- The Skullcandy Hesh ANC headphones retail for $129 are the best headphones I've used for under $200. Sony and Sennheiser have major competition in the "budget headphone" category.

Just picked some up for $100 at Target after listening to your review. I really like them so far! They feel and sound great. I love the active noise canceling. Going to be taking them with my on my trip to Hawaii this weekend, thanks for the review! Who knew Skullycandy could produce such great products.
That's great to hear! Perfect timing too and that's inspiring you're going to Hawaii. I've never been. Your first time going there? Feedback how they do on a flight will be awesome too since I didn't do that lol
@@TechOutAdam they really can’t pair with iphone
all there products are good man their indy anc fuel earbuds they are so much better than all the other earbuds out there
Just ordered a pair this morning, I'm so excited.
Good choice! I still love these headphones till this day. Haven't used them in a while but it's a good to go in this budget range.
Thanks for the review. I'll go buy these now!
Of course! What did you like best about the review? Also, if you have any other questions please let me know. These are on sale often for $99. Really fun pair of headphones for the price.
I was confused between Sony wh-ch710n and this one, I will go for this one because of the better build quality. The review was awesome 👌. Thanks!
Good choice! I'd rather take these because they actually come with a case, are more comfortable and are a better color. I even like the black ones but Skullcandy did way better than the Sony's especially for the price.
ayyy i picked these up, same color, only thing i’d say is it doesn’t block out all the background sound like the TV or ppl talking, and it lowkey gets uncomfy and hot within 10 minutes or so
Dang that's a bummer because I really do like these. What brands have you tried so far? Thanks for the comment and feedback.
Excellent review!
Thank you!
Is this better than the Crusher Evo's in terms of sound quality? Or are both about the same?
edit: I love basses though
Hey thanks for the review, appreciate it! Before I go and get one of these, it seemed as though you're speaking from a distance and voice levels were pretty low during the mic test section. Do you have to speak louder while using the headphones mic?
Well I was in a real coffee shop during the mic test so I had no control over the environment, it was in and out but I'd say if I remember right about 70-80db in noise volume.
About 5 month ago on my birthday i got these after and hour of looking. Amazing headphones my LG Velvet has a built in equalizer. And it also has built in settings like treble bass booster ect i have it set on bass booster but it is absolutely amazing i love it i use it during school. I have music playing 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I listen to music during classes and everything and in the loud hallways i turn my music all the way up it i cant hear a thing. I also use it while making music its a very good studio headphone
Thanks for the feedback! Skullcandy did a great job with these. It’ll only get better from here.
Be careful of tinnitus
I can confirm, have had these for about a month, got them on sale for $100, and they deliver with everything they say they have, best purchase I’ve made in a while
also I have an iPhone XR and the tile feature works it just took a second
Would they be good for working iut
@@jorgerojo6505 yes i wear them all the time
what do i do if the max volume is too quiet like i feel like these should be louder?
@@wbarnie9052 Look at your headphone safety settings in your phone. It could be limiting how loud your headphones really are.
Are these good for working out?
This got better and deeper bass than Crusher Evo?
İ am going to buy this headphones , tell please , is there any diffrence between bluetooth and cabel connection on quality of sound ???
u deserve 1 million 👏👏
I hope so one day! Just got to keep pushing. Appreciate the comment and encouragement. What did you like best?
I love my Hesh ANCs! They’re light weight, sleek looking and easy to use on the daily!
Every now and then you get a product like this where you have no complaints, the price is right and you get a ton of value out of them. I've worn them off and on a lot till this day.
which is better, these or Sony xb900n
Would you recommend the hesh evo for a slightly lower budget? I really like these!
As long as you don't care for any noise cancellation than yes of course.
ios has an equalizer setting for the genres of music. what’s the difference?
Hello, quick question, regarding durability, do these have the same problem as the Hesh 3? If you weren’t aware, they break super easily after a couple months of regular use. (The piece connecting the headphones with the body)
I’m afraid of buying these and having that same problem again.
I actually haven't used the Hesh 3's but these are identical in design. Practically the exact same.
Does anyone know why they keep disconnecting? I just got mine and they keep disconnecting for no reason
I have a pair of mpow h21s and I love the sound on them but they don't have an ambient mode so no gym or bicycling with them. Is the ambient mode on the Hesh ANC good enough for cycling?
The transparency mode is good enough, mic pick up a bit of wind noise though. Hard to say as I haven't tried them for that.
Do they randomly disconnect sometimes? Cause that keeps happening to me
Can I activate ANC out of box and after powering up without pairing?
Are this headphones still up-to-date?
can anyone give me some advice about whether to get these headphones or the sony xb-910n with the purpose of active noise cancellation? anc is basically my main priority and i'm on a budget. thanks!
