I think they're great. The only difference I noticed is the band allows a bit of moisture to accumulate within the fitbit pocket.

I have owned these headphones for over a year, and I feel that I can give a relatively accurate review of them.

I'll start off with the good.
These headphones sound great! I listen to mostly electronic music, some rock and some pop, and it all sounded great in these cans. The Crystal Method, Daft Punk, Justice, all sound amazing, and I'm using a little sandisk sansa mp3 player. The Hesh do have a bit of what I can only describe as an echo, It is a very subtle effect and most of my friends can't tell. I actually like the effect, they sound "roomy". They have great bass, owing to the sealed design and 50mm drivers. I never noticed the bass distorting the mids or highs either, which I was impressed by. (disclaimer: I am by no means an audiophile, this is just my personal opinion)

I like the tight fit because I don't have to worry about jumping around and my headphones falling off. I did not find them to be uncomfortable though, I could use them for about 4 hours before it got uncomfortable. I use these walking back and forth to classes, and riding my bike, and they are great, but they are a bit awkward to wear around the neck, since the ear cups don't fold down they hit the bottom of my chin. I think these look great, I like the style and the fit, the headband is comfortable and solid. They do tend to creak as you move, it didn't bother me but my girlfriend couldn't stand it.

Now the bad.
I have gone through three pairs of these headphones, and I take good care of my things. The pressure these exert on your head is just too much for the plastic to handle. For me, they always break at the thin strip that slides into the headband, the headband adjuster. They just snap in half. I do not know a single person who has owned Hesh headphones for more than a couple months and NOT had them break in half. I saw a girl with a pair the other day, so I thought I would warn her that they were likely to break. She calmly informed me that this was in fact her fourth pair. Fortunately Skullcandy has a lifetime warranty on their products, so you can just ship them back for a few bucks and they will send you new ones, but is it really worth it? I cannot stand always knowing that my headphones will break in half in the near future. I get close to a pair of headphones, they go everywhere I go, and I have a special bond with them. If the Hesh didn't break constantly I would still be carrying them with me everywhere I go, but I can't fall in love with something I can't rely on.

I bought some Ultrasone HFI-550's earlier today and I can't wait to get them and fall in love with some new cans. When Skullcandy sends me my newest pair of Hesh I'm going to sell them and get out of this vicious cycle.

Some people don't seem to mind replacing them now and again, but for me it ruins the experience.

I hope this helped you make your decision, I really think it boils down to if you mind shipping them to Skullcandy to be replaced every so often, because you won't find a better headphone for anywhere near this price range.

This band is awesome. I was half expecting some cheap knock-off piece of garbage, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure if it is a knock off or not but it certainly doesn't seem like one! I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Well got them today. I was initially blown off my feat with the bass, mid-range, treble, detail, instrument separation and sound-stage. The loudness is also sufficient, thanks to its high sensitivity of 114 db. My iphone was able to generate sufficient volume that I can't hear anything around me and had to reduce the volume to communicate. I noticed just a little coloring in the treble but still it's very detailed and crisp. After using it for several hours my impressions changed significantly. The mid-range is a bit recessed for my liking. All the songs are sounding too sweet. Some songs are supposed to be in your face. I didn't get that brashness with any songs. So, that isn't honest music reproduction. Treble, I still say it is crisp and detailed with just a little coloring. The biggest put-off is the bass. It is very bass heavy. I don't know all the technical jargon but get my drift - the bass decay takes a long while because of which the bass, the voices and other instruments kind of tremble/quiver/shiver until that bass beat expires. I just don't know how else to describe what I'm hearing regarding the bass. It's such a shame that a headphone that sounds so sweet in all the other frequencies should have such a lengthy bass decay that that bass and the other frequencies that are produced are 'shivering'. I still want to give the benefit of doubt to Sennheiser and I'm going to order one more headphone and see if that one also suffers from the same problem. If the problem is there in both the headphones, then they both are going back to Amazon. Sennheiser engineers can do something about this bass 'heaviness', lengthy bass 'decay' and the resultant 'shivering' of bass and other frequencies. For now I'm disappointed. I shall edit my review as and when I receive the other set. Isolation of ambient noise is very impressive. You still can hear lot of stuff going around you but the isolation is really good for such a small size headphones. They are very comfortable even with my spectacles. I used it for well over 5 hours at a stretch - no ear-pain or ears getting heated-up. I still wouldn't recommend it. Not yet.

