The sound quality is not mind-blowing but decent enough for earbuds this size. Ideal for people riding a road bike or an e-scooter and those in the office who can’t just zone out listening to a good audiobook. Speaking of wearing a helmet: the Push Active has a “Stay-Aware Mode”, which lets sound in from your surroundings, making it safer to wear the buds in traffic. Shouting “Hey, Skullcandy!” in public every time you need the volume raised will not make you the most popular person, but it could come in handy if you’re wearing a helmet, for example. Activating it is as easy as saying, “Hey, Skullcandy!”. Having Skull iQ onboard means the Push Active can be operated via voice control. The Push Active is also sweat- and water-resistant (IP55 rated), so you don’t have to worry about ruining your headphones, even when you’re sweating buckets. On the whole, remembering that these are DJ headphones and that need to stay on your head during vigorous activity, I thought they were very successful at their task and quite comfortable compared to other headphones that also successfully stay on your head.The Skullcandy Push Active stands out as the most fitness-friendly earbuds thanks to the flexible ear hooks that keep them in place, even when your head moves around a lot. This is a fairly minor complaint, though. The depth of the earcup was just a tad shallow for me, however, and my ears touched the hard cover plate underneath and became a bit uncomfortable after a while.
The earpads are very soft foam covered in very soft and pliant pleather.
These are medium firmness memory foam pads covered with a very pliant pleather, and seem to surround my head nicely. There is a top and two side pads on the headband to cushion and secure the headphones on your head. You should be able to jump around and head-bang to your hearts content. The headphones hug your head and are light, so they don't develop a lot of inertia as you move. The ergonomics of these cans are very good. Taken as a whole, it is a pretty sweet package for those with "take no prisoners" tastes. However, the fit and finish of the rest of the headphone, cables, and carry case is really nice. The fact that they creek at the hinge when you swivel the ear pieces to their end stops just adds to the plasticky look and feel. Its big, black, blocky, and high gloss plastic Darth/Stealth look just doesn't do it for me. The design of the Mix Masters is not really up my alley. The last DJ feature is when either earcup is rotated 90 degrees and held up to the ear, it monos both left and right channel into that earpiece so you can hear both left and right channels through one ear. For working in front of the turntables, a coiled cable that's 5 to 8 feet long is include that has beefier plugs - a 90-degree 1/8" mini with screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" plug on the turntable end, and a straight large-body 1/8" mini-plug that screws into the earpiece on the other. A 4.5 foot straight cable for use with smartphones with thin 1/8" mini-plugs at either end and iPhone compatible 3-button remote. The front of the right earpiece has a mute push button - push to mute, push again to resume playing. The Mix Master is a full-size, around-the-ear, sealed headphone, and has a number of what I thought were pretty cool DJ features. Skullcandy's Mix Master headphone is a quite similar thing: not my cup of tea, but a really good headphone nonetheless.
This type of music really isn't my cup of tea, but I do think the Beastie Boys are really good at what they do. Mix Master Mike is a west coast turntablist known primarily for his work with the Beastie Boys and winning the DMC World DJ Championships for three years consecutively.
