Crusher ANC 2

I was searching around for a decent Bluetooth Music/Gaming headset. Mostly for music while i travel. I have some Sony C700 Ear Buds, they are great but I dont want to risk losing them on travel. Almost happened a few times. I was going to opt for the Sony WH-1000XM4. I know they are really good, but didnt want to drop $350 on them and I dont need the mic input. These Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 happened to go on sale twice, luckily the 2nd time on a payday for once!!! YAY!!! Got them for around $120 instead of the $230. I have been skeptic about Skullcandy products for a long time because I kept seeing them only as the budget brand at Airports and some local stores. To my surprise they came out of that niche area and made a big name for themselves. I was a little worried as some reported the case was missing and the headset seemed used. I made sure to verify before making the purchase that it was straight from Amazon. When they arrived I was happy everyone was sealed and CIB. The headset fits comfortably and I often forget that im wearing them. Its been about 3 days since ive had them. The pictures make them seem a bit larger than they actually are in person. I have medium sized ears and these fit perfectly over them. This current session at the time of writing this, ive had these on for about 10 hours straight, jumping around between listing to music, watching a show and playing video games. My ears and my head do not hurt from long term use like most headsets tend to do. The padding is very comfortable. Audio quality is a lot better than I ever expected it to be. For Bluetooth, you usually have an above average quality compared to most RF receiver headsets. Im simply blown away with how clear, strong and deep the audio comes through. Crusher - Deep Bass feature. You want Deep Bass ACTION in your audio. This is the headset for you. The Crusher control is beyond insanity, its like having twice or 3 times the bass of Dolby Atmos in a movie theatre but wrapped around your ears. Crank it just 1/3 of the way, youll literally feel the ear cups vibrating from the bass, and its not even uncomfortable. At 1/2 way its practically an ear massager if youre watching an action movie or playing an action video game. Though at 100% Crusher, I think its a bit much as it drowns out the rest of the audio, but it may be good for something I have yet to listen to. ANC 2 - (Audio Noise Cancelling) kills about 90% of the ambient sound around you. You can barely hear your own inner vocals as you talk, thats how good it is. Battery - It came in charged at 50%. Didnt take long to charge to 100%. So using this from a full charge for 10 hours straight, ive consumed 20% battery life. So this is very accurate to the 50 Hour Capacity from a full charge. Skull-IQ App - Just like any other bluetooth companion app, it does what it needs to do. Allows for adjusting settings and updating the firmware. Bluetooth - I had issues off the bat at first when connecting to my Laptop. Nothing was found to identify the Connecting, disconnected, connected, disconnected, repeating issue. What I found was that this headset doesnt like any other Audio accessories that also use Bluetooth. So they both fight for who is in charge. I had my Turtlebeach 6000 Gen 2 receiver in my USB so they were fighting each other. Removed the receiver and resynced the SC Crushers to the bluetooth. Once i figured that out, no issues from that. However my one annoyance that I never encountered with any other Bluetooth headset is that this headset will cut all audio from the source thats primarily active (i.e. the game on my laptop) and play the notification or audio from my phone only. Once thats done, there is like 3-4 seconds of dead air before it swaps back to my games audio. Ive not experienced that with my Sony C700's. It just quiets the audio on one source temporarily. Overall these will be great for (still good for other categories but might hinder the experiences for something like Country Music wouldnt go well with this headset) - Music - Dance, Hip-Hop, R&B, RAP, Rock, Metal, POP. Movies - Action, Ambient / Atmospheric, Horror Gaming - Action, Ambient / Atmospheric, Horror, Music based, Fighting. I highly recommend the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2. 9.2/10

