Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've nearly had these things for two years now. They're been put under heavy use, approximately 8-10hrs/ 6days a week. The sound quality is great, no complaints here. For the first 10 months or so I would have given 5 stars. That's when the trouble started. A small bit of plastic chipped away that held the hinge of the folding earmuffs in place. This resulted in the earmuff to start falling out of the hinge and dangling from the wire that fed into it. I started trying to use it by slipping the headphone back into the hinge but it wouldn't stay for long, eventually resulting in the plastic on the other side of the folding mechanism eventually giving way. At this point I had to duct tape the muff in place just to continue trying to use them. Two years in and this has happened to both sides. There is very little holding the folding portion of the muffs in place and I feel that at the very least this should small bit of plastic around the pivot point should be reinforced or made of stronger material in future models. I purchased the best buy protection on these thankfully and hopefully can get a replacement shortly, we'll see. Either way, they have made countless hours at work more bearable. Since they weren't a complete flop, I'd say they are halfway to golden, 3 stars.

While these headphones have good sound, they have a gimmicky feature where you can artificially add additional bass to your music with a sliding switch. After using the bass boosting feature to many genres of music (pop, electronic, folk, metal, indie, rap) I can say that it is pretty useless. Pushing the slider past 1/3 of the way will distort the song heavily. The distortion ruins the music and I hate it. If your looking for a decent wireless headset to drown outside noise, these are a good fit if you can get them on sale.

Skull Crusher offers everything you have come to know about the brand with little to no change. And while the audio is of decent quality, no new features seem to have been added to the latest Crusher line. So out of the box you get everything you need to get you started and setup takes less than five minutes. So first thing i wanted to note was that as of writing this review there is currently no app feature for the 3.0 wireless. The app connects to the head set but in big bold words clearly lets me know "There are no additional features or add ons for the Crusher 3.0 through the app." Im sure over time this may change but do note that as of writing this review there is no current way to access a equalizer or change any kind of audio output. All changes have to be made through the headphone frame via volume up/down button, power button, and a bass slider that allows you to ramp up the bass. And while i understand this is a basic entry level set, i feel basic commodities, like app features should be a given. Moving on, the headset does collapse and make for ease of storage while on the go. And speaking of the bass slider, off on the left ear piece is a slider you can move up or down for bass control. And how strong is the bass? Lets just say it'll rattle your brain in your skull. You can literally feel the vibrations off the speaker and sound waves as they hit your ear. Audio has decent output and the drivers seem to do a good job even with the bass at max volume. The break in period sucked due to how rigid the frame and ear cups are. After a few hours of use the headset become more comfortable to use. One thing i did want to mention was that the ear cups barely covered my ears completely and im not that big of a guy. Just something to note in case you are of a larger stature. Over all this not a bad head set by any means so don't mistake my 3 star for making you not want to get it. The reason i gave it a average score is because it is literally a average headset. There is no break through tech. There is currently no app functionality to pair it with, and with that being said there is no access to audio settings. And while i know and understand that Skullcandy will fix it with future updates, at the end of the day its still the same old Skullcandy you have come to know with nothing break through. If your not a audiophile and lean more towards an emphasis for bass, then this is your go to. If your looking for something affordable to get you by, this is perfect. But if you nitpick everything little sound bite and spend 30 minutes just getting your EQ right, then this is gonna be a hard pass.

I really want to love these headphones. I've had them for over a year now and I'm a bit disappointed. While they are a good value for their price point, there are a few areas that could use improvement. Sound quality is decent and the comfort level is pretty good over the ear. However, for extended listening, the headband tends to get uncomfortable after a while and the dang Bluetooth just has fits and starts consistently connecting to my laptop. It connects pretty quickly to my iPhone 12, but it just doesn't consistently recognize my computer and when working that gets quite annoying. Battery life seems good but there isn't much of a warning when it's low, it just stops working. The gauge that pops up when you adjust the volume or pause the device using the headphones seems to perpetually stay at 60% regardless. While it may sound like this is mostly negative, they have been sturdy and well constructed. They fold nicely and store in their pouch well and I appreciate the cord to connect when the battery is done, and that it doesn't take too terribly long to recharge. Would love to purchase again if these updates could be addressed.

