22-11-2024Purchased and returned same day. I returned then due to an audio artifact from the speaker driver. ANC on or off, listening to music, phone call, or just using ANC with no audio being played every 3.5 to 4.5 seconds theres a sharp low level, but intense tick. Think of it like the sharp snapping sound from the dimpled top on a metal lid to a jar of pickles or a canning lid, but compressed into like 1/10th of a second. I would have overlooked out if it was only during phone calls, but because it was anytime the unit was powered on I returned them. Research the issue before buying, there are other reviewers who have experienced the same issue. I settled on the Anker Life Tune from Wally World. I liked the overall build quality. They came with a nice carry pouch, 80% battery charge, and paired relatively quickly. I loved the over ear cup deign and the cushions were plush. Another nice thing is the relief cut in the top cushion for those that wear hats. The middle of the road ANC was acceptable, although during phone calls a bit of the audio of your own voice is played back through the headphones and sounds robotic and a tad garbled. Though it sounded fine to the person I was calling. The playback and pause buttons are NOT tactile friendly and will take time to get used to. There not enough material protruding to make them immediately recognizable.

Greater than one weekI really wanted to love this product. Sound quality is good (wish lowest volume setting was quieter though) and sound cancellation is good. But stopped holding a charge after 2 months. Bought a replacement pair, same issue. Too bad I won’t be getting another.

> 3 dayI bought these for airplane flights because I get so tired of crying babies and annoying people. OMG! They work! The sound is amazing and they are so comfortable. They are the right size to not squish my ears or be uncomfortable. Ive also started wearing them in the late evening when my partner is sleeping but I want to watch tv/ videos on my phone or tablet.

> 3 dayThought I’d leave a review after some time with these. I think these are great headphones and I find that I use them quite a bit. The noise cancellation works even without anything playing! The sound quality is good, probably could be better but these are not Bose or Beats. Skull candy is a great brand and have been following them for years because it is great value for the money. The only pet peeve is that they do not automatically turn off, so if you are like me - I’m constantly charging it. Other than that a great buy!

> 3 dayGreat sound quality especially for someone who is picky about sound, I have a big head and these dont squeeze and fit perfectly and are quite adjustable. Had no issues pairing it to my phone, Ive had them for almost 2 weeks and only needed to charge once, and it charges very fast. The buttons dont lag and work perfectly as well. The noise cancellation is great, it doesnt block out everything alone but if you have music playing even at a very low volume you cant hear a thing. Saw a few reviews say it doesnt come with a bag when it does, along with a charging cord, and an aux chord for a wired option.

Greater than one weekSkullcandy has a unique sound signature, one that sounds amazing for the price they charge. I little deeper on the bass than some brands, but clear! Their quality is always fine and they offer a very simple two year warranty. Pros 1.) No hassle warranty: they fail or break, send them in and get a skullcandy website gift card. Super simple, Ive done it before! 2.) Nice noise cancellation for the price! 3.) Easy to use, very durable! Even my grandma can use them! 4.) Love the tile feature! 5.) Includes nice carry case I own tons of skullcandy headphones and earbuds and have never been unhappy with them!

> 3 dayI wish these had an automated 20 minutes of no playback it went into a low power mode or turned off. I have came back numerous times and found out the battery was dead. Audio quality is slightly better then average.

> 3 dayI bought these because of the sale price and reviews about comfort. These are great for glasses-wearers! I can wear them for hours. If they get a little uncomfortable, the ear cups swivel so I can easily adjust where the pressure sits. I prefer using ambient mode over noise cancelling and the ambient mode is great! However, if youre looking at these for the noise cancelling, theyre pretty good. Pros: - Comfortable - Battery life - Ambient mode Cons: - Noise cancelling isnt THAT great I really love these headphones, but I definitely would not pay full price for these. But theyre great for $80!
