Excellent product from Skullcandy. I owned their previous (non-bluetooth) Hesh 2 headphones for about 2 years, and aside from having to replace the audio cable after a while and the ear cups, they still work perfectly fine. But I thought it was about time I upgraded to their Bluetooth lineup. First things first, the quality of these headphones cannot be understated. Depending on which color option you choose, you’ll either get them in a matte or glossy finish. I purchased the matte black variant, and they feel great. They have a very premium feel in the hand and the bands around the ear cups along with the Skullcandy logo on the left and right sides of the headphones feature chrome accents that pop, but aren’t over the top. Needless to say they look great. Fingerprints can show up every once in a while because of the matte finish, but wiping with a simple cloth instantly gets rid of them. The ear cups are EXTREMELY comfortable and have a very different and updated design compared to the standard Hesh 2’s. Not only is the padding more comfortable for longer listening sessions, but little details like visible stitching in and around the cups make it visually appealing. The headband doesn’t feature standard padding, but instead is covered by a high quality rubber material that’s actually surprisingly comfortable, and the headband itself is made of metal, so it can be stretched to fit just about anyone’s head without worrying about it being a breaking point. Keep in mind though that the rest of the headset is made of plastic, a very durable plastic, but plastic nonetheless. So it is recommended to have some sort of carrying case if you think there might be a chance of dropping them. Now to move onto how they sound. For people who are simply looking for an awesome listening experience these headphones won’t let you down. Vocals are clear and there’s enough bass present to make just about anyone happy. To get a bit technical, these have a much more natural, neutral sound signature then the standard Hesh 2’s, but still retains a good amount of bass, which is great if you’re into that sort of thing. The difference is immediately noticeable when comparing the 2 headphones. Highs and lows are there, and the mids are the only thing that could be a bit more present. Also, the ear cups are great at isolating sound from the outside world, at the same time having just enough clamp force to keep things comfortable. Be aware that depending on how loud you listen to your music, other people might be able to hear what you’re listening to. Bluetooth time is great, just about what they advertise and the pairing is simple and easy. The mic quality is okay, not bad but not great which is to be expected from just about any set of Bluetooth headphones. You can walk away from whatever device you’re listening on a pretty good distance, but don’t expect to walk a mile away and have the connection be stable…like some people in the reviews knocking a star off. If you are in a situation where you run out of battery, you can use the included, detachable cable to continue listening just fine without power which is a nice bonus.Overall, these headphones are easily worth 5 Stars. The style, comfort, premium look and feel along with the listening experience just can’t be beat at under $100. They’re that good, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get into bluetooth headphones. Whether they’re your first pair or if you just want a nice headset that won’t empty your bank account, you can’t go wrong with these.

