Review 1: ★★★★★

It was very fast to ship and be delivered to me. It said it would come in 5 days, but it was shipped and delivered in one day without paying extra. It was very easy to pair. You just had to put them on and click on them while running. There is a button control that allows you to pick up calls, turn off music, and power on and off. It's an actual button, so you don't have to worry about accidentally turning your music off or on when you are running. There are also many other controls, which are explained in the guide. They fit perfectly in my ear and don't fall out while working or running. The sound quality is decent; it's not too loud but not low at all. You can hear your music, but you won't be able to hear your surroundings unless you lower it while using it for running. Once connected, you can see the battery life in your Bluetooth settings. It comes with a charger and earbud-changing pieces. Overall, an amazing product for its price!

Review 2: ★★★★☆

Ordered the Skull Candy Sesh Evo earbuds from Amazon because my new S23 Android phone does not have a port to plug in earbuds. Product arrived timely and in good condition for my run. The sound is very good for buds that cost less than $30. The only negative thing is that one of the buds doesn't fit well into my ear and has a tendency to fall out while running. Although these buds are not "noise cancelling " they still buffer out a lot of noise. I like the baby blue color buds and carrying case. I would recommend this product to others for running.

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

Let me start by saying I LOVE Skullcandy products for running and have been using their headphones almost exclusively for well over 10 years now. So I'm a bit upset by these headphones. I bought them back in November 2021 and have been fighting with them since then. I even stopped using them for a while, thought maybe it was something I did, went on line, looked up the issues and started again. Nope! I cannot get them to charge properly. Very hit and miss. My husband has the exact set as I do and we both have the same problem. Our right ear bud does not want to charge (Product defect???). Which is sad because when they work, they sound GREAT for my running! Very good depth of sound from such an inexpensive set of headphones. Will I continue to buy Skullcandy? Yes, because other than this one incident they have a top rated product as far as I'm concerned.

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

I used these yesterday, and they seemed fine. I run with them in the gym, sound was good for audio, and loud. The battery started dying, so I fully charged them. Today, none of the buttons work. I have tried both earbuds several times for a run. No luck. Long press, short press, double tap, nothing.

Update: I use them the next day on a different device and the buttons work. I don't know what's going on with these things. However the sound in the right earbud is nowhere near the same volume as this sound in the left. It also doesn't fit the same. The battery life is definitely much shorter than other earbuds that I have for running. And the volume comes through much quieter than other earbuds as well.

Review 5: ★★★★☆

I’ve tried all the different size earbuds it came with, but they continue to fall out of my ears when I wear them while running. Earbuds aren’t the best for that, but most of my other earbuds don’t fall out quite so often while I am running in the garden in the morning. However, they fit fine if I’m not moving around a lot, just gardening, and the sound quality is really good, which is why I purchased them.

Review 6: ★★★★☆

Bought these on a whim December 2021 because they were super on sale. They're SO comfortable for my running. I bought some PowerBeats Pro this past spring and got rid of them because I kept going back to these cheap Skullcandy ones. They're comfortable for a  run(I have super small ears and can wear them for hours), they're reliable, and I love that I can use one at a time while charging the other. I have experienced the occasional cutting out others have mentioned, but it usually comes back within a minute or so. If it doesn't I just put them back in the case, close it, and take them back out to reconnect and it works fine. I'd absolutely buy them again for my running in the gym.

Review 7: ★★★★☆

I've been looking for some wireless earbuds for a while to use with my S23 for running. These little guys definitely fit the bill. They're very comfortable while running in the gym or outdoors, they stay in your ear well, and the battery life is pretty decent. Usually wireless earbuds feel too big for my ears, but these do not. They also pick up quite a bit of sound in the background and the foreground so the microphone feature works extremely well I'm told. I love using them to listen to music and to make hands free phone calls after running. Super convenient case to throw in my bag as well so that I don't lose or damage them.

Review 8: ★★★☆☆

Stopped working after 4 months. I loved them when they worked, used them every day to listen to audiobooks, talk on the phone and run in thr gym. So when they all of a sudden stopped charging making them unusable I was a little disappointed. I know they are in the cheaper end for my running equipment but I thought they would last longer than 4 months.

Review 9: ★★★★★

I got a pair four years ago for Christmas and just recently had to replace them for running. After 2 years, the right earbud fell apart and I had to glue it back together but they lasted another two years after that. The case charge port got its connection bent and only a few old loose chargers would fit it, but that didn’t stop them. Good enough sound quality for wireless earbuds for runners. I don’t need them to have amazing sound quality, I have my car and home theater for that. All in all 10/10 will buy again in another four years.

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

I have a pair of Skullcandy headphones for running in the gym that have worked out well for me, so I decided to give these earbuds a try thinking they'd be of the same quality. I found these earbuds to be incredibly frustrating while running. Not only do they have poor battery life (mine lasted 2 hours tops on a full charge), but it is nearly impossible to get these things to charge to begin with. The number of times I have left these earbuds in the fully charged case and then been greeted with the dreaded "BATTERY LOW" as soon as I put them in.... You basically have to sit there and babysit them and constantly take them out and then put them back into the case to get them charging because they will stop charging after only a few minutes... so rinse and repeat that about 100 times to get to a full charge.

All in all, these earbuds gives users a good experience, but it also disappoints some customers. The battery life of the earbuds are poor, you have to recharge it after 2 hours of use, and the charging case is inferior. You need to keep taking the earbuds out and putting it in and taking care of it carefully before it will charge the earbuds for you. This is too bad for consumers! 

So if you're still on the fence about buying these earbuds, then you need to think twice. Also, during our headphones reviews, we found a great bone conduction headphones, the Wissonly Hi Runner. These headphones feature a battery life of up to 10 hours at 60% volume and a two-hour fast charge. If you need a pair of headphones for running, you may want to consider purchasing the Hi Runner instead of the Skullcandy Sesh Evo.

Wissonly Hi Runner Bone Conduction Headphones for Running

Wissonly is the brand with the best experience among the bone conduction headphones we have used this year. It is one of the best in terms of sound quality, wearing experience, configuration, etc., and performs well in terms of product quality and hearing protection effect.

Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones have strong battery life, allowing you to listen to music continuously for 10 hours at the normal volume and suitable for long-distance running. It is lightweight, weighing less than 30 grams. You can concentrate on running without feeling any weight on your ears. Plus, the surface of the headphones is made of soft and skin-friendly silicone material, which is very safe and comfortable to wear.

This wireless and ear-hanging bone conduction headset has a large memory of 32GB, one of its main features, which can store up to 5000 songs at the same time and has very powerful performance. It supports dual playback of Bluetooth mode and MP3 mode, providing convenience for runners. If your smartphone has no signal or it is inconvenient for you to carry it while running outdoors or in the gym, you can use the MP3 mode of the headphones to enjoy music.

This headphone has an IPX8 waterproof rating and good sweatproof performance, so that the headphones will not be damaged by rain or sweat during running. Additionally, its overall frame is made of adjustable aviation-grade titanium steel material, which can fit different head sizes, ensuring a firm fit and not falling off  easily while running. It can also be well cooperated with running sunglasses and sun hat visor.

As the flagship model of Wissonly, the bone conduction headphones has an open-ear design that allows you to hear the surrounding environment while running, making it safer and more hygienic to use. However, the open-ear design also has its shortcomings, as it is easy to hear wind noise while running. However, for runners, safety is key. If you are looking for a pair of practical headphones that can be used for running, take this opportunity to buy this one at price $99.99.
