I have a lot of headphones! You name a type of headphone and I'm sure I have one in that category. Over the ear, on ear, Bluetooth, wired, wireless, noise cancelling, etc...I have a real addiction to headphones. With that said, I have a lot of comparisons to bring to the table when reviewing headphones like the Skullcandy Hesh Evo here. Since there are a lot of features to take a look at, I'm going to break this review down into categories.
Appearance:
I received the Skullcandy Hesh Evo’s in their True Black color which I really enjoy. The ear cups are mostly matte black, as is the headband, with a few areas of glossy black finish. They look good, but aren’t flashy and don’t stand out like other headphones in this price range.
Build Quality:
These are very light, but upon use and further inspection I found that they were built pretty solidly. The metal reinforced headband is nice, as I have seen quite a few manufacturers go with all plastic headbands that just don’t last very long. The ear cup material itself seems a little stiff at first, but once it warms up it tends to soften a bit. Overall the build quality is very decent for such a light pair of over the ear headphones.
Comfort:
This is one of the most important items with headphones and these do pretty decently in the comfort area. I have a giant head (size 8 in fitted hats) and these fit me at the very largest setting, but they do fit comfortably at that setting. The ear cup padding is a little stiff at first, but tends to break in over time. Skullcandy could have definitely put a bit more padding on the top of the headband where it rests against your head, but overall these were pretty comfortable after a few hours of continuous use.
Sound:
These headphones come with 40mm drivers and you can most definitely tell as the sound that these emit is fantastic, even above what these are normally priced. The sound tends to lean towards a slight emphasis on bass, but not to an extent that it ruins the experience for users wanting a more natural sound. Highs, mids and lows come in crisp and clear, even at higher volumes. My playlist mashup of guitar heavy rock, screaming vocals, classical and hip hop all shined when played through these. I have no complaints about the sound quality here.
While the headphones themselves do not have any active noise cancellation, these do isolate sound and minimize sound bleed very well. Using them in an office setting should be absolutely fine and they should muffle just about most conversations and sounds at a medium volume level. I was not able to be distracted by my coworkers even when listening to an audiobook with these. Sound isolation is very good.
Connectivity/Ease of Use:
I paired these with my iPhone and had no issues doing so, pairing was fast and easy. Range was very good. I mean, these actually stayed connected at a further distance than my normal headphones I use at work that cost about double what these do. Sound quality via Bluetooth was fantastic as well. The headphones are also capable of being connected via a 3.5mm audio cable in case you run out of juice or prefer a cabled experience.
There are only a few buttons on the headset itself and they are easy to feel free and operate without having to look for them. Power, volume up/down and track skip are all there at your fingertips. I had no issues with these buttons and enjoyed how simple the configuration was. They fold flat as well and can be laid flat down on your neck when you're not actively listening to them, this is a nice feature!
The unique feature of these headphones is that they come built in with Tile, which lets you download an app on your phone to track your headphones. I did test this and it worked well, with the Tile application on my phone being able to tell me almost exactly where my headphones are. I can see this being useful for people that maybe travel a lot or tend to be space cadets with their gear. I don’t think I’ll be using this functionality a lot personally since I find it difficult to lose a pair of full sized headphones like this.
Overall Impressions:
Upon opening the box and feeling how light these headphones were I was definitely skeptical as to how they’d perform and feel when worn, but Skullcandy surprised me with it’s audio fidelity, decent comfort level and superb wireless connectivity. These headphones are a solid value at the price they retail for and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these to a friend.

