Αν και υπήρχαν πολλά ασύρματα ακουστικά πριν τα AirPods της Apple, τώρα οι άλλες εταιρείες βρίσκουν το κοινό πιο ανοιχτό σε προτάσεις. Διαβάστε λοιπόν πως με μικρό κόστος μπορείτε να έχετε από την Skullcandy μια αξιοπρεπέστατη λύση, όπως την περιγράφει το gsmarena.
The Skullcandy Sesh is yet another pair of wireless earphones for those on a budget. It has a truly wireless design that sits completely in your ears similar to the AirPods but unlike Apple’s alternative, it costs just $60 and also has water and dust resistance.
Like most truly wireless earbuds, the Skullcandy Sesh come with a carry case that is also their charger. The case has a horizontal, pill-shaped design, which can be opened with one hand if you hold it sideways. It doesn’t open on its own no matter how much you shake the case, so that’s good. I do wish the case was a bit smaller, though.
On the front of the case is a button that tells you the charge status using four LEDs next to it. They also blink while the case is charging. On the back is a microUSB connector for charging the case, which in turn charges the earbuds inside.
The earbuds sit fairly shallow in the case and are easy to remove and plug back in. They snap in magnetically and have two metal connectors each to charge. When placed back into the case, the light on each earbud turns red to indicate charging and green when it’s fully charged.
The earbuds have an in-ear design as you may have noticed. The design is interesting because while the part that goes inside your ear is horizontally aligned, the outer portion of the earbud is vertically aligned. Other than looking good, it also allows you to grip the earbud firmly while sticking it in the ear.
Along with the aforementioned charging contacts and power LEDs, each earbud also has a physical button placed on the outer surface. As usual, the button requires a fair bit of pressure to activate, which pushes the earbud deeper into the ear, making it uncomfortable.
The method I prefer for such designs is to slide my index finger inside the ear and behind the outer body of the earbud and then press the button with the thumb, which causes the earbud to press into the index finger rather than into my ear.
If you stick to this, the external buttons are fairly usable for play/pause but the rest of the controls are too convoluted to use. Volume up/down requires a double click, voice assistant requires a triple click, and skipping track requires pressing and holding. None of these are intuitive or easy to execute when you’re on the move or working out so you’re better off just using the controls on your phone.
The Sesh are reasonably comfortable pair of earphones and they also sit very securely in your ear. The default ear tips worked perfectly fine for my ears but there are three pairs in total provided with them in different sizes.
Another good thing about the Sesh design is that it is sweat and dust resistant. They are IP55 certified, which means you can use them during your workout sessions or during a light drizzle and don’t have to worry about damaging them.
The Skullcandy Sesh use Bluetooth 5.0 for pairing and support only the basic SBC audio codec for audio transfer. In terms of audio quality, the Skullcandy Sesh sound pretty decent for the price. The sound is pretty bass-heavy, which is pretty much what one would expect from a Skullcandy branded product. The Sesh have a very prominent mid-bass, which makes them sound very bassy most of the time.
The mid-range performance is quite good. It’s not the most detailed, but it’s pleasantly portrayed without being dialed down aggressively or drowned out by the bass. Vocals in music sound good and even listening to podcasts was a good experience on these earphones. If you don’t like bright or shouty treble or listen to music that is inherently very brash or poorly recorded, then the mellow highs of the Sesh will be to your liking. Apart from the frequency response, the Sesh have decent imaging performance hampered slightly by the soft high-end. They get reasonably loud and I didn’t notice any distortion.
The Sesh aren’t active noise cancelling earphones like the Sony WF-1000XM3 or the AirPods Pro. However, they still do a decent job of turning down background noise around you. Using them in public or in a flight wasn’t such a bad experience as they tuned out most of the noise and didn’t really make me miss dedicated noise cancelling headphones that much.
Overall, the Skullcandy Sesh are a decent pair of wireless earbuds for $60. They have decent sound quality, are comfortable and can be used for workouts with their sweat and dust resistant design.
