Title: IN-DEPTH REVIEW: Incredibly Reliable and Excellent Performance!
Review: I've owned a pair of the Hesh ANC headphones for 2 years now and I love them. I'm a high school student and I use these headphones literally everyday, I'm not joking when I say that. These headphones have seen everything from hot, dry climates in the desert, humid tropical climates, concert mosh pits, numerous drops and falls, and frequent water splashes and spills. I highly recommend these headphones if you're looking for something reliable, comfortable, and functional.Like everything, this pair has pros and cons. I will discuss pros and cons first, and important notes afterward. I highly recommend reading the important notes section of this review as some things I mention may effect your decision on purchasing this product.Pros: These headphones feature very comfortable memory foam ear-cushions that are water resistant and fairly wear resistant as they have never failed to maintain their shape even after heavy use. The noise cancelling is very impressive in these headphones. I have used these headphones in environments with yard work equipment whirring, loudspeakers playing music, and airshows with loud aircraft overhead, and the noise cancelling does an excellent job. Do keep in mind that noise cancelling technology has it's limitations. These limitations include the inability to completely block out all noise (not 100% deafening), the inability to successfully suppress infrequent environment noises like speech, quick noises like pops or doors closing, furniture moving, etc.. With these limitations in mind, the noise cancelling ability of these headphones is very impressive in my opinion, as it very effectively blocks out lasting tones such as the bass in (loud) music, vehicles, etc.. The swiveling sections of this device allow for a very compact form factor making stowage when packing very efficient and easy. Brands like Geekria provide excellent carrying and packing cases, I have one myself that I bring with me to my bag everyday to carry my headphones and charging equipment when necessary. The Hesh ANC user interface (button panel) may appear complicated at face value, however the many functions accessible via the UI is well worth the very present yet minor learning curve. These headphones have 3 "noise cancelling" modes. Mode 1: Noise cancelling off, standard listening mode (muffled outside environment due to your ears being covered). Mode 2: Noise cancelling on, your environment is muffled significantly. And Mode 3: Ambient Mode. The Ambient mode uses the microphones on the headphones used for noise cancelling to monitor the sounds in your environment, and play these detected sounds back to you through the speakers. In other words, your headphones magnifies your outside environment, which removes the muffling effect the headphones have when they are in standard listening mode. With ambient mode on, your music/audio plays at the same volume as the sounds around you are, respective to your volume preferences. This mode can be useful when talking or listening to others while still listening to your music/audio of choice.Cons: The stock cushions, though comfortable, did begin to fall apart after about a 1.5 years of use. However, the cushions are replaceable. I replaced my cushions with some made by WickedCushions, a company that makes headphone cushion replacements. I recommend keeping the stock cushions, and only replacing them if necessary.Important Notes: The power button (push and hold) takes 3 seconds to power on, and about 4-5 seconds to power off. Although this isn't long, it can be annoying at times since it isn't as quick as pushing a button once or flipping a switch. The noise cancelling mode, when on, produces a "pressurized" feeling to the user's ears. To those with sensory perception sensitivity, I would recommend keeping this in mind. Lastly, I've experienced a strange malfunction with these headphones only twice before. In these incidents, the headphones paused music, played a loud buzzing noise for about 10-20 seconds, and then power off. However, once powering them back on, everything is normal. I do not know if this was caused by low battery, or whether or not mine are perhaps slightly faulty, but I haven't experienced this frequently, as it's only happened twice in the 2 years of use.Despite the very few cons mentioned, I very highly recommend the Hesh ANC headphones. They have been incredibly reliable for the 2 years I've had them, and I have no intention in replacing them anytime soon.

Title: Great product!
Review: I recently purchased the Skullcandy Hesh ANC Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones in True Black, and I'm beyond satisfied with my choice. These headphones are a standout in the realm of audio gear, especially for their price point.One of the major highlights of these headphones is the active noise cancelling (ANC) feature. It works exceptionally well to drown out ambient noise, allowing for an immersive listening experience whether I'm at home, commuting, or in a busy café. This feature alone has significantly enhanced my daily routines, letting me enjoy my music without interruptions.The sound quality is impressive, delivering crisp, clear highs and deep, punchy bass. Whether I'm listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls, the audio clarity is consistently excellent. Speaking of calls, the built-in microphone provides clear audio, making it perfect for both taking phone calls and video conferencing.Battery life is another strong point. The headphones offer up to 22 hours of battery life on a single charge with ANC on, which is more than sufficient for several days of heavy use. Plus, they charge relatively quickly, minimizing downtime.The comfort level of the Skullcandy Hesh ANC headphones is also noteworthy. They feature plush ear cushions that are soft and do not exert unnecessary pressure, making them comfortable for long listening sessions. The adjustable headband ensures a good fit for any head size.Additionally, the Bluetooth connectivity is reliable and quick to pair with both iPhone and Android devices, making the setup process seamless and hassle-free. The inclusion of physical buttons for control is a thoughtful touch, allowing for easy adjustments without needing to pull out your phone.Overall, the Skullcandy Hesh ANC Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones are a fantastic value for anyone looking for quality sound, effective noise cancellation, and comfortable design at a reasonable price. They are definitely a wise choice for anyone in the market for robust and reliable headphones.

Title: Clicking noise on occasion
Review: They are very effective at noise Cancelling as well as comfortable. My only concern is that I hear a consistent click noise from them if I don't have music playing. I notice it during podcasts as well. Bluetooth was easy to setup, battery life is good (I had them on for a total of 18 hours or so a week apart). They are easily comfortably worn for 8 hours plus.

Review: The product quality itâs good and the functionality as well but what really disappoint us was the fact that the white headphones got stained all over the edges by their own black bag that we got with the headphones in just one week!!! Itâs really stupid that the very own bag that skullcandy send for them stain them completely. We already try to clean them with alcohol and other stuffs and still unable to get rid of the stainsâ¦

Review: I love skullcandy and these do not disappoint. The noise cancelling option is a great feature to be able to turn on an off. They instantly connect when turned on. They fold brilliantly to store in the fabric bag provided. The charge quickly and with such a long battery life, don't need charging often. The quality of sound is excellent and fab value for money.
