Design and features:This Bluetooth wireless home/studio-style over-ear models , although it lacks active noise reduction, the closed design helps to reduce both outside noise and sound leaking out into your environment.
Additional features:Has integrated volume control, microphone, and call connect/disconnect control. Skullcandy app download for Apple and Android mobile devices adds additional features and software updates.
Sound quality:We found the Hesh 360 delivers sound quality that falls in the acceptable range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The
bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has decent impact and doesn't goes deep and is a bit subdued and somewhat boomy. The
midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but is a bit congested (think sonic traffic jam), hazy and grainy. The
treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but somewhat prominient, sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying) and smeared. While the sound has a decent sense of liveliness, it is somewhat closed (sound-wise it's fairly obvious you have something plugging your ears). Mixed character; neutral bass and midrange and coolish treble. The overall sound can best be summarized as somewhat boomy and sizzly. The tone settings of the app do have a noticeable effect on the sound of these headphones.
Comfort and Fit:There is a sense of moderate pressure around the ears. As typical of over-ear models the ear pads might feel hot and/or sticky after prolonged use.
Large
Users with larger heads might find that the headband does not have enough adjustment range to allow the ear cups to rest properly over the ears and/or that the headband presses uncomfortably on the top of the head.
Users with larger ears might find that the over-the-ear fit of the ear pads feel cramped, or that the ear pads sit on, rather than around their ears; in that case the less-than-ideal fit around the ears might interfere with the ear pad seal and reduce the bass response and/or noise reduction capabilities of the headphone.
Stability
Some users may find that when they lean far forward the headphones feel unstable and shift forward.
When wearing this model while walking the muffled vibrations from each foot step can be heard slightly through the headphones regardless of whether or not the headphones are in noise cancelling mode.
When the audio cord is used the sound of it rubbing on clothing may be faintly heard through the headphones.