Bass is, as they promise, bass that you can feel. That’s about all there is. The sound quality is not great and the construction material feels cheap. One thing I did love about them, super extra long battery life! 40hrs before having to charge them! I think no other headphones can deliver battery life like this. Ear cushions started peeling after about six months and before the first year was due they snapped off on one of the sides where they fold at (black plastic material started getting white as if the plastic was rotting). I take super good care of them, only used them for short sessions of gaming and movies (So always at home), never pulled hard, never got them wet and always stored them back in the bag that came with them. Thankfully, they have a two year warranty, so I shipped them back to them and they sent me a brand new pair. Gotta say, service was great and way faster than I expected in this pandemic state that we’re in. Price is good. Not super expensive, not super cheap. But I have to say, I bought myself a pair of Sony wired extra bass earphones (I can’t remember the model) for $50, and the sound quality on those feels simply superior. Overall, this is not a purchase that I regret, they’re a good experience and affordable, but if you’re looking for the best sound and material quality, these wouldn’t be the Best Buy.

The pluses here are that it's really easy to control the volume, it has an extra bass feature and the battery last a long time. It also fits snugly on my small head. My only real complaint is that I can't travel too far from the source before the signal starts to scramble. Finally, the price is great. I bought $400 Seinheissers that had really good distance, but it didn't fit that well too long and the ear piece fell off after 5 months of use.

These headphones were a whole new experience for listening to music while they lasted. I've only had them for a little over 2 months. Despite using them on a daily bases paying 180$, at the time, you'd expect there advertised feature to last longer than 2 months. The bass slider on mine are broken and I've never dropped them or gotten them wet. Turning up and down the bass slider makes ZERO difference in any song anymore when the difference was extremely noticeable. I have been putting off reviewing them because I wasn't 100% sure if they had broken them or if I had simply gotten used to the bass, however one of my friends owns the same pair and there is a massive difference between mine and his. That being said I never thought I could enjoy music in such a way before. If you like bass like me these are perfect. I haven't found any other people with the problem of their bass slider not working so I probably got unlucky. They still function as very nice and comfortable headphones, but I bought them for the bass and can no longer return them. I did buy the damage warranty from geek squad for 2 years so hopefully they can fix it. If you want bass that will blow your mind and don't mind spending extra for an extended warranty these are for you. If you want something reliable without needing to spend extra on a warranty these are not for you.

Great sound don’t get me wrong but the quality of this product is so bad they should be ashamed. The hinges will be the first thing to break I’m telling you. I even ordered replacements and they broke at this point I’m done. Don’t buy these head phones if you want to use them for long term use. Waste of money. If anything save your Money and get the new ones you’ll thank me later.

Ok, so these are the best sounding headphones for the cost period! I have tried all, big and small. These are far better than Bose and less than half the cost. Incredible bass and control of the bass level easily accessed on the ear piece. Bluetooth connection is solid. Sound quality may be great but he build quality is not. These hinge in a way to somewhat collapse them for storage/carry. The problem is that the hinges for the ear pieces are poorly designed and break easily. It tears out the plastic "socket" side of the hinge. Once this happens, there is no reasonable repair. You can reattach them to put on your head but once removed, they will pop apart again. I bought the first one in May of 2018. That December, they broke the hinge. I bought a second unit then (opted for the Geek Squad warranty this time). These broke last week (June 2019). I am really disappointed. I will reach out to Skull Candy to see if they intend on improving the design. For now, I will get them replaced under warranty.

The bass is truly as advertised. Thumping and literally a sound you can feel. Should not purchase if you are trying to not disturb people near by. The sound escapes the ear piece and feels the room. Great battery life. Fairly comfortable fit

