Our verdict on each
Skullcandy
Skullcandy suits shoppers who want everyday audio under a single brand, with headphones, earbuds, speakers and portable speakers starting at $14.99 and 60 hours of battery on its noise cancelling headphones. The trade-off is a 1 year warranty and support limited to help centre and email.
TECKNET ONLINE
TECKNET ONLINE suits UK shoppers who want affordable wireless audio, a warranty of 2 years and a returns window of 30 days, rather than a deep catalogue. Headphones and earbuds start at £26.99, and noise cancelling is standard on what you buy rather than a paid extra.

Pros and cons
Skullcandy
Pros
- Headphones, earbuds, speakers and portable speakers all start at $14.99, so nothing in the catalogue needs a premium budget.
- Noise cancelling is offered and the battery reaches 60 hours on that headphone range, above the 48.5 median for this category.
- Gaming headsets cover pc, playstation and xbox, and the gaming products listed are wireless.
Cons
- Cover runs 1 year, placing Skullcandy at 29 of 56 brands on warranty length.
- Support runs on help centre and email only, so written help replaces a phone line or live chat.
- Charger output tops out at 15 W and GaN is not used, so the accessory range suits small top ups rather than laptops.
TECKNET ONLINE
Pros
- Headphones and earbuds start at £26.99, below the $29.99 entry point listed for HyperX.
- Noise cancelling and wireless both come as standard, so the headline features are not held back for a pricier model.
- A warranty of 2 years with an extended warranty available, and returns of 30 days on top.
Cons
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so questions go by email or the help centre with no phone line listed.
- Shipping is listed for GB, so a single delivery market leaves buyers elsewhere without a listed shipping option.
- Platforms are listed as pc, so anyone shopping for a headset built for a console has to look elsewhere.
Who each suits
Skullcandy
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want everyday listening gear in one place, covering headphones, earbuds and speakers at entry prices of $14.99.
- Commuters and travellers who want noise cancelling with 60 hours of battery.
- Multi-room households, since multiroom is supported on the speaker side.
Who should look elsewhere
- Soundbar, hi-fi and turntable buyers, since JBL covers headphones, earbuds and speakers while Skullcandy lists headphones, earbuds and speakers.
- Headset specialist shoppers, since HyperX lists headphones and earbuds and CORSAIR lists headphones.
TECKNET ONLINE
Who it suits
- UK buyers replacing wireless headphones or earbuds on a tight budget, who care more about entry price and noise cancelling than breadth of range.
- Computer users on pc who want a wireless headset with long battery life for calls, music and gaming sessions.
- Shoppers who value a 2 year warranty and a 30 day returns window on a low priced purchase.
Who should look elsewhere
- JBL buyers who want speakers, soundbars and turntables alongside headphones, because headphones, earbuds and speakers runs well past the headphones and earbuds sold here.
- Shoppers after a headset built for a console, since the listed platform is pc and a gaming specialist such as HyperX may fit better.
- Anyone who wants a headphones only catalogue, since the audio range here already covers headphones and earbuds and CORSAIR's headphones adds nothing further.
