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

The headphones sounded good, fit well and the noise cancelling did a fairly good job. I constantly had connection issues though which inevitably made me give up on using the headphones.

These are known as entry level ANC headphones. To tell you the truth you would never know. These things are fantastic! One way I guess you could consider these as entry level is the case or technically lack of case. What they do come with is a bag. That being said its a super nice bag with quite a bit of padding. So while not as good as a hard case they will provide some basic protecting for your new headphones. If you are spending over $100 on headphones I would recommend you invest in a hard shell case. There are super cheap ones on Amazon that will get the job done. These Hesh ANC are a plastic build but it just feels like a better quality than other $100 headphones I have tried. The ear cups where you have touch controls have a nice textured feel to them. They have a decent amount of padding at the top. One thing you can notice about budget headphones is the cracking or scraping sounds you hear then you flex them. These headphones make no such sound. Now I have a pretty big head so keep that in mind when I get into the fit here. When you first take them out of the box they are a pretty tight fit. I found after a couple days of pretty consistent wear along with several flexing sessions they have loosened up nicely. I also found that even after several hours of wearing I did not feel a hot spot on the top of my head under the padding. The ear pads are a standard size over the ear style. Not super small but not very big either. But there is a goof amount of cushion so even if a bit crowded for me in the ear department I found them one of the most comfortable ear pads Ive had in a pair of headphones in the price range. They are super light weight as well so I really noticed no fatigue after several hours of wearing. These are very comfortable headphones and are big head approved once you break them in. Thank goodness we have USB C charging. The big advantage to that is if your headphones are completely dead just plug them in for 10 minutes and you will get about 3 hours of battery life. They have an advertised battery life of 22 hours with ANC on. No chance Im staying up for over 22 hours to test this so I will say that after an all day session there was still battery life left. It uses Bluetooth 5 for connectivity but you are only going to be able to connect these to a single device at a time. Cant really complain about that for a pair of $130 headphones. I am noticing zero latency be it on my phone or my PC in movies or games. How do they sound? These are Skullcandy so the base thumps. One note here though, if you really want to push the audio quality of these headphones and really want the base to rattle your head, you need to turn ANC off. If you use the Skullcandy app you get a couple different sound settings but you cannot directly tweak the EQ. Again, at this price point Im not complaining. The ANC is really impressive. It blocks out a lot of external noise without making you feel that pressure like feeling you can sometimes get from active noise canceling. One cool feature I really like is that it has Tile support. So if you use the app it will help you find your misplaced headphones. If you are looking to get into the world of active noise cancelling I really dont think you can go wrong with these. The ANC is much better than any other entry level ANC headphones I have used. They look and feel fantastic. The sound quality is great. Skullcandy used to be known as the good enough headphones. With these new products they are putting out I think they are going to quickly shed that label.

The best point is its cheap but the material and sound quality feels so cheap and the plastic feels cheap to. I owned hesh 3 previously and it feels so premium. Please don’t get this if you have couple more bucks get hesh evo

I purchased these instead of the $500 dollar set. The sound is great and the noise cancellation was awesome as well. If you’re looking for a great set of headphones for a low price, don’t hesitate to get them.

Great

One of the better headphones for stereo sound very satisfied with this purchase!

Good sound quality, acceptable ANC and theyre really comfortable.

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.

Great sound and battery life. The noise canceling is fabulous.

These headphones work great. Noise canceling can be turned off if you don’t want or need. I love it that don’t hear anything but the tv or music. You do need to make sure your device is Bluetooth capable. Mine wasn’t. Just ordered a plug-in Bluetooth for my tv and works great. Could use a different voice though.
