Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not good quality battery running so fast I have to charge

The retail price puts these kind of in the middle of the price range for average customers. Not really expensive, but also not cheap. Overall, not a bad set of headphones, but there are a few issue that keep them from a definite recommendation. First off, these are kind of cheaply made and cheap looking. The matte black on the earcups and most of the headband I like, but I don't like the gloss black yoke and the inlay of gloss black on the top of the headband. Not sure what Skullcandy was thinking, but a matte black for everything would have been MUCH better and make the headphones look less cheapy. The headphones run small, so if you have a large head you will have to extend out the headband to max and that may still be snug. Even worse, when you extend out the headband they make these more round looking on your head and stick out more on the sides. I have a slightly larger than average head and I have to extend these out to a few clicks from fully extended. The earcups are also on the small size, so if you have larger than average ears they may not completely fit inside the opening. Overall, just making these a little larger in these areas would have been a plus. Sound quality is pretty decent with ANC off. The ANC itself works pretty well, but you won't confuse the ANC with higher end headphones. One negative of the ANC is that the sound signature does change and not for the good, IMO. With ANC on you lose some of the detail in the sound and a noticeable amount of bass reduction. In ambient mode they sound pretty good and I like that they included this mode. In any mode these don't have the best high end treble quality. The sound output on these is pretty low. I would say listening to these at 80% volume is similar to most other headphones at 60%. So if you like to really blast your headphones, the lack of volume on these could be an issue. In wired mode these sound very dull and downright lousy. Controls are a bit awkward to get used to. All buttons are on one long rubber piece and all raise dbuttons are very close together. You end up trying to feel for what button you need. You do get voice prompts for settings, power on/off and Bluetooth. Catch these on sale and I would say they are a good option. Just make sure to try them on at the store to make sure they fit if you have a large head.

Didn’t hold a good charge at all died after 2 hrs.

Not very good. My son says they barely work. Low quality sound for the cost of the item.

The ear phones keep connecting and disconnecting. I already go contacted Skull Beats and they have not replied.

The Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones are a great offering for this price-point. Easy to pair and control. Very comfortable. And the carrying pouch with pockets is a nice addition. The 3 listening modes work geat: Noise Canceling | Regular (Noise Cancelling off) | Ambient Sound. I do wish the volume was stronger. Full volume is usually way too high for me on most headphones. These were only slightly over-loud with the volume maxed out. Overall, the Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones offer great sound and full features for a very attractive price.

It did not last at all, became staticly and unreliable

I originally just wanted to test these out and see if they had any heat. They do! Out of the box they come in a cool travel bag that is surprisingly well made. Normally the carrying sac is eye pleasing but not much more than that. This one is triple thick with a soft fleece inner and a thick woven nylon outer. The headset is on the smaller side so a person with a larger head may not vibe on them as hard as I have. The build of the headset is well made with a light but durable feel. The ear pads feel like real leather and are super comfortable to rock for hours at a time. The connection is easy and does not require you download Skullcandy’s special app like so many other products do. Just turn it on and it speaks that it is ready to pair. I was able to pair easily with Apple, Android, and Windows products with zero issues each time. The quick charge feature is a plus if you forget to charge them or have not fully charged them. It claims a ten-minute charge will last three hours (I did not clock it but yea that is about right). The headset even comes with Tile built in (NFC) to make locating your headset quick and simple. The best part though of course is the clarity of the sound. The highs are crisp, and lows can rattle bone (if that is your thing). I was listening to DJs on a live stream and with the noise cancelling feature on I almost felt like I was actually at the club. When that beat dropssssss, straight feeling it. I cannot say enough good good about these, Top marks to Skullcandy, beautifully designed and superiorly well made. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a headphone that is true to its word on noise canceling, these are incredible. This product includes the headphones, carrying bag, a USB-C charging cord, and an AUX cord. The headphones are adjustable on top so they're great for all head sizes. I have a fairly small head and they are a perfect fit on the smallest/original sizing. These also easily fold up to make them easily fit in the carrying bag and easy to take on the go. Once charged, simply press the power button. The headphones will then begin trying to pair with a bluetooth source automatically. Simply select your headphones from your device. They are labeled "Hesh ANC". The sound quality of these is incredible. They also cancel nearly all surrounding noise even if you have no music/sound playing through them. These have been very useful for me to use while working when I have my four year old because I can still focus on what I'm working on without any outside noise. On a full charge they offer almost a full days worth of battery life. However, they also offer a rapid charge that gives you three hours of battery life after just ten minutes of charging. Perfect for a quick charge in the airport before your flight. Another incredible feature is that they have tracking from the Tile app! I tend to lose things in my apartment often so this is a great feature if I'm unsure where I've left them. These are a great set of high quality over the ear headphones.