Good value, great performer - Hesh Evo Wireless
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
With so many over-the-ear choices, why Hesh Evo? This wireless set, currently $100 at Best Buy pumps out clean, clear, pure sound through comfortable earcups, effectively blocking muting outside sounds. Add 36-hour battery life, rapid charging (3 hours in only 10 minutes) and the ability to take phone calls and it is easy to see why I like and recommend these cans. And there is more!
**WHAT’S IN THE BOX**
· Hesh Evo Wireless Headphones
· USB-C charging cable
· Direct connection “Aux” cable
· Travel bag
· Instructions and Warranty
**FEATURES & BENEFITS**
· Comfortable fitting earcups for all-day wear
· Outside noise isolation from excellence in earcup design
· Headphones stay in place, not too heavy
· Pure, sweet sound tailorable to user preference through connected device sound settings; more or less bass, acoustic, music genres, etc.
· Bluetooth or wired connection to devices
· Conduct phone calls with built-in forward-facing microphone in bottom of R earcup
· Bluetooth connection to one device at a time
· Built-in TILE to locate your misplaced Hesh Evo (requires TILE app download and setup)
**SETUP**
Typical of similar devices, press the ON button for three seconds, pairing mode is automatic (and available at any time with a press of the Pairing button), pair with your device. Now, play, enjoy, repeat. Install the mobile device TILE app, follow prompts in TILE to connect Hesh Evo. Recharging is accomplished with the provided USB-C to USB-A cable. Direct connect to devices with the provided double-ended 3.5 mm cable. Will not charge while in use. Rapid charge provides three hours of use with a 10-minute charge.
**PUT TO THE TEST**
From music to podcasts, use is effortless. Selecting the desired sound profile is also easy within settings on a connected mobile device or computer. The Skullcandy app is not currently compatible with this model, but I do no find it to be necessary.
Making voice calls is not its strong suit, as call quality is only just adequate. In my tests, others commented that the call quality is not as clear as with other headsets and words in the beginning of a string are sometimes clipped. In fairness, however, this capability is a built-in feature of Bluetooth technology, added at little cost, yet still available. With but a single microphone located far from the mouth in the surrounding plastic base of the right earcup, the science is not friendly towards excellence in this area.
Where Hesh Evo shines is incoming sound from connected devices. Here, its $100 cost seems a relative bargain for the quality received, reminiscent of headsets easily twice the cost. I have worn them an entire day while at my computer and then later on relaxing with the Music app on my iPhone. Absolutely, positively excellent sound quality, sure to please the most discerning listener attracted to its price point versus competitors at twice the price.
As for the addition of TILE to the mix, I am still pondering the benefit. It is not easy to misplace a set of headphones, so why TILE? Why not, I guess. For the record, yes, it works as does any TILE. The app finds it, pinging its location and causing the headphones (when powered on) to emit a distinct, though not very loud tone, to invite being found.
**CONCLUSIONS**
Nice, very nice. No complaints at its price and list of abilities. Of the two others in my home orbit that I fit with these headphones for their opinions, all gave enthusiastic THUMBS UP! Now, add mine.
**WARRANTY**
Skullcandy Hesh Evo Over-the-Ear Headphones come with the manufacturer’s 2-year warranty.

Excellent Budget Headsets

These Skullcandy budget headsets are actually pretty good for the price. The build quality is good and they feel comfortable. They are made out of plastic with some glossy black sections giving this piano gloss look. The ear foam pads don't seem to be leather but they feel soft and make this nice seal to maskout the outside noise. When you put them on it actually feels like they have some type of noise canceling but it is just noise isolation, it does it very well.
When it comes to sound they may not be on par with some of the more expensive headsets but they sound very good. The music sounds very well balanced and it has a good solid base for my taste. I found the music to sound much better at mid level than higher volume. Paring them with my phone was very simple. On the right side ear cuff has 4 rubber buttons volume up or down, power and the pairing button and the charging indicator light. The headphones can be charged using the included USBC cable but you will need a power brick.
This Evo headsets also comes with Tile built, which it was easy to set up. I’ll see this kind of useful but when you try to locate them the high pitch sound coming from the headset may not be heard by some people specially if they are covered up. One thing I really like is that I am using the headphones as my daily driver for gaming. It works perfectly with the Xbox and the best part you don’t need to power them on, just connect it using the included headphone cable to the Xbox controller and that's it. As for the battery life it’s been about a week and I have not charged them yet since the first day I got them I used them 3-4hrs daily.
Overall, for my opinion is a very good headset for the price and they sound verywell. In the box you’ll get the heasest, charging USBC cable, 3.5mm headphone cables, carrying bag, and manuals.

