First part would be my store experience. I went in, was approached by employee, and was helped quickly. I asked him if they price matched and indeed they did and he even found them cheaper than i did on Amazon! Saved me a good $25 than expected.
Once I got to use the headphones, they connected very easily. Not W1 chip easy, but what do you expect. The bass is super low. In fact the sound through bluetooth was low. Not terrible. But not great. The comfort level for me was fantastic. I can wear them for a couple hours and they do not hurt me. But they hold in heat. Lol. But most over the ears do so that is not a complaint. My favorite part of these headphones, is easily the battery. I never have to charge these things. Its amazing. Sorry to jump back to sound but of you use the headphone jack included, these headphones are actually pretty amazing. For music and movies I prefer them. But for just a random video or youtube i dont mind bluetooth.
By the way in the dark, the blue light is very bright and can be very distracting. Overall i am satisfied with my customer service of the device, and for best buy thats huge for me to say. Cause i bought my wife a 6s from there and their phone people think they are thw greatest people alive when they are unknowledgeable because i had to tell them what gsm and cdma is and they argued with me for ten minutes.

Picked these up for my 15yr old son as a replacement for his broken Sol Republic V10 cans.Since I had purchased the GS replacement plan on the Sol Republic set, the exchange went smoothly. He picked out tbe Skullcandy BT cans and so far so good...he wears them everywhere. The only nitpick that either of us had was the weird and awkward placement of the charging port. You have to tilt the headphone speaker in order to get to the port. BTW, if you can swing it, do yourself a favor and buy the GS Replacement Plan on gear like this...especially if it's for a teenager or personal workouts. It's well worth the extra money. ..I have twins and it's already paid for itself.

I have owned these about 3 years. I use them every day. I use them to watch YouTube, listen to music, and movies. The sound is very well balanced. Most headphones lately love to promote Bass too much. I love all genres of music. I grew up in the 80s, I am a certified car audio installer. These sound really good. No tremendous volume, or bass here just balanced beautiful sound. No they're not Bose or Sennheiser but for $60 or less these are very reliable, musical, and great for watching movies or You Tube.

Just under $50. Easy to pair. Very long battery life and decent distance away from the Bluetooth receiver. Comfortable for extended periods of time. Easy to clean. Has a stereo cable to use if your battery dies! I shouldn't have listened to the $150 Sony Bluetooth headphones my brother had, otherwise I would have rated this 5 stars!

These were bought to put on my sons wheelchair, behind his headrest to act as low grade speakers for his iPad. These were perfect, very flexible, good sound, quick hookup to bluetooth. They were an answer to years of looking. I cannot even express how well they work for us. Thank you

