After spending 3 years using cheap in ear earphones, i decided to upgrade to some good sounding over ear headphones, which cost a little more. After reading a few reviews i decided to purchase the skullcandy hesh headphones which i bought for a reasonable price of amazon, who had a huge selection. n my search for new headphones, i was looking for good sound, and good sound is what i got with the skullcandy hesh. They are unbelievably loud, and usually, with loud speakers, you get distortion, but the hesh sounded great even when played loudly. Apart from the great sound, the other reason i bought the Hesh is because of the style. Skullcandy are known for creating good looking products, and the hesh are no exception. They look great, both on and off of my head. The size of the headphones accommodate heads from the smallest to the largest. the only downfall with the skullcandy hesh is the durability of them. I owned my Hesh for 3 months before they broke, when the plastic (which is pretty cheap) snapped off and exposed all the wires underneath. Although its not good for a pair of headphones to break on you, Skullcandy do offer lifetime warranty on all products, so if yours do break you can easily get a refund or another pair. Overall, they are loud, quality, good looking headphones, but if you are heavy handed in anyway and tend to break things easily, then i would not recommend these headphones to you, as they do break pretty easily.