I would assume the Sony's for sure but I haven't reviewed them. Couldn't give an honest answer.
Do you have the internal earcup measurements? great video
No sorry. Not sure what the exact measurements are.
So I'm looking to buy some new headphones, and I wanted to know if these are better quality that the hesh evos or not.
I haven't reviewed the Hesh Evo's but I'm sure it's the same. They're identical in every way except the ANC part.
Can it be used in the gym?
Is it better than senheiser hear on 3 Wh910 N and Senhesier 450bt. I have heard skullcandy has terrible build quality. Hows this one. Will it last
So far it's lasted really well. Yes, the 450BT's are a better buy than these for sure just because the sound quality is much better, the ANC is about the same but I'd prefet Sennheiser's 450BT over these.
Its can be work at playstation 4?
Just ordered them , i hope they be what im expecting
Update ???
If you had to pick between these and the sennheiser 450bt headphones which ones would you choose?
Idk if you're still looking for input but I just got the senheiser 450bt and hated them out of the box so much so that I returned them the next day and got the hesh anc. I've only had them for a few hours now and can tell you with all confidence they sound WAY better than the 450bt's in my personal experience. The best way I can describe the 450bt's audio is flat. Nothing stood out to me they just sounded flat.
I been having my Skullcandy Crushers since 2016 and they bearly messed up so are these better or should i just buy another pair of skullcandy crusher?
I'd say buy another pair mainly for better sound quality and connectivity especially if they're from 2016.
crusher are better
Is it only Bluetooth or i can use it with wire also??
This ore the soundcore q35?
For $38 I found some jbl tune 710's which is just killer. I'm more than willing to give up ANC's at this point, especially if you get 50hr battery life. Should be a nice upgrade over my $35 sennhiser 4.4bt's, especially the larger ear cups, usb c and 2x the battery life.
Can't you use a 3rd party equalizer app for android? (i.e. RootlessJamesDSP)
So my Hesh 2s are wearing out a little bit, tbh they just need some cosmetic love but I might start looking for a pair of these at walmart or something, I'm mainly worried about how it fits considering my Hesh 2s are a little small, I just want something bigger that feels snug over my ears like my Turtle Beach Recon 200s
The Hesh 2's are more bulky than the Hesh ANC or Hesh Evo's. For me the comfort is definitely there. What about Soundcore? Ever give them a try?
@@TechOutAdam yeah definitely, whatever I get for a replacement is gonna be sleeker lol, and no I haven't tbh
I just picked these up from a pawn shop in 2022 for just 50 bucks great buy
Just got these for Black Friday from Walmart for 50 bucks a few days ago! I am excited to try these out and ive always been a fan of skullcandy. I used to own the skullcandy wireless, and those were really good, and used to own the hesh 2's, and they were really good for the time.
Same just got them they had to fix the price to 49 because they had the tag still up but rang up at original price
hi, hope you see this, but how would you rate these head phones now 8 months later?
Quality-wise and experience-wise I would say they've held up pretty well. I haven't noticed any connection issues any issues with overall hardware or anything.
@@TechOutAdam beautiful, thanks a bunch
Can you recommend me between jbl770 anc vs hesh anc
I want good build and sound quality
At this point I'd recommend the Soundcore Space One's. I've been loving them. They're $99. I wish Soundcore would freaking pay me already but I can't lie in their quality.
Put them up against the Soundcore Q30's. Night & Day...Soundcore wins easily...and only $79. I found the Hesh ANC to be too bassy and the kids & highs were muted...
I own the Sony XM fours those are my noise canceling and I own the Skullcandy crushers evils that’s for sound and fun
That's actually a really good combo right there! You got the best of both worlds. I always tell people to go with the Hesh ANC's for affordability for sure.
good thing im getting these for 80 on black fridayyyy
Should i get these or the venues?
I haven't tested out the Venue headphones but I'd say these are probably better.
Weird question: where did you get your glasses?
Warby Parker. I'm actually due to get a new pair!
I got a pair of these for $40 what a steal
These are now on SALE on their website for $80!!!!
That's wild! If anyone is considering these now is the time to get them!
@@TechOutAdam i got them for 80 after watching your review thanks a lot !!!
I got mine for $39.99 they sound great
What’s better the Hesh ANC’s or the Crusher Evo’s????
Whew, great question. I'd go with the Crusher Evo's for two reasons: 1. Better build quality and it seems it will last much longer for the price you pay. 2. The noise isolation is good enough to do without ANC and the music quality is a little bit richer in overall performance. Just be careful about using the bass boost too much lol
@@TechOutAdam Hey Adam, great review of both the Hesh ANCs and Crusher Evos. Just wanted to tackle this question one last time before I purchase either one.
