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: 4.0595236 / 5 from 168 reviews.

Reviews

Really comfy i like the

"Really comfy i like the fact that when you wear it you can still hear everything around you I have a real problem with headphones being in my hear its weird sensation but these dont do that i also like the fact that when you put it on your ear it doesn't automatically hang up when you touch the headphone"

Angela S. (5/5)

"These earbuds hurt my ears. Very uncomfortable to wear. When I pause music or a video for more than 20 seconds, when I resume, the volume gets super high and goes back to normal after less than a second. It's like a little explosion. Super sad because I had skillcandy earbuds, and I loved them. I used them always, so they broke."

Adriana (1/5)

The charge is fast and

"The charge is fast and the battery life is awesome. Sound quality is great. The fit is good and I have small ears. I haven't used the strap for more than a handle but that is helpful. They also have a find feature."

Leslie P. (4/5)

I love skullcandy, but unfortunately

"I love skullcandy, but unfortunately these headphones were not for me. They had trouble staying in my ear. The new design wasn't fitting. My ear correctly. Might work better for somebody else's ear. But unfortunately, mine wasn't a good fit for these headphones. But the sound quality was still good. I wasn't unsatisfied with the sound quality at all. Just that they weren't functioning for my purpose of use."

Wayne G. (3/5)

These earbuds are more expensive,

"These earbuds are more expensive, but definitely not better. First there was the app issue, which was apparently addressed, but I haven't been in the right mindset to be aggravated, just in case, to try it again. They don't fit very well into my ear and that's the only reason I get the kind of earbud that loops your ear, I have an odd ear shape. I prefer a thinner loop but didn't see that option in stock. It's crazy INSANE to me that while I can hold a conversation on the earbuds, I can't hang up or answer a phone call!! Isn't that like basic earphone functionality??? Since like the invention of earphones??! Honestly, the only reason I started buying from your brand is because I realized my Samsung noise cancelling buds were triggering my seizures and I couldn't have that, obviously, and this brand seemed to have the most options without that function, but I see now that I should start looking again."

Kyla D. (1/5)

"Fits comfortably in and around the ear. Very loud for open ear headphones. Connects instantly and has a lot of different features in the app."

Brad (5/5)

This is a birthday present

"This is a birthday present that I have not yet given to the recipient. I hope they will like it, but I can't really review it at this time. I have purchased a total of 3 earbud sets from Skullcandy and have liked them all. I lost one pair, but I still have the other two pairs. I use them interchangeably - when I need to charge one pair, I put in the other. Works well, no complaints."

Shaunda J. (5/5)

They are great as an

"They are great as an apen ear earbud. My only complaint is that the part the sits at the opening or your ear is incredibly uncomfortable. The hard plastic definitely needs a soft ruberized coating. If they had that they would be absolutely perfect."

Ashleigh S. (4/5)

Great color, awesome battery life,

"Great color, awesome battery life, music is perfect and about the theses is a remarkable product to hear music, movies and TV shows."
