If you want a featherlight clip-on earbud that disappears on your ear and keeps going for days between charges, choose mojawa StarClip Open Ear; if you need a rugged, fully waterproof open-ear bud with a wireless charging case and app-level control, choose Skullcandy Push 720.
• mojawa StarClip Open Ear — biggest strength: A 5.5g pearl-inspired ear clip with a metal spherical driver, 32 hours of total playtime and IP54 sweat resistance. It's the lighter, more jewelry-like option.
• mojawa StarClip Open Ear — biggest trade-off: IP54 only covers sweat and light rain, and the touch controls are minimal — there's no companion app mentioned, so you get what's built in.
• Skullcandy Push 720 — biggest strength: IP67 waterproofing, a wireless charging pouch, Rapid Charge (10 minutes for 2 hours) and app customization including EQ presets.
• Skullcandy Push 720 — biggest trade-off: Total battery tops out at 30 hours, earbud-only life is 6 hours, and the listed weight of 90g is the case-inclusive figure — this is not a featherweight setup.
• Who the mojawa is for: Runners, gym-goers and glasses/earring wearers who want all-day comfort and the longest possible battery.
• Who the Skullcandy is for: Outdoor athletes and heavy sweaters who need true waterproofing, wireless charging and app control.
The StarClip is built around one idea: get the earbud off your ear canal and make it so light you forget it's there. The ear clip weighs 5.5g, sits on the outside of your ear rather than inside it, and uses silicone-padded grips. That matters if you wear earrings or glasses, or if in-ear buds normally leave you with that pressurized, plugged-up feeling after an hour.
Sound comes from a metallic spherical listening unit with what mojawa calls 4D panoramic sound — a stereo, open-ear presentation. The brand also claims matrix audio processing that reduces leakage by around 90%, plus AI ENC noise cancellation for calls. Take the leakage claim as a manufacturer figure, but the design intent is clear: keep your music in and keep traffic, gym chatter and your running partner's voice audible. Bluetooth 5.4 is the newer spec here, and mojawa pairs it with low-power tuning for up to 32 hours of playtime with the charging case. A full charge takes about an hour.
Who should buy it: anyone who prioritizes comfort and battery above all else. Long gym sessions, all-day desk wear, and runs where you want full situational awareness. The two-year warranty and the rigid cushioned case are nice touches for a daily-carry item.
Skullcandy Push 720: Who It's For
The Push 720 Open takes the opposite approach: rugged first, pretty second. The headline spec is IP67, which means it's rated to survive full water immersion, not just sweat and drizzle. If you run in the rain, row, or sweat through everything you own, that single difference is the whole argument. The ear-cuff design keeps your ears open, and 12mm drivers handle the audio — a noticeably larger driver figure than most open-ear buds, which is Skullcandy's way of promising fuller low-end from an open design.
Battery is 30 hours total, split as 6 hours in the earbuds and 24 in the case. That's less total runtime than the mojawa, but the Rapid Charge feature softens it: 10 minutes in the case buys about 2 hours of listening. Missed charging before a workout? That's a real save.
The case itself is the other standout. It charges wirelessly — drop the buds in and they power up with no cable. The Skullcandy app adds EQ presets, custom EQ, button remapping, and even a camera shutter trigger from the earbud. That's a level of personalization the StarClip simply doesn't offer.
Who should buy it: outdoor athletes, wet-weather runners, and anyone who wants to tune their own sound and hates managing cables. The one-year warranty is shorter than the mojawa's two years, so factor that in.
Who should skip it: if you want the absolute lightest possible thing on your ear, or if you're chasing maximum hours per charge. Bluetooth 5.2 is also a step behind the 5.4 in the mojawa, and at 90g listed, the full case-and-buds kit is a chunkier carry.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for water and sweat → Skullcandy Push 720. IP67 is a genuinely tougher rating than IP54, and it's the difference between "sweat-resistant" and "waterproof."
• Best for total battery life → mojawa StarClip Open Ear. 32 hours versus 30, with roughly an hour to full charge.
• Best for a quick top-up → Skullcandy Push 720. Rapid Charge gives 2 hours of playtime from a 10-minute charge.
• Best for sound customization → Skullcandy Push 720. App-based EQ presets, custom EQ and button remapping.
• Best for clearer calls → mojawa StarClip Open Ear. AI ENC noise cancellation is listed for call clarity; the Skullcandy sheet lists no noise control.
• Best for cable-free charging → Skullcandy Push 720. The pouch charges wirelessly.
• Best for glasses and earring wearers → mojawa StarClip Open Ear. The clip-on, pearl-style design is explicitly pitched at people who find in-ear buds uncomfortable.
In my opinion, the Skullcandy Push 720 is the safer buy for most people who train outdoors. IP67 waterproofing, a wireless charging pouch, Rapid Charge and app EQ cover more real-world problems than any single spec on the mojawa. I'd only steer you to the mojawa StarClip Open Ear if comfort is your number one complaint with earbuds — the 5.5g clip, the no-pressure open fit and the 32-hour battery are genuinely compelling for all-day wear, and the two-year warranty is a point in its favor. Pick the Skullcandy for weather and control; pick the mojawa for weightless comfort and endurance.
FAQ
It carries an IP54 rating, which covers sweat and light rain. It is not rated for immersion, so don't swim or soak it. If you need full waterproofing, the Skullcandy Push 720's IP67 rating is the stronger choice.
Up to 30 hours total — 6 hours in the earbuds and 24 hours in the case. A 10-minute Rapid Charge adds about 2 hours of listening. The mojawa offers 32 hours total, so it edges ahead slightly on endurance.
Both are open-ear, so both keep you aware of your surroundings. For sweaty or rainy outdoor sessions, the Skullcandy's IP67 rating and secure ear-cuff fit suit it better. For long, comfortable gym and treadmill sessions, the lighter mojawa clip is easier to wear for hours.
The Skullcandy Push 720 works with the Skullcandy app for EQ presets, custom EQ, button configuration and a photo trigger. The mojawa StarClip Open Ear has no app mentioned — you control it with simple touch taps only.
Both are worth checking against each other on Amazon, since pricing moves. Decide on waterproofing, app control and weight first, then check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
