(NEW) Skullcandy Indy Fuel True Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earbuds

I feel like this is pretty typical of Skullcandy: you're paying for style over substance. These earbuds aren't that bad: comfortable, battery life as advertised, decent sound quality. I think they're worth the $50 I paid for them on black Friday; I think the regular retail price is exorbitant. They get one star from me entirely due to the awful case. First off, the case is rounded everywhere. It doesn't stand upright (earbuds oriented vertically, top hinging up and away from you), it only lies flat on its back (top hinge down, battery meter up) or on its front (hinge up, meter down). I dislike this because 1) it means the case won't sit open because it will fall over and 2) it actually makes it have a larger footprint sitting on a surface. I feel like it wouldn't have been that hard to flatten the bottom. Second, the damn buds don't fit in the case. They come with two sets of stability gels, (large and small) and with either set on closing the lid pushes the earbuds out of place with the charging contacts. I think removing the gels would remedy this but it's not a feature if using it interferes with the functioning of the product. On top of that, the right bud only charged if pushed firmly into the case and would only keep charging if the case was kept open. Which it can't do on its own because it's all rounded. Third, while I say the battery life is as advertised, I feel like six hours max with no type of ANC or anything on a $100 pair of buds is pretty poor. I have a pair of Anker soundcore buds that I've had for a couple years, paid $80 for, and still get a bit over seven hours per charge. Skullcandy: premium price for a budget product.