Blue tooth works poorly depending on position of head which is disappointing. Sound quality is good. Buttons are small for my big hands which is more of a problem for my hands with many devices.

Great Price For the Quality You Get

Features:
These headphones come with a travel bag so you can carry them easily when taking them from place-to-place.
These also come with an auxiliary cable so you can use them as either wireless or wired for you phone, Roku remote, MP3 player, etc.
Outstanding Feature:
You can easily find these headphones around your home with the Tile finding technology that is built right in. You need to download the Tile app, pair the headphones and follow directions. Now you can easily find those missing headphones that you either misplaced or your sneaky sister decided to borrow them. Follow the beeping sound and you will locate exactly where they are in your house. Your sister will think twice next time because she now knows that she will be caught. I absolutely LOVE this feature.
Battery Life:
These will last up to 36 hours with a full charge. They have a rapid charge which will give you 3 hours of play time with just a 10 minute charge.
Controls: The buttons for the controls are on the right ear cup. These 4 buttons control an array of functions, such as On/Off, volume up/down, track forward/back, play/pause, answer/end call and activate assistant. The headphones adjust to custom fit your head and the cushions on the ear pieces make for a very comfortable fit. There is a built in microphone for your calls.
About:
These are not noise cancelling but they do cut down the outside noise enough so you aren’t distracted. You can still hear people talking, but you may need to take them off or turn down the volume to hear exactly what they are saying depending on how loud you have the volume. The sound is excellent considering they don’t have an app to adjust the treble, bass, etc. I could hear clearly when making calls and the person on the other end could hear me clearly also.
Experience:
I paired these to the TV in my bedroom and the sound was absolutely excellent. They blocked out sound to the other rooms so that I wouldn’t disturb anyone. The sound made me feel like I was right in the movie. It was amazing. They actually sounded better to me than the more expensive headphones I have had. I highly recommend these. Try them and I think you will like them. I LOVE them.

I love these headphones. Lighter than others I’ve worn. Very comfortable on my ears, even after wearing them for a long period of time. Great sound - clean, clear & crisp. Good bass. Yes there is better sounding but not at this price. I am very please to find this quality at this price point. Connects easily, & has great battery life. Excellent choice for great sound, comfortability & price.

Another Solid Skullcandy Set

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have a pair of Skullcandy Venue's that I absolutely love. Before COVID when I was traveling for work, they were my go-to pair of headphones. Now, with the kids doing school at home and me not on the road, I needed to get some good headphones for my kids because they have their computers in the same room. So I picked up a pair of Skullcandy EVO Hesh's for my youngest because I'd already gotten her sister a pair of Skullcandy Hesh 3's.
In terms of build, the EVO Hesh is nearly identical to the Hesh 3 and my Venue's. The weight of the product is hefty without being overly heavy. One of the complaints my daughter had with her older, on-ear set of headphones she had was that they hurt there ears and head if she wore them for long periods of time. With school being remote, this was becoming a daily occurrence. Now that she's using the EVO's, I don't hear a peep about her ears or head hurting.
The EVOs have the same kind of foam padding around the ears as the Hesh and Venue's - so I know they're comfortable and my daughter agrees.
There are some features missing in the EVO compared to the Venue, which I expected. For one, the EVO's don't have Active Noise Cancelling, but that's not really an issue because the cups fit nicely over my daughter's ears and she wouldn't be able to hear me yelling at her... so win-win. Another feature that the EVO doesn't have compared to the Venue is the Tile integration. But again, these headphones aren't leaving the house and don't leave her desk, so not really an issue. These aren't even negatives - just comparing the features of the EVO against my Venue's.
The EVO's fold up nicely for traveling, if you're still able to do that sort of thing in this COVID-19 world. They come with a soft carrying case as well as USB-C cable for charging and an aux cable to use in place of battery / bluetooth. My daughter has these plugged into her computer, so I can't really speak to the battery life on bluetooth - but she says she can hear fine and the microphone does a good enough job because the teachers don't have a problem hearing her.
I've tried them on as well - they certainly feel lighter than my Venue's but they still have that same Skullcandy feel to them - which is to say they're comfortable and sound great.

