Skullcandy revives iconic headphone line with launch of Icon ANC in India

Skullcandy's new Icon ANC redefines on-ear headphones with active noise cancellation, IPX4 water resistance, a durable metal frame, plush cushions for comfort, and Stay-Aware mode for ambient awareness—perfect for both daily use and rugged adventures

Skullcandy has officially reintroduced its popular Icon headphone line with the launch of the all-new Icon ANC, marking nearly two decades since the original model made a splash in the boardsports community. Designed for today’s active lifestyle, the modernized Icon ANC delivers a blend of style, comfort, and cutting-edge performance. The headphones are now available in India at a special launch price of INR 8,999 on Skullcandy.in and select retail outlets nationwide.

“The original Icon was a fan favourite in the active lifestyle community,” said Amlan Bhattacharjya, Founder and CEO of Brandeyes Distributors Pvt Ltd, Skullcandy’s exclusive partner in India. “We’ve reimagined it with a fresh design and features tailored for a new generation that embraces adventure and movement.”

The new Icon ANC sets a new benchmark for on-ear headphones, introducing active noise cancellation—a rarity in its category. Built for everyday use and rugged environments, the headphones boast IPX4 sweat and water resistance, a durable metal headband, and plush ear cushions for long-lasting comfort. An Adjustable Stay-Aware mode allows users to stay alert to their surroundings when needed.

Battery life is another standout, with up to 60 hours of playtime (50 hours with ANC on) and Rapid Charge technology that provides four hours of listening time from just a 10-minute charge.

The headphones come in Black and Bone colour options and include a protective travel bag for easy portability. Additional premium features include Clear Voice Smart Mic, custom and preset EQ modes, low latency audio, Mimi Personal Sound, Google Fast Pair, Spotify Tap™, and multipoint pairing. Users can also fine-tune settings via the Skullcandy app and enjoy on-board call and media controls with customizable buttons.

With the Icon ANC, Skullcandy not only pays homage to its heritage but also pushes forward with a product designed to meet the needs of today’s music lovers, commuters, and fitness enthusiasts alike.
