Skullcandy Crusher ANC Personalized Noise Canceling Wireless Headphone - Black
- I bought these headphones to replace the original Wireless crushers I bought a few years back. These headphones are the most base intensive headphones I\'ve ever owned. One review I saw compared the base from these headphones and compared them to being kicked in the head by a mule, he was not wrong. The packaging is understated and well thought out the headphones come with a hard shell case usb-c charging cable headphone jack cable and the headphones themselves. The fit and finish of this unit is impressive. I bought the black headphones and they are understated slick and look very nice. While these headphones are heavy they are not prohibitively so. The clamp Force on my head is nice I do not worry about these headphones falling off as I do yard work or work out. The noise canceling is decent. While they are not as active as the Bose qc2 these headphones block out a lot of the Ambient sound. With sound canceling on I do not feel like I\'m in a tunnel or have the pressure effect often associated with active noise canceling. My listing environment is noisy as my house is on a busy road and my Aquarium produces a fair bit of sound. The filter noise from my aquarium is all but locked out however I can still hear dripping sounds from the filters. In addition when the ANC is on there is an audible hiss similar to a cassette tape. This hiss is not noticeable when sound from music or other media is played back through this headset. I do not find the hiss annoying but it is sad that Skullcandy couldn\'t work around this issue.The first thing I did after opening the package was turn on the headphones and paired them with my tablet. Pairing mode is very simple and quick and I had no problems with playback. I opened up YouTube and played a song by the Black Eyed Peas with the bass turned all the way up. Let me tell you that was an experience. After listening to the song I played around with the base slider and found that songs that already have a lot of bass don\'t need a lot of help from these headphones and I turn the base slider down near to the bottom. Songs however that don\'t have a lot of bass I was able to have the slider up much higher and found it to be a very enjoyable experience. I played Pachelbel\'s Canon in D with piano and cello and found with the base turned up I was able to hear the low notes on the piano and found that it sounded like a live performance what I mean is the haptic base vibrations made the piano feel as if it was in the room with me. I then listened to a few tracks that I really like from Mannheim Steamroller and Kurt bester playing with with the bass slider to find the best sound environment. Listening to music with these headphones is dynamic and Rich and I found myself becoming emotional while listening to favorite tracks. Other reviews complain about the mids and the highs not being reproduced well however I prefer these headphones to my Bose qc2 for music. The reason being I can adjust exactly how much bass I want in my music. While there is an app that helps the user customize their listening preferences I found I did not need to do so. While the Bass on these headphones is haptic meaning there is a mechanical vibration that activates with low frequencies the effect is like having a subwoofer moving air in the listening environment. The haptic Bass as well as the low register from the earphones themselves makes music come alive. Most people are saying that this headset is only for bass heads, but those people are missing the point of this headphone. Sure the user can turn the bass up all the way and make their teeth rattle and it\'s kind of fun to do that once in awhile, the reality is this headset allows the user to customize their listening preferences in a way that is unavailable from any other headset. I find the reproductions of the high and the mid-range to be decent bright and clear and with the bass slider I can customize and have full control of exactly how much Bass I want while listening to music.I recorded this review using the microphone on the headphones. I found that my voice sounded natural and not muted as one would expect from ANC monitor headphones. Having the microphone built in is a nice touch. I think these would be great for playing games even though there is not a boom mike like most gaming headphones this shows a boom mic is not necessary when playing games. This partly justifies the price of this headset as it can be used for gaming phone calls and for listening to music. Additionally this headset comes with the tile feature built in. If you are worried about losing your headphones or leaving them at the coffee shop or not being able to locate them which was the case for my original crushers and necessitated the replacement, the tile feature will help you locate where your headphones are and works very well.While this headset is not for everyone I find it is quickly becoming my go-to headset. The only downside is this headset went on sale the day after I ordered it. I did contact Amazon only to find that they no longer guarantee lowest price and I was out of luck. This is not acceptable when one considers the price of Amazon Prime and soured the experience when buying these headphones.In conclusion I would recommend these headphones for anyone who wants an immersive sound experience. Not only is the build quality the fit and finish and feel of these headphones impressive, they\'re also feature rich with app support and support for the tile feature built in this is a good choice for those who use headphones and are looking for an immersive experience.
