Where these two actually differ

  • We flag BPA leaching (polycarbonate) and Mold or bacterial growth in sealed storage on the Marshall and not on the Skullcandy.
  • We flag Microplastics or foam degradation fragments and Bacterial or mold growth in case cavity on the Skullcandy and not on the Marshall.
  • The Marshall is Hard case, likely polycarbonate or EVA where the Skullcandy is EVA foam case shell, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
  • We are less certain about the Marshall grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
