Amazon Prime Day sale: The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC earbuds are available for $76 as part of Amazon's Prime Day sale event, which is equivalent to 24% off. We named them the best-sounding noise-canceling earbuds under $100, and they're at the best price (down by $24) that we've seen since they launched.
Back in April Skullcandy and Bose teamed up to create the Method 360 ANC, an impressive-sounding pair of affordable noise-canceling earbuds. At launch, Skullcandy made a big deal about the buds having an introductory price of $100 instead of their list price of $130. Well, for Amazon Prime Day, the company has managed to shave off another $24 -- the Method 360 ANC can be had for just $76 (white, black and red colors), which is an even better deal on a set of buds that was already a good deal at $100.

I have a hands-on review of the Method 360 ANC you can read, but the quick take on them is that they're basically a budget version of Bose's $299 QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. With "Sound by Bose," not only do the Method 360 ANC buds sound better than most earbuds in this price class (they sound very similar to Bose's $170 QuietComfort Earbuds), but they also fit comfortably and securely thanks to Bose's Fit Kit system that features stability bands to lock the buds in your ears.
The buds in plasma red. They also come in four other colors.
While they share many traits with Bose's flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, they're lighter and lack the more premium finish of those pricey buds. Also, their noise-canceling isn't up to the QC Ultra's best-in-class ANC standard. But it's still effective and better than the noise-canceling I experienced with previous Skullcandy earbuds I've tested.
One drawback I should note is that their case is fairly bulky. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me, but most cases are about half the size. Also, I felt that their voice-calling performance could be a little better. But aside from those caveats, it's safe to say these buds are a very good value, especially at their new low price of $76.

Why this deal matters
There are lots of earbuds to choose from, but you usually have to pay upward of $150-$250 for a pair of premium earbuds. While you can argue over what constitutes a premium model, the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC has a lot of the traits of a premium model but costs significantly less.Â
