Review on Skullcandy Sesh Evo TWS wireless headphones, pure mint by Agata Kowalska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Prior to then, I was able to listen to a wide variety of TWS, most notably from JBL, but I quickly gave up on them due to their poor sound quality, uncomfortable fit, and frequent phone disconnections. The JBL Tune 120 TWS were the ones I settled on because they appeared sturdy enough (despite some minor complaints) to last the 1.5 years I used them and the rest of their expected lifespan. Up to 4,000 have to be taken out of the equation (because some people are strangling to take more expensive). After reading mostly excellent reviews for this model, I wanted to familiarize myself with the Skullcandy brand. I did so without being able to see, hear, or feel anything as I did so. Well, what can I say, I didn't lose — it's almost a fairy tale — you take it out of the box, insert it into your ears, and it dissolves; the headphones fit snugly, they don't protrude from your head for half a meter like their JBL counterparts do; they don't exert any vacuum pressure on your eardrums; and you don't have to fiddle with the screws and the adjusting mechanism to get them to stay in place. Long-term use does not cause fatigue; in fact, after a while, you may even forget they are in your ear. But the sound is definitely their strongest suit in my book. Even on the subway, I can get by with only half the volume because the headphones fit so well and produce such high-quality sound. The headphones and carrying case are both made of a matte thick plastic that gives off an air of luxury and prevents fingerprints and grime from accumulating. The headphones click in with a tiny movement and don't make any noise once inside, and the cover of the case sits firmly. Each set of headphones has a single mechanical button for control; accidental activation is highly unlikely thanks to the light pressure required. The remote is never in my hand (2-second hold of the button to switch the track, this is debatable). The mic is set up, but it won't pick up your voice very clearly. It's a huge improvement over the JBL Tune 120 TWS, but it's still not great. Finally, it is something I strongly urge you to purchase.

Pros
  • Sound isolation is excellent, the bass and loudness levels are satisfying, the headphones don't cause any discomfort or fatigue, and they don't put any pressure on your eardrums or other ear structures.
Cons
  • The microphones were never taught to use TWS above 5,000. The casing is small enough to fit in a fist, but its unusual design means it will protrude from a pocket (for me this is a trifle, but maybe it will be critical for someone).
