Brilliant headphones but please watch out for outdated/duplicate ones!
Before I give my thoughts on the headphones, it is important for you to understand that one does not simply go and buy headphones online.1. You need to buy from the right retailer and double-check with the retailer whether they are original or not. Brandeyes is one of the retailers who sell original Skullcandy headphones. In the image you can see that they have given info about Brandeyes, also the original company (Skullcandy of course) and the modal number.2. Next important thing is that Skullcandy Hesh 2 Wireless has 3 different models that look exactly the same. The models are:Model: S6HBGY-374Model: S6HBHW-515Model: S6HBHY-516 (latest)The newest one is 516 (as of June 2017). The difference is that the charging port is below at the base of the headphones. Whilst the charging port for earlier models is at the top, in a very irritating place. No wonder Skullcandy changed the position in the newest model. So beware, read the specifications clearly before purchasing.3. When you turn on the headphones you hear a sound effect and when you connect you hear a woman say "Connected". This feature won't be there in duplicates.4. The headphones come with extra wires, a travel cloth and a USB charger. All should have the Skullcandy logo.5. Side note: The headphones say "Made in China" but originally that is where the headphones are manufactured. Again, I confirmed this with Brandeyes.Now to review the headphones:1. Crystal clear sound. I've been listening to them for 10 days now and some of the songs that I heard had musical notes which I had never noticed in my earlier headphones. Usually, normal/cheap headphones compress sounds but this is not the case. There is a perfect balance between bass and treble. I like my headphones to have sounds exactly like they are so moderate bass is my preference. If you like extreme bass, these may not be for you. But believe me, the sound is excellent. The only downside is that they sound even better when you attach the Aux wire to it (you can use this when the headphones run out of battery). I had bought these specifically cause they were wireless but at the moment no Bluetooth headphone is perfect as there is always some loss. But this is the best I have owned yet.2. As mentioned, the headphones come with Aux wire that you can use when battery runs out. Also there is a charging cable and the small travel bag is sexy, it perfectly fits everything.3. Skullcandy promises 15 hours battery. I used these headphones for a week, 2-3 hours everyday before they ran out of battery. You do the math! Charging it also takes less than 1 hour, so I almost never notice that. In contrast, my current headset that are around 1000/- take 2-3 hours to charge.4. On ear-headphones. Unless you have above average ears, these cover your ears completely. I was really surprised by this. This makes the experience even more comfortable.5. Take notice that these are not noise cancelling. Noise cancelling headphones have special equipment and they are expensive as hell. In quiet or normal office environments, this headphone's padding helps throw out almost all noise. But unfortunately not in crowd-filled or loud areas. But the padding does it's best at reducing as much noise as possible. At this price, this is what you'll get.6. They look beautiful! I actually wish I could buy the all black ones (These are black with silver coating) but that's okay. Would have loved it if all other varieties of this headphones were available here. I suggest you look for those if you are lucky enough to be in the US, there are multiple skins available.7. Even the box is beautiful. I have put it to display in our living room just to show-off.8. The whole thing looks sturdy so I believe they'll last for many years. A little worried how the padding will turn out as my previous ones padding have worn out.All in all, if you have 7000-8000 to spare, don't think twice. These are the best headphones at this price! I would also suggest having a look at Audio Technica if you have a bigger budget, they are currently regarded the best headphones in the market.

Best Headphones at this budget!!! Please read this review CAREFULLY
If you are looking for these features in headphones:* Great Sound Quality * No lags in Audio while watching Videos *Super Comfortable for wearing * Durable * Wireless * 3.5mm Jack Supported * MicrophoneThen you have to spend atleast Rs. 6000 for a headphone, if you are using cheaper than this, than that means you are buying other brand products like boAt , etc, which have latency and Lag in watching videos and bluetooth connectivity problems.So starting price of good headphones is Rs. 6000 and at this range you can get only two headphones in India which are SkullCandy Hesh 2 and JBL E55BT, so you can either choose one of these based on your liking. If you want active noise cancellation and even better bass then you gotta look for Sony Headphones 950 series. Sony 650 is not comfortable like these. And at this price range, trust me only JBL E55BT and SkullCandy Hesh 2 are the only choices.If you want to use wireless headphones with PC then the performance is not the best, best performance is with phone, if you want to use wireless headphones with a PC then you should buy a Gaming Headphone not a music headphone such as Skull Candy, you should go for Razer Kraken V2 , and it doesn't support bluetooth connectivity from phone, only PC because it needs a USB port.With phone the wireless headphones work great but for PC you need gaming headphones for best performance, I am not saying these head phones are not good with PC bluetooth, they are good, but better with phone. Overall rating to this product I would give 5 Stars because it is Value for Money at this price. You get a durable strong product.CONSThe led light keeps flashing blue light while connected and there is no way to turn off the light. It’s annoying when you are in dark room.

