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.

High Quality Headphones
I've been a loyal Skullcandy user since ~2015 when my brother got me a pair of wired purple Skullcandy earbuds, ever since they've been the only earbuds and/or headphones I ever buy. I had a pair of Hesh 3s (they're still kicking and work great) but I wanted something new that had a type C port, which these do. And let me tell you, I've used them once to test them today and they have exceeded the high expectations placed on them by their predecessors. The headphones are comfortable with memory foam ear covers, the top is suppirted by foam on the inner ring of them. The sound is crisp and clear, even when turned up to max volume. The sound is still crisp when taken off your head. The noise cancellation is fantastic. And that's not to mention the charging speed, I had them plugged in for maybe 20 minutes before they were at 100%. Everything connected quickly via Bluetooth, and a double-ended aux cord was included, alongside two chargers (one double-ended Type-C, and another USB to Type-C). The over ear speakers also swivel in both directions making these headphones left and right handed friendly. The buttons are also easy to find based off of touch alone (as someone who is low vision I greatly appreciate Skullcandy always having raised buttons with distinct shapes). Overall I recommend these wholeheartedly, and if I could give more then 5 stars I absolutely would. High quality headphones like always.

This marks my 5th attempt in over a year trying to check off all of my boxes when searching for a pair of headphones. Here is what I wanted:
- Under $100 (Got these for $80)
- Over-ear
- Wireless
- Good sound stage and width
- Good battery life
- Non-obtrusive Noise Canceling
- Option for wired connection
- Prominent bass, punchy/smooth mids, clear highs
- Comfortable on the head and ears (I have a L/XL head)
Every box was checked except for one tiny thing in the audio, which is kind of negated on price point alone. More on that in this next paragraph.
Just got these today, have tested them with about every genre that mixes differently (ex music producer and engineer), tested them on some of my favorite mixed movies and played a few of my favorite games... here is my take on the sound.
With ANC on, the mids essentially disappeared as well as the compression on the bass, but it's not nearly as bad as some higher-end headphones I tried. The highs are still nice and crisp with the center of the mix (especially vocals) pushing through nicely.
With ANC off, the headphones sound great. The sound stage is there, even though the bass comes through very heavy, you can tell they put a lot of thought into the drivers and panning information. The layering is beautiful with a well mastered/mixed song. Very compressed feel but overall impressive for the cost. The one problem with the mix is that the mids are not very prevalent. You can hear it in most of the modern mixes of today, especially in the vocals, guitar tones, drum fills, swelly instruments and other smooth mid instruments, as well as certain FX and folly in movies. They are there, but not to the quality of like an expensive pair of Sans or Boss. Regardless, I'm pretty impressed.
The connectivity and functionality of the headphones are pretty straight forward. Easy to understand, instructional images on a single faced print out with a button map. Comes with a short USB-C to USB-C, and even shorter USB to USB-C, an AUX cable (3.5mm), a 1 year global warranty booklet and of course the headphones. No protective case. But the packaging is solid and well designed. Pairing was a breeze
They are lightweight and durable in their construction. The headband adjustment increment locks are a bit loose but doesn't seem to matter when on your head. The ears/cans themselves have a short ranged swivel on them. The cushioning material and density are somewhere in the middle in terms of quality but they are super soft and decently breathable. They kind of hug your head like a concerned but not overbearing mother who has cookies waiting for you after your talk.
They look absolutely beautiful. The matte finish is kind of a ballsy choice because of potential scratches and oils but damn, are they pretty. Skullcandy has always had some Master Chief meats Alien lookin designs but these have a definite umph in class about them.
Overall, I feel like Skullcandy has stepped it up with these headphones. They understand the assignment and have listened to what people are complaining about. At least I can dream in thinking I helped contribute to that 😂
I will update this review soon to let you all know how durable and consistent everything remains, as well as battery life.
Happy Shopping :)
