Checking out the Skullcandy website, I came across this quirky description of these headphones: “Fisticuffs with the boss could potentially be confused by some at the office as a sign of insubordination. Vigorous dancing on his desk with exotic facial contortions and frequent airborne double-bird fist pumping hand gestures while wearing Hesh headphones is probably a more diplomatic way of saying, "Leave me alone so I can rock again."

Eager to find out more about these “Big Cans with Big Sound” I put them to the test.

I felt really awkward the first time I used the headphones. Personally, they’re really big and bulky and not my first choice of earphones I would go for.

However, the headphones fit snug on my head and are easily adjustable, fitting most head sizes. I like the fact that the headband is wrapped in leather as well as the ear cups, it makes for comfortable wearing.

Plugging them into my Mac was a breeze, connecting effortlessly to my iTunes library. They were even put to the test at the office, watching countless videos as loud as possible, without anyone complaining.

I wasn’t prepared for the awesome sound that came out of them. They are really amazing! I found myself just wanting to listen to music whenever I got the chance. The music was crisp and clear and oh-so loud. I was really impressed by them. The bass on these cans is good without any distortion at higher volumes.

All in all I really enjoyed my time with the earphones and would consider getting myself a pair... but only in pink!
