Our Verdict

Skullcandy Hesh 3 Wireless

Mpow H10 Wireless

The Mpow H10 Wireless are better headphones than the Skullcandy Hesh 3. The Mpow have a decent ANC feature while the Hesh 3 only passively isolates noise, which makes the Mpows better suited for the office and commuting.  Sound-wise, the Skullcandy headphones are really bass-heavy, so EDM and dubstep fans might prefer their sound profile. However, the Mpow are slightly more comfortable, and their Bluetooth latency might be low enough for people not to notice a delay. On the other hand, the Skullcandy takes half the charging time of the Mpow and provides you with about 20 hours of battery life, which is great.