Good headphone
Thank-you Amazon for sending the item within two days of order.Really satisfied with the delivery time taken.As I received the headphone i was really very curious to listen songs.I opened the box and charged my headphone for at least 30 minutes.After that I listened the songs.Sound quality is pretty good.When I use auxiliary cable bass increases tremendously .without cable it is little bit low.Headphone covers the complete ear.I have been using it for last 3 days daily about 3-4 hours.Still bettery is showing full.Battery performance is pretty good.One disadvantage is that it's weight is 476gm which is little heavy.But overall i say good headphone.I bought it only in 3290rs.only.That's the key point that I paid only 3290Rs.It's pillow cuishon is very soft.No problem to ears or head rashes at all.Let's see how is it going for how much days??

Skullcandy hesh 2
These r good headphones fr this price.one thing is sound and the punch and the loudness is lil less in wireless mode.in wired mode it's because to get a good quality sound one has to own a good output device and I use a device whc has Dolby Atmos and believe me if u have a good output device fr sound then suerly go fr this headphones.in wired mode it's awesome if u have a good output device.its punchy,good vocal,treble,sharpness is also good and overall is good I love this product

Detailed review below, great sound, Easy to use, but not noise cancelling.
Update: October 2nd 2020It is still working and going strong - only issue is occasionally some people can’t hear me as clearly when answering calls but that isn’t an issue always. Battery life is amazing.. I haven’t broken this or had any issues. It’s been 10months. Wire works great for when I need to watch movies. Alhamdullilah. May even buy one for my little bro; he’s gone through 3/4 headphones, 1 was stolen other few broken.In Sha Allah it continues to stay working. Can’t recommend enough. 👍🏻Dec 29th 2019 : Came next day with Prime delivery. (Yes I am writing this two days later hopefully I don’t need to return with negative feedback)Difficult to open the box, packaged neatly in original SkullCandy box. Contains: Headphone; aux cable; charger wire; a skullcandy bag case for the headphone. (Didn’t know that came with it will be amazing to keep safe when not on head) Instructions and manual. (Which I didn’t look at)It was pre-charged. Just switch the button on, connects to bluetooth easily. However you have to always return to your settings to specifically choose the Hesh 2 in order to connect. Sometimes if you turn it on it will connect to any other bluetooth in the house. Mine connects to the bluetooth speaker downstairs that is originally connected to fire tv. Or the corridors bluetooth disco bulb. Talk about listening in on conversations.The headphone is wireless, also has a mic (I have tested) and can answer phone calls without touching my phone! Simply need to click the off button once. The caller can hear me clearly. Once finished with call it returns to your music, but slowly increases volume ( fades in ) so as to not kill your ears. Actually is kinda cool.As I said the distance range is amazing. I can go into most of the rest of the house with my phone on charge upstairs. It cuts off after going away from the staircase into Dining room / kitchen / back garden, however the living room directly under my bedroom it works perfectly.I’ve tested dancing with it and standing up excercises . It doesn’t have any issue withholding. Even bending forward. It’s has a snug fit on my head obviously resized to my smaller head, and the over ears is accurate - haven’t ached at all. My normal wired rasta hash headphones do eventually hurt my ears. They keep my ears warm. Earwax melting.I have not needed to use the aux cable as of yet - however I will test them with the headphones switched off to ensure they work, they DO! So does the charger - the charger wire is small, but can still play the song while charging... interesting.When connected to bluetooth it shows a little icon for the battery of the headphones next to phone battery icon at the top. The blue ON button light flashes, when bluetooth is connected. When it’s not connected it double flashes and after a while it powers off if not connected. In the dark the blue light is incredibly annoying, but Great battery saving. My phone also dims light etc when bluetooth is on. Is compatible with my Iphone 6s. (And other random bluetooths in the house lol)The sound I think is good, bass is ok its not too extra. Works with spotify (choose the wireless option) youtube instant connect. Its amazing for dancing and bopping.real talk.. it may not be bose, but these are pretty good neat better than the average wire earphones and better than my wired rasta hesh headphones.Theres a big plus and minus button on the side with the on button ,..very easy to feel buttons.. to turn the volume up or down. There is pure clarity in the sounds and voices. Even if someones calling from whatsapp, and discord. Wow. For me it’s like clear concise speakers in my head.People may be able to hear your music if its loud. I think the aux cable connection makes the sound way better. Not sure. Also they’re not really noise cancelling, but you can barely hear yourself sing when music is playing. Not noise cancelling at all.Even though these are a way older release - I hope and I think I can trust skullcandys. The headband is bendy, like my previous, which to me is a good sign they wont break or snap randomly. Not foldable, just bendy ish, gives it an elasticity if you have a big head. Also when they’re on my head the ear cups do come out far from either side so you may look weird and alien. Just an FYI.Other than that .. theres no negatives from me yet. In Sha Allah (god willing) this one lasts. (I have an issue with wires.. I break them a lot.) great price, cheaper than the skullcandy website, maybe cos without warranty.Seems good.

