Skullcandy is a popular brand when it comes to making impressive audio products. The company recently expanded its product lineup with the launch of its affordable earbuds with ANC support. The Skullcandy Sesh ANC earbuds come with a price tag of Rs 7,999 and promise to offer a powerful audio experience. Positioned as an affordable pair of TWS earbuds with active noise cancellation, customizable sound, and smart features like Tile tracking, the Sesh ANC aims to deliver more than just punchy audio. We used the earbuds for sometime and here’s our complete review of the same.
Design
Skullcandy is known for designing some really cool and trendy pairs of true wireless earbuds and the Skullcandy Sesh ANC is no different. This new pair of TWS from the Skullcandy carry forward the company’s design philosophy that prioritises durability and practicality over sleek minimalism. The earbuds come with a pebble shaped charging case which is slightly chunky but feels solid in hand. The charging case of Skullcandy Sesh ANC comes with a matte finish which keeps fingerprints at bay. The textured flap on the earbuds house the Skullcandy logo and the front part features the LED indicator. The USB Type C charging port is placed at the back and there is also a loop given on the charging case which helps to hang the earbuds while on the go.
Open the flap and you will find the pair of Skullcandy Sesh ANC earbuds which sit firmly on their respective sides with the help of strong magnetic pins. The earbuds are made of hard polycarbonate and are designed to resist scratches and smudges. The earbuds also come with IP55 rating which makes them resistant to sweat, dust and light rain. The Skullcandy Sesh ANC earbuds come with multiple ear tip sizes which enable users to find the right seal for both comfort and optimal noise cancellation. The earbuds sit snugly in the ear and do not protrude much. Also the ergonomic shape of the earbuds helps in reducing pressure during extended listening or binge-watching sessions. Despite their bulky appearance, the earbuds remain lightweight and you can easily wear them all day long.
Features and performance
The Skullcandy Sesh ANC TWS earbuds come packed with features that enhance the overall user experience. The true wireless earbuds feature a 12mm driver unit and it comes with active noise cancellation support. The earbuds also offer customisable sound profiles and smart integrations for better everyday listening experience.
One of the standout features of Skullcandy Sesh ANC TWS is the active noise cancellation support. The ANC feature will surely leave you impressed. When used in the ANC mode, the earbuds effectively reduce the low-frequency ambient sounds like engine hums, AC units, and background chatter. Also, the Ambient Mode enables users to hear their surroundings without removing the earbuds which make them ideal to use in public places. You can also easily switch between the ANC and Ambient mode with the help of the touch controls and the companion app.
Skullcandy Sesh ANC comes with Bluetooth version 5.3 and also supports multipoint pairing which enables the users to easily switch between devices such as smartphone and laptop. Additional features include customisable touch controls via the Skullcandy app, support for voice assistants, and compatibility with both Android and iOS devices.
The companion Skullcandy app helps in personalising the earbuds which in-turn enhances the user experience. The app adds a layer of personalisation, control and firmware support which makes the user experience more premium. The app also offers EQ control. Users can select from multiple well-tuned presets such as Music, Podcast, and Movie—each tailored to enhance specific audio profiles. For those who want more control, the Custom EQ option allows you to manually adjust bass, mids, and treble to suit your preferences. This is especially useful for users who find the default bass-heavy tuning too intense or want to tweak the sound for different genres or listening environments.
The app also allows users to activate and manage Tile tracking. For those unaware, the feature enables users to find misplaced earbuds using the Tile network. Once set up, you can ring your earbuds or view their last known location on a map, making it a lifesaver for forgetful users.
Coming to the audio quality, the Skullcandy Sesh ANC earbuds lean heavily toward bass-forward audio, making these earbuds a great match for energetic genres and punchy tracks. The sound profile of the earbuds are designed to deliver an impactful audio output. Deep and thumping, the earbuds are ideal for tracks like “Malang” from the Bollywood film Malang, where the driving beat and atmospheric bass come alive. On the other hand, the mids were warm and present and vocals in songs like “Kesariya” from Brahmāstra sound smooth, though they may lack a bit of upper-mid sparkle. Highs were clear but not overly sharp. Treble detail is decent, but not crisp enough for intricate acoustic tracks like “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from A Star Is Born.
The earbuds shine with Hollywood pop and EDM—think “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd , where the bass pulses and synths feel immersive.
Battery is definitely one the strongest selling points of Skullcandy Sesh ANC. Skullcandy claims 6 hours with ANC on and up to 9 hours without, with the case providing an additional 2–3 full charges. During our testing, the earbuds managed to deliver around 5 hours of music playback on a single charge. The earbuds come with fast charging support and with 10 minutes of charge you can enjoy up to 2 hours of music playback.
VerdictThe Skullcandy Sesh ANC TWS earbuds come with a price tag of Rs 7,999. The earbuds sport a sturdy design and offer a mix of budget-friendly features. The support for ANC, bass-heavy sound and app-based customisation further improves the user experience. While the design is utilitarian and battery life could be better, the overall package punches above its weight—especially with Tile tracking and a well-executed companion app. If you are looking for a pair of affordable true wireless earbuds with ANC support, then Skullcandy Sesh ANC can be your pick.
