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

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. As Bluetooth requires a battery, this cell is also used to power the Crusher’s unusual “haptic bass” chamber. The original Crusher pair needed batteries to work. Without haptic bass engaged the Crusher last for up to 40 hours, which is fantastic. Personal Sound: Tune your Crusher ANC, Crusher Evo, Indy ANC or Dime XT 2 to your unique hearing. Take a simple hearing assessment to generate your personalized sound profile. Hear your music like never before. 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. 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.

Bassheads would be better off with the Urbanista New York, which have gut-punching sub-bass. Or you could just buy the Hesh 3, which are cheaper and leave out the haptic bass feature. Verdict Enhance and customize your listening experience with the Skullcandy App. Control product features and settings, access user guides, and update product firmware versions as Skullcandy releases updates to some products in market. Though comfortable, these headphones look and feel slightly cheap which isn’t ideal for something that will sit so prominently on your head. We also think the multi-function buttons could have been utilized and positioned in a way that was more intuitive and convenient to use. The cut-off point for the bass slider is too high as sliding it any more than halfway up made most songs hard to listen to. Final Verdict

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.

This criticism of the treble sums up the sound’s limitations. It’s not that subtle or refined, but does generally give you a good time.The Crusher Wireless headphones are easy to pair to your device and once connected the Bluetooth connection remains strong. The sound quality via Bluetooth is good and consistent and you can move a reasonable distance from your device in an open space. Walls and doors will cause connection problems as they do with any pair of Bluetooth headphones. These aren’t noise cancelling headphones so do expect some sound leakage. The degree of noise isolation they offer is better than on-ears and about right for their over-ear design. You won’t experience too much embarrassment from others hearing your guilty-pleasure songs or too much irritation from external noise interrupting them.

Despite being on the larger side, these headphones fold up into themselves fairly neatly, making them extremely convenient to carry around. Trust us when we say you’re not likely to slide it all the way up very often. Performance and featuresLightweight, comfortable, and intelligently designed with no wires visible unless in folded-down position, and even then, they're in a protective channel and very well-designed. Like the Hesh 3, the Crusher Wireless’s tone also tends to emphasise the high frequency noise introduced by the headphones’ electronics and/or wireless signal. However, it’s less noticeable here than in the Hesh 3, which is slightly surprising as these headphones have even more treble energy.

First pair of headphones that have changed my perspective on the world and made me reconsider what I believed to be true since my first pair of Ink'd Wired ear buds about two decades ago!I also find the Crusher more comfortable than the Hesh 3. Where the smaller pair has a tendency to clamp down on your earlobes, making them sore after a while, the Crusher have just slightly more room for your ears.
