I'm absolutely in love with the marketing images for Skullcandy's new earbuds, which I hope are deliberately hilarious: the images are here to promote the firm's three new sporty earbuds, two of which feature earhooks in different designs for secure fit, while the third is just an in-ear fit.
Push Play Active, Push ANC Active and Sesh ANC Active: key features and prices
The cheapest buds here are the Push Play Active, at $59.99. They're IP55 rated for sweat and water resistance and promise up to 34 hours of battery life, 10 with the buds alone and a further 24 via the charging case. There's fast charging – 2 hours of playtime from about 10 minutes charging – and an adjustable stay-aware mode to ensure you can hear what's going on around you. The built-in mic has noise cancellation and the buds have multipoint for easy pairing. They have a narrow ear-hook shape that fits around the top of the ear.
The Push ANC Active are $99.99 and as the name suggests add ANC to the Push Play features. Battery life is a still very respectable 37 hours with ANC on (7 hours for the buds, 30 for the case) rising to 58 with the ANC off. They're IP67 rated for sweat and water, charge wirelessly, and have adjustable 4-mic noise cancellation for calls. These have a larger ear hook that goes all around the back of the ear.
The third set of buds are the $89.99 Sesh ANC Active. Once again, there's multipoint pairing and IP67 water and sweat resistance, adjustable stay-aware mode, and impressive battery life: expect up to 28 hours with ANC and 48 without.

Additional notes:

- Skullcandy usually offers good bang for your buck, and these look like well-specced, strong-value buds.