Updated Review 2: (37 days later)I’ve had these headphones for quite a while and they are nothing short of awesome. I still think the sound could be a tiny bit crispier (like the beats) but the price range for this headset makes it ok.The battery takes a long time to discharge and I can get one full day out of one charge which is great. My ears do get a bit hot but it’s expected if there’s warm weather and the cups cover the entire ear. They do hurt the top part of my ear (left mostly) after long periods of time but it’s not something too bad.What did get me annoyed (A LOT) was the lack of volume control when wired and the lack of song control when wireless, so I was trying to find a solution. Just out of curiosity, I plugged my beats cable into this to see if the control would work and it does!! So I purchased a new cable for these headphones (Barely $7): Replacement Cable/Wire for Beats By Dre Headphones with Leather Pouch for them and it’s just what I needed!There will never be a solution for my wireless problem, but this tiny cable brings new life into a pair of headphones that are already amazing to begin with.Bottom line: I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again!Updated Review: (8 hours later)I’ve literally had these headphones on for the last 8 hours and I can tell they are very comfy to wear. Haven’t charged them at all and they are still holding up strong. Paired them with a Macbook Pro and no issues at all.Marathoned a tv show on iTunes (4 hrs aprox) and the sound is very good for spoken word. There is no lag between the sound and the video.Had a 2 hour FaceTime call and the sound quality is great. Testing on my mac I asked the other party to see if there was a degradation of sound by using the built-in mic and the one on the mac and they reported no major differences. Using the mic on the headset on bluetooth does lower the sound quality for the listener considerably. So I would suggest (if you’re using a mac), to go to sound preferences and on the input tab, use the built in microphone. It’s more reliable.Leaving my phone on a table, I’d say the bluetooth range is about 20 average steps away from the device and the music is still very clear.Started jumping, dancing around, spinning and they didn’t come off, they fit kind of snug and over my entire ears (which is a good thing for me).The only thing I didn’t notice before my purchase is that there is no play/pause, rw, fw buttons on the headset, only the on/off button, and volume up/down. This isn’t necessarily a deal breaker (nor it would demerit a star) but if you’re looking for this, they aren’t there.The cable is as long as the one of the Solo HD Beats I had so that’s also a plus.I’ll make a third review later during the week to see how they hold up with more use.Original Review:Just got these on the mail and I have to admit I’m impressed. Although I have been thoroughly spoiled by the sound my Solo HD Beats have given me for the past 4 years, I wanted to give these a try.I have owned Skullcandy in-ear headphones before but never these. I have to admit pairing them to an iPhone 6S was very easy and I like the quality of sound (for $70), but I’ll still end up splurging on a new pair of Beats wireless, just because the sound on these tends to be a little flat in comparison.Don’t get me wrong, they sound really good, but they don’t have the extra oomph I was looking for. The cans are very light and they rest very nicely over my ears. I’ll be testing out these headphones and updating my review in the future. So far, 5 stars to them.

Updating to 5 based on purchasing some 30 dollar other brand BT headphones over the ear for my wife and the skull candy headphones put them to shame. The battery life is way better and the sound lag on the other headphones while watching TV is way worse. The skull candy headphone audio syncs pretty much exactly with the video. The comfort thing is still an issue, but like I said, not if you only have them on for a few hours. Still great headphones!I wish I could give these 4.5 stars, but I really had to take some stars off for comfort. I can only wear these for about 5 hours a day without my ears hurting. This isn’t really a huge deal for me because I rarely wear them for more than a few hours at a time. Below is my review on the individual aspects of the headphones:Style: 3 stars. These things are kind of bulky in comparison to beats or some other more expensive headphones.Sound; 5 stars. This things sound awesome! I really like listening to music with these headphones on.Quality: 5 stars. These are high quality, look like they will last forever. I have had them for 5 months now and had no issues.Connectivity: 5 stars. Very easy to pair with all of my BT compatible devices. Stays connected and has a good range.Battery Life: 5 stars. The battery seems like it lasts forever! I charge these every once in a while just to be sure they don’t die on me. I can listen to them all week for several hours a day without them dying.Price: 5 stars. The price is very good for name brand, well built headphones. I didn’t have to worry about paid reviewers reviewing these and making them sound better than they are. I know several other people that have these headphones. Sometimes name brand is just a better way to go for warranty and reliability.Comfort: 3 stars. They are ok for a little while, but the pads are nowhere near as soft and comfy as my friends Beats headphones. He let me try them for a while one day and they are way more comfortable. I am not going to spend and extra $150 to $200 for that comfort when I really don’t wear headphones all day anyway.Bottom line: I do recommend these headphones to anyone looking for a good BT over the ear headphone for moderate use. If you can try them on first, I recommend that. Skullcandy is a reliable and trustworthy name brand and you can’t go wrong with these headphones at this price!

Got as a gift and love it for both music and podcasts; have used on airplane to block out noise. Comfortable fit; Comes with a short charging cord. Buttons are large enough they’re easy to feel and manipulate for volume control. Blue tooth connection works well.

My husband had the exact headphones for years, he wanted the same ones.We bought them he says they’re perfect. Great price too
