    Great but not perfect. A tad flimsy.

    Great headphones. They sound great, but the noise-cancelling has a bit of background noise, but well worth it in a noisy environment. Kudos to Skull Candy in making a top-notch wireless headphone for chump-change compared to the other "hoity-toity" prestigious brands. Skull Candy kicks them to the curb in overall value. My main complaint is physical durability: I have had to break out the "KB Weld" epoxy to repair their flimsy attachments of the top-of-the-head padded cushions where the cushion started separating from the over-the-head bar (see photo). A little epoxy and they are fine. Their sound quality and ease of use makes me overlook that cheapness ding in their manufacture. Not a show-stopper, IMO. Very good headphones for the money otherwise. I can spare a little epoxy and some time to keep them going. I had to do even more major repair on a pair of MEE headphones I loved. Swivel mechanism on the earpieces broke. A little KB Weld epoxy and they were good as new.

    Great noise cancelling headphone. Easy to use and very comfortable. They are fairly lightweight and connect easily using Bluetooth or the included auxiliary cord. The audio sounds great and the microphone for talking is awesome.

    Great Noise Cancelling and Very Comfortable

    I'm extremely picky about headphones and these have met pretty much all of my requirements. I'll get the bad out of the way first - they do NOT work for exercising that well - might be my head size but they do slip off occasionally and are a bit clunky to wear while performing different exercises. But totally fine for walking! Now for the good. The quality of the sound is amazing! I'm always happy once they are on and the world around me just goes away. They are extremely comfortable and they hold a charge for so long! I'm happy they come with a nice case and cable to connect to other devices if Bluetooth isn't available. One huge bonus is that they are super clear for calls on both ends. They make a great purchase!

    External sound was muted as advertised. Music was slightly dull and Zoom speaker difficult to understand compared to using my JBL speaker, but that's probably more because I don't know how to work all of those cool sound options on my player and speaker was using a flip phone as their mic. The headphones are cushy and comfortable and make you feel like you're equipped to go into some type of battle with all that gear on your head. They charge quickly and have little indicator lights...very fancy. The packaging and headphone container is impressive. I want a human-sized zipper box like that one, formed to my body, to sleep in...kind of like have an adult blanket fort. Due to having the sensitive ears of a redhead, I'm one of those unfortunate people who couldn't handle the sound pressure on my ear drums of the noise cancelling feature, so I had to return them for a refund after attempting to wear them multiple times. That was especially disappointing because I bought them to drown out the excessive human noise in the house I live in due to hollow doors, open spaces, and the morning to night gossip phone train that is almost always running. Keep in mind that these work so well that they will block all noises; to include birds chirping, kids laughing, the wind blowing, a car driving up, a door opening, the floor creaking, a muffled scream, a revolver hammer clicking, heavy objects being dragged across the floor, and police sirens outside. Some people might like that feature, but I like to hear the world around me and know what's going on. You can't know when to run outside with your wiffleball set and bubbles if you can't hear the neighbors laughing and comparing engine revs.

    Had to jump in on the headphones for over $100 group eventually and after about a month of use am pleased with my purchase. I would never have spent money on headphones like they are now a days but I was sick of my music sounding flat. Ear buds are nice but had to do the over the ear route for a heavy in bass quality. Not to mention the ability to use a cord so I can lay back and listen to albums was a must. I love these for travelling as airplane noise at times makes it almost impossible to enjoy a movie or music. I purchased these for 150 and the battery life and feel are great as well.

    Decent noise cancelling functionality

    I think with these headphones, they, skullcandy, almost hit the mark on their attempt. I’d definitely say for the budget minded music listener, they’re a pretty good deal. They’re cozy enough to wear for a good while, and I’m not sure I’d wear them for the 25+ hour rating on the battery charge to test their comfort endurance. They are nice, a little clunky in build, but unless you like to throw your electronics around, id say these are a pretty durable set of headphones. Sometimes it’s a little hard to pinpoint how you want to hear your music based off of what the noise canceling does to the overall sound, but I’d say, if you’re using a smartphone with a home eq setting app, use it to your advantage, as some of the sound you’re wanting to hear is compromised in that. Otherwise, they’re a decent pair of headphones. Get the product protection plan if you’re clumsy like I am...as these seem a little chinsy on the build. Unless you don’t plan on being rough with them at all, get that that insurance for them. Skullcandy does project having an active lifestyle in pushing their product, so the insurance is a no brainer if you’re that “extreme lifestyle” person. I’d say wait til they’re on sale to get the most for your money, and Best Buy DOES like to put skullcandy on sale periodically. This is a pretty new model, but I’d say they’d make a pretty good gift for someone who wants a decent pair of noise canceling headphones.

    I wasn't sure about the price at first, but they've been well worth it so far! The headphones are comfortable for several hours of listening. My favorite part however is the noise-cancellation. I get overwhelmed by sound very easily, so having just the sound-cancellation active helps when I'm stressed, and if you play music on top of that, even people's voices are completely covered. I've fallen asleep a few times with these on, it's so peaceful.

