I purchased this product for a christmas gift. Shipping was fast. Would highly recommend. Was exactly what my son wanted.

I bought this for college, since I needed something cheap to block out the noise. This came pretty quickly and I was initially surprised. The sound quality is actually lower than that of Skullcandy's Ink'd earbuds. I have that too, but found that it was tedious to have to jut it back into my ear every time someone tried to talk to me. The sound quality is not that great, but still tolerable. I guess my ears are a bit bigger than normal people, so my earlobe is kind of trapped in between the cups of it. It has it's own volume control and a separate cord in case you want it to be longer. Sometimes the sound leaks outside and other people can hear what it is if it's loud, but since this isn't noise canceling headphones, you can still hear people quite clearly if they are close to you.

Other than that, you get what you paid for. If you want noise cancelers then you have to pay more.

Skullcandy Hesh

Had these for a few months now. Since then, I have purchased a couple of other makes, both of whice were a bit more expensive.

So now I have been able to compare, not just the recent purchases, but also three other sets of headphones,which I own.

They play loud. It's not just about how loud you turn the volume up, on the radio, IPod, MP3 player. It's how the sound is delivered.

I use them especially for playing early sixties rock n roll music. The Hesh do not destroy the energy created, in these early (old) recordings. Which is why I favour the Hesh. My other headphones do.

I think the pre-dominant feature, of the HESH sound, is the portrayal of the vocal. It is right up front, and loud. Not a warm, laid back sound. I like the base. It's deep (dependant on the recording) but does not swamp the rest of the sound.

Maybe, there are many aspects of these phones, which could be improved. Sure. Like, there could be more detail mid range. A bit more zing up top. But my final say is, that if I had to replace any of my headphones I have, I would make the HESH my first consideration.

Other music, I listen; Pop, some metal. Quite a lot of DAB radio .

Cheers.

okay, i have the all black hesh headphones and they look preety dope on and off....
DESPITE what people say they dont go all that loud....the bass is okay too but its nothing out of this world.
are they worth 50 dollars? HELL NO!
35? i guess if u have the money.
i spent 35 on em kuz i needed some "stereo" headphones just to keep at home.
BTW i also have the skullcandy chops, smokin buds, titans, inkd, and skullcrushers.....and the best out of all of them are the inkd, buy both and see if im lying.....
hope this reveiw helped.

I purchased these headphones for my teenage son. He is delighted with them, as they provide strong bass response, clean sound at high volume levels, and very good isolation of ambient noise. For the price I believe they represent a good value in this style of headphone.
