Loud and perfect
These are amazing! The sound is clear, and the bass is perfect! The noise cancelation feature is amazing sometimes i use them as ear plugs when working because I don't like stuff in my ears.

Finally a sweat resistant pair of headphones
Got these for working out because I was tired of earbuds falling out of my ears. These are definitely sweat proof and fit nicely on the ears. I left these things in the rain by accident and they still worked no problem the day after. They hold a charge for a long time; I’ve only charged them 1 time after having them for a couple of months

Good headphones
These are a solid set of headphones that can take abuse from daily use.

Don’t waste your money, or time.
After about 4 years, and officially losing one of my Beats fit pro earbuds- I decided to just venture out and try something new all together. I’ve used Skullcandy earbuds back in my high school days, and they were always one of the best imo (back then, idk about now lol). Now I knew this item in particular wasn’t even going to compare with beats brand, but I wanted something cheaper and decent to have, until I have enough spending money to get better ones. This was my first headphone purchase with them. I decided to go with Skullcandy, since it’s a familiar brand that I’ve trusted. Although, I’ve only had their earbuds, and it’s been years. Sad to say, I am highly disappointed. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS! The product is super overpriced for the performance, and quality of said product. The ANC is a joke! Literally a hair of a difference between awareness mode and ANC. The sound overall is just HORRID! Even with fooling around with the equalizer and trying to customize the sound, it was beyond underwhelming/frustrating. The bass was terrible. I had to turn it damn near all the way down to not get annoyed. The louder you turn it up, the worse it sounds. Listening to music with these was not a pleasant experience. Every minute or few seconds, it sounds static-y. I’ve had grocery store headphones better than these ones. I love skull candy, but this one is a flop. I cannot speak for any of their other models of headphones, but this one is just not even up to par with the cheap ones I’ve had. I wanted to like these so bad, but they just didn’t work for me. I usually will just take the L and make the best of it, but I couldn’t justify that with the price in these. I ended up returning it. I thought about trying their other models, but I just coughed up the money for the AirPods Max, and they’ve been apart of me ever since lol.

I choose to wear these every day. I also actively hate them. Here’s why.
I am a nearly 24/7 headphones user, and it turns out I have a lot of specific needs as a result. These headphones meet some of them, and deeply do not meet others.Pros:•the battery life truly is astonishing. I genuinely use my headphones for 12+ hours a day, usually streaming videos, and usually charge them every-other-day, but sometimes only every third day. And it usually only takes maybe 10-15 minutes of charging to get a full day’s battery in them if you’re really in need. That’s not a full charge, but at least enough to use for the rest of the day before plugging them in while I sleep or something.•the sound quality is PHENOMENAL. For either music or for videos, everything sounds full and rich, and it’s easy to hear and understand even spoken word that’s been sped up 2x. You can’t imagine how many headphones get sound quality wrong, but SkullCandy has absolutely gotten it right in this case.•I typically hate and avoid ANC because I usually hear the white noise that’s being pumped in and it drives me into a frothing, overstimulated fury. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced ANC that I genuinely didn’t know was on because it was undetectable. As a note, the ANC will automatically turn on every time the device is powered up from the off state and you must double-press the power button to disable it. This is important to know because I almost disqualified these as being daily headphones at first because they made “everything sounds weird and muffled, even my own voice” outside. Which means it’s not 100% noise cancelling since you CAN still hear quite a bit if nothing’s playing, but it’s a shockingly good ANC option if you normally hate ANC.•the passive noise-dampening is really strong. I have hyperacusis and misophonia and these headphones naturally dampen sounds enough that I’m not as affected by the outside world as I normally would be. If anything, they actually dampen sounds enough TOO much (with ANC turned off), because I find I need outer sounds to be louder in order to hear them well. This is a confusing scenario for me because I can usually hear quiet things like they’re shouted into my brain, so… I guess this is a positive? Though I also view it as a slight negative.•the only buttons are an on/off/action button, and the toggle. It’s very important to me to be able to easily access the controls of my headphones without having to fumble around for the play/pause feature, and having everything bundled into the toggle is very easy and convenient. But it’s also extremely flawed and I’ll address that in the cons section.•they aren’t hot at all. Super important if you’re prone to overheating—which I am—so I really appreciate this fact.Cons:•these are EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I have glasses, and I have ear piercings. These have been my daily headphones for months and I’ve done absolutely everything I can to stretch out and loosen the band so it’s not squeezing my head like a vise grip. It’s been a pretty fruitless effort and I’ve had to essentially purchase accessory after accessory to solve the pain. I had to buy basically metal fairy ear cuffs to make a solid barrier between my ears and the headphones so they couldn’t squeeze my actual ear. Now that my cartilage is caged in and protected by metal, it’s a little bit better but not great. I also had to get some long, knitted tubes for my glasses arms to soften the pressure applied to the backs of my ears from how tight they squeeze me to them. It was about the time I started looking at additional ear cuffs to protect the small bits of my ears that are still exposed to the headphone vise that I realized… I really kind of hate these headphones. As they continue to hurt me over the course of the day, I get more and more overstimulated and angry. This is not acceptable for me at all.•the toggle, revisited. As mentioned, the toggle control is super cool and a really great way of making everything easy to operate… except it’s at such a weird, downward angle that the toggle is constantly getting flicked or activated by brushing my head against the headrest of my chair, or shrugging my shoulders, or using a neck pillow to support some messed up joints. I’m also narcoleptic and frequently fall asleep involuntarily with these on, only to panic when I wake and think they’ve suddenly stopped working. Nope, you’d think with how many times it’s happened I’d realize by now… but the volume down toggle will frequently get activated and just be fully at zero volume by the time I wake up. Or I’ll wake up and find that even though I paused what I was listening to right before passing out, the toggle will have either moved to a completely different video/song, or resumed playing even if I didn’t want it to. All of this could be avoided if the toggle was front-facing instead of at the back of the headphones, but… well… here we are. Super frustrating. Especially since it’s SUCH a good control system!!•if you use pass-through ANC… don’t. I tried it a couple of times out of curiosity, and because the natural passive dampening of these headphones isn’t 100%, you can still hear the outside world. Which makes it super annoying when there’s a noticeable delay in the pass-through audio because you get to hear everything twice. It’s not such a HUGE delay that you’d be likely to get completely speech jammed, but… you might. I didn’t want the ANC features to begin with, so this isn’t such a big deal to me… but I assume at least some of y’all would like to know this.•there are a lot of tight areas around the cups themselves that seem to snag and hold onto my hair and I usually lose a couple strands while taking the headphones off. This is just… a really weird problem to have with headphones.Despite the fact that, truly, I have come to hate the headphones… they are currently my daily drivers. Why? Because I have yet to find anything presently available that doesn’t run hot, is comfortable, has decent sound quality without video lag, and has buttons I can easily access without having to fumble incorrectly while half-asleep. I really need to be able to hit play/pause quickly, and too many headphones now keep those controls smashed tightly together. My previous daily drivers were the SkullCandy Uproar wireless headphones, and they were literally perfect… but mine are disintegrating, and old enough that the battery life is diminished. They’re also, sadly, discontinued. Which means I’m kind of stuck with these Icon’s until I find something better… which is turning out to be a whole saga because I’ve seriously tried nearly a dozen other headphones that are just functionally inadequately. These icons, at least, function fabulously for my needs… they’re just mostly awful to actually wear.So… do with this information what you will.
