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's Crusher wireless headphones are comfortable, fun and offer an excellent battery life for a reasonable price. Though they’ll appeal most to bass-lovers who’ll enjoy playing with the haptic slider, they also offer fairly well-rounded if slightly bass-heavy sound for those looking for more balance. As long as you don't push it too far up the adjustable bass and vibrations also make these fun headphones for movie watching and playing action-oriented video games. We Disliked Wait momentarily after plugging the headphones in , occasionally it takes a few seconds to begin charging . The positioning of the control buttons on the rear of the ear cups makes sense in terms of neatness but they’re quite flat so you have to run your finger along them to try and find the right one, which can increase the amount of time it takes to control your music. 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.

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. 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. Equalizers & Hearing Modes: Can be turned on/off or selected to meet your changing noise environment and listening preferences. When charging the device, we recommend using a cable, charger , or outlet with a power output that does not exceed 18-Watt (5 Volts/3.6amps). The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless are solid mid-price wireless headphones. But only as long as you completely ignore their reason to exist.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. The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless have plenty of energy, the soundstage is reasonably wide and there’s more to the mids than an amorphous mass. Although when rendering vocals, the treble does take on much of the responsibility for detail and texture thanks to their greater presence. 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.

Finding the ideal point to keep the bass slider is a process of trial and error but you're unlikely to move it past the halfway mark after the first attempt. 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. 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. Correction to Push Notification request on Android operating systems 12 and lower. Improvements to Crusher Evo and Crusher ANC connectivity. They’re not the most expensive looking headphones, but they feel sturdy enough for everyday use. We just wish the plastic wasn't as much of a fingerprint magnet as it is.Lightweight, 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.
