Skullcandy Hesh ANC Over-Ear Headphones, Active Noise Cancelling, Wireless Charging 22 Hours Battery Life - True Black

This was a okay headset while it lasted. Unfortunately, it stopped pairing with my phone a few months into owning it. I contacted customer services and they ended up giving me store credit since they couldnt replace it due to shortages. The noise cancelling was a bit weak, but alright, and the sound quality was decent enough for the price. The short lifespan makes it so I cant recommend. I might have just been unlucky though, every manufacturer has a few duds.

Speakers are blown and we can’t return them!

Skullcandy’s description says it all: wireless simplicity with noise canceling. These aren’t headphones for audiophiles who want to control and customize every sound option. These are headphones for people who want affordable Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and decent sound output. I’ve noticed the ANC works better when I’m listening to music rather than if I’m watching a tv show or movie to cancel out the background noise in my home. If I am watching a show, I can hear someone else watching a video in the next room; the noise of their video is cut about 75-80%. If I have music on, the noise of their video is cut about 90-100%, depending on the type of music. Switching ANC on and off is easy. The headphones have a dedicated button for that, one second press to turn on, one second press to turn off. So it’s very quick if I need to hear someone speaking. The button has a raised open circle (◯) on it, so once you get used to the different symbols on the buttons, it’s very easy to feel it. The headphones also provide audio indicators (“Noise cancelling off/on”) when turning the ANC on and off. The other buttons include + for volume up/track forward, ⚫ for power/play/pause, and -- for volume down/track back. I’ve used Skullcandy headphones for years when working outside, and I really like that they keep using physical buttons. I find physical buttons so much easier to use and know what button I’m pressing. Sound quality is okay. I’ve noticed that the bass seems punchy, like I can feel it echoing against my ears. I don’t often mess with sound profiles, but this is a case where I would try to reduce the bass for my audio comfort. Otherwise, the sound is average to good. The headphones stayed in place on my head, from sitting at my desk to walking around the house, folding laundry, and putting it away. I didn’t try with intensive activity, but as I mentioned above, I’ve used the previous versions of Skullcandy Hesh for working outside and they stay put. These look and feel almost identical to my old Hesh headphones, so I’m confident these will perform the same. They are tight; I sometimes get a headache when wearing them. The headphones charge via USB-C. The box includes a USB cable and an audio cable. I used the headphones for about a week, probably 20 hours, before needing to charge. I like that I can get 3 hours of use with a 10 minute charge, very handy for if I’m going somewhere and forgot to charge ahead of time.

I bought these for use on walks and just to listen to tunes wherever. I mainly use while at the Zoo or in the grocery store. When outside the boise cancelation is useless, wind piercing through the NC microphones and creates a loud whistling, turn off NC and its gone, they block enough sound when its off so I dont worry about it. Makes the functions completely useless though.

When headphones focus on bass, usually they sound as if you were listening to music through a pillow, but these sound really great and clear. When you turn on the noise cancellation, it reduces a little of the bass boost, which may be good or bad depending on the music genre you are listening to. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 as the Amazon box was intact while the headphones box was smashed, meaning they didnt care sending me some headphones that mightve been damaged. Fortunately, that wasnt the case.

The noise cancellation is astoundingly good. I use them whenever I go, and without audio on you cant even hear a car door slam. They are the best bang for your buck. I dont wear them too long because my ear does hurt after awhile (I have a big head.) But they are easy to clean and absolutely perfect.

Buenísimo el audio

The headphones when turned on will mute background noise! If you constantly hear electricity or any tiny noise that irritates you, these headphones are perfect!! They fit perfectly over the ears and the sound is like nothing I’ve ever heard before! Money well spent!

These headphones feel fairly weak in quality, as in the actual build quality. I doubt they would last very long with everyday use. Noise cancellation leaves much to be desired, and I believe it can sometimes overpower the actual music itself. I will say this, they are loud!

Disconnected over and over again repeatedly and then will not reconnect. Absolute GARBAGE!!!