In this video you mentioned the Crusher Evos felt uncomfortable and even gave you a slight headache after a while, mainly due to its weight.
Having said that, would you still stand by your recommendation of the Crusher Evos over the Hesh ANCs?
I’m mostly looking to use these at the gym/running. I feel the Hesh ANCs would be light enough to not feel like they’re going to fall off when running or picking up weights. Also, the ANC would help drown out the commotion inside the gym, and while running the ambient mode would help with situational awareness.
However, the lack of bass boost + app EQ settings are preventing me from getting them. Would you say the Hesh ANCs *need* the bass boost & EQ to recover the reduction in sound quality from ANC being on? Or would the improvements be marginal at best?
Thanks in advance Adam.
@@Tommy-iq5kx what did you end up buying because I have the same exact questions that you just asked I want them mainly for the gym do they do a good job on staying on your head and what about the hesh ans bass is it good if you tried them?
@@basharmina2345 They’ve been really good, with one big drawback that’s not mentioned in reviews for some reason.
Pros: Very light, ANC is very good, very bass focused so good for extra push in the gym, comfortable, can go days without charging, charges super fast with usb-c, easy to clean, sturdy.
Cons: No app support meaning no adjustable EQ presets. The biggest drawback with the Hesh ANC is that even though bass is very good, it’s only very good when ANC is NOT activated. Once ANC is on it pretty much cancels out all of that sweet juicy bass and the sound quality drops considerably. If only you could increase your bass while ANC is on like in the app or via boost slider. I now only use without ANC which pretty much makes the ANC useless to me at this point. Essentially a lighter version of the Crusher Evo.
To be fair not using ANC or using ambient mode makes you more aware of your surroundings and safer without compromising sound quality. Ambient mode is great btw.
I would go with the Crusher Evos because the ANC is not even a selling point if you’re sacrificing all your bass to use it.
Are they better than soundcore q35?
I haven't reviewed those, my guess is yes.
Get skullcandy crusher Evo.
You're the first one who complained about the build quality, can you please develop the idea, I really want to know if it's worth the money or not before buying the headset
I just bought a pair and they are very good starter headphones I honestly have no complaints they sound great and the noise canceling is good.
@@Volii. I bought one as well and I love the build quality just as much as anything else about them. They're good enough for me
Just got these refurbished for 34$ !!
its been 4 month how is them
what the fuck is wrong with people thinking $129 is "budget" nothing over $50 is a budget anything
If you think $129 is THAT expensive you need to step it up in your life.
@@TechOutAdam it is objective fact that anything over $50 is not a budget. you are fucking delusional if you think it is. moreover your statement is elitist. 90% of the worlds population can not afford $129 headphones eltiist prick
@@TechOutAdam the vast majority of people in this world don't even make $129 a day let alone in a week. most people in the world live paycheck to paycheck
@@TechOutAdamwoah what a shallow comment…didn’t expect that from you ill be honest
80$ right now on amazon, I got one for 56$ with 30% cashback
yeah i was checking this vid out cuz of the sale i saw on amazon
how did you get 30% cash back? do you have an amazon credit card?
Snap that's a STEAL.
@@gemaguerra8659 It was black friday deal from my students debit card
I love them but everyone near me can hear the music I'm listening to
The biggest issue is it just didn't work.
Yes that is quite a problem 😂
They only work in one side
I'm not sure what you mean, can you explain?
@@TechOutAdam I hear them in one side
Tipp: Get the Sony wh900n, they may not be as stylish but the better bang for your bucks
I've heard good things about those, of course I haven't tested them but may have too. Thanks for the recommendation.
I'm planning to do that actually
also is this sponsored?
No I wish I was getting paid for this LOL
@@TechOutAdam Loolll feel you, stay on the grind, what you sow is what you reap
I just got a pair for my birthday and Im a little disappointed you don't talk about how bad the noise cancelling they use is. Whenever I don't have my headphones in ambient mode they sound horrible and everything sounds like its in a cup and trying to talk with the noise cancelling on made my sinuses act up. Maybe noise cancelling should stay with earbuds and shouldn't be put on headphones imo unless there is a better noise cancelling headset if so please link.
Trading a Nintendo switch for this💀 that’s how good it is
Dang that's a tough switch lol
$50!
sadly the built quality is very bad. Those ugly buttons are a deal breaker for me.
LOL this are just an "upgrade" of the venue
I mean you're not lying LOL
Budgetary??? In Russia, this is an incredibly high price, we are a poor people 🤣
Dang how much is it over there? $129 is considered "budget" in the USA for real lol Most top tier headphones are in the $300+ range.
Imagine saying 130 is budget 💀💀💀
I just amazoned these 🦾 Only good cheap kind I don’t see at the gym everyday.
