Best Skullcandy Sesh Truly Wireless Earbuds [Review]

The Skullcandy Sesh are simple true wireless in-ears with a lightweight, breathable design. They have a bass-heavy sound profile that gives your audio more thud and power. They’re rather comfy, and they come with three different tip sizes to help you find the perfect fit. While its 3.7-hour continuous battery life may not be enough to get you through the day, its portable charging case provides an additional two charges for when you’re on the run.

Style

The Skullcandy Sesh headphones are fully wireless and feature a tiny earbud design that doesn’t protrude too far from your ears. The top of the earphones has an indent that allows you to hit the tactile buttons without having to push the earbuds farther into your ear.

Comfort

These moderately comfortable headphones include three various size tips to help you find the perfect fit. While they don’t put too much pressure on the ear, their in-ear design isn’t for everyone, and some people may get tired of wearing them for long periods of time.

Controls

The Skullcandy Sesh’s controls are adequate. Each earbud has a clicky tactile mechanism that may slightly press the earbud into your ear. Fortunately, the design includes a location for you to put your finger to help avoid this. One tap to pause/play or answer calls, two taps to adjust volume (down on left earbud, upon right), a long press to skip tracks (previous on left earbud, next on right), and three taps to activate your phone’s voice assistant are the only controls available. These in-ears lack a dedicated talk-through capability to toggle the ambient mode on and off, unlike the Skullcandy Indy Evo Truly Wireless and Skullcandy Indy Fuel Truly Wireless.

Breathability

The Skullcandy Sesh has a fantastic breathability rating. Their little earbuds don’t retain heat under the ear cup, so you shouldn’t notice a difference in temperature while using them. This means that when wearing them, you shouldn’t sweat any more than usual.

Portability

The Skullcandy Sesh headphones are extremely portable. They’re small enough to fit in your pockets or a purse. They also include a compact carrying case that will fit into most pockets.

Case

The charging station is built into the casing. While it feels a little plasticky, it appears to be well-made and should be able to endure a few drops without damage.

Build Quality

The build quality of these headphones is excellent. They’re primarily made of plastic, which feels strong and long-lasting. They also have an IP55 water resistance rating, which we don’t test for. The charging case is similarly constructed of plastic and appears to be rather durable.

Stability

The Skullcandy Sesh is well-balanced. Even during high-intensity motions, they don’t move much in your ears. You should be able to wear them during your workouts even if they don’t have stabilising fins.

Battery

The Skullcandy Sesh has a mediocre battery life. They only last around four hours on a single charge, so you won’t be able to get through your entire workday with them. Their portable charging case provides roughly two more charges for when you’re on the run, however charging takes over an hour and a half. If you need to get out the door quickly, the Skullcandy Indy Fuel Truly Wireless, which has a lesser continuous battery life but recharges much faster, is a good option.

Bluetooth

The Bluetooth performance of these headphones is adequate. They’re Bluetooth 5.0 compliant, however you can only pair them with one device at a time. Furthermore, because of their significant latency, they may not be the greatest choice for watching films or movies. Some programmes, however, adjust for latency, so your actual experience may differ.

Noise Cancellation

The Skullcandy Sesh performs admirably in terms of noise isolation. You can hear bus and plane engines since they don’t block out a lot of noise in the bass range. They do, however, a better job of blocking out higher-frequency sounds like voices and the hum of air conditioners.

Pros and Cons

Verdict

The Skullcandy Sesh are suitable for a variety of uses. Their airy, stable design is perfect for working out at the gym, and their bass-heavy sound profile can keep you motivated, however it may be too much for neutral sound fans. While they can filter out workplace noises, they struggle to isolate against bass-heavy motors heard throughout your commute, and its microphone has poor recording quality.
