Skullcandy announced today its newest EcoBuds True Wireless Earbuds, the brand's most sustainable product to date. The new, environmentally-conscious earbuds are made with 65 percent certified recycled plastics, 57 percent less heavy metals and boast a 50 percent lower carbon footprint than comparable products on the market for a fraction of the cost, making sustainability accessible to all. EcoBuds is available now globally at select retailers and on Skullcandy.com for $39.99 MSRP.
EcoBuds are thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind from the start. After conducting an environmental impact analysis using third-party partner Ecochain, Skullcandy found lithium batteries to be one of the worst carbon offenders for true wireless electronics. EcoBuds' battery-free case design, coupled with reduced virgin plastics, achieves a 1.35 kg CO2eq total carbon footprint, marking a 50% reduction from similar products. Meanwhile, the buds still offer eight hours of battery life with Rapid Charge, as well as a built-in USB-C cable allowing the ability to reverse charge from your phone on-the-go-perfect for all-day use.