    The sound produced by these headphones are top notch. There are two things about these headphones that I am dissatisfied with. The first thing is the leather cushion on the headband. I have had two sets of these and both had the leather come unglued. The second is the noise cancelling. It seems that every time i brush the headphones, it turns noise cancelling off. I would prefer a switch for the noise cancelling.

    This replaces a previous Skullcandy wireless headphone that broke at the "folding / collapse " point due to thin plastic hinge points on both sides. Both phone pieces broke within 2 days. The new headphones rotate and should last longer due to less stress on the hinge areas. Comfortable, light, good sound, common sense on / off and volume buttons. Main use is for TV viewing. Can't comment on sound quality for music listing at this time.

    the build quality is amazing, it won't break after normal wear like the cheaper models *aka the hex 3's* the sound quality if pristine and clear and it works for extreme bass, classical, rock, and it's overall just amazing. As someone who has gone through dozens of headphones sending them back if the sound quality was ever so slightly not perfect, I can say if you are on a budget, these are the ones you 100% need to get, if you are looking for anything better you are going to be paying a forward amount of $300-$450! You honestly get what you pay for, and if what you want is perfect sound quality and comfort, but are not willing to pay for high prices, this is the one you need to get, the $120 headphones and cheaper of any brand just simply are NOT going to cut it for you I promise!!!!! The honest problem with most people complaining about headphones is not that they CAN'T afford them, it's that they choose not to afford them, I have a part-time job and live alone dirt poor, these were the best investment I have ever made in my opinion! +rep!!

    These are very comfortable headphones, and that was my #1 priority next to sound quality. I am petite and apparently have a mutant-small head. Beats Studio phones are too big and very uncomfortable. The only headphones that have ever fit me well are my old wired Bose Soundtrue cans (which are now held together with replacement parts and duct tape). I have tried and returned cheaper ANC headphones from AMZ with great reviews because the headbands were too big, leading to cauliflower ear. THESE are awesome. They are snug in all the right ways and super comfy. They sound great, successfully cancel outside annoyances (not as well as the Beats, but they are so much more comfortable that I'm totally okay with that). Bluetooth connection is reliable and solid. Haven't had any issues connecting with my Android phone. Get these if other cans are too big and uncomfortable. Life's too short for bad headphones!

    I would have given them a 5 except, no matter what I try, there is a constant white noise that only goes away when the music is playing. What I am trying to say is, there is never no noise. Everything else is great. It holds a charge for a long time the aux cord works well the case is attractive and these are comfortable. I usually get headaches from headphones but these don't give me them.

    I haven't had owned a pair of Over ear Headphones for awhile now and was out of touch to what to buy. So I started researching by watching reviews on Youtube, and reading reviews on Best Buy and found this Pair was recommend as a great buy if you weren't willing to pay $300 for a premium set. I went to my nearest store and tried on this set as well as JBL Bt750, Sony mx1000, and the Pro beats. Those others had an excellent sound, but overall the white color set and the sound of the Skullcandy Crusher had me for the price had me hooked. The bass was to my liking as it was balanced along with the high and midtones of the music and made me remember how much I missed listening to music in solitude. When I got home and opened up the box and found that I had the option of being able to use the headphones via Bluetooth and by a 3.5 MM head jack. The sound quality of a Hardline or though Bluetooth is indistinguishable from each other ( at least to me) and so far had no issues with the Bluetooth connection. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend the pair if you are looking for premium sound without paying a premium price.

    Very pleased. Great sound, fits well, easy to pair, easy to turn on and off. Good battery life. External wire to re-charge is a mild inconvenience, but relatively trivial. NOT an expert, did not compare 20+ different models but for an “average” user, these were great. (Good price as well)

    The sound is wonderful! The battery last a very long time! They are quite comfortable. My only complaint is that the don’t fit me real snug so I bent over while I was painting and the headphones fell into the paint. I cleaned them up quickly and blew air into the charging port! They work fine!!!

    My needs: Noise -cancelling, lightweight, wireless and Assistant integration. In the list of noise cancelling headphones, these are second only the $349 Sony - WH-1000XM3 for filtering out background noise while providing excellent sound. The built-in voice assistant and dual pairing allows use of Alexa / Google Assistant / Cortana while simultaneously paired to my phone and my Desktop. Battery life is really nice. I have run into only one real issue: After using them for long periods of time, the bluetooth connection sometimes goes 'dark' where it seems to be connected but in some sort of sleep mode which cost this review 1 star. If you're a Skull Candy fan and just need serious noise and bass without the noise cancelling, then I would spend the extra for the Crusher 360 or save some dollars and go with the Hesh 3 if you don't need the noise cancelling.

    These are very comfortable and have a great battery life. I recently used these on a long plane trip and out was amazing how well it blocked engineer nose and how clear I could hear my show. I've also used these on the treadmill and love them. Very comfortable, they stay in place, and the sound is crystal clear.

    Love these headphones. I own these and beats and I prefer these. Good sound and excellent noise cancelling. Use them at the gym and they stay snug while running. My phone didn’t want to pair with them at first but once I figured it out it has worked great and connects automatically now. 5 stars.
