Skullcandy EcoBuds are at all-time low price ahead of Prime Day
The Skullcandy EcoBuds are on sale for $24.99 for October Prime Day.
SAVE $15: Skullcandy's already inexpensive EcoBuds are at an even lower price ahead of October Prime Day.
Looking for a budget-friendly pair of earbuds? As of Oct. 7, the Skullcandy EcoBuds are on sale for $24.88 — 62 percent off their MSRP of $39.99.
The earbuds come in a fun blue tie dye color, "Glacier," and perform similarly to other inexpensive earbuds. The EcoBud's commitment to sustainability sets it apart from other budget earbuds. To cut down the earbuds' carbon footprint, Skullcandy uses mostly recycled post-consumer plastic that typically ends up in landfills or the ocean and these buds don't feature a battery in the storage case to limit the use of lithium. Skullcandy claims that this cuts the carbon footprint of the EcoBuds by 50 percent compared to similar models.
However, the EcoBud's commitment to sustainability do make them different from similar models. The case doesn't shut, instead, the EcoBuds are kept in place via magnets and Mashable's Leah Stodart writes that it doesn't take much to accidentally jostle them out. Additionally, the case does not charge the earbuds, but they do have an eight hour battery life.
If you're choosing to stock up on a pair of cheaper earbuds, perhaps pick the one that limits e-waste.
