Review on Headphones Skullcandy Hesh 2 by Deva Raja (kamal) ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

Now for the details: I bought these headphones, having read rave reviews from previous comrades, as an analogue of SONY MDR-XB450AP. In Sonya, I was not satisfied with the same midrange failure described in the reviews and grunting in the bass when listening from low-power sources such as radio and telephone (not enough power). I ordered almost blindly (blindly), believing all the previous reviews, dreaming about the "miracle" for 1400. Firstly, the price to Hong Kong with deliveries (in St. Petersburg from the seller to the terminal-200r; by the Transport Company to Hong Kong-500r; delivery to the apartment in Hong Kong-200r) was rounded -2300r. Those. almost the cost of the aforementioned SONY . Immediately I can honestly say: in terms of sound - NOTHING SPECIAL. Yes, the basses are present, the mids are not overwhelmed and the tops seem to be there too, but all this is in some very moderate amount (similar to a straight frequency response). Yes, using the equalizer you can get a great sound, but this is more the merit of the equalizer and not the headphones . Yes, and I took them with the expectation of listening to high-quality sound from different sources . As a result, I use Sonya with a computer, but with all the others sources I use Skullcandy Hesh 2. And so, in principle, the headphones are not bad in sound, comfortable, cute and, most importantly, do not require much power from the sound source . Probably that's why, despite my previous whining, I still gave 4 points. Why did I still manage to write a report, this is solely to warn a potential buyer: "Don't expect a miracle! If possible, be sure to LISTEN to their sound (it may seem quite sufficient to you), and if there is no such possibility, try to believe I wrote above." Enjoy the shopping!

Pros
  • Appearance, they sit comfortably on the head, the only disconnected wire (does not get confused), a case. They reproduce good sound even from low-power sources.
Cons
  • Sound quality did not live up to expectations.
