This headset really does perform like, and could rival some of the high priced headsets out there. The sound is incredible, no matter the volume. It really does produce audio you can feel. It's funny because the audio doesn't seem to be coming from a speaker right next to my ear, there is more depth in the audio, as if I was actually in a room with a nice home theater system. The sound is very spacious, and even though these are not advertised for Dolby Atmos sound, or THX, the sound direction is very impressive. I listened to a few test videos for Atmos and THX, and was very surprised to hear how well these handled the audio direction and surrounding sounds.
The headphones, when placed over the ears properly really do cut out a lot of the outside noises, although not completely, unless you have the volume too high, then you won't be able to hear anyone trying to talk to you.The volume has a pretty good range, I usually keep mine at 50% or less, anything over 50% starts to hurt my ears.I did turn the volume up to 100%, with them hanging around my neck, and the audio was still pretty clear.A few of my friends that can listen to loud music without issue, tried them on, and verified that even at 100% the audio is still clear and undistorted. While they were wearing them at 100% volume, I could hear the sound coming from the headset 5 feet away. The bass is good, with just the right amount of thump to feel and hear the impact of the music. There really isn't a Skullcandy app for this headset, but you can use any music app, or equalizer with these to adjust the levels to your liking. I kept everything at the default settings while testing these, to see how they were first.
You can access your digital assistant by pressing the power button twic. I have a Galaxy note 20, so after activating the assistant (depending on your phone, and what assistants you have installed) it will ask you what assistant you want for it's default.I had Bixby, Google, and Alexa to choose from. After that point, it works just as quick and easy as any other means of activating your digital assistant, with all the same features.
The buttons have a nice layout, and the symbols are raised so that you can actually FEEL which button you are looking for. The power button is the most pronounced with the largest bump, making it the easiest to find. I hate having to remove a headset, to actually look at the buttons to figure out where the volume or anything is.
Even though the FAQs page on this headset says they are not compatible with the PS4 or Xbox One, you can use them with any game system through the 3.5mm headset jack. All you need to do is to plug in the included audio cable to your controller and the headset. I can confirm this works on both systems. I did not try to sync it with the Switch, but the FAQs says it works with the Nintendo Switch. So, technically these should work with any compatible bluetooth device, and any device that accepts a 3.5mm headset jack.
Just as a side note, because there is no mfr app for this headset, currently the only way to check the battery level is through your device's main settings. If you navigate to the bluetooth settings, and find the Hesh Evo headset, the battery level is displayed next to the device's name. The battery life is pretty impressive, I have been using these for a couple days now, and have not even gotten down to 50%yet. It's also a relief to know that when the battery does die, it will only take 10minutes of charge time, to carry me another 3 hours. To fully charge the headset it typically takes 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The included "tile" feature is a pretty nice touch, for people who constantly misplace things. All you have to do is download the tile app, and register the device on your account. At this point, you can use your phone to find your headset. The app sends a signal to your headset, making it produce a loud high pitched sound helping you find it. Now, keep in mind this will only work if your phone is within Bluetooth range (about 30ft), and there is still some battery life left in the headset. The tile, and headset work off the same battery, so if you are missing your headset, don't wait to find it later, otherwise you might have waited too long, and the app will not be of any help. So you might be wondering if the tile app can help you locate a device you could have left somewhere else. The answer is yes, and no. One cool thing about tile, is that if there is still battery life in your device, it's last known location will be recorded in its location history. If that is not enough, other tile app users may be able to help. The tile app itself can log any tile's location within range, anonymously. Say, you left your backpack on the bus, under your seat. You exit the bus and go on your way,your backpack stays on the bus and makes it to the bus garage without anyone finding it. You check your location history to find it, and it says by the coffee shop, where you got off the bus at. But it's not there. Later, as one of the bus drivers passes the bus with your headset, and happens to have the tile app on his phone, it location gets logged anonymously, and sent to your account. So when you check the location history, you are able to see the address of the bus garage. You show up and get your backpack and headset.So, yes, it can help you, provided the right circumstances are in place. You can also subscribe to premium features which will alert you, if you go too far from your device.
Overall the sound and features from this headset are top notch. The 40mm drivers provide exceptional sound quality. The ear cuffs are soft and comfortable, and even add some noise cancelling properties to block out annoyances while listening to your music or movies. The battery life is awesome with 36 hours of continuous use. You can connect it to anything bluetooth compatible or that has a 3.5mm audio jack. It's lightweight and very compact, especially with the fact that it folds up onto itself. Comes with tile built in, for easy device location. Sounds great on phone calls, audio going both ways is very clear and loud. Plus it even comes with a 2 year limited warranty.

Bought in Nov 2024 for the gym. Worked great. Haven’t been to the gym since Dec 2024 due to a car accident. I’ve placed these back on the charger for 48+ hours and they will not turn on. Poor quality.
