Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active review

The Skullcandy Sesh Active ANC are the latest earbuds on offer and a mighty pair they are too and deliver all round as expected and these are the new updated version of the old Sesh ANC you could say.

These are slightly larger earbuds and fit well in the ears despite their size and for me not my usual favourite styled earbud but once fitted with the right tips they were fine after a few days testing and they grew on me and of course sounded great with all the options available minus one I love that Skullcandy offer.

The case they come in is pretty cool too and kept simple just like the earbuds and this case will slip into any shirt or trouser pocket or tech bag.

There is 12mm drivers packed in these earbuds which might be a factor in their size and with the EQs on the app and other options you can customize these to your own needs and not only that these have multi pairing which for me is ideal working on two devices all day long and not only that can be used individually effectively doubling your battery life.

You can have spotify on tap or take a photo with these but this there is no hey skullcandy feature this time which makes sense at the price this is one of my favourite features they do offer on other products and missed here however no big deal as everything else is there that I need including access to my voice assistants.

The sound is great and they get plenty loud too with adjustable stay aware mode and ANC of course which works really well even on calls on a windy day all was clear both ends and the ANC is decent here.

You have also got low latency built in and clear voice smart mic making these an overall greatly packed pair or earbuds with features for all.

The sound overall is great and highs lows and mids fine, loud no lag latency or tinny sound noted when maxed out and great direction too putting you in the center stage and an overall great audio experince and that goes for podcasts and gaming too.

Tech Review – Skullcandy Sesh ANC earbuds

The Skullcandy Sesh are one the latest true wireless in their range which come in at an affordable price offering great features for those who do not want to fork out big money and wants something that sounds good and these deliver in these aspects, With the traditional packing you’d expect from the company you get all you need in the box from the get go which will not break the bank and with some good sales on now you could pick these up at a super price.

These come with a charging case which is one that will not open on shaking or if left open your earbuds will not fall out and the case has USB-C charging. The case is plastic with a Matt Black finish just like the earbuds themselves so a standard affair here which is no big deal, I Would like to see more colours though than the traditional Black or White options we tend to see these days.

The case has LEDs on the front to give you a battery status and up to 25 hours with ANC on using the case provided and is  sufficient at the price point and fine for commuter journeys and so on but you can use these in the gym or walking in the rain as they are IP55 rated. The charge case is an average size like the buds themselves and are pocketable. When it comes to fit these are a solid one, for me they fit nice and snug and do not budge when jogging or walking and with that have good passive isolation sealing out a good bit of the outside world but they do not have audio pass through which is fine at this price. They have been one of the better fitting ones I have tried of late and that’s a good thing but everyone’s ears differ and there is extra tips in the box to get that perfect fit.

This time around unlike their previous version has access to their app which is certainly welcome giving you more additional features and allowing you to tune to your needs and the sound is great, highs lows and mids are fine good bass and decent volume levels so for movies music gaming  ( there is a game mode option here )and more you will be covered with great sound without having to break the bank.The ANC is quite decent and calls have been also surprisingly good.

See the video below for more.

Features

  • The buds hold up to 6 hours with ANC on, and the case charges the buds 4 times between plug-ins. Plus, with Rapid Charge, the first 10 minutes of charging give you 2 hours of play time.
  • Sesh ANC boasts an IP55 rating for sweat, water and dust resistance. That means there’s no need to panic (or even hit pause) next time you work up a serious sweat or find yourself caught in the rain.
  • You can access advanced features through the Skullcandy App. Adjust Stay-Aware Mode, choose a preset or custom equalizer, access the free Tile app and more.
  • Clear Voice Smart Mic is the closest thing to talking in person. It uses artificial intelligence to isolate the speaker’s voice and reduce background noise.
  • Sesh ANC earbuds automatically connect to your device when removed from the case. They also feature on-earbud controls — play, pause, skip, adjust volume, take calls and more without ever touching your phone.
