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

I have worked with numerous pairs of active noise canceling (ANC phones) and I’ve seen a wide variation in sound profiles, features, and the quality of the ANC function. Some are better than others. I was a bit skeptical of these because of the price; most of the ANC phones I have used that were worth anything have a higher price tag. These are better than the price suggests. Right out of the box, these headphones do not draw much attention to themselves. They’re not flashy and do not have any noticeable markings on them unless you’re looking for them. They are over-the-ear headphones which tend to be more comfortable than on-ear phones, and these have a snug fit without clamping down tightly. They adjust easily to fit almost any size head too. The padding on the cans is soft enough to not pinch, though after extended wear they do start to get a little warm. Pairing and connection with my computer was a painless affair and these were ready very quickly after they were powered on. The ANC function is far and away better than any other headphones I have worked with in this price range. They’re almost as aggressive as that of the Bose QC-15’s that I own, without that weird faux pressure sensation when the ANC is turned on. Even with the volume down low, these cancel out enough background noise to make them a serious contender. I have no complaints with the ANC. The sound quality is very good, though not quite to my tastes. The bass is very strong – much stronger than I like personally, but not out of line with what has been trending in the last decade. Where Skullcandy got it right, though, is in how well they’ve implemented the bass enhancement. Even though the bass is very strong (enough to give me a headache at higher volumes), it does not distort or turn into just low-frequency noise. More importantly, the bass enhancement does not stomp on the midrange which is the usual casualty. The midrange is warm and fairly balanced. The highs are bright and clear without being piercing. The end result is a sound profile that sounds full and rich. So many headphones with enhanced bass I have used have killed the midrange which makes music sound hollow, or distort the bass so much as to make music sound like a low-fidelity render. These are refreshing in that regard. Some headphones detect when you take them off and pause music or playback when you take them off. These do not. These come in a carry pouch that offers little in the way of drop and crush protection but it does keep them clean and free of scuffs and scratches. Also included is an audio cable for wired use as well as a USB Type C cable for charging. Overall, these are far and away better than the price would suggest. They are very comfortable to wear, they have a good sound profile (particularly if you like heavy bass) and the ANC function is better than average and competitive with much more expensive headphones. These are budget-friendly ANC headphones with higher-end performance.

I’m extremely impressed with the noise cancellation! The moment I turn on ANC I can’t hear the dryer, washer, or any low frequency noises. Talking isn’t eliminated but it’s definitely suppressed! You can even listen to music with the ANC on. The sound these produce are pretty amazing when it comes to music but answering phone calls sound a bit weird (doesn’t sound bad though, just kinda off? Might just me tho.) Overall really happy with these headphones especially since I wanted them for the ANC feature!

I love these, they are really nice. Bass is great, volume is great, super comfortable and has great control options with the headphones. BUT they leak audio realllllly bad. You can hear the exact audio clear as day from a couple feet away at just medium volume. At it’s highest volume it literally sounds like you’re playing the song aloud for everyone to hear. Something to keep in mind, otherwise I don’t mind them

Sound quality is great and battery lasts me a long time without having to recharge. Only issue I have with these is that theyre not very loud. I got this pair because Ive heard about Skullcandy having loud headphones and I definitely think they couldve been louder. Besides that, theyre a solid pair. Theyre very comfortable and nose cancellation is pretty decent for the price.

I didnt even get to try out the battery life or noise cancellation. I put these on and started listening to them. They sound terrible, not crisp and clean, volume seemed low. Not worth what they cost, not even close. Better off spending your money else where. Im returning these for sure. I did pick these out because of some of the reviews. I dont understand at all how someone could pick these over other good brands. I guess they dont know the difference between good and not good. I did compare these with a pair of beats that were the same price. The Beats were hands down better on sound quality. Ever since apple bought beats I wanted to get away from them but I guess Im gong back.

their real nice Ive had them for 2 months now and their great the noise cancellations perfect and their just perfectly loud the only thing that bothers me is the battery life it last a long time from 8am to 6-7 pm on school days but on regular days or days before school days they die quickly if you dont charge them over night or for a least 30-40 mintues.

These headphones are amazing! Especially the noise cancellation; it works like magic! Great for those of us with annoyingly loud neighbors! Theyre really comfortable, too! You wont have a sore red ring around your ears after hours of usage. Battery life is great, also! The only downside was the volume was slightly lower in the right than the left. Im not sure if its supposed to be that way, or if THIS pair I received had a minor defect. Other than that, theyre EXCELLENT! Ten stars!!

Always hesitant when purchasing headphones because there are so many options. Listened to many reviews (most were positive) and decided to give these a try (price was a big factor). Pleasantly surprised. Overall decent build/sound/volume/noise canceling. Is it the best -no. But they are definitely decent for the price.

I received them as a Christmas gift from my husband. Very easy to set up. The noise canceling works great!!!

Todo me parece excelente por el precio, lo único de lo que carece es de comodidad, tiene plataformas muy pequeñas y eso irrita después de un rato
