Waited for bluetooth headphones this good.
Update: Still feel the same 2+ years later. Holding up great, still charges well. Anyone else not impressed by Beats or their prices? Bought some beats and now want wireless? Lost or broke your existing headphones? These are your headphones. You can pick them up for around $100 most of the time vs the Beats bluetooth for around $350. I bought these at a brick and mortar because Amazon didn't have these headphones when they first came out, and I searched. Sorry Amazon :) If you have heard the Skullcandy Aviators, then you know the kind of headphones this company can make. The Hesh sound like bluetooth versions of the Aviators to me. Pros: Sound Range Passive Noise Cancelling (not active but does well enough for use during mowing and yard work) Connectivity (I have a lot of issues with my Plantronics earbuds with staying connected or re-connecting, these are great) Controls on the right ear cup are usable and function reliably Volume up and down are in fact volume up and down (also fwd and back for audio if you hold the button longer than a tap) Comfort (I wear these for 4 hour stints with no issues, this beats out my old Sony wired headset) Battery life is good, no problems yet, haven't had them turn off as I charge each night Nice charging port on top of the left ear cup (behind the arm) Will play while it's charging, not a standard feature in this genre Materials/feel/design is all very modern and pleasing Cons: Not as loud on Bluetooth (using the cable isn't terrible and boots the sound noticeably) They don't fold for storage or travel Fabric covering the drivers seems to be loose after just a few uses No easy way to check battery level with any accuracy (offers flashing LED response but only when battery is low, give me a 100/75/50/25/10% check voice or LED) Overall these are amazing headphones and I couldn't be happier that I didn't fall in to the Beats trap. I shopped, listened and waited for the right thing. These look and sound right. I listen to a little of everything and this handles it all cleanly. Great for anyone who loves music, podcasts, audiobooks, or just watching some video on your phone/laptop/tablet. These even pair nicely with my Dish Network Hopper so that I can watch loud action movies/tv shows at a good volume while my 22 month old daughter sleeps. I'll be taking these on a business trip next month and wont have to worry about looking like a kid with bright colored crazy headphones (I'm in my mid 30's) Skullcandy does offer the crazy colors if you want that too. I've had these just over a month and will update with more info.
