Skullcandy Hesh: Big is Better
The headphones in query look like a behemoth compared to your classic Skullcandy earphones or the little Lowrider line of earphones, but is bigger better in this case? Well, the Skullcandy Hesh is pretty favored for its price and style, and its decent sound quality doesn’t hurt its reputation either. Let’s have a look at what these earphones from Skullcandy have to give.
Larger = Louder
The headphones has the hardware to pump out the volume: 50 mm neodymium iron ferrous (NdFeB) magnet power drivers. Among the loudest in the headphone lines, the Hesh line’s dome-shaped earcups also have a hand in magnifying the sound output. The Hesh also includes a frequency range that includes a range from 20 to 20,000 Hz, an impedance of 32 Ohms, and a max input power of 100 mW. According to tech and client reviews, the Skull candy Hesh actually retains its sound quality even at high volume levels (though it’s not a good idea to crank it up to full volume as you’ll hurt your hearing). Also, the frequency range on the Hesh is about average, so these earphones will play your music just fine regardless of genre.
Options
The Hesh line has a pretty familiar look with its dome earcups and densely padded headband, and like most Skullcandy lines, the Hesh is available in a good range of designs. It’s easy to get one that’s got a easy color design, or select among the NBA and Paul Frank designs. The Skullcandy Hesh also comes with or without an in line mic. The NBA, collegiate teams, and Paul Frank Hesh models come with the in line mic feature, while the basic ones do not.
Extra Notes
Like most Skullcandy earphones, the Skullcandy Hesh has a gold-plated 3.5 mm jack and is made with a moulded plastic frame padded in leather and cloth. The gold plating on the plug allows for better conduction and can shield it from oxidization while the plastic frame gives the earphones more adaptability. The leather and cloth cushions give users enough padding for snug use. Skullcandy Hesh earphones alter in price, though they are customarily under US$ 60.
Some Skullcandy Hesh reviews note though the headphones do leak sound a little and do not completely block out background noise. But these cons are easily outweighed by the decent sound quality and the cost that these earphones have to give.