- Look, the sound quality is not audiophile level, the build quality is on the upper end of average, but not spectacular. The controls work well, for the most part, and the noise cancellation is noticeable, but not on par with Sony, Apple or Bose. Where these excel is fun. I dont know how many coworkers I\'ve had try these things and they always have the biggest grin. These headphones won\'t blow you away or change your life, but they will make you laugh. Whether that\'s worth 3 bills is up to you, but I enjoy them.
- Love EDM?! Body vibrating BASS?! Want to feeeeel the music? These headphones are made for you! The haptic bass is really something else, nothing like it outside of these headphones. Even the Skullcandy Crusher Evo\'s don\'t get as bassy - I know, I tried both side by side for days. I also bought and tested the Sony WM-1000XM4. Here are my thoughts of all 3 models:Skullcandy Crusher ANC:Pros- Deeper, most powerful bass of all. Haptic bass knob is awesome, your head will be vibrating HARD.- Excellent music quality across highs, mids, lows.- Most comfortable. Love the plush top band. For smaller heads, fits great!- Call quality is excellent. Tested with my husband and he said it sounded like I was there.- Deep red color is SO COOL.- $199 price-point is way more affordable than Sony WM-1000XM4. Only $50 more than Evo for better bass and more comfort.Cons- ANC causes a hum, even when ANC is off, so listening to podcasts or acoustic music is meh.- ANC is kind of weak. Works better for noises like airplanes vs human voices.- The adjustable headband is not as tight as the Evo, it opens up a bit when you hold from the top. But it doesn\'t affect anything once you put on the headphones.Skullcandy Crusher Evo:Pros- Tight build, variety of colors. Light grey was really slick, a bit more grey than the images show on Amazon.- Very good sound overall for the $149 price. Bass was solid. No humming when music is off.- Longer battery life than both other models, but no ANC at all.Cons:- Headband padding is plastic and SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. Gave me a headache after just a few minutes.- Haptic bass is nowhere as broad in range as the ANC. At 100%, it was where ANC is at 25%. To me, I wanted more vibration and bass with many songs. But, I\'m a total bass-head.Sony WM-1000XM4:Pros- Best-in-class ANC. Blocks out a lot of external noises.- Good quality, well-rounded sound. 360-degree sound was fancy.- Nice build, cool touch-based controls vs the Skullcandy\'s physical buttons.Cons- Bass is NOT IMPRESSIVE. This is not for Bassheads. It is more about balanced sound, even at 100% bass in EQ, there was almost no vibration.- NOT for smaller heads. I\'m a 5\'3 woman, my husband has a smaller head for a guy too. It didn\'t fit either of us! That alone was a deal-breaker.- Super pricey - $350!! That\'s $150 more than the Skullcandy ANC, if ANC is your only priority then OK, fine, get the Sonys. But be OK with a very meh bass.To sum it all up:The Evo and ANC Skullcandy Crushers are both awesome for Bass, but for $50 more with the ANCs you get way more comfort and way more haptic bass. The buzzing on the ANCs is the only real negative I found, oh well... The Evo\'s headband is so hard and plastic-ee I couldn\'t stand it.The Sony wm-1000xm4 didn\'t have a stand-out bass. No haptic vibrations. And they were huge, too large for my head. ANC was epic, but that\'s not my end goal, I want out of this world bass, comfort, and great phone call quality.Skullcandy Crusher ANC checked the most boxes for me, the Bass is INSANE, you\'ll LOVE IT if you\'re into Electronic music, Hip Hop, even Hard Rock. Microphone is amazing for calls too. ANC is kind of weak, but its not my priority so oh well, it works so-so. These headphones are fun, comfy, stylish and did I mention DAT BASS?!?! :D
