How good is the noise canceling?

It uses four external mics with adjustable ANC and a Stay-Aware mode. Owners say it cuts steady noise but is weaker than the best in the class, and some hear wind while biking.

How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?

Skullcandy rates it at 65 hours with ANC off and 50 with ANC on. A 10-minute USB-C charge gives about 4 hours, and a full recharge takes about 2 hours.

Can I use it wired or with a game console?

Yes. It includes a removable 3.5mm aux cable, so it works wired with consoles and other devices, and Low-Latency Mode reduces delay over Bluetooth.

The headphones, a removable aux cable, a USB-C charging cable and a user guide. There is no carry case or pouch.

Does it support multipoint pairing?

Yes. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint keeps it connected to two devices at once, and Google Fast Pair speeds up pairing on Android.

Is the Hesh 540 ANC worth it?

It competes on battery life, spatial audio and app tuning rather than top-tier noise canceling. If ANC is your priority, compare it with Sony and Bose models first.

About the Hesh 540 ANC

The Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC wireless over-ear headphones deliver an immersive listening experience powered by adjustable 4-mic Active Noise Canceling and THX Spatial Audio technology. Four dedicated external microphones continuously detect and cancel ambient noise, creating a personal audio environment free from distractions — whether you're commuting, working, or unwinding at home. THX Spatial Audio transforms every track into a three-dimensional soundscape through potent 40mm dynamic drivers, so music, movies, and podcasts feel layered, dimensional, and fully enveloping. When awareness of your surroundings matters, Stay-Aware mode lets you precisely control how much outside sound filters in without interrupting playback. Personalize your listening experience further through the Skullcandy app, which offers a customizable 5-band equalizer, three preset EQ modes — Music, Bass Boost, and Podcast — and Personal Sound by Mimi for hearing-profile-based audio tuning. The Clear Voice Smart Mic with Natural Voice Sidetone technology ensures crystal-clear call quality in any environment. With up to 65 hours of battery life and Rapid Charge technology delivering four hours of playback from a 10-minute USB-C charge, the Hesh 540 ANC is engineered for listeners who refuse to be tethered. Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with multipoint pairing keeps you seamlessly connected to two devices simultaneously, while Low-Latency Mode minimizes audio delay for gaming and video content. A foldable, collapsible design along with an included 3.5mm audio cable and USB-C charging cable make the Hesh 540 ANC a complete, travel-ready audio solution.
