Apple AirPods Max vs Skullcandy Hesh Evo

>The Apple AirPods Pro's bass accuracy is excellent. Thanks to their closed-back design, they don't have low-bass issues like the [Apple AirPods 1 Truly Wireless and [Apple AirPods 2 Truly Wireless 2019](https://www

The sound stage is like nothing I expected and blew me out of the water. For just around $150, this set up was amazing.

But yeah, it's these, the AirPods Max, which are just very, very expensive headphones. In fact, they're double the price of most really good noise can...

The noise cancelling is good, but there's definitely a reason. The batteries don't last more than 2 days, even if I turn it off. If I fall asleep with just the noise cancelling on and nothing playing it runs out in a day. Cheaper chinese brand NC headphones have definitely last longer, though the noise cancelling is definitely inferior

The earcups create a good seal around your ear which I have had issues with when trying Beats and Bose. The sound quality is amazing, on par with Sony and Bose, very crisp even up to loud volume and these do get loud. In terms of comfort, theyre great. At first, they may seem a bit tight at first but you get used to it after a couple of hours

Summary: All the pros (comfort, not having to pair with an app, accessible button controls, lightweight) were negated by the chirps I heard while the anc was on. To me, that is not worth $130.

You can search for hours online to find workarounds but half or more of what people suggest doesn’t work. Meanwhile Apple knows all of this and basically gives us the old high hat if we are willing to buy products that compel us to buy only their other products to make them work. Connecting instantly to my iPhone when picked up or put on rather than having to use a typical Bluetooth prompt to accept a connection is not worth enslaving myself just to show aluminum on my ears. I am boxing these up even though they arrived earlier today

The box arrived with a little damage but the headphones were fine. The controls on the right ear make it easy to turn them on and pair with a device, answer the phone, skip or repeat songs or say something to your voice assistant (Google). I haven't tried them on an airplane yet, they didn't arrive in time for my trip in December, but I will update this review after my next trip.

First, whereas the headphones still fit like they were brand new, I'd hope for some relief on the hard clamping aspect present in them. When I first wore them, I was finding the clamping done by the headphones very tight and threatening to give me a headache if I wore them too long since it was like a vise on my head. This has lessened slightly over time, but it is still very tight. I don't know of a fix for this outside of constant wear to try and get them to bend a flex to a less tight shape on my dome, but so far they still hurt a bit when wearing them for an extended time

The Skullcandy Hesh Evo is a cool-looking pair of over-ear wireless headphones. For $99.99, you get a supremely comfortable fit and a bass-forward experience, but not much else. There’s no app, no active noise cancellation, no exercise-focused features

Love how you can customize the ear pads and head pad. Great sound quality, works great with Apple devices and noise cancellation is awesome. The bad part is just the price.

Price: I got these when they were on sale for $80, instead of the usual $133. For $80, totally worth it. But I don't know if these are worth over $100. THEY ARE NOT WATER PROOF, as I learned and had to get a replacement, btw SkullCandy did an amazing job when it comes to replacing/refunding their products

Neutral: - lots of people made a big deal about no power off button and talk about it just “draining battery” unless you put it in the case. I tested this a lot, and it seems Apple is accurate when they say it goes to low power mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Losing about 1% every couple of hours. Essentially losing 5% when left without a case overnight

When those eventually broke (2.5 years later) I was planning on replacing with the same, bet read the reviews for the Evo and decided to give these a try. The ONLY positive is longer battery life, while there are several negatives. First- the overall volume is noticeably less

I use these headphones for 30-45min/day jogging and walking. However, I have performed the following “routine” to minimize any possible damage. 1) Purchase AppleCare+. This allows customers to request two “accidental-damage” replacements every year for a $29 accident fee each time

i will mostly use for music and online classes, so durable and good mic quality preferable.
