It's not like T3 didn't like Skullcandy headphones before - after all, we have the best Skullcandy headphones buying guide - but this Skullcandy x Budweiser really made our collective jaws drop. The workout buds and wireless headphones included in the collection look striking, to say the least, and will make a lot of heads turn.
Surprisingly, this collaboration is not linked to the recently concluded Super Bowl 22; or maybe I just made the connection because Budweiser was involved. No, this limited-edition collection is a standalone project by the two companies involved and includes my fave Skullcandy Crusher Evo, the competent Skullcandy Indy Evo, the Sesh Evo and cheap-and-cheerful Skullcandy Dime, redesigned with an aesthetic unique to the partnership.
Skullcandy x Budweiser collab: Price and availability
The Skullcandy x Budweiser limited-edition offerings are available globally, exclusively at Skullcandy US, Skullcandy UK and Skullcandy AU.
All models included in the range feature an eye-popping black and red colourway with the signature Skullcandy Skull adorned with the Budweiser crown. The combination of reflective, transparent materials and colour choices play with light to "encapsulate a youthful spirit", as Skullcandy explains.

The Sesh Evo True Wireless Earbuds is very similar in specs to the Indy Evo but has a smaller form factor. It's IP55 rated with a total battery life of 24 hours (buds + case).
Finally, the Dime True Wireless Earbuds are cheap and compact with an up to 12 hours of battery life. It has a noise-isolating fit, IPX4 water rating (so slightly less water-tight than the two models above) and a micro-USB charging case with snap lid and integrated lanyard.
