Third-party reviews

Based on 1,030 buyer reviews from online shops.
Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Skullcandy Uproar

  • Affordable price point, often cited as excellent value for money
  • Strong bass response that is distortion-free even at high volumes
  • Lightweight design making them easy to wear for standard sessions
  • Reliable battery life, typically lasting around 10 hours
  • Simple and quick Bluetooth pairing process with various devices
  • Convenient on-ear controls for volume, tracks, and calls

What we don't like about Skullcandy Uproar

  • Build quality feels somewhat cheap or 'plasticky'
  • Can become uncomfortable or cause ear soreness after prolonged use due to headband tension
  • Lacks a 3.5mm audio jack for wired passive listening
  • No included carrying case or protective pouch
  • Power button is easy to press accidentally, causing unintended shutdowns
  • Some users report the maximum volume level is lower than expected

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 However, it lacks a 3.5mm jack for passive wired listening, utilizes an outdated micro-USB charging port, and features a plastic build that some users find tight or less durable.
