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

Great for everyday listening

I bought this product for its noise cancellation and to use occasionally for my phone and TV. Noise cancellation meets my needs because I still want to be able to hear some things going on around me. My complaint with these headphones is that you cannot use them while theyre charging. The battery isnt very long lasting and you have to keep them charged when youre not using them. So theyre usefulness is quite limited.

exactly as described and the noise cancellation works better than I imagined!

After six months, I started having problems with the bluetooth. They started randomly disconnecting from every device I connect them to. Sometimes they stay connected for several minutes and sometimes they disconnect immediately after they connect. Im not the only person this has happened to. Theres an entire Reddit thread about people having this problem and nobody can find a solution.

First off, Ill say Im no audiophile but I dont think these are very good headphones for the price. They are nice and light and feel pretty well made and are extremely comfortable to wear. Like another reviewer commented, it sounds a bit like I am listening to music through a pillow. The sound is rather muted. Ive tried a bunch of different songs with the ANC on and the ANC off and it really doesnt make much difference. The sound is fair at best. There is just something missing and no way to make any adjustments. They might be a little bit better than a $1.00 pair of earbuds from Wal-Mart but something is off with these at around $130. This is my first pair of over ear headphones with ANC. My understanding is that ANC is supposed to mute or filter out ambient noise so that you only hear the sound coming through the headphones. Thats how the wireless earbuds I have seem to work anyway. With a television on at a low or medium low volume in the background, Ive tried every volume level on my phone when paired with these headphones with ANC on and with it off and the only thing that affects whether or not I can hear the TV in the background is the volume of the headphones playing in my ears. Whether ANC is on or off seems to have zero effect on whether or not the sounds from the TV can be heard in the background. If I had paid $128.99 (current Amazon price) for these Id send them back for a refund in a second. In my opinion, the sound from these is average at the very best and Id never pay $130 for these. Theyd be OK for listening to a podcast, audio books or watching TV but they pretty much stink for listening to music which was the reason for ordering them.

Ive got a big head for a lady, and these feel like attaching a vise onto my head. It makes any earrings stab into my head. Theres not enough length to extend enough to seat them comfortably. Im sure a tight fit helps for noise cancelling, but Id rather hear things than be in pain.

This is my 2nd purchase of a Skull Candy headphone. Good buy

The headphones themselves are not bad sound quality wise but the construction of the headphones is absolutely atrocious. Just holding them in my hands I can feel how flimsy the construction is and these will definitely not last. I decided to return them almost instantly, if you want noise-canceling headphones and wont be moving them around at all then maybe these are for you, but if you plan on even putting these in a bag or using them for the gym or travel I would look somewhere else. Beleive the other reviews where people say how they break super easily!

I am just starting to use these, and like them very much. However, still learning which buttons are for what as there are only 4. Pretty good sound quality and NC, although these are my first pair of NC Ive ever used. Battery life has not come into play yet, as Ive only used for 2 partial days.

I live in an extremely noisy apartment and needed noise cancelling at a relatively cheap price. The first 4 months were great but now the noise cancelling feature in the left ear is malfunctioning where its making a constant creaking and sucking sound. If I turn off the feature it sounds fine but now I lose the whole purpose of the purchase. Very disappointed $100 only lasted 4 months.