Great headphones for 10yr old

These have been the absolute best headphones for my 10year old. These were a replacement for his last pair that he has had for the past three years. They have survived countless drops to the hardwood floor and still worked flawlessly. These fit the best for his small ears/head but will also fit an adults head as well. He wears them hours each day without discomfort. The battery life is amazing as well. They last him days without having to charge them. These are not feature rich like the more expensive pairs, but the sound is adequate for the average user.

These headphoned are some of the best I have been using for half a year now and still find them some of the best earphones to date.
-They're very affordable for their quality being around 100 or so bucks.
-Very durable and tough, I have dropped them by accident a few times and they have never broken or reduced in quality.
-Comfortable fit that can easily be adjusted to accomodate any head along with comfortable earpads that make you forget that you even have them on.
-Great sound quality that allows me to get lost in music nearly instantly.
-Long battery life that can easily last long trips or flights.
Overall great headphoned and will be getting more products by this company!

Great Sound at a Great Value

These are some quality over the ear headphones. They are not the best sounding or have the best build quality, but they offer a great experience at their price point. You get 90% of what some other mid to higher tier headphones offer, but at a much greater value.
Build Quality – The headphones are mostly plastic, silicon, and aluminum. They feel super light, and can almost feel like you aren’t wearing them after a while. The only downside is that they don’t feel as substantial as some other higher end headphones. I did like the more tactile feel around the outside of each cup. The padding around the cup and on the headband are nice, but again, not the most luxurious experience out there.
Sound – The sound out of these cans is good. Good highs, and decent lows. The mids seem to be kind of lost in there, but not bad. Soundstage isn’t as wide as some higher end headphones, but again really great for the price point. I listened to Country, R&B, Hip-Hop, EDM, and old school Rock. All those genres sounded great with these headphones. Even some jazz songs I tried out, sounded great.
Features – The main extra feature here is the Tile integration. Setup is relatively simple; you download the app, connect to the headphones and you are good to go. In theory, if you lose your headphones, then the app should help you locate them. Battery life is also good, and I love how it tells you your battery level when you power them on. On that note, I really like the AI voice that is used with these headphones. It kind of reminds me of Marvin the android from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The voice has this subtle bored/relaxed tone to it that I found funny and unique.
Overall – These are really good headphones and are easy to recommend for someone looking for great value headphones. Again, sound isn’t stellar, but you are getting most of the soundstage and sound quality that you would from some high-end headphones for a fraction of the cost. The battery life, ease to pair, and Tile integration, just sweeten the deal.

Almost the perfect headphones

I've had these for almost two years now and they are the MOST comfortable headphones I've ever worn. The audio is great, the noise canceling is great, I could wear them for hours on end without hurting my head or ears.
Recently, I've noticed that the audio stops randomly when I'm using them. I'm able to turn them off and turn back on to restore the audio. It's not disconnecting from computer, just the audio cuts out. Not sure if it's my computer or the headphones. A little frustrating but these headphones are still worth the price.
I've used beats over ear, samsung in the ear, skullcandy in the ear...these are just very superior. Although, I wouldn't use these for working out.

The sound quality is a amazing and clear, the headphones fit perfectly over my ear, they stay put once you put them on, be careful turning them up all the way cause they sound like speakers at max volume, but that’s the best part about them, also they great for the gym, and the battery life is the best feature about these headphones 36 hours of battery life it’s like these were made to perfection

Love them. I worth the money since you dont need to spend another 30 on the noise canceling feature. Plus you get way longer battery life with the same great audio quality.