These headphones fit over the ear very well , the noise canceling is great . The ambient mode is awesome for when you need to keep an ear out. Volume is plenty , they are light in weight for such quality , i could wear these for extended periods without complaint . Charge quickly and connects to all my devices well . Very happy with this purchase.

This set of headphones satisfies just about all my check boxes and it might for you too. At this price point, the HESH-ANC delivers great base heavy sound with very effective noise cancellation. I was delighted to find USB C charging which I really like as it doesn't require me (android user) to have multiple cable types in my bag when I travel. One negative is this is not compatible with the Skull Candy App, this isn't a deal breaker but the App is so helpful to make adjustments for finer personalization. The only other negative is that the buttons are a little hard for me to distinguish by feel (perhaps because I am old LOL) but after a couple uses I managed to figure out where each function lives. I have a broad range of music I enjoy and regardless of the genre, the sound was very pleasant even impressive. After listening for a while the light weight and overall comfort makes me forget I have them on. In fact in terms of comfort the ear pads, and the cushion at the top of the band are made from a material that does not have the typical "plastic" feel ,making them very comfortable. First out of the box the head band is a little tight so remember to expand it appropriately to your head and you will be fine. I am loving these and although I don't need the noise canceling feature at home, when I travel again they will be right in my carryon.

The Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones are my first pair of headphones with active noise canceling but I can’t imagine any other headphones are nearly as amazing as these. After quickly and easily connecting the headphones to my phone via Bluetooth and testing out the noise canceling function, I was genuinely surprised by just how much outside sound is filtered out. Even better, I was surprised to find these headphones come with an ambient noise feature which is basically the opposite of noise canceling. When enabled, it amplifies surrounding sounds which is helpful in my situation since I have children and it is important to be able to hear what is going on even when I am working and listening to music. The headphones are rechargeable and come with a USB-C charging cable as well as a 3.5mm audio cable since they can be wired to devices in addition to their Bluetooth functionality. All of this functionality in combination with the folding design makes the Skullcandy - Hesh ANC - Over the Ear - Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones one of the best pairs of headphones I have ever owned and I highly recommend them!

My experience with Skullcandy has been cheap earbuds. These OTE headphones were a VERY nice surprise. Long battery life. I used them for about 15 hours total over a couple of days before recharging. Noise cancelling works extremely well. Comparable to much more expensive headphones. Bluetooth pairing to pphone/tablet is simple, quick and easy. I did struggle with connecting to my laptop bluetooth, but eventually got it. Have not tried with a gaming system yet. Good sound quality, but not for extreme audiophiles. Could use more bass. Some of the highs were crackling as well. In a blind test, I think the only thing that a competitor like beats would have is more and better defined bass. For listening to audio books, Pandora, or watching movies on a tablet, the Skullcandy's are definitely worth it. And did I mention noise cancelling? These do an amazing job of filtering out external noises. Definitely recommend!

Works great got for my husband as a gift he uses them to work out. Fits great sounds awesome charges long

I've had these for about 7 months, haven't had any issues with them. the sound is great even at loud volumes, noise cancellation works, good bass, would recommend, pretty good battery life

Opening the package and using these headphones took about 3 minutes. It was very simple to link them with Bluetooth. The instructions on the button functions are well laid out in the little booklet and although I hit a button wrong a few times, it's because I didn't pay attention as well as I should have when I was reading through them. I wore them for the first time for around 3 hours with no discomfort. I played around with the noise-canceling function and it works well. The battery seems to last for quite a while, and I haven't had to charge it yet. It says it is around 70% on my phone. I was a little surprised at how small these looked when I pulled them out of the package, but they fit over my ears well and do not lack in sound quality. I'm very happy with these headphones.

Definitely would recommend!! I got them for my boyfriend for Christmas and they lasted us quite literally 3 years, I’d say go get them because they’re very nice and they sound amazing as well

I went out of my way to make sure to leave a review for the Hesh ANC headphones. I went to Best Buy and tried on a dozen pairs. A set of Sony's were clearly the best ones, but they were also $300+. I almost gave up, but saw the Skullcandy display. I would usually never even try their products, but my daughter wanted to try them. THank god for her! These are as comfortable as the Sony, and sound quality is nearly as good. The ANC does it's job. I would be hard-pressed to tell you why some other products are double the cost. Love these and highly reccomend.

Excellent Noise Cancellation. These headphones work very well. I live in a somewhat noisy neighborhood and wear these headphones when I am working from home. My neighbors set their car on fire and the fire trucks were outside my office window; I never heard the commotion. Plus they are comfortable.

Love the sound quality of them! Would definitely recommend
