> 24 hourSkullcandy has been my preferred brand for years. I always bought their wired earbuds. Ive had other more expensive brand wireless headphones but these are by far my favorite! Pairing them to your phone is easy. The buttons for sound/ skipping tracks have a raised mark making them easy to identify. The power on/ of switch is smooth making that easily identifiable as well. The active noise cancelation is amazing along with sound quality. I did have an issue last year where they kept unpairing unexpectedly after a few seconds. I didnt want to give up on these and luckily I didnt. That issue has long been fixed by an android update. Now Im converting all my family members to Skullcandy. As for the battery life, there are days I will wear these hours on end listening to music then torn them off. When I put them on again Im usually at 70% battery life (on Android easy to see by looking at your connected Bluetooth devices). If I do run out of battery, a quick charge 10 minutes or more of Im busy doing something and Im right back at 100%. The cushions around the ears are comfortable although if you wear them for hours be prepared to sweat a little. The entire headset is adjustable too so as to accommodate different head sizes. Overall I highly recommend these! I dont think youll find better quality sound in this price range. I forgot to mention Ive had my first set of these for 3 years and counting now. They still work and charge seamlessly.

> 24 hourSometimes Ill be wearing these headphones and then all the sudden Im breaking out in random dances throughout the house. Im so happy that that nobody has been home yet to see my bad dance moves. These actually stay tight on my head though when Im dancing and they arent uncomfortable or tight either. I find it so easy to get lost in the music with the noise canceling feature that these headphones have! Seriously, I get so much more work done, and just feel really relaxed with the noise blocked out. These headphones block out about 75% of the sound. The Noise Canceling option can be turned on or off depending on your preference simply by double pressing the top botton on the headphones. You can also turn on ambient mode by double pressing the top button. Ambient mode allows all the sounds around you to be heard really well. Ambient mode doesnt even sound like you have headphones on. It sounds more like listening to music on a stereo in a room that has external speakers. This mode is great if you want to have a conversation with someone while still wearing your headphones. I love this mode because I dislike having to take my headphones off when I want to hear something or talk to someone. There is a also a volume up and down button on the headphones and a power button. The volume up and down button can be used for going backwards and forwards on tracks. The power button can also be used for answering calls. The included user guide also provides very good details on the button locations and uses as well. The manufacturers website even has an electronic manual if you prefer to read digital as opposed to the included paper manual. Now that you know a little bit about the features and functions, lets talk about the sound quality. I have never owned a quality high end pair of headphones like these. The first time I put them on and starting listening, I couldnt believe my ears! The music was so crisp and clear, and I could actually hear the music coming to life. I heard instruments in songs that I didnt even know where in hidden in songs. The bass on these headphones is crazy powerful too! I had never heard headphones with noticeable bass either, and I never want to go back. In fact, everything about these headphones makes me never want to go back to a less quality pair. I dont ever want to take them off and cant wait to use them on a long road trip when everyone is talking really loud in the car for hours at a time. Lets go ahead and finish up by talking about a few last minute things about these headphones that are pretty important to mention. Despite these headphones medium size, they are super portable. They fold up and twist into a small little bundle and also include a nice carrying bag. The carry bag has a little bit of extra room in it and a small pouch. These headphones also have an included tile in them for locating them. All you need to do is download the tile app to start using the tile. When its time to charge these headphones, you will need to charge them with a type C cable(included). It also has stereo input plug in case you want to use these on a computer and dont want to use the default Bluetooth option. (stereo input cable also included). According to manual located online, these headphones will NOT work with an Xbox or Ps4, but will work with a Nintendo switch. If you decide to take the occasional phone call on these headphones, then you should know that the quality is excellent as well. My overall opinion of these headphones is one of pure amazement! I still cant believe just how breathtaking music can sound on these and I am so in love with the noise canceling function and the ability to zone out insanely loud outer world around us.

> 24 hourIm not an audio enthusiast but I do think they are very good! Noise cancelling could be better but I love them! I can use them wirelessly on my phone for music and then I can plug it into my pc with the included aux for gaming!

> 24 hourThese headphones are comfortable and easy to pair to your phone or device. They’re also great for indoor use at an office or the gym. They’re HORRIBLE outside. If you plan to take a jog or walk outdoors — you’ll be treated to wind tunnel sounds from the slightest breeze. Absolute waste of $100. Had I know they’re essentially useless outside, I never would have bought them. Buyer beware.

> 24 hourThese headphones feel fairly weak in quality, as in the actual build quality. I doubt they would last very long with everyday use. Noise cancellation leaves much to be desired, and I believe it can sometimes overpower the actual music itself. I will say this, they are loud!

> 24 hourI didnt even get to try out the battery life or noise cancellation. I put these on and started listening to them. They sound terrible, not crisp and clean, volume seemed low. Not worth what they cost, not even close. Better off spending your money else where. Im returning these for sure. I did pick these out because of some of the reviews. I dont understand at all how someone could pick these over other good brands. I guess they dont know the difference between good and not good. I did compare these with a pair of beats that were the same price. The Beats were hands down better on sound quality. Ever since apple bought beats I wanted to get away from them but I guess Im gong back.

> 24 hourI like the Skullcandy products. Ive only used them for music at work, and the audio is good. The noise cancelling works well, but I dont typically use it. Ear cup material is soft, rather comfy.

> 24 hourSound quality is great and battery lasts me a long time without having to recharge. Only issue I have with these is that theyre not very loud. I got this pair because Ive heard about Skullcandy having loud headphones and I definitely think they couldve been louder. Besides that, theyre a solid pair. Theyre very comfortable and nose cancellation is pretty decent for the price.
