open different from in-ear earbuds?

In-ear earbuds sit inside the ear canal using ear gels to create a sealed fit that blocks outside noise. Push 540 Open rests outside the ear canal and uses an over-ear hook for retention. The result is breathable comfort, no ear pressure, and increased awareness during activity.

Is Push 540 Open comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. The open-ear design eliminates ear canal pressure, and the lightweight hanger structure distributes weight securely around the ear. This makes Push 540 Open comfortable for long listening sessions, workdays, and extended workouts.

Does Push 540 Open work well with glasses?

Yes. While hanger-style earbuds wrap over the ear, Push 540 Open is designed with a low-profile support structure to remain comfortable for most glasses wearers. The lightweight build minimizes pressure behind the ear.

Is Push 540 Open good for phone calls?

Yes. The open design allows you to hear your own voice naturally while speaking, and the directional microphone placement helps deliver clear call quality during movement.

Who should choose Push 540 Open?

Push 540 Open is ideal for people who:

-Want to stay aware of their surroundings
-Run, cycle, or train outdoors
-Prefer earbuds that do not sit inside the ear canal
-Need a secure fit for high movement activity

If you want immersive, sealed audio that blocks distractions, an in-ear style may be a better fit. If you want secure, breathable awareness with strong sound, Push 540 Open is built for you.

What makes hanger-style earbuds different?

Hanger-style earbuds use an over-ear support structure to improve stability. In open-ear models like Push 540 Open, the hanger keeps the earbud locked in place while the speaker sits just outside the ear canal for awareness and airflow.

How does the detachable neckband work?

The detachable magnetic neckband connects to both earbuds for added security during runs, rides, or workouts. It keeps your buds safely around your neck when not in use, so you don’t have to pocket them or risk dropping one. When you’re done, the neckband stores neatly inside the charging case and doubles as a lanyard.

How do the touch controls work?

Push 540 Open features intuitive touch controls on each earbud for media and calls. Tap to play or pause, skip tracks, answer calls, and activate your mobile assistant—no need to reach for your phone.

Can I disable the touch controls?

Yes. If you prefer zero accidental taps during workouts, you can disable touch controls directly in the Skullcandy App. Customize your setup to match how you move.

Are Push 540 Open earbuds waterproof?

Push 540 Open has an IP44 rating, meaning they’re sweat- and water-resistant. They’re built to handle tough workouts, splashes, and light rain—but they’re not designed for swimming or full water submersion.

Overall rating: 3.9853659 / 5 from 205 reviews.

Reviews

Tough to put on. I

"Tough to put on. I also can't stand these buds that every time you try and adjust the fit, you wind up pausing, stopping the music, unpairing them, or messing with the volume because you're barely touching the outside of the earbud. Speaking of volume, the music level fluctuates and muffles a ton. I listen to everything from Meshuggah, to the Allman Brothers to the Vince Guaraldi Trio and it does it with all of them. Give me my ANC METHODS all day over these things."

Sadly the earbuds don’t fit

"Sadly the earbuds don’t fit me. They are too big for the space in my ear to old them and the ear loop is too big - making it not even touch the top of my ear to stay on. Unfortunately there is not a way to adjust them to make smaller or fit better, so I am returning them."

— Lesli H. (1/5)

I enjoy these headphones a

"I enjoy these headphones a lot! The sound quality like all Skullcandy products is really nice! It connects very well, sometimes it takes a minute for the left and right to sync up if they aren't taken out at the same time but it hasn't given me an issue yet. Battery life is amazing, I've only had a headphone die on me after literally all day use without putting it in the case, and the case has not died on me yet. One thing I do have to mention is that I wear glasses and earrings, wearing my glasses OR my earrings the headphone sit fine, but when it's both the fit can get a little weird and they don't sit on my ears nicely. But thats a small issue"

"I gave them as a gift. My friend said she is happy with the function, long battery life, and sound performance."

— CHRIS A. (5/5)

I love them! I had

"I love them! I had lg tones before and I love the fact that these kinda sit in my ears. The ear buds before would fall out of my ears. Great battery life!!"

— Jodie A. (5/5)

"Skullcandy is the best the took my old earbuds under warranty still and gave me a coupon for some new ones loving the open ear model now"

— James (5/5)

They make my ear hurt,

"They make my ear hurt, the quality of the plastic is really bad for 100$, same with the audio quality, the case opens inside my pocket and they sometimes move inisde of it and dont charge, also they came with no charging cable, which is ridiculous considering theyre 100$ and not a phone, bad product overall"

— Ignacio A. (1/5)

"Good product, the sound on them are pretty good. Easy connection, easy to put on over my ears. The ability to have them connected together with the detachable string is pretty cool and to connect it to the case as a handle is neat. I like that you can hear whats going around you and be able to tune into your music or podcasts. Great price and love the installment plans they have set up on this site as well. Overall, good product."

— Kristin (4/5)

The earbuds don't stay very

"The earbuds don't stay very well around the ear. They fall of I move to fast or if I'm exercising (moving). Sound is Ok but again, getting them to stay in place is a challenge."

— Rocio N. (3/5)