Pros - wireless! Bass! MORE BASS! Cons - ...ow.
Bought these rather than going for a more expensive set of Sony headphones after owning a pretty good pair of in-ear Skullcandy 'phones, and I don't regret it at all. I listen to a wide range of music (a capella, rock, metal, EDM, soundtracks, pop) and the sound is really good, plenty of bass, and the way the leather padding sucks to your ears like a pair of hungry limpets means that there's an element of noise cancelling as well. The bluetooth connection holds pretty well and is simple to set up. The volume buttons on the headphones are easy to distinguish without looking, I keep losing the power button, but that's me.Reasons for the dropped star - they're more on-ear than over-ear, and the weight of them causes the headband to dig into your head after prolonged listening.Edit: Two years after buying these, it sounds as though the headphone speaker has become detached from the inside, so it rattles about a bit. Hasn't changed the sound quality!

Excelentes audifonos en relación precio/calidad
PROS:La duración de la batería es increible, los uso diariamente de camino al trabajo y del trabajo a la casa y los he cargado una vez al mes.Las almohadillas no se pelan y no te calientan la oreja como otras marcasEl control de volumen, parar/reproducir, atras/adelante, contestar llamada, es excelente.Se empareja rapidisimo con cualquier celularEl precio al que los compré <$700 pesos es lo mejor!!!!La calidad del audio es suprema, no extraño por nada a unos bose que tenia.CONTRAS:El puerto para cargarlos está en un lugar muy incomodo, tienes que mover a un lado la orejera para alcanzar el conector que está oculto por el movimiento que tiene la orejera para acomodarse a tu cabeza. Creo que en la nueva versión ya lo pusieron visible y alcanzable. (DEJO IMAGEN)La bolsita que te dan para guardarlos es muy sencilla, pero bueno. No todo iba a ser perfecto y tiene solución comprando una.

Do not buy
I have really tried to find the positives in this product but have reached the end of my tether.Let’s start with the few positives:The treble sounds are actually quite nice.And that’s where it ends. If you’re after something that lives up to the powerful bass this product claims to have then avoid. The bass is pretty much non existent. There is no power at all in these headphones. Which leads to my next point...Another claim is the noise cancelling qualities. Again, non existent. I bought these because I needed wireless headphones for the gym where I don’t want the music on the PA to interfere with mine. Nope. I can hear EVERYTHING. All background noise. The claim is false.And lastly... the Bluetooth function. Well, this seems to constantly cut out. It doesn’t matter if they’re in my pocket, or or in my hand. And forget about the gym. At one point I was so frustrated that I had to take them off altogether because it just can’t hold a connection which defeats the purpose of having a wireless device.Don’t fall the marketing ploys and buy something else.
