If you’re lucky enough for the Indy to fit your ears, you’ll like the headphone’s exciting, bassy sound and good noise isolation.įor the rest of us, however, there are better alternatives like the Sol Republic Amps Air 2.0, which are more expensive at $130 (£150, AU$199) but they’re worth it for bass-lovers. The Skullcandy Indy would have been a solid pair of true wireless headphones if it weren’t for its poor fit. In terms of battery life, we had no problems hitting the claimed 4 hours on a single charge and getting another 3 charges out of the case. That’s expect for a headphone at this price, but it's still a bit of a disappointment. The bad news is that the soundstage is quite narrow and music sounds like it’s coming from the center of your head instead of around you. Overall, sound quality is soft thanks to the heavy bass tuning and lack of resolution. This ensures highs never sound harsh but it hinders detail. They are also slightly rolled off, meaning they lose energy at the top end of the frequency spectrum. Some mid-range frequencies are obscured by bass bleeding into the register but it’s not terrible. That helps make music exciting but, in our opinion, it’s far from accurate and can be fatiguing after a while. The remaining characters of the FCC ID, -S7PCW, are often.
SKULL CANDY CODE
For example, the grantee code for FCC ID: Y22-S7PCW is Y22. The FCC chooses 3 or 5 character 'Grantee' codes to identify the business that created the product.
Bass takes center stage with the Indy as it does with most Skullcandy products. An FCC ID is the product ID assigned by the FCC to identify wireless products in the market. If you get a good fit, the sound quality of the Skullcandy Indy is fun and punchy with tons of bass. The case also charges via microUSB instead of USB-C, which is annoying if you want all your gadgets to use a single type of cable. When competitors are getting over 24 hours of total playback from similarly sized cases, the battery life of the Indy is a little disappointing. Speaking of the case, it’s quite bulky compared to most true wireless headphones and only nets 16 hours of total listening time.
