But instead of buying a budget pair, we recommend picking up something more substantial when it's on sale so you get the best value for your money. That's exactly what we found with this pair of Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC headphones, now 78% off at Walmart. Instead of paying $159, you can now get them for just $35. That's a massive price drop. A surprise discount Credit: Skullcandy While everyone is looking on Amazon for great deals, Walmart is hosting the real savings. The Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC headphones deliver robust sounds with its 40mm drivers that pair well with music, movies, TV shows, and more. If the default experience isn't to your liking, you can use the Skullcandy app to load up the three preset EQ modes or tune it using the 5-band equalizer. You can also expect calls to be crystal clear with Skullcandy's "Clear Voice Smart Mic with Natural Voice Sidetone technology." And perhaps most impressive is the long 65-hour battery life you get from a single charge. If you manage to deplete the headphones, a quick 10-minute charge using USB-C will give you four hours of listening time. And if you need them for travel, these headphones fold up for easy storage. Plus, you get active noise-canceling to eliminate external noises that might be a bother. Again, we don't think you'll find a pair of headphones that are better at this price. The $35 price tag should be a huge draw. You might even be able to pick them up at a local Walmart. If not, you can always get them shipped to you. But Walmart only offers free shipping on orders of $35 or more. Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC headphones $35 $159 Save $124 Battery Life 65 hours Noise Cancellation Yes Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.3
