The Skullcandy Sesh Evo’s extra punchy bass, good passive noise isolation, and comfortable fit make it a go-to choice for workouts and travel. Moreover, their affordable price makes up for the high latency, short battery life, lack of ANC, and imbalanced sound profile.
First launched back in mid-2020, the Skullcandy Sesh Evo is an entry-level wireless closed-back model that boasts a fairly neutral but also somewhat bass-heavy sound profile for those audiophile users that prefer listening to dubstep and other bassy music genres.
The wireless earbuds feature the more efficient Bluetooth 5.0 standard, just like the highest-ranked headphones available in its range.
But unlike the most popular wireless earbuds of today, this model lacks multi-device pairing or built-in NFC for seamless pairing with supported phones.
Unfortunately, these wireless earbuds don’t have the active noise cancellation tech to prevent ambient noises from distracting the user.
If ANC is one of your biggest requirements, and you want to get a pair of earbuds from the same brand, then make sure to take a gander at our Skullcandy Indy ANC review. The Skullcandy Evo provides a physical button on each side to access the controls.
What Is Not on the Box
What the brand doesn’t always tell you…
our Verdict
The Skullcandy Sesh Evo has clear mids and a bass-heavy sound signature, and while that’s a treat for bass heads, it overshadows the vocals.
You get moderately seamless Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, but it lacks multi-device pairing, and high latency on PC (190ms), iOS (289ms), and Android (314ms) occasionally affects smooth content streaming.
Their 4.7-hour battery is mediocre, however, the case provides three extra charges (18.8 hours total). The buds are light and reasonably comfortable, but they’re bulky, and pressing the multi-function control button drives the bud into the ear, causing discomfort.
Despite lacking ANC, their passive noise isolation blocks ambient chatter well. With physical button controls, you get responsive feedback when tweaking the volume and music, and although large, the case is rugged and supports wireless charging.

Unlike the 2nd Gen Apple AirPods, the Skullcandy Sesh Evo wireless earbuds are truly in-ear headphones, meaning that the latter model comes with three pairs of silicone ear tips of different sizes that actually seal your ear canals. As a direct consequence, the Skullcandy Sesh Evo features a better passive noise isolation performance in comparison to the 2nd Gen Apple AirPods. And the Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds also suffer from significantly less sound leakage than the 2nd Gen Apple AirPods earphones.

The Skullcandy Sesh Evo is a newer variant of the original Skullcandy Sesh wireless earbuds, and the manufacturer has introduced a few new features into the mix. For example, the new Skullcandy Sesh Evo’s charging case supports wireless charging, but the older Skullcandy Sesh does not. And the more recent Skullcandy Sesh Evo’s comprehensive control scheme offers access to switchable EQ modes, unlike the original Skullcandy Sesh. But the older Sesh does have a better integrated microphone.

The Skullcandy Sesh Evo features 4.7 hours of battery life, but the Skullcandy Indy Evo only has a runtime of about 2.7 hours on a single charge. Even including the charging case, the Skullcandy Sesh Evo wireless earbuds last for around 18.8 hours, whereas the Skullcandy Indy Evo in-ear headphones last for just 13.5 hours. And despite both earbuds not having active noise cancellation technology, the Skullcandy Sesh Evo features a better passive noise isolation performance than the Skullcandy Indy Evo unit.

Each earbud shell of the JLab JBuds Air wireless earbuds weighs around 0.02 lbs, whereas the Skullcandy Sesh Evo weighs 0.03 lbs. As a result, the JLab JBuds Air is marginally more comfortable to wear for a long session when put against the Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds. On the other hand, the JLab JBuds Air earbuds have more of an unbalanced sound profile out of the box in comparison to the Skullcandy Sesh’s fairly neutral sound profile. And it lasts longer without accounting for the case.