I had heard that the SkullCandy Hesh 2 had much higher sound quality than my existing SkullCandy Crusher set [a pair of headphones geared towards car-audio bass quality, and not actual sound quality]. However, I absolutely could not bear the ill-fitting standard corded Hesh 2's, as the cushion is not soft, and is designed completely to house an ear within the cup, but my ears are far too big to even fold into the small inner cup of the headphones and if I use them as on-ear headphones my ears are crushed, so no matter what I do, I'm left with miserably sore ears. Around the end of 2014, I had heard of the new wireless Bluetooth model of the Hesh 2. Wireless alone had caught my interest, but the shape of the Hesh was just too poor of a fit on my ears. Though, once I found that the Hesh 2 Wireless featured the same luxurious soft padded cushioning as the Crusher, these became a must-buy for me.
Before getting into the headphones' actual performance, I must go over the their build and overall comfort. The Hesh 2 Wireless is designed with the same shape as the Hesh 2 [except for the attractively-flattened ends of the cans, the soft matte-all-over finish, and luxuriously-soft padding to differentiate from its corded iteration] so if you have tiny ears, this is just as SkullCandy advertises; an over-ear set, but in my case and for anybody else with dumbo ears, these are on-ear headphones. Don't even try to fit a large ear in those cups, it's just too uncomfortable and not worth the effort. Besides, the luxurious cushions on the Hesh 2 Wireless are so soft and comfortable that even if your ears are so big that the headphones must rest on your ears, they will not become uncomfortable even after extensive periods of listening.
The sound quality itself is superb, to say the least. These cans rock some kickin' 50mm sound drivers with intense bass and top-notch clarity for the price. The drivers being 50mm brings up an important note to most people: If you don't want others around you hearing sounds coming from your headphones, then that may become an issue with this set. The drivers are simply too large for even the set's thick durable housing to keep in, and sound is going to bleed outside of them at higher volumes. That being said, these things murder the bass-laden Crusher in the clarity department, and at $100, you'd be a fool not to opt for these instead of the $350 Beats Wireless unless you blindly worship a name, because these cans pump out the same quality.
The Bluetooth signal is average, but that isn't a bad thing. While wired headphones have cords between 4 and 8 feet, Bluetooth technology graces supported headsets with a 30ft signal range, thus making a selling point out of any wireless headset. The quality of sound over Bluetooth is superb, and depending on the device [usually low-end laptop computers], the sound quality over Bluetooth is superior to the standard 3.5mm connection. This set has a very fair battery life, getting 15 hours when, get this, the headset is set to MAX volume, not some lower setting like other companies advertise for their products. So if your most comfortable listening level is at around 50% or 75%, expect battery life nearing or exceeding 20 hours of use per charge.
Just as with all other wireless headphones, even if you drain your battery, but happen to have the included audio cord handy, you can continue to use the Hesh 2 as a wired headset.
Charging is perhaps the most negative point of these headphones, as while charging is very quick and only takes an hour and a half to get 10 hours of play, and 3 hours to get a full 15+ hours, the task of plugging the charger is very counter-intuitive for the sake of keeping the port safe from dust and whatever else is in the air. You actually have to tilt the left speaker as far inward as you can, and keep it there until you plug the microUSB charger into the top of the speaker. Having it at the bottom would have put the port more at risk, but would have made it as easy to charge the device as all the other Bluetooth headsets.
I would not recommend paring this with multiple devices, as the 'switch devices' feature does not work as well on these headphones as it does on SkullCandy's portable Bluetooth speakers. This headset is best when only paired with one device you know you'll be using it with most, and using it as a wired headset with any/all other devices.
Overall, I highly recommend this set to anybody looking for a wireless headset that performs above and beyond not only wireless headphones in the $100 price range, but headphones in the $100 price range in general. The sound quality can't be beat by anything else in its class unless you start treading into 'audiophile' territory, and the battery life, I feel, is well worth the less-than-ideal charging procedure.
P.S. - For any music addicts or geeks who choose to look like a tech enthusiast wherever they go, these babies look awesome around the neck, and having them on the neck while traveling is better than cramming them into a bag/backpack, as the simplicity of slipping them on and pressing a button for use can make them a permanent accessory to any music fan's outfit. The style of these headphones is icing on the cake.

recently i bought Hesh2 wireless on 25th Nov, I listed for two days but voice clarity is not good, i felt my skullcandy uproar was better in voice clarity. i liked Over-ear but planning to return due to poor quality in hearing voice while talking and music.
Looks good and has wire to connect if blue tooth doesnot work.
I am planning to return this item and trying to get similar item or refund if they cant.
I recommend to check voice clarity, if it is good then can buy it

Better than wireless beats by dre and Bose

I went to best buy ready to drop$300 on either the beats by dre or the Bose wireless headphones. best buy has them all set up to demo which is great! It's the same music so it's an easy comparison.. beats by dre didn't have the sound I expected for $300.. the bass was a little clearer but other than that vocals were muted... the Bose sound dampening was amazing! I literally couldn't hear the outside world with nothing playing. But the sound again wasn't what I expected for 300. I even went down to the 250 bose which seemed very cheaply made and don't really say on or cover the ear. After browsing every other wireless model and not liking any I was on my way out of the store when I saw a skull candy set with a built in subwoofer. I stopped to try it out but wasnt impressed with the bass only in one ear (maybe it was broken) but while standing there I saw they had a wireless set that covered the ear.. had good sound dampening but not as good as bose but about the same as beats. The sound was good. Base was decent vocals were crisp. I didn't need it loud to hear the song well. Also came with a cable to make t
it wired if I wanted and the design is nice. All flat black even the skull candy on the top of the band is all black so I'm not a walking advertisement like beats and Sony. I was very surprised and for $99 you can't go wrong. I have a cheaper creative pair which was 40 I wish I would have found these skull candy ones sooner!
I also use them with my home surround sound usually watching movies or playing games after the kids went to sleep meant low volume and trouble hearing things. Not anymore! Pairs easy with all my devices from android to tablets and ipads.
They are a little bigger than I was hoping to get but the extra padding actually makes them more comfortable to wear.
I use these at work and at the gym. No problem with slipping or falling even when running.. only issue is when doing things like burpees They begin to slide and need adjusting.
