I love how simple these headphones are, many complain that they don't link up to the Skullcandy app. Which suits me fine because I prefer something simpler. Everything you need is on-board on the right side, they come with an auxiliary cable so you can hook up without using bluetooth, the only complaint I have is that the charging cable is extremely short. And maybe they do squeeze the head a little more than some because of the band that's used, but it should work out over time because it is flexible metal, not plastic which would never adapt just break. No pouch is included like older reviews refer to, they've been eliminated to cut down on costs (confirmed with Skullcandy directly) so you might get one if you happen to get an older stock pair. The ANC leaves a little to be desired but it works, it's just not as adaptive as other headphones I've had in the past for like sudden disturbances like wjen something drops to the floor or when someone blurts out your name. For anyone looking for simple, wireless headphones with some active noise canceling capability these are good bet. They do really have decent battery life, and the fast charge as well. You get decent bang for the buck with these. I should also mention that customer service is easily reachable, they've responded to my emails and I've also been able to get a hold of someone through their online chat for any questions that I had even before I purchased them.

I bought these headphones in November of 2023. By the second week of December ‘23, one of the ear cushions completely fell off. I placed it in an empty tote bag and put it on the floor of an airplane for take off. When I took them out a few moments later, the cushion was no longer attached to the headphone. Perfect condition to missing a cushion in less than 5 minutes of sitting on the floor in a bag. I had to pin the cushion between the speaker and my ear to keep it in place. Annoying, but fine, whatever, kept using them. A few months later, in April ‘24, the second cushion fell off. I still kept using them, just pinning the cushions in place in order to listen.
Now, about 18 months after purchasing, the battery has gone from lasting 8+ hours on moderate volume, per full charge, to lasting less than 3 hours on low volume at full charge. The sound quality has also gone down, with constant crinkling noises or skipping.
I wear my headphones daily, but do not exercise in them, take care to avoid dropping them, keep them away from water and humidity, and store them either folded up neatly in my backpack or on my desk. Aside from a few hours of daily use, I’m really not putting them through a lot. I hoped that the cushions where a fluke and I was willing to put up with the inconvenience in order to enjoy the otherwise good sound and battery life. Now, those are both gone.
I regret buying these and wish I had gone for a brand that makes headphones that actually stay in one piece.
