With the Hesh ANC, Skullcandy has delivered an impressive pair of headphones that stand out with very punchy bass, competent noise cancelling, and a cozy fit — all at a very consumer-friendly price. In addition, bright highs and mids pair with thunderous low ends, resulting in a sculpted and impressive sound for cans in the budget range.
Skullcandy has made a name for itself by crafting audio experiences that truly stand out, and the Hesh wireless headphones move the company even further in that direction. With sculpted audio, the listening experience feels almost active, featuring sparkling highs and mids that make treble feel like a star — and truly thundering, intense, borderline overwhelming bass (depending on the track). For less than a third of what you'd spend for some of the pricier consumer ANC headphones, the Hesh is comfortable, well-designed, and takes the edge off of background noise, though they do not reach the peak of noise-cancelling performance provided by a headset like the Bose 700.