I picked these up after I wanted to upgrade my old pair. I already had a pair of Skullcandy and never had an issue. Why mess with success? So I picked these up. First and foremost. I can't believe I waited this long to pick them up. I am kicking myself. Everything about them is perfect. The carrying bag is a nice touch. It has a soft velvet interior carry bag that clips closed. I got rid of it for a ridged case. I carry them in a backpack when not in use so I didn't want them to break. Features: The folding portions are great. Makes them super compact. They take up almost no space in my work bag, even in the case. They feel very solid and well built. The style is great. They look as good as they sound and feel. I prefer function over style but, doesn't hurt. The noise canceling. What can I say? It works amazing. I take a commuter train so it's nice to cancel out the sounds of a train and people. One button push and you are in your own world. The only downside is keeping an eye out. I have missed my stop a couple times because I didn't heat them announce my stop. Doh! Just press the button again and you are able to hear most of what's going on around you. You just need to listen if you have something coming up. The ear cushions are great. They are extremely comfortable and soft. The sound: The sound is excellent. I love metal and punk. The vocals come theough crystal clear. It sounds like Corey Taylor is singing right next to me. The bass boost is cool but I really don't use it much. Every low note comes through great. Battery: I have an hour ride each way 5 days a week. I can go almost 3 weeks without charging. I usually top it off every couple weeks just in case the train breaks down and I'm stuck for a while. Connection: Connects very fast and have nver lost Bluetooth. Overall: See my first paragraph. I should have bought these years ago! If these ever break, die, get lost, etc I'm going to buy another set.

These headphones are FUN. They have so much range with the dedicated bass driver, you can crank it or keep it easy. They sound great, and with a little EQ from the app they sound perfect. Battery life is also unreal - they really last forever. I love these headphones, but I have to nitpick a few things that annoy me: 1. The audio feedback when clicking buttons and moving the crusher dial are dumb. They are slightly delayed and too loud which feels "cheap", and makes it hard to hear the impact of the setting you changed. it would be nice if they allowed you to turn off the audible feedback when clicking buttons or spinning the dial. 2. The ear pads take some getting used to - they are very firm compared to my boes QC35s. They are very comfortable once you leave them on for a bit. 3. The app is a bit janky, but it does the job. I don't have to use it often. It seems like the app has a more accurate reading of the battery life than what is reported to my iphone.

Love these headphones. Sounds quality is excellent and charge lasts a long time. I travel with these and they have good noise canceling. I can sleep on the plane now thanks to the ANC. Lasted 20 hrs on plane sleeping with ANC on, watching movies on phone, airline movies, playing games, and listening to music. Also, the AUX cable worked perfectly on airplane sound port. No ear fatigue either. Works great at the gym and sweating doesn't seem to cause any issues. My only negative is the size. I wish they were a little thinner and lighter.

These are awesome headphones. I use them nearly every day for work meetings. The noise canceling is great and the microphone picks up my voice with no trouble. I also use them when I am on the zero-turn mower which is very loud, and I can still hear the music while cutting the grass because of the noise canceling technology. The bass is incredible and the sound is top notch. Way better than you are going to get with any earbuds. The top of the headphones has a nice pad to not annoy the top of your head.

Been using these headphones at the gym for 6 months now. Here are my pros & cons. Pros: long battery life amazing sounding bass overall good quality overall good sound Cons: noise cancelation is really bad I honestly wouldn't pay more than $130 for these headphones (at time of purchase they were $239.99, but on sale for $130). any more than that and I would say it's not worth it.

First these are great headphones. Easy to use buttons, noise cancelling is turned on/off with a flick of a switch, very comfortable to wear long term (as in several hours straight multiple times a day). Very adjustable (I have a big head and they aren't tight/awkward). The only issue is requires special applications to be used with WebEx/Cisco Finesse to answer calls from the headset which may or may be a problem depending on your IT dept at work. I managed a work around using a Bluetooth mouse controller app on my phone. I position the cursor where the answer button will pop up and then I can just open the app and click to answer. The range of the Bluetooth is incredible (better than my Bose or Galaxy earbuds by far.) Haven't gone upstairs or into the basement, but zero problems on the same floor as my laptop even with doors closed or standing with my fridge between me and the laptop. Battery life is great, I'm on the phone a lot (both work laptop and personal cell as it pairs with both simultaneously and even let us answer one while using the other) and have never gone below 50%.

