Steady on, tiger! These animal-print earbuds with Bose sound are still on sale this Prime Day, and someone you know needs ‘em (read: me)

My colleague (his name is Dash Wood; you’ll often run into him within this publication’s digital pages) thinks “these earbuds are the worst color I’ve ever seen” and reader, that just makes me want them more.

I recall once, many moons ago, I wrote about the Huawei FreeBuds Lipstick and felt the same kind of admiration for the design. It spoke to me. Basically, I love it when audio tech is designed to look thoroughly unlike audio tech – an extension of an alternative and slightly quirky but oh-so-musical personality.

And this is that product, but in 2025. The product is the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC and what you need to know is that they look like Bose (those buds look remarkably similar to the QuietComfort 2, no?), the ANC and sound’s been handled by Bose, but they’re much (much!) cheaper than anything made solely by Bose. How much cheaper? Right now, they’re just $75.99 (was $129.99) in the US or only £75 (was £100) in the UK. Result!

Amazon Prime Day last-minute deal: Skullcandy 360 ANC (UK)

My colleague Max has compiled a hands-on review of the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC, and while I’ve yet to have the pleasure of listening to them for any significant amount of time, I do love what I see here – Bose is a class-leader in ANC and when you know this company handled the stuff under the hood here, many people will start to take notice.

And anyway, Skullcandy is a strong contender in its own right for sound – and in the looks department, my stone-cold goth heart had always loved the little skulls on the buds that the brand is known for.

If they’re not for you, I’ve got other options at the price point I’ll link to below. But if you came here for a say-something fashion moment as well as new earbuds, I think you just found them.
