The Smokin Buds Matcha are the brightest way to buy Skullcandy’s budget true wireless earbuds. Matcha is a fresh lime green, closer to a highlighter than to dark tea, applied to the case, the lid and the buds themselves, with soft grey ear gels. It is a colour that is easy to find at the bottom of a gym bag and hard to leave behind on a café table. Underneath, the Smokin Buds Matcha are the same Skullcandy earbuds as the other colours: 6 mm drivers, up to 20 hours of total playback with the case, IPX4 sweat resistance, touch controls and Music, Movie and Podcast EQ modes.

Who the Matcha colour is for
Matcha suits people who want their gear to look lively: students, runners, gym regulars and anyone who likes colour-matching with trainers or a sports bottle. The main practical benefit is visibility. A green case stands out in a dark backpack and on a bench, so the Smokin Buds Matcha are less likely to be forgotten than a black pair. The trade-off is that a light colour shows dirt over time, so wipe the case with a slightly damp cloth now and then, and keep it away from denim, which can transfer dye to light plastics.
Made for workouts and outdoor use
For training, the Smokin Buds Matcha carry an IPX4 rating, which Skullcandy describes as sweat and water resistant: they handle sweat, light rain and splashes, but not swimming or a shower. Touch controls let you pause or answer a call without reaching for your phone, and you can wear just one bud to stay aware of traffic on an outdoor run. Picking the right size of ear gel from the S, M and L sets in the box is what keeps them steady during movement, and a tighter seal also improves bass.
Sound tuned for energy
Skullcandy aims these earbuds at big, clean sound. Each bud has a 6 mm driver with a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, a 16Ω impedance and a 104dB sound pressure level, according to Skullcandy. The default Music mode leans on bass, which suits gym playlists; Podcast mode pushes voices forward for audiobooks and talk shows, and Movie mode opens up the sound for video. There is no active noise cancelling, so outside noise is reduced only by the seal of the ear gels.
Battery for a full week of commutes
Skullcandy lists up to 8 hours in the Smokin Buds Matcha and 12 more hours in the case, a total of up to 20 hours depending on volume. For many people that means charging the case once or twice a week. A 10-minute charge gives up to 2 hours of play, useful before a workout. Skullcandy does not publish the time for a full charge, and its in-the-box list does not include a cable, so a USB-C cable you already own will be needed.
The rest, in brief
The Smokin Buds Matcha have a mic in each bud, voice-assistant access, auto on and connect when you open the case, and work with any Bluetooth device, Android or iPhone. Skullcandy lists Bluetooth 5.2 in its feature list (the spec table says 5.1). The earbuds and case use 50% certified recycled plastics, and the case lid is light, so give it a pocket of its own.
Who This Is Not For
The Smokin Buds Matcha are not for anyone who wants a discreet look at work: the lime green is bright and noticeable. Like the other Smokin Buds colours, they have no active noise cancelling, no wireless charging and no cable in the box per Skullcandy’s list. IPX4 rules out swimming. A light colour also needs occasional cleaning to stay fresh. If you want something that hides wear, True Black is the easier option.
