The padding on the earcups is decent at best. The Hesh 2's circumaural, over-the-ear design has a comfortable fit. During phone calls, we found that the inline mic picked up too much ambient noise, and the person on the other end couldn't hear our voice clearly. It can be used to play/pause music and accept calls, which worked well. The build quality of the in-line remote's button is not great. The detachable cable definitely helps in making the Hesh 2 easier to pack and carry around. There's a standard 3.5mm plug, but the lack of a 6.5mm adapter is disappointing. The Hesh 2 features a detachable cable which is adequately long at 1.2m.

We are slightly traditional when it comes to product design and prefer understated colours, so it's safe to say we aren't fans of Hesh2's outlandish design. The band and cans are primarily blue, with maroon and yellow accents matching the shades of Barcelona's logo. Fortunately, it is not shiny and the colours are somewhat subdued. Our first impression is that the Hesh 2 looks like a toy. However, dirt particles and fibres from clothes will stick to this material very easily, making our review unit look shabby. The Hesh 2 is made out of rubberised plastic which even when flexed doesn't feel like it will give in to the pressure. Skullcandy has come a long way since making products with inferior build quality (the sturdiness of their low-end products is still suspect). They may or may not translate to good real-life performance. On paper, these specifications are impressive, but we've always learned to take these manufacturer-quoted ratings with a pinch of salt. The Hesh 2 has a True Harmonic Distruction (THD) rating of less than 0.1 percent, establishing it as a high-end pair of headphones. Additionally, the sound pressure level of 105db should suffice for normal listening conditions. The rated impedance of 35ohms means that most regular MP3 players and smaller devices with no dedicated amplifier should be able to power the headphones. The Skullcandy Hesh 2 has a frequency response range of 18Hz - 20Hz. All physical and sound quality characterstics are the same as the regular Hesh 2. Here we review the Hesh 2-FC, which is decked out in Barcelona colours.

Logos of prominent European football clubs including AC Milan, Chelsea FC, and Barcelona have been used in the design change. The models that have undergone this makeover are the Hesh 2, Ink'd, and Uprock. This branding is of a cosmetic nature only. Skullcandy recently introduced a Football Club (FC) series of headphones. Most of their products are tuned to give more prominence to low frequencies, directly catering to bass freaks. Skullcandy's headphones and earphones are some of the flashiest ones available today.
