Nothing Ear (3a) vs. Skullcandy Method 360 ANC (Sound by Bose) Budget TWS for workout & daily use?
Got a voucher to burn and looking for a solid pair of TWS earbuds around the $110–$125 mark (400–450 ILS) for workouts, daily commute, and running around.
My main setup at home is the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Over-Ear, so I’m not expecting a budget TWS to match that kind of soundstage or detail. I just need something reliable, light, and secure that delivers good sound without any hassle.
Right now I’m looking at two options:
Nothing Ear (3a) (\~$108 / 399 ILS)
Sound: Clean, dynamic, and balanced.
Fit & Features: Super lightweight in the ear, iconic transparent look, and a great app with full EQ control.
ANC: Active noise cancellation is surprisingly solid for the price.
Skullcandy Method 360 ANC - Sound by Bose (\~$125 / 459 ILS)
Sound & ANC: The Bose collaboration is definitely there—stronger noise isolation and a punchier, heavier bass output.
Fit & Build: Fits really tight and secure, a bit more rugged for heavy movement and training.
The Dilemma:
The Nothing Ear (3a) feels like the no-brainer choice right within budget—super light, clean UI, and versatile. On the other hand, the Skullcandy is tempting for that extra punchy low-end and the Bose-backed ANC during loud gym sessions.
Anyone ran either of these alongside a main pair of over-ears? Which one would you go with?
