This review is from: Skullcandy SC-BHESH07 Hesh Headphone, Black (Electronics)

For a while I had been wanting to retire my apple earbuds and, under the recommendation of many friends, I went to skullcandy. Not only do their products look cool, but they are also great quality. For me it was between the HESH and the Skullcandy SCS-SCM Skullcrusher Subwoofer Multimedia Headphones Black. Lucky for me, I had friends with each. First I tried the Skullcrushers. While the bass was excellent when the subwoofers were on (you turn it on by a switch attached to the cord), it was too overpowering and I couldn't hear the treble. For me, being a guitar player, it was heart-breaking to be able to barely hear the guitar parts and solos to my favorite songs. But, when the subwoofers were off, the bass was almost nonexistent and the cans adopted a tinny noise.
I went to my next friend and he let me try on the HESH. The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the leather pads and headband and the fact that I couldn't hear a word of what he was saying. But that didn't matter, because when I turned on a song, I was treated with a nirvana of screeching guitar distortion, booming bass, thundering drums and mellow acoustics. For the remainder of a song, my friend was inaudible under the music. Not only do they have excellent quality, but they go LOUD. The HESH also look cool with sick silver skulls on the cups and band. The moment I got home I ordered a pair of the black ones.
If I had one complaint it was that the cups could not rotate 90 degrees, but then again, headphones aren't supposed to be heard by a party, thats what speakers are for.
All in all, these headphones are pretty sick. If your a bass afficianado or don't care about your treble, by all means, go with the Skullcandy SCS-SCM Skullcrusher Subwoofer Multimedia Headphones Black, but realize that you won't be able to hear Clapton playing his heart out in Sunshine of Your Love. Alternatively, if you can't stand the over-the-ear style of the HESH, go with the Skullcandy SC-SBB3.5 Smokin' Earbud Black.

Hopefully I helped you make your decision.

These are, by far, the best headphones I've ever owned/heard/seen/head of. All I've really used before were the cheap headphones and earbuds that came with the various CD players and iPods I've owned over the years. Those "stock" headphones weren't terrible, but I noticed lots of distortion at high volumes from all of them and none of them were comfortable. The Hesh headphones are above and beyond all of those. Not only are they super comfortable and light (when I first got the box in the mail, I thought they forgot to put them in the box cuz it was so light!), but they sound GREAT. The first song I listened to through them was "This Calling" by All That Remains at full volume...and WOW...the bass is low and full, the mids are tremendously punchy, and the highs come in loud and clear. If you close your eyes while listening through these headphones it feels like you're in the front row at a concert. Listening to some of my other favorite songs, I even noticed some notes and other parts of songs that I never noticed before. And, on top of all that, they just look awesome!

While these are the best headphones I've ever head, there is one small complaint. At low volumes, the sound seems to become distant slightly. But, at high volumes, the headphones almost force the sound into your ears, so maybe the distance I'm hearing is just the lack of awesome-ness at full volume. The sound cancellation (which these headphones are pretty good at) might also contribute to the feeling of the music being far away.

Minor, MINOR, complaint aside, the Hesh headphones from Skullcandy are an amazing product that not only delivers tremendous sound through a comfortable package, but also look incredibly cool while doing it. I have a good feeling that I'll be using these headphones happily for a long time to come.

This review is from: Skullcandy SC-BHESH07 Hesh Headphone, Black (Electronics)

I just purchased a Pintech electronic drum set and knew I need a good set of headphones. After reading many reviews and doing some research I went with the SkullCandy (was teetering between this and the AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-M30 Closed Back Dynamic Stereo Monitor Headphones.

After receiving them, I plugged them into my drum module and just loved the sound. Full, rich, clear and loud. Very comfortable.

My only complaint is that the cord is only 3 feet long or so, so if you're like me and using this for e-drumming or studio work, you'll want to pick up an extension cord as well.

Other than that, a great set of headphones.

One funny side-note: within the package is a stencil of the SkullCandy logo which they show some pictures on where to use it, and one of them is to spray paint it on your cat. Funny!
