Skullcandy Unveils 'Push 540 Open': A New Open-Ear Listening Experience with Natural Ambient Sound Awareness

Skullcandy Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Tetsuya Oishi) is proud to announce the 'Push 540 Open,' a new product from the Utah-based audio brand Skullcandy. The 'Push 540 Open' adopts an open-ear structure that sits outside the ear canal, proposing a new listening style that allows users to enjoy music while naturally perceiving ambient sounds. It features a hanger-type open-ear fit for secure placement and a detachable neckband/lanyard that can be swapped depending on the use case. This ensures a comfortable and stable fit in various scenarios, from daily commutes to intense workouts.

Prior to general availability, this product will be launched for pre-sale on the official Skullcandy website (skullcandy.jp) starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM JST. It will be offered at a special pre-sale price. General retail availability is scheduled for late May 2026.

Detachable Neckband for Every Scene The Push 540 Open utilizes a detachable neckband/lanyard system. In situations where a highly stable fit is required, users can attach the neckband. For a lighter experience, it can be removed, allowing for flexible use tailored to the user's lifestyle.

Open-Ear Design for Natural Awareness The open-ear design, which avoids blocking the ear canal, enables users to perceive ambient sounds even while music is playing. Because users can monitor traffic sounds and the voices of people nearby, it provides peace of mind in situations requiring attention, such as running, cycling, or working in an office.

Secure and Comfortable Fit Built for Movement The design is engineered to stay in place, ensuring comfort during continuous activity. The ergonomic hanger structure provides stability that prevents the earphones from shifting even during vigorous movement.
