My made the purchase of the over-the-ears headset upon the advise from my daughter. I wanted to listen to my Sony TV X800e in the bedroom. Unfortunately the Sony TV won't pair with anything but Sony headphone with a transmitter, so I returned them and purchased the Skullcandy with the Mee audio transmitter. The transmitter is so easy to set up and connect with these headphones. I was amazed and so happy with the sounds I heard through this headset. I wasn't sure which Skullcandy headset I wanted but the Hesh 3 was on sale for $79.99 so I went with them. I listened to the TV for hours and they are so comfortable. The Sony headset was not as comfortable and too big for my head. The Skullcandy fit my head and are adjustable. I love this headset and will continue to use them until they wear out then I will buy another pair. You can't go wrong with the Skullcandy Hesh 3. Another good thing about them is they fold up for travel and they charge fast. The charge will last along time and you don't need to worry about them going dead while watching TV or listening to music. Some people complained about the bass sound but I did't have a issue with the bass sound.

FANTASTIC Headphones

These headphones are FANTASTIC!!!
Overview:
My husband has recently gotten into streaming and online gaming. I really like being supportive of his new hobby, but he sometimes he get really loud. That's when I decided I needed a better pair of headphones. Not only do these block out his gaming chat, they are comfortable as well. They connect with both my laptop and my phone without any trouble, and the headphones even come with an option to plug via a 3.5mm jack if bluetooth is not available. Battery life is wonderful as well.
Sound:
9/10 - These headphones block out casual conversations and deliver crisp audio. When my husband streams I rarely hear him (and he can get quite loud). The volume controls are nicely located as well.
Apperance:
7/10 - The headphones themselves are pretty bland. There are not a lot of markings and they are a solid color. They are by no means ugly, but they do not pop out in a crowd. However, if you know someone with a little creative flair you can attach your personality to them (like I did)!
Comfort/Design:
9/10 - These are over-the-ear headphones, meaning that they do not sit on my ears. This prevents my ears from getting hot, which allows me to wear the headphones for longer periods of time. The padding is properly placed as well to keep it from squeezing my head.
Battery Life:
10/10 - I charge these headphones once a week. 'Nuff said, right? I use them moderately (average 2 to 3 hours a day).
Worth/Quality:
10/10 - Considering the other headphone options out there, many of the features of these headphones rank up with higher priced brands. I would expect to pay AT LEAST twice the price for the same quality in other brands.
Overall:
9/10 - These are good headphones. They are well priced. They do the job! I would recommend trying them out in the store first, as I did, just to make sure that the style works for you. I tried on every pair in the store on the headphone aisle and was completely unsatisfied until I came across these off to the side in an obscure place. It was definitely a great find.

Amazing speakers. Still work great, 4 years after I purchased them. The noise cancelling is very effective and they are very comfortable. It can adjust to different head sizes. The ear piece is still in good shape despite them being used constantly for the last 4 years - no peeling or scraping. Great audio quality. Never received any complaints about the quality of my microphone, so I'm assuming that is good as well.
I'd just be a little careful with how you pack them if you're going to throw them inside a backpack or suitcase because the hanger where the headset folds can break.

So I have very small ears and I can’t use earbuds because they aren’t comfortable in my ears, so I went searching for over the ear headphones. The problem I used to find before these is they would slide off my ear and the sound quality would be piercing to my ears. These headphones eliminated all that. They are comfortable and the sound quality is amazing.

I purchased theses a few months ago, and initially I found the Hesh 3 Wireless to be a very good set of over-the-ear headphones. They felt comfortable, had a good range of sound and are wireless with Bluetooth, all positive in my book.
However, just yesterday as I went to put them on, the plastic by the ear cone snapped, broke clean away and left the ear piece just swinging there..
Now, I'm pretty gentle when it comes to my possessions, even more so when it comes to electronics. I keep my headphones safe, away from any source of danger that can do them harm, so I was quite shocked when these just simply cracked so easily.
In my experience, I've never had a set of headphones do that, especially ones that are relatively new. Im not going to say do or don't buy them, but I wouldn't recommend them to a friend, that's for sure. They are great when it comes to what they are supposed to do, but that plastic was so weak.
I'm dissapointed in these and myself for not buying the extra plan from Geek Squad. Now I'm out $100.. but at least I learned a few lessons.

These headphones communicate superbly with my windows 10 computer. The quality is great and the bass is beautiful. My only gripe is that the swiveling earmuffs, though seemingly cool at first, are a ticking clock until you accidently bump them or mistakenly swivel them in the wrong direction, which happened to me. The flimsy plastic holding the earmuffs snapped without me even realizing until I took them off. If the small slivers of plastic were made of tougher stuff, these would be great. Now I have duct tape holding them together, with an irritating piece of something rolling around inside the left side.

I purchased this headset because I am hard of hearing and this works perfectly for my business/personal phone calls. The sound is loud and clear and they charge up fast! I use this every day and after 6 months they still sound like new.

Sound quality was good, wireless worked fine, but a week after I bought them the plastic on one side started to crack, and a week or two later the other side broke as well, with pretty light use. I was able to hold it together with tape for about 4 months, but even then the ear cups were starting to slide off the headband while wearing them. I wouldn't recommend them without a protection plan just in case.

I have been wanting some Beats for awhile but can’t really afford them, I saw these on sale and were the last ones left so I tried the display ones and they sounded amazing, I take them to the gym, store, or anywhere I’ll be hanging around for a bit, quality is great for the price! Little flimsy so they can’t take too much of a beating but I haven’t broken mine yet

Got these in September and within 3 weeks, they were broken on the small piece of plastic that holds the ear pieces to the headset on the right side. Two weeks later, the other side in the exact same spot broke. Ok, it's just a thin piece of plastic and is a factory thing. I'm ok with that and glue can fix it. I went to put them on this morning and immediately beside the spot that was glued in the first place is now cracked and needing glue.
These are kept in a desk on top of a blanket in my office. There is no reason they should have broken this many times and to the point of needing glue to even keep the headphones together.
The quality of sound is great, which is why they are keeping one star and they are comfy because they don't hurt my ears during the constant use of the day.

The bass is amazing. It sounds much better than higher dollar amount headphones. My only problem with it is the build quality. Just extending the headphones is busting chunks of plastic off.

The sound was great. But they are cheaply made. I bought these this past October and yesterday one side completely broke off! Just taking them off!! Not even 9 months and this happened. And they aren't even used every day. Just light use. And I know how to use them properly. This was not user error. Really upset as up until this point, I thought they were great.

Great comfort and sound but cheaply made. Broke over and over as you can see from the picture. Kept breaking in different places. They were not harshly treated. As an engineer I kept fixing them with steel, tape, brackets, glue... On the plus side, they function well, when not broken.

Had for about 4 months always kept in original package unless using. And they broke while in the original box. Had in a backpack and took it out opened the box and they were broken at the right earphone. They sounded great but the build quality is poor.

These headphones sound great and work well, but the thing that holds the cup onto the headband is plastic and breaks over time. I had to replace the first pair via skullcandy warranty and now the replacement has broken as well. Bummer.

Cheap plastic attaches the headphones. Broke both plastic arms that hold the ear speaker in place. I ended up having to use tape to hold them together.
Great sound. terrible build quality.