The Skullcandy Crusher 3.0 headphones offer some truly unique features, but you will have to compromise in other areas. Overall, they are an interesting set of headphones, but I'm not sure if they would be optimal for daily use. Setting up these headphones was a breeze. Just charge them, pair them with your phone's Bluetooth connection, and you're all set. The controls are very intuitive, with 3 buttons controlling power, pairing, track skipping, and volume, and an adjustable slider used to adjust the haptic bass feedback. As for sound, these actually sound much better than the Skullcandy I remember from years ago. The uncolored sound (with the haptic bass off), is relatively well balanced, with good bass, highs, and pretty good clarity as well. These don't sound like a detailed pair of studio cans, but the sound is good, fun, and engaging. The haptic bass...wow. It really does emulate what it's like to be listening to something with, say, 2 12" subwoofers in the trunk of your car. I really like that you can adjust this feature, to go from over the top, literal head shaking bass, to a more even presentation, like a nice, sealed 10" woofer that's adding the right amount of depth and vibration. This feature is the main selling point of these headphones, and I have to say it is impressive. It's quite shocking that these can run for nearly 50 hours on a charge, considering how "excited" the audio is, with these haptic drivers running. Audio clarity does suffer a bit when the bass is turned up, as it seems to slightly overpower the standard drivers pumping out the rest of the music. I found that these sounded pretty good with streaming content and movies as well, although I typically slid the slider to a lower position when watching things like YouTube. For movies, the extra haptic bass is pretty fun for action scenes and explosions. Despite the good sound and impressive bass, I do wish these headphones were more comfortable to wear. The ear cups do not articulate from side to side, so getting an exact fit is slightly difficult. Also, the ear pad openings are not that large, meaning the ear pads rested on top of my ears, which is never as comfortable as pads that completely surround your ear. Lastly, the adjustment sliders have no notches, and just move freely, meaning you can easily accidentally change where you had them set to. This is something that drives me crazy on headphones, and I really don't understand the rationale of doing it this way. Build quality seems decent, which is evident when examining the wires that run from the headband to the ear cups: they are large gauge wires, and feel robust. The ear pads are soft, squishy, I just wish they were roomier. And I REALLY wish that the ear cups were not fixed in place. This makes it so much harder to get a really good fit on your head, leading to uncomfortable wearing sessions. And that's where my opinion may vary from yours. If these issues don't bother you, I'd say go for it. My opinions are subjective, and when it comes to headphones, many people don't agree on even the basics. Still, I think if a pair of headphones is NOT comfortable, then I will not want to wear them for very long, which is what is happening with the Crusher 3.0. I really want to love these headphones, and based on the sound and haptic bass, I'd give them a 4.5 stars, as there really isn't anything like it on the market. However, due to the issues I experienced, I have to give these headphones 3 stars. Users who don't mind on-ear headphones, with some quirks/issues, may be willing to look past these problems for head shaking bass. If that sounds like you, I'd give these a try!

I bought these headphones mostly for price, comfort, and their aesthetic. However the bass slider with increased bass only works for modern music. I like a lot of older music and it doesn't really pick up the bass right. I hoped it would intensify some of Paul McCartney's bass lines but it just makes a lot of unnecessary vibrating nose. I have kept mine though because of the comfort and insane battery life. Their sound quality without the intensified bass is still good. Sometimes I do have trouble getting them to instantly connect to remembered devices when I power them on.

Pros lots of bass looks good long battery life Cons Horrible build quality these are notorious for braking and getting cracks. Bass is Muddy and the headphones have no equalizer so the more you crank up the bass the worse the other sounds will sound. uncomfortable- for me they feel tight and my average size ears seem a little too big for them.

I only could give these a three star rating we have a great sound great battery great bass but sometimes the Bluetooth connectivity isn’t so great it will be playing in then for no reason stop and you pretty much have to turn your headphones off and your phone off and reboot your phone before your headphones or reconnect if you just turn the headphones off and back on it won’t work. Other than that they’re all right but I think I’d like to go back to a set of Sony‘s the next time I need new headphones.

There are better options out there (cheaper, better sound quality, comfort, etc.) but these fall right down the middle. Not cheap but not expensive with average sound quality. Connects without issue and sustains a connection through workouts (i use it at the gym mostly). The clamping force is pretty strong so those with larger heads might find it too tight. The bass slider provides excessive amounts of bass to and at max makes it unlistenable. I tried adjusting it once but have left it at its lowest setting ever since. One positive is the battery life and charging. Battery life is outstanding and charging is quick.

Not the best quality but they were comfy to wear. The extra bass control was great at lower volumes but after turning them up louder, the sound you get from higher end headphones just isn't there. Brought them back for a pair of Sony which are much better overall.

I have purchased a total of three of this headset model. One for my son, one for myself and one for my husband all at three different times between May 2018 and November 2018. I love the sound with these but the workmanship is crap. All three of the purchases have had to be returned and replaced under the BestBuy warranty because all have fallen apart in the earpiece area. A side on each headset has broken off from the headband part. The plastic that connects them cracks apart and breaks. All have broken within 6 months to a few months over a year from purchase. Because we enjoyed the sound we all opted to replace with the same model. I originally purchased mine May 15, 2018. I took it into the store today August 6, 2019, and replaced it using my warranty. If I get the same quality performance from this replacement I will not be replacing it with another one again I don't care how much I enjoy the sound. Due to this issue, I do not recommend the purchase of this model. I don't know about other Skull Candy products.

The sound is pretty good and bass makes music sound better. Battery life is pretty good and charges fast. Only thing where the headphone fold plastic to weak it broke on both sides.

The sound is great, they are very comfortable, but after 2 years they broke in 3 places. I gorilla taped and glued two places but the third time's a charm and the earpiece came out of the guide and now it's completely useless. For $200 they should not break that easily.

Start of with that the employee told me they were active noise cancelling which they were not. Sound quality is good and battery life is fantastic but the propose for buying was to use them while operating heavy equipment. So if it needing to not here outside nose I would look into other headphones.
