Skullcandy has launched another new pair of headphones, the Hesh 540 ANC, which are now available to order directly from the manufacturer for $149.99 or €129.99. It comes in two colors: True Black or Bone.
As the name suggests, the new Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC features active noise cancellation. Four microphones and built-in ANC technology filter out background noise, and the level of noise cancellation is adjustable. If needed, the outside world can be remain unfiltered via the Stay Aware mode.
Like all other headphones and earphones, activating ANC reduces battery life. According to Skullcandy, battery life is up to 65 hours without ANC and around 50 hours with ANC. A 10-minute quick charge allows for an additional 4 hours of playback, with the headphones automatically starting and pausing playback each time they are put on or taken off thanks to wear detection.
The highlight of the new Hesh 540 ANC is the spatial sound experience thanks to support for THX Spatial Audio. This ensures 3D sound for music, movies and more. The sound can be individually customized to your taste using Personal Sound by Mimi and EQ presets.
In addition to Bluetooth 5.3 with Google Fast Pair and multi-point pairing for simultaneous connection to multiple devices, the Hesh 540 ANC also offers the option of a wired connection via a 3.5 mm jack. Other features include the use of voice assistants at the touch of a button and a foldable design.
