The Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC follows on the brand’s popular Hesh series. In particular, this is an upgrade for the original Hesh ANC. So basically what would be the main difference between the two models. This review is my brief take on the two. First, the Hesh 540 ANC takes a different form factor from the original Hesh ANC. Instead of the matte black plastic, the newe Hesh 540 ANC uses glossy plastic. Also the head band has a curvatures at the area near the cuffs and sports the white Skullcandy logo. The controls also have been designed to have a more minimal aesthetic. It has a round rectangular power switch with rounded edges and also functions as a toggle switch for ANC functions. Beside the power butter is a joy button which functions as volume controls, skip and back buttons, etc. Also, there is a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm port which can be useful when you need to use a cable. But the most significant upgrade is having a battery life of 65 hours which is up from what I believe is at 30 hours from the original. But the most signifcant upgrade from the original Hesh ANC is app support. I was quite fustrated that the original Hesh ANC didn’t have app support. WIth the app support you can do several things, But upon setup you will soon discover there is an option to update the firmware. And the usual controls such as ANC and volume controls are present. But on top of that, there is support for THX which gives you a spatial sound experience. There is a lot of improvements on the Hesh 540 ANC. But I also have my gripes too. First, when charging, maximum power of 90% only be achieved. I do not know if this a battery savings feature or not. Still, it is quite frustrating that a new model would have this. Second, is the propensity for dropouts. Often, audio would be cut off quite often in spite of a new firmware upgrade. This seems to be corrected by turning off and on the headset. Overall this is a solid headset but unfortunately I have to remove one star due to the dropouts.

Comfortable, maneuverable, simple to use, and quality sound performance. Really enjoy the 'on-board' commands and 'easy' connection to all of my devices. Five stars!

It has great battery life, great distance on Bluetooth and very comfortable but my only complaint is that it slides off your head when laying down.

I got them as a gift and they love them. They use them everywhere every time we go out and even when we’re just around the house they are very reliable. I even use them myself sometimes they’re very comfortable and have great sound quality and a somewhat luxurious look.

My niece loves them. Got them for her birthday. She raves about them all the time. I have used them and they are so comfy on the ears and the long lasting charge helps soooo much!

The Hesh 540 hits all the right notes: excellent sound, reliable noise cancelling, long battery life, and comfort. For anyone wanting a dependable pair of wireless headphones.

These headphones are amazing, i wore them on my trip from texas to florida and the sound quality and comfort is amazing!! i highly recommend this pair for anyone looking for long term use comfort and great sound quality.

I like the sleek design and the good sound quality. However, the limitation of only being able to charge them via the computer is a real drawback. There are two buttons-power on/off and the control button; the control button is designed to be multi-functional however its not as pragmatic as I'd like. Additionally, I'd had to reset them multiple times b/c they randomly stop. The do reset and they work fine.

These are great. They are very comfortable on the ears and the sound quality is top notch. They do however fall off when I'm on the bench press at the gym.

Was lucky to catch these when they were on sale. Well worth it, provides an immersive experience, hold a great charge and fits on the ears comfortably like this brand is known for.

Great sound and comfortable wear. Love theses headphones

These are the second set of Skullcandy Hesh headphones we have bought. My wife wears them to bed, and eventually they do wear out or get broken. The sound quality is great. The battery life is pretty good for something that gets so much use. We are very pleased with these, will buy them again when necessary, and recommend them to other customers.

Love these. Simple to connect and use on my PC. I actually started grabbing and using these over my Apple AirPod Pros. Sound quality is great!

Worth every dollar, besides being lightweight and the sound is great, they're great for watching movies with the thx tec.

These headphones are clear and crisp. They are the best noise cancelling headphones that I've ever bought. The fit is great and are very comfortable.

The sound is high quality. It is a durable product. It connects easily.

Clear sound. No complaints. Would prefer a tighter fit, but great quality

These have good sound quality, but compared to other head phones I didn'tlike them as much. The noise canceling is great, but when I needed to hear outside of the headphones i couldn't snd that didn't work for me. Overall great headphones though.

Definitely one of the best buy I have ever had, great quality and super lightweight.

Sounds great love the bass and the feeling is comfortable
