Skullcandy Hesh 2

The affordable Skullcandy Hesh 2 headphone pair offers a refined listening experience and is a solid value in its price range.

Distortion-free, clear audio performance with solid bass response. Inline remote and microphone for mobile phones. Removable cable adds value.

Fit is a bit awkward. Can sound brittle on instrumental and classical music.

Skullcandy Hesh 2 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Skullcandy Hesh 2.0 headphones are full-sized headphones that fit over the entire ear. By Skullcandy's standards the styling is relatively conservative, but if you find black or white boring you can find them in a range of more upbeat finishes....

Skullcandy Hesh 2 review: Flashy with substance

This pair of headphones has some impressive specifications on paper. We try to find out if it's really that good, or if it's all pizzaz without real jazz.

Great bass Good build quality Great for gaming

Treble is weak Slightly uncomfortable fit

Great Headphones

One egg off just because of seller. Otherwise these are great headphones.

Great, full sound. Not heavily skewed frequency wise like some headphones. Construction feels sturdy. Removable cable = replaceable.

Though it is not a big deal, there was no box. It was shipped in a padded envelope, so the headphones were inside their pouch which was torn. The box troubles me simply because shipping on just an envelope can easily damage the headphones. The seller...

Good Quality, Good Price, Waiting to see longevity

I'm waiting to see how long they last, but thus far I can say that it's a very nice pair I'll be sticking with while I can. I actually got these to replace my Skullcandy Crusher headphones. Why would I do that, you ask furiously. The amp on the...

-Sound. These sound good. Their range is good, and the whole range is very audible. None of the sounds seem muddled, and instruments are easily discernible. Bass is also very nice. -Removable Cable. FANTASTIC if you own a cat or pet that thinks your...

-The build feels just a little flimsy. It's all plastic constructions, sans the top which appears to have a rubberized coating. I'm hoping this doesn't degrade disgustingly with age, but we'll see. -Cord is a little short, and it's very thick. This is...

Skullcandy Hesh 2

I wouldn't recommend these to anyone I know especially since you could probably find more comfortable headphones for less somewhere else.

It's got a great design from a style perspective. The cord isn't flimsy

The sound quality isn't /that/ good. I'd say it's noticeably worse than apple earphones. It's also not that comfortable to wear. I can only wear these headphones for 30 minutes at a time. A lot of the times I just give up and keep them around my neck...

Great Headphones for the price

I live in the town that ScullCandy is based out of so I have always heard good things about them. I bought them at first because I wanted to support our local business but I was not disappointed.

I bought these at a Play n trade warehouse sale a few months ago and they ended up being better than expected. I use them in a quiet office environment daily and they are nice because I can turn them up pretty loud and my co workers cannot hear my...

Some of the finish is peeling off due to setting them on my desk and taking them on and off many times during the day. But that does not really bother me.

Painful

All in all, they are the worst headphones I've ever owned. I wouldn't buy them again if my life depended on it. However, skullcandy headphones arnt all bad, the ones i used before these was the smaller version (the ones that fold in on themselves),...

They do make good quality and do cancel a lot of sound. Plus the graphics on the sides are pretty epic

These are by far the most painful headphones ive ever used (others being ones you wrap around your ear). yes they are sound canceling, but being as such, they are VERY tight. I game and learning to develop games, so im constantly on the computer with...
