Verdict

The Skullcandy Uproar is an affordable on-ear headphone featuring 40mm drivers and 'Supreme Sound' technology designed to deliver powerful, bass-forward audio with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and 32-ohm impedance. Its lightweight 82g design includes plush synthetic leather ear pillows for all-day comfort and a built-in microphone with on-board controls for music and call management. Pros include its impressive distortion-free bass for the price, secure and comfortable fit, and simple pairing via Bluetooth 4.2 with a 10-metre range and 10-hour battery life. However, it lacks a 3.5mm jack for passive wired listening, utilizes an outdated micro-USB charging port, and features a plastic build that some users find tight or less durable.