So they sound awesome, no doubt there. And they don't tangle! Which is what's advertised, and why I got them. And the glow is really cool. My only complaint is about the small amount of "extra noise" you hear if you move around too much. I've found the best way to cancel this out is to zip up the zipper about halfway. I don't think I would use these headphones while running, but if you're like me and just need something while walking around or sitting at a desk they're perfect and awesome.

I got these in 2012 and they don't look a day older today in 2018.  Apparently they are built to last! They really aren't much to look at in my opinion, but that matters very little to me.  They also feel a little bit cheap, but they don't act cheap! They sound great to me.  I have never owned any other headphones, but now I am trying out various wireless headphones because I am sick of the cord, but it's been hard to beat the sound of these (at that time) $25 headphones.  They isolate pretty well and create a clear and immersive aural experience that leaves an impression.  Man, I am going to go wear them right now.
While I am sick of cords in general, I can't really fault these for having one, as I knew what I was getting.  Yes the cord is super long, but it's fine as far as I know; I haven't really used any others.  Lastly, they aren't the most comfortable to wear.  For me they are very much ON ear and they get uncomfortable fairly quickly, but it's bearable.  They apparently go completely over my wife's tiny ears.  Makes me wish I had her small ears.  They have an appropriate amount of clamp so as to keep them safely on my head doing various activities, which I appreciate; I think I just have really sensitive ears.  They have always been comfortable on the top of my head.  In the end, these headphones have been quite good to me over the years.

Pro's- they look great, sound quality is awesome, plug and play, high quality microphone.
Con's- little heavy, (i like metal) so i wish they got just a little bit louder.

Overall i would suggest them to any of my friends who are into gaming and music.

These bands are great! I can change the color of my band to match my outfit everyday if I want. I love all of the shades of bands, the colors are just a hair different in person than they are on this posting, they are more of a regular color than a bright neon color.

This was exactly what I ore\dered. The band is a tyni bit too short (may be one link) but I can live with it.

They are great, came in time, in great conditions, nice package, they actually glow a lot in the dark (that's just too cool). They sound awesome, great basses, with a distinctive boom and clear highs, I had to change the pair of medium size silicones to the biggest ones to get the best sound, and it's great man. The only trouble i had it's that within a few weeks of use, if you move a little bit the 3.5 cable plug walking or something, the left one doesn't sound quite right, and sometimes doesn't sound at all. Which I didn't expect of "Earbuds that survive your lifestyle: Military-Grade fibers for lasting durability".
Ignoring that, they are great, a must buy. People really compliment for them, for the style, the zipper, and the glow in the dark.
A must buy, they really worth it.

Just bought this band and I will say that I was very skeptical at first.  Now that I have it I am very pleased and the quality and product is great!  beats spending $150..

So I got the red and black ones and I have to say they look pretty slick, as well as pretty good audio quality especially when they compare to the Shure SM 215's ($100) I use for in ear monitors for the band I'm in! These are a little weird to get into your ear I was already decent at it because I was used to how you put them in due to the SM 215's because they fit in the same way. The reason I bought these were, they were for running which I don't want to use those other headphones for, they look and for that price you can't go wrong!!. The only negative I have for these i when I was running on a treadmill a metal extension that comes with it to keep your case from jacking your cable it didn't hold it in there very well and so I could only hear one side of the audio but I've figured out ways around that so all in all these are pretty solid headphones, you should stop reading this and go click buy with one click!

Yep, they're more comfortable. But after doing a quick A/B test by rapidly changing them out for the originals, I'm in the camp saying they radically change the sound for the worse. I tested them by listening to some songs by Bakithi Kumalo from the album In Front of My Eyes. He's a bassist, and so these are high quality modern recordings with special attention to the bass sounds as well as highs from various percussion instruments.

It's night and day. Like others report, a muddy-ish bass and mid, and total lack of clarity and cut in the highs. My theory: it's NOT mostly due to the thin piece of material in the centers. Rather, it's because the leatherette donuts absorb the high frequencies and accentuate lower ones.

Of course you could hear some pieces of Joy Div, Sisters, Psych Furs or DM, but I think that they have their own specific sound and it's good to have a new band of this type. They did a great job for their first album, it's really mature, the lyrics are pretty creative. I am looking forward for their second album I think I'm going to order as soon as available with no questions.

This is a really good album and seems to be a bit different then the rest. In no way is that bad. Like all great bands, these guys don't seem to be interested in repeating themselves. That being said they do have a very unique sound and are able to keep listeners aware that they do have something that defiantly makes them them.
