Skullcandy Crusher Over-Ear Wireless Headphones with Sensory Bass, 40 Hr Battery, Microphone, Works with iPhone Android and Bluetooth Devices - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Product Information

Skullcandy Crusher headphones are over-ear wireless headphones that deliver powerful bass and impressive sound quality. When it was off we found the headphones had a reasonably well-rounded and rich sound that still favored bass but didn't drown out other frequencies across all genres.

The Crusher Wireless aren’t close to “best in class” with their unadulterated sound, but I’ve enjoyed them, and they don’t have any glaring tonal issues. Where the old model looked like a pair of ear defenders, these are much closer to a standard pair of stylish street headphones.Your natural instinct when putting the headphones on will be to play the song in your library with the most sub-bass (something like James Blake's Limit to Your Love) and turn the slider all the way up. For some more specialist pairs, take a look at our guides to the best wireless headphones and the best noise-cancelling headphones. This is partly my fault, but even natural oils produced by your skin throughout the day leave their mark and I’d rather not have to use an alcohol-based hand gel every time I decide to listen to some music. This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. The effect here is more like listening to a club sound system from outside, with a brick wall in-between.

The bass feature is likely to decrease this longevity, but it’s hard to say by how much because I couldn’t stand to have it on for long at all. The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid.Enable push notifications in the Skullcandy App to receive alerts for upgrades that are available to you. Usually after an hour or so of wearing headphones I feel a pressure on my ears and temples but that took longer to happen with these, despite the fact that they sit firmly against the ear. The degree of noise isolation they offer is better than on-ears and about right for their over-ear design. At a push it might work for explosions in a movie or game, but you’ll have to dial it back down again to be able to hear the dialogue clearly in-between.

If I touched my face and then put the headphones on, my makeup immediately left fingerprints and it was even worse if I took them off and they brushed my face as I did so. Crusher ANC 2 features Skullcandy Supreme Sound with 40mm drivers that have been selected and expertly tuned to deliver full, rich sound for music, movies and podcasts.They do exert a decent clamping force, though, so if you have bigger ears or just don’t like firmer-feeling headphones, you may run into problems.

In some ways Skullcandy has significantly improved the Crusher since their first generation, but the bass extender is as ropey as ever. For example having to hold the plus or minus button for three seconds to skip a song makes a process most people want to be instantaneous far too long. Even the biggest bass fans are likely to find they'll be happy with the slider only halfway up, suggesting to us that the cut off point for this slider is just far too high.
