SkullcandySesh ANC Active Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Headphones, Noise Cancelling, Up to 48 Hours Battery, Stabilizing Fit Grip, Sweat and Waterproof, Microphone for iPhone Android - Black/Orange

This is my second pair of Skull Candy earbuds. I love the noise canceling. Skull Candy is easy to use. The battery life is long.

I've had these for like 5 months and use them daily. I have tried a lot of wireless headphones before, from like $20 ones and to AirPods Pro. I am kind of picky and know what I want and honestly, I love these.Pros:- Battery life is awesome. I charge the case like once a week and the case keeps the earbuds charged even with daily use. They charge quickly in the case and last a long time when used (they last for hours, I don't know exactly how long because they haven't died on me yet). This was such a nice change after having my AirPods constantly dying on me.- Noise cancellation is great. TBH it's sometimes a little too good and I have to turn it off while at work because I can't hear when people call me.- They stay in my ears and don't fall out. I have had a lot of problems with earbuds falling out when I'm like cleaning the house or moving a lot, but don't have that problem with these.- App was easy to use and get setup and I was able to customize the controls for noise cancellation and forwarding and reversing, etc really easily.- Tile tracking is easy and really useful. I remember it being easy to setup when I first got them. I've never lost them in public but couldn't find them in my own house and was able to use the Tile app to make them play a noise and was able to find them quickly (my mom was jealous because she is constantly losing her AirPods around the house).Cons:- They can be annoying to switch between devices. I am constantly switching them being connected between a MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. When I first got them switching between devices was difficult and frustrating, but I figured out the quirks and now it's really easy. Basically, if you haven't connected to a device before you have to turn the bluetooth off on any other devices you have connected to in range and then it'll automatically prompt you to connect to the new device. If you are switching between devices you have connected before, as soon as you take them out of the case if you click on them from your bluetooth menu it will connect to that device - no matter what device it was last connected to. I hope that makes sense..... It's convoluted but works great not that I have a system.I tried these because I used normal old-fashioned Skullcandy headphones in middle school and high school in the early 2010s. I remember liking them then but had never thought of them as a wireless earbud company (nor realized they still existed). I bought my dad a different Skullcandy wireless earbud for Christmas that he likes and decided in January when my AirPods broke to try a set myself. Glad I did!

I've had them for about 5 months now and they're pretty good but have some annoying issues.Pros:Good sound. I get clear audio, decent mix of highs and lows without any crackle.Comfortable. Don't leave my ear canals sore after a few hours like some other buds I've had in the past.Good battery life. I haven't had them give a low battery warning or shut off yet, even after 4+ hours of use, so pretty good battery I'd say.Cons:Inconsistent pairing. A little less than 5% of the time, only the right or left will pair. Have to put them in the case to reset them and try again. Not a big deal but still irritating.Noise cancelling but not really. I use these at work, on breaks and I can still hear a lot of outside sound even with the active noise cancelling turned on.Gave them 4 stars, high marks for the sound, comfort and battery life but minus 1 star for the times I have to put them back in the case again and again to get sound in both ears.

***EDIT: connected to my phone in the other room, I tested the distance away from the device to see if there was any connectivity or latency issues. None, I’m talking 3 Camaro RS lengths if not more and no issues.Goodbye wired xbox headsetOG REVIEWI saw a sale going on at my local meijer on these things, checked Amazon and I saw it was cheaper. No brainer right?Buying these I had no idea the versatility you have with these! You can turn off the noise-cancellation, turn it back on, then there’s an aware mode.What else I like about them is when you want to pause your music or turn the volume up or down- depending how long you press and hold down either button on either earbud determines the function, it has its own timer and beeps/sort of vibrates to let you know it’s understanding you and your input instead of you doing something expecting a result and it does a completely different function- which is nice. Pressing on the buttons while using them does NOT hurt your ear either; the silicon buds provide enough shock absorption you won’t hardly feel anything.You can use it to answer calls too, and the call quality may not be as crisp as the new air pods, BUT it has a longer battery life. Take that as you will.Now these are also Skullcandy- they aren’t some Sony or Audio Technica studio level audio quality. These are “go for a walk/run/gym session” or traveling headphones for the road or airport level quality.I’m a fan of Skullcandy too. I have a wired pair that I used back in 2010-2011 that had lasted me since then and other bluetooth ear pieces I’ve used the battery didn’t last long as I liked or their touch sensitive gestures didn’t read my input right, eq was unbalanced or not enough bass. I wanted those rich mids with complimentary highs with just the right treble and balanced bass. I wanted the same level of quality or better from earbuds as I had experienced with my old wired Skullcandy’s without…buying Skullcandy’s… until this time around I bit the bullet 😂If it still delivers, don’t go looking for another brand and disrespect yourself. Make the investment, you won’t regret it.Connectivity isn’t much of an issue either. There’s a couple steps to follow if you want to pair it to a new device like anything else; other than that no complaints. Just disconnect it from your first device and treat it as a new connection (as described in the directions) and it should work just fine

Item works correctly for about three weeks. Then the ear buds will be placed in their case to charge, or so you think, and they just stay on. While inside the case. Not charging.So then I have to deactivate Bluetooth on all my devices they’re connected to so I can hear my media. But also so they can charge. Because if you don’t do all that you get to work and they tell you they’re at 20%.0/5 if I could. Reversing the charge on my credit card too. Connectivity sucks.