I'm usually very skeptical when it comes to headphones. This is because of how picky I am about the different criteria, be it the price, the sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfort. When it comes to these, there is an overwhelming amount of positives. The headphones are sleek, and the sound quality is amazing, and don't even get me started on how amazing the bass is. For anyone who loves blasting bass busted music, these are a must have! The noise cancellation is perfect too, there are instances where I didn't even hear anyone talk to me, with the music turned off, so if that is your main priority, these headphones are perfect for that. I have worn them to the airport quite a few times, and they have served well in blocking out the sounds of the engine whirring and chatter. So on those fronts, they are absolutely perfect. As I had originally bought them to wear to the gym as well, I will say a small complaint would be how they fit. They are relatively comfortable, to where they don't give you headaches from being on too tight, which also leads to the fact that they tend to slide down just the smallest bit. So if you intend to do some quick movements with them, be prepared for some slight movement on the headphones part as well. This could be due to my head size/shape, but it is something that I noticed. It isn't drastic enough to where I am worried about losing them, but there are moments I have to readjust them just to prevent them from sliding off my head (especially with quick movements). If you intend to take them to the gym, keep in mind the leather will collect sweat, but due to the material they are very easy to clean. I will mention that if you are an earring wearer, my ears do hurt from the headphones from time to time, but it isn't anything manageable, so I would still recommend them. I've worn these pretty much every day since I purchased them during the 2024 Black Friday sale on Amazon, and their quality hasn't worsened, at least to my knowledge. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for high quality headphones with amazing audio quality.

Otroligt snabb frakt, Två dagar. Och man får verkligen ett stort leende när man lyssnar på musik i lurarna.

after 6 months of use my bass crown is not work i cant turn down the bass using crown. i have to do it in app. beside that the sound quality n bass is good .

Legit

Best Bass and sound you will ever get on a pair of headphones. Bluetooth and wired connections incorporated. Long lasting rechargeable battery. Can pair to multiple items simultaneously: Listen to YT or music and have it pause automatically when your phone rings so you can answer clearly thru the headset. Noise Cancelling on/off + Stay Aware on: it lets you listen to what is happening around you thru the microphone while continuing to operate whatever you were listening to. Voice control activation of settings. Skull IQ app to set-up the settings to your liking: EQ, button functions, Personal sound, Hearing modes, etc... If you are the type of person that likes the windows to shake in your car or home , the Crusher settings can literally make you feel you are rattling your brain! These are the best comfortable headphones you can get, with nice cushioned pads and great controls. I completely recommend these headphones!!!

Faccio questa recensione dopo poco più di 6 mesi di utilizzo e devo dire che mi trovo benissimo, ho provato le cuffie in diverse situazioni: 1) per la musica sono eccezionali per alcuni generi, ovviamente parliamo di brani con bassi preponderanti è qua che danno il meglio, il sistema detto crush è pazzesco, puoi regolarlo con una semplice rotella e sembra di avere un sub nelle orecchie e di quelli potenti, per generi più "melodici" per così dire, si perde forse qualcosa agli alti e medi, però assicuro che anche per musica rock sono eccezionali, basso e batteria si sento come mai prima d'ora. 2) provate con film collegate dirette alla tv con il Bluetooth e anche qua è nuovamente una esperienza difficile da paragonare, per film d'azione in cui ci sono spari, esplosioni, motori di auto e moto, sembra di essere letteralmente al cinema con quei bassi che ti entrano dentro il petto, fanno letteralmente vibrare tutta la testa in certe situazioni. 3) videogame sempre collegate diretta alla tv, come per i film vale lo stesso discorso, titoli più action né guadagnano, giocare ad un cod piuttosto che un assassin's creed, cambia totalmente l'esperienza, tutto diventa più immersivo e pieno, purtroppo per dovere di cronaca, non si possono collegare dirette alla ps5 e utilizzare quindi l'audio 3d (peccato) ma su pc vanno bensimmo. La batteria è praticamente infinita, non ho mai verificato se siano veramente 50/60 ore come dicono, ma penso proprio che ci si avvici molto. La cancellazione del rumore è totale, sia per il fatto che avvolgono benissimo le orecchie e sia per la cancellazione attiva dei rumori, non si sente assolutamente nulla dei rumori esterni. Le chiamate sono buone si sente bene, nulla di superlativo, ma va bene così non sono fatte per quello. Buono il fatto di poterle collegare a 2 dispositivi contemporaneamente. L'unico contro riscontrato è il non poter scegliere l'assistente vocale, c'è solo il suo ed è in lingua inglese, peccato ma non indispensabile. Anche la costruzione è buona, di qualità le ho trovate leggere per la topologia di cuffie e anche i cuscinetti non scaldano troppo e non premono, sono molto comode. In buona sostanza ho dato 5 stelle perché per l'utilizzo che ne faccio sono TOP.
