Sweat and water resistant (IPX4 rating), the Skullcandy Icon headphones feature Bluetooth 5.3 LE (as well as a 3.5 mm mini-jack input), customizable buttons, an equalizer and the Google Fast Pair, Mimi Sound (to personalize the sound rendering according to your ear) and Spotify Tap functions. The battery life is up to 60 hours. And to counterbalance the noise cancellation, there is an adjustable Stay-Aware mode to remain aware of your surroundings if necessary.
