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

The sound is great, the noise cancelling is not that awesome, but gets the job done, however, the battery life is awful. They were working fine for a couple of months and suddenly the no longer hold the charge and only stay on for a couple of seconds. So now they are no longer Bluetooth headphones. Would not recommend and would not buy again, sorry.

Great sound! Good fit, noise cancellation pretty decent for the price.

Purchased 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.

...its probably not worth losing a star over, in my case anyway, but the charging cable is very very short so expect to place the headphones very close to charger when charging. Seems like a very solid set o phones so far. Cant comment on battery life at the time of writing this since I just got em.

I bought these to wear at the Gym and they do ok on the noise cancelling but they feel cheap and the ear cups are a little small in diameter for over the ear headphones. Volume level capabilities seem to be adequate but the combination of the cheap feel and noise cancelling capabilities leave them lacking in more noisy environments. Also battery life is only 3 hrs vs 30 with my Jabras but then again they are 1/3 the price. You get what you pay for...

I’m very happy with these headphones. The noise cancelling is great at home and on flights. Sound quality is nice for the price point when listening to music or videos.

Good sound quality, acceptable ANC and theyre really comfortable.

The good: The sound quality is good with nice, heavy bass. The not so good: Sold as over-the-ear, but ear cups are small, so, for me, they function more like on-the-ear. The noise cancelling works well, but there is a very noticable low volume hiss that comes form the left speaker when its engaged. The adjustments to make them larger only go so far, and even at the max, they dont extend far enough for my large head.

As you can tell by reading my reviews, I purchase a lot of headphones. Im not a snob: I see value even in cheap and handy headphones of all kinds. Occasionally I splurge on something a bit nicer. This is one of those regrettable times. In terms of Noise canceling headphones, these are the worst I have ever purchased. While the noise canceling is fine, its on par with other brands that are far less expensive. As other reviews have said, there is more clicking with these headphones than one would expect. But the low rating is due to the extreme connectivity issues. I had better bluetooth connection to my devices in 2008 than these things do. They sputter and cut out and disconnect around every half hour, forcing you to re-connect. It is agonizing. They did not start out this way, either, it happened around the two month mark. They have not been banged up in any way, or even transported with any frequency. I would return these if I could.

A pair of over the ear, active noise cancelling headphones will normally run you over $200 from a premium name brand. Skullcandy is a name brand, but they are value focused and they still tend to deliver on their products in a way that most in this price category do not. These are priced at $129, but I have often seen them marked down to $99. These are a really solid pair of over the ear headphones for that price. The build quality is good on this product, it feels durable and should hold up for years if you are careful. These feel very lightweight and comfortable, for long listening sessions. Its equipped with 40mm drivers and they sound good, better than I was expecting. It wont compete with really expensive products from Sony and Bose, but it is a good middle ground between those products and cheap over the ear headphones. For connection options, you have Bluetooth which is the best option but then you also have a normal 3.5mm headphone jack as a backup. These headphones also have a trick up their sleeve, there is a Tile tracker built in. Tiles are little bluetooth trackers that you link to an app on your smartphone and it allows you to track the object you attach the tracker to. It will also ping other phones who have the Tile app installed on, for when you completely lose one and its beyond the bluetooth range of your smartphone. You have to set this headset up with the app to allow for this functionality. But after you do, you can track the location of your headphones with the app. This product charges over USB C, with a rapid charge feature. It is rated for 22 hours of battery life, I got closer to 18 hours with ANC enabled. The active noise cancellation feature is good, but not great. Im still glad that its included because it can be really helpful in blocking out ambient noise from your environment. Another benefit of the ANC is that you get a passthrough mode that does the opposite and it actually pipes in the noise around you (while still playing your music). This is a useful safety feature when you are on a walk and need to listen for traffic or other people. This product is a solid option for an over the ear pair of wireless headphones with ANC and Tile built in. It is not as good as a premium pair of headphones, but its much better than a cheap pair that costs less than $100. Its a good middle ground for people who want something nice, with lots of features, but dont wanna break the bank.
