Skullcandy Hesh 2 Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone and Android with Microphone / 15 Hours of Battery Life / Great for Music, School, Workouts, Travel, and Gaming - Silver/Black

First of all, yes. I love Skullcandy. Second I will be constructive.So, first of all, after buying a wired pair of Hesh, then discovering that I could buy a wireless pair of Hesh, I was sold.The price tag was a bit "high end" for my wallet (£50-70) but with a shiny new credit card I pulled it out of my wallet and said (insert expletive here) it.The Skullcandy Hesh 2.0 comes with a Micro B usb cable for charging, an auxillary 3.5mm cable with handsfree functionality, instructions and a handy carry pouch to keep the headphones safe while in your bag. They are light weight, at 180g.Sound.Like it's wired predecessor (which still holds a special place in my heart) the Hesh has faux leather foam pads that will fit comfortably over the ear. For you bass lovers it thumps it out for you, and for your classical lovers it picks up notes you didn't realise was there. They're very good at cancelling noise, whilst letting you indulge in your own private concert. Even with the volume down low, there's a still good chance that you can hear whatever you're listening to (unless you turn the volume to 0). A lover of music myself, I've found very little fault with the quality of the drivers, nor the delivery of sound...but....if you have some eargasmic tunes on your playlist, turn the volume down, the passive drivers may vibrate outwards and bounce off the hard shell of your sound cancelling shells.ControlsIntuitive, simple and fluid.Turning on the Hesh 2.0 for the first time was easy to work out. Paring them to my devices, a breeze with or without the instruction manual, pairing the headphones is simple, you'll even get a robotic female voice informing you that you're "connected" or if they are "Pairing". A purple/lilac light will flash around the power button while the headphones waits to be paired with a nearby device and flash blue when paired.Once you're playing your favourites skipping tracks is simple enough as well. Press and hold the + button to go forward, or press and hold the - button to go back a track. Single press the + to turn the volume up and single press the - to turn the volume down. Quick press the power button to pause or press and hold to turn the device on/off. My only complaint at this point so far is it doesn't go loud enough, but in addition to the volume controls on my phone, problem solved.Power.Like many other rechargeable devices on the market, the Hesh requires a Micro B USB interface to charge (provided in the packaging). But charging time is, I suspect 8 hours. Since I charge the headphones overnight, I've not had the opportunity to time the actual charge. But with 15+ hours playback, even if you listen to your favourite tracks for 90 minutes for a week, you'll still have charge left over for the next week, so there's no need to worry about running out of battery mid track. Even if you do, don't worry! The Hesh 2.0 comes with a detachable 3.5mm cable. Sound quality doesn't drop with the cable but is improved (more on the cable later).However, inserting the micro B cable for charging has proved to be....challenging. With earlier makes of the wireless Hesh range the charging port can be found at the base of the left ear cup. On this particular model, the port can be found ABOVE the same ear cup and you need to have some good hand/eye coordination and patience to insert the cord, once the headphones are fully recharged however, they are ready for business.Other bits.The audio cable is an average 1.2m long, providing ample space between your connected device and your ears. Handsfree sound quality is above average. The cable also offers control of your tracks with simple forward and backward buttons.The foam cushion earpads are very warm, I would discourage wearing this product in summer or for us Brits when the temperature is anywhere over 25CAlthough this is my favourite colour setup, black/silver was my brother's choice.15m is the farthest you can get with these headphones, any farther and the music starts breaking up.They are very durable, and although not great with the portability are very stylish and perfect for the urbanites among us.Calls received or made over bluetooth is seamless enough, but, I have to hold my phone to my mouth for the recipient to hear meThere is an audible click heard through the earpads when operating the controls located on the right ear pad.After owning this particular pair of Hesh for 4 months, they've become my new sidekick, I've had 2 instances when the Bluetooth signal dropped and connection was lost, this was within a space of 30 days but I haven't encountered this problem again since updating my phone.Headphones are compatible with the latest standard of Bluetooth, although my phone is 4.0, the headphones can be paired with devices that are Bluetooth 4.1.

I love these headphones. They are very comfortable to wear. They have excellent sound quality. They are not noise cancelling headphones but they certainly do muffle any external noise.They are very easy to connect and they really do hold their charge extremely well. I have mainly used them to listen to music or for telephone calls, the other caller can hear me quite clearly and vice versa, they have a very good range so you don't need to carry your phone or device around that they are connected upto.I can definitely recommend these and would not hesitate to buy them again.

Disclaimer: I’m an audio snob!I love deep heavy bass and use mine with various headphone amps they can deliver bass through amps and still sound clear. With normal case use eg no headphone amp they’re still good I’m happy to use them this way too the Bluetooth is especially useful they’re not the loudest and clip easily on Bluetooth but the battery life is really good I can go for 3 days with heavy Bluetooth use or few weeks with light Bluetooth use and the Bluetooth amp is bypassed when using an aux cable this is a massive bonus as it means your headphone don’t need to be chargedBass good (better with aux)Mids excellentHighs good but needs a minor eq tweak

Bought these for my boyfriend who wears them 24/7 so needed really good battery life - and they delivered! The ear cups are made of a super comfy material and I am told the sound quality is excellent, Bluetooth lasts all day and more without needing to be charged very often and the detachable cable is perfect for when he needs to connect to his Xbox. Only issue is they don't fit around his neck for easy carrying, but they don't very often leave his ears anyway! Would definitely recommend.

Great sound quality, very good battery life and easy to use.However, pressing the volume buttons makes a very loud 'click' which is not pleasant when I'm trying to adjust the volume with them on. Also, while this may not be a problem for most people, the headband's very strong grip hurt my head for a while until I softened it up a bit (but that just my be because of my big head).

Sound reproduction in these headphones is brilliant, battery life is very good, i use mine all the time and was surprised at the length of charger, recharge to 100% is very quick, connection to bluetooth is first class, and the distance from source is brilliant, you can connect by cable is you wish, i bought some for xmas presents for family and they are well chuffed too

So I did a lot of research on headphones and these came out on top on a few websites which honestly the reviewers must have been drunk writing them.The sound quality of these headphones are so poor it is so echoey and almost producing no sound.Noise Cancellation is actually laughable for these to consider that they cancel out noise whatsoever I had the sound the highest it could be and still could the environment around me.The main reason I buy headphones is to listen to quality music whilst blocking out the rest of the world as the world is generally annoying and depressing these headphones made me consider taking my own life.

A gift for our sons birthday , he loves them . Sound quality brilliant , comfortable and look cool . He loves that there wireless bug have the cable to attach if needed charge quick too . Tempted to treat myself
