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

UPDATE: I cannot stress how awful the battery life is! Its MAYBE 8 hours, and I mean with ANC only. No wireless audio, just the ANC and audio from the 1/8 inch input. I dont know if my unit has a bum battery or what, but this thing EATS charge super fast, meanwhile my cheapo alternate ANC headphones can be used for literally 3 8-10 hour days on a single charge. The ANC is better than the other pair by a significant margin, but that battery life, man... Wow. Awful! Pros: - The ANC is pretty decent. Its not fantastic, but it does cut out the low droning noises very well, all without any sort of terrible loud white noise like some ANC can produce (although its there, and its noticeable), and no crunchy distortion of the main signal like some devices produce. - Thats all. Just the functional ANC - and see below because even thats not actually true... Cons: - The battery life is AWFUL: These replaced a $36 pair of TaoTronics, and for more than twice the price Im SHOCKED how bad the battery life is on this: It runs low in about 8-10 hours, even when exclusively used for ANC using a 1/4 inch jack, not as a Bluetooth wireless headset. These give me a low battery alarm (which is LOUD as HECK by the way, much louder than the audio signal coming through) at the end of one day on a full charge. The $36 TTs literally lasted DAYS without needing a charge. - The sound is Meh: Despite Skullcandys reputation for overemphasized bass, this headset has to have a rather aggressive EQ to make it sound less hollow - I have a 8dB boost around 100Hz, for instance, where I would expect to actually LOWER it. Even the aforementioned $36 TTs did not need any significant EQ to sound balanced, but these are, as I said, meh. Theyre serviceable if you use additional tweaks. - It likes to glitch out when turning on: Frequently I turn it on and hear Power O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CLICK with ANC NOT engaged (default), then hit the button to toggle ANC, but get Noise Cancelling Off instead, every single time, even though its OFF until I power cycle it (sometimes several times in a row.) Bottom line: These are NOT worth the price theyre sold at. As soon as I find a reasonably priced ANC headset to main, these will immediately become a backup pair.

The most annoying thing about these head phones is the static or distortion sound coming out the left ear. Sound worsens when noise cancelling is turned off. This distortion is not noticeable when listening to music, but if you just use this to cancel out noise, that static distortion sound will get annoying. I would not call these noise cancelling. They are more like noise deadening. I like that though.

Best $$$ I’ve spent in 2021! Sound quality is superb, cancels out all noise!!

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.

Stopped charging after 5 uses

Livianos. Muy buen sonido. La cancelación de ruido es maravillosa. Me parecen muy buenos para el precio que tienen

Honestly the best ones I ever had

PROS: -INCREDIBLE battery life. Like I never, not once, ran low on battery, and I forgot to charge it some nights. -Comfortable -Portable with the included case -Good looking -7/10 ambient noise feature -8/10 NC feature CONS: -Bad microphone, people in my calls and discord channels could not hear me when these were connected. -When the NC feature is on, there is a high-frequency beep noise that stays constant. Older people in the house could not hear it when they put the headphone on but everyone with good hearing heard it loud and clear. It was definitely noticeable with music on, even at max volume. -Kept disconnecting from the device out of nowhere. Had to be manually reconnected several times within a day. -Lacks good bass and has low-medium sound quality. Notes: I had purchased 2 of this product, this review applies to both. The first one was returned due to the beep noise, and the replacement was also just as bad. It was returned as well.

I 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.

I got these for my boyfriend. He works in an office setting that can sometimes get loud with telephone and talking noise. These work really well and he says they definitely help block the noise.
