About this deal

Wait momentarily after plugging the headphones in , occasionally it takes a few seconds to begin charging . 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! 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.

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. From a glance the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless look similar to the Skull Candy Hesh 3. They are actually rather different, with a bulkier, brasher appearance that retains a little more of the classic Skullcandy design DNA. They still fold-up to take up less space, though.

Slappppy-almost assaultive-thump with evenly matched, richly clear high-tone vocals and energetically articulated mids 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.

Despite being on the larger side, these headphones fold up into themselves fairly neatly, making them extremely convenient to carry around. 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 The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless look more sophisticated than their predecessors. Where the old model looked like a pair of ear defenders, these are much closer to a standard pair of stylish street 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.

That’s a lot of responsibility for three buttons to bear and sometimes it can be frustrating. 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 treble is very prominent too. When the haptic bass is used, it doesn’t get lost completely. This is likely the idea. Treble is a little brittle, a little unrefined, but not hugely sibilant or harsh. If, however, you do like bass – and we mean that heavy bass you hear in clubs and get from subwoofers – or you just like playing around with your audio then you’ll may enjoy these headphones. At the very least you’ll find them to be a lot of fun. Design For some more specialist pairs, take a look at our guides to the best wireless headphones and the best noise-cancelling headphones. 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.Rapid charge delivers 4 hours of listening with just 10 minutes of charge, and a full charge provides 40 hours of audio. This is especially frustrating because similarly priced headphones such as those released by Marshall and UrbanEars have managed to do more convenient multi-functionality with a single button or touch pad. 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. 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.
