Skullcandy’s Icon ANC headphones are back—and they’re smarter than ever

Skullcandy’s bringing the Icon back—and it’s not just riding on nostalgia. Originally a favourite in the snowboarding and skateboarding scene, the new Icon ANC has been reimagined for 2025 with proper next-gen upgrades. You now get active noise cancellation, up to 60 hours of battery, and IPX4 water resistance, all wrapped in a familiar on-ear form factor. Priced at ₹8,999, it’s available now on Skullcandy.in and across select offline stores.

Retro-inspired, everyday-ready

At first glance, the new Icon ANC gives off major old-school energy—but everything under the hood is built for today’s lifestyle. The metal headband adds strength without the bulk, and the plush ear cushions make it surprisingly comfortable for all-day use. It's built to survive your daily commute, gym sessions, and everything in between, thanks to its sweat and splash-proof design.

You also get Adjustable Stay-Aware Mode, which lets you stay connected to your surroundings when needed—a big plus for safety. Sound-wise, it’s tailored to you. With Personal Sound by Mimi, the headphones adapt to your hearing profile, so whether you’re into bass-heavy tracks or chill podcasts, the audio stays crisp and balanced.

Packed with features, not fluff

Battery life is one of the biggest flexes here—60 hours with ANC off, and 50 hours with ANC on. Running late? Just 10 minutes of charging gives you four hours of playback. These are built to last longer than your playlists.

Smart features are baked in too. There’s Google Fast Pair, Google Finder support, and Spotify Tap for quick access to your music. You also get multi-device pairing, low latency audio for gaming, and even button customisation through the Skullcandy app. A Clear Voice Smart Mic ensures your calls sound as good as your music.

Old-school cool meets modern minimalism

Available in black and bone, the Icon ANC delivers a clean, confident look that still nods to its board sports roots. It’s designed for creators, commuters, and anyone who wants their headphones to match both their outfit and their playlist.

In short? The Icon ANC brings the past forward—without skipping a beat.
