I bought these in may, 2017, and wear them roughly every day at work. I probably charge them twice a week, and the battery lasts me 2.5-3 days on average. For on-ear headphones, I think these are splendid. They are light enough and comfortable. I use them a lot for teleconferences and calls, and people hear me fine. As well, as on-ear headphones normally do, these will leak a bit if your music is loud. They muffle sounds around you but of course are not completely noise canceling.
I do have to turn them on and off sometimes because they won’t pair with a second device. Sometimes I need to turn off my phone’s Bluetooth to connect them to my mac, for instance. I can’t say much about range because I never measured. Walls will affect the connection, but they are fine on an open layout.
All in all, they look sleek, I love the tan/black combination and I have no complaints about these headphones. The included cable is handy (as you can use it when the battery is gone) but doesn’t have a mic, so your mic will not work when connected to the cable. You can get a replacement cable with mics and those will work fine. Noteworthy that the wireless connection is not compatible with a PS4(that’s sony’s fault though), so you need a replacement cable with a mic to use them connected to your controller for gaming.
I paid ~60, which is a fantastic price. Even for a bit more, these are a great buy.

LOS MEJORES AURICULARES DIADEMA QUE PUEDES COMPRAR SI LLEVAS GAFAS
Los adquirà por unos 40-50€ y la verdad es que son tremendos
Audio bueno
BaterÃa mejor aún
Lo que no tiene es mucha insonorización pero subes el volumen y arreglado
Los volverÃa a comprar sin duda

Love these headphones. I got them about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. While I’m not a headphones aficionado, I am a self-proclaimed music one- these headphones do a fantastic job of picking up most it not all ranges in the variety of music I listen to.
They aren’t noise-canceling, so if you want those, I’d recommend the Hesh flavor. Paired to my Bluetooth very quickly. Bass is impressive, for the price. There’s no grittiness or ‘noise’ with these- very clear audio especially for a Bluetooth-enabled set. The ear pads are very comfortable, although my ears do get sore after prolonged wear- which has been about four hours at most.
Skull candy is far too underrated. Loyal buyer in me from now on. I’m super impressed.

Gran calidad de sonido! El material es resistente y elegante modelo. La pila es lo mejor ya que lo uso mas de 10hrs sin cagarlo! Altamente recomendados, lo unico malo es que no te indiga el porsentaje de pila que le queda

I bought these for my daughter’s birthday. They were very easy to set up, connected within moments. The sound quality on them is excellent and the battery lasts for a long time before needing a recharge. Might have to buy myself a pair!

These are the perfect workhorse headphones. When I’m listening to music/podcasts, I don’t like wearing earbuds cause they’re not clearly visible, and then I feel like a jerk if I accidentally ignore someone. I want people to know I’m wearing headphones, so they get my attention if they need to ask me something. These headphones do the trick, and mine are bright blue and flashy. These are also perfect for the gym. I again prefer headphones to Bluetooth earbuds in the gym because the headband keeps any wires away from your neck and back when you’re squatting with a barbell.
I describe the sound quality of these as, “good enough”. The only reason to ask for better sound quality is if your profession requires you to listen to every detail, like a sound engineer or video editor. Don’t get me wrong, I have other headphones with crystal clear audio, but I keep those at home. They’re too expensive to risk them being damaged at work or at the gym. I don’t have to worry about these being damaged, because not only are they super sturdy, but they’re also inexpensive and therefore easy to replace.
Lastly, these phones are ridiculously aesthetic. Such a joy to listen to and wear.
In my opinion, everyone needs a pair of these headphones

To summarize before I even start, these are excellent bluetooth headphones at a sweet-spot price point of under $80. Buy them. DO IT!
I was leery of purchasing Skullcandy headphones because I haven’t been a fan of the sound or build quality of wired Skullcandy headset that I’ve owned in the past. However I took a chance on these because I wasn’t finding anything with the same minimal design and generally high review quality. I’m very glad I did. Out of the box the headset paired easily and quickly with my iPhone and Mac and the sound quality–the most important factor here let’s be real–is fantastic. Music is clear, sharp and the tonal quality is rich from lows, highs and midtones. Artists with rich and complexly layered instrumentals like the Glass Animals or Sylvan Esso sound as beautiful as they should. Bass and drum heavy anthemic or electronic musicians like Imagine Dragons or Knife Party sound mostly as epic and thunderous as they should. Electronic music sounds EXCELLENT. The bass is not **incredible**, but it is distinct and strong and doesn’t drown out other instrumentals or vice versa, which is the way I personally prefer it. Overall, I’m hearing clear distinct sound with inclusion of any binaural elements the music or sound was designed to include.
The reason for the loss of a star in this review is the sound leak. If you turn your volume up high enough, your jams will be audible, albeit on a low scale and quite muffled. And if you have them around your neck, your musical choices will definitely be somewhat on public display. I was warned of this quality in another review, but now that I own a pair, I can personally live with this level of sound leak–which is not dealbreaking–since I don’t play music super loudly in my ears.
Aesthetically, which is the second main reason I purchased these, this headset looks great. I have the tan version, and the faux leather band is a nice sophisticated accent for the aluminum and matte plastic. The set is not bulky and huge like many wireless sets, and fits snugly and comfortably both over my head and loosely around my neck. I wanted to have a set that wouldn’t attract too much attention in public and that could fit nicely under a scarf or hat, and these are just right for those purposes. The snug fit does seem like it might get a little annoying after a few hours with these on, but I don’t plan to wear them for more than an hour straight and the cups at this time are delightfully plush on my ears. Those with larger ears *might* find these somewhat small, but perhaps not.
I’m super happy with these cans and look forward to getting lots of on the road use out of them.

Happy with being able to find these headphones no longer sold by SkullCandy. Very sturdy headband that does not break (unlike every other headphone made by SkullCandy these days).
