Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unbelievable headphone, I have owned beats studio 2, Jbl E50bt, and sony mbr950xbbt. I also have experience with the bose qc35 and beats studio wireless. These things are absolutely amazing and are by far my favorite headphone, especially if you love bass. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better headphone for bass! Even if you not a basshead these are still great headphones. Build quality is good, they fold, and are very comfortable. Good noise isolation as well.

MY SkullCandy headphones did not last one year. The company keeps loosing my claim. I did not mistreat them and they just broke apart. Cannot recommend this product.

I regret purchasing these. The ear pads fell off within months, and the headphones stopped connecting via bluetooth within months. Very poor quality product. :(

They were great when i first got them. Absolutely loved them. Then after about a week the band started to crack. This happened even after exchanging them. Your better off getting a pair of sonys

They were on special for Christmas and I purchase 2 pair and one of them only works when is plug in with aux cable but doesn’t work on Bluetooth. From December 25 to February 24.

Thought I was getting a deal because they were on sale however just a waste I am disappointed that my protection I purchase didn't apply to the replacement Power beats 3 I replaced them with

I'll keep it simple for everyone reading this and looking for a real review. These are the best bass headphones I've ever heard. The Bluetooth is smooth with no cracking or break ups. If you are into the bass you hear in clubs and subwoofers then these will be perfect for you. I own the Crusher wired, Beats Studio Wireless, and Sony EXTRA Bass headphones...these beat them all overall and they aren't as expensive as other brands. I'll rank them: 1. Crusher Wireless...look good and sound even better. Price is a value compared to other brands. 2. Sony Extra Bass wireless...sound great but look ugly. Cheaper than Beats. 3. Beats Studio wireless...sound pretty good and look the best. These have the least bass but get the loudest overall. Also the most expensive by a mile. 4. Crusher wired...great bass and good sound but ugly and have a wire. Only $99 and the cheapest extra bass headphones out if you want that club sound at a low price. Warning...needs AA battery. To keep this review legit I gotta mention I have NOT tested the range on these. Lastly...I can NOT vouch for build quality. I am very careful with my gadgets and have never broken any headphones and always keep them in the case when not using them.

First I’ll start by saying that these headphones sound fun. Even the most uppity audiophile can have fun with these. The highs and mids are present and well rounded out and the bass can be, well, ear shattering if you want it too. Overall they sound fantastic. They’re not reference headphones so don’t expect that type of detail and separation, but if you’re an average consumer like me, you’ll be happy with the sound these cans produce regardless of your preferred genres. You may have read that the Crusher Wireless is a well-made headphone. I think the metal headband is the culprit for these erroneous perception. Overall, these headphones feel like something that Skullcandy invested 90% of their budget on their sound, 9% on marketing, and 1% on design and materials quality. I’m not saying they look all that bad at a distance. You might find their simplicity aesthetically pleasing at a glance but the devil is in the details. These feel cheap. I’m not saying they’re cheap like they’ll break quickly, they may hold up the test of time, but at close inspection the materials just look and feel shoddy. The small amount of swivel that is given each ear can is made by little plastic tabbed pegs that will obviously wear, if not break over time. The hinge housing is comprised of two pieces of plastic that don’t align well at the seams. The padding in the headband is thinnest where it may contact your head the most, right at the top (I don’t understand this one at all). The ear pads have a bulge on the top of the inner area where the two ends of the fabric is thickly stitched together. This is both ugly and uncomfortable as you can feel the bulge rubbing on your ear. The list goes on. They just look cheap and I’m only complaining about this so much because the price is not cheap. $200 is not cheap. It’s not expensive either, but it’s a price point that should not bring this level of cheapness into the design or materials used in these headphones. The button controls are a mixed blessing of simplicity over function. There are only 3 buttons on these headphones. That’s it, just three to control everything (plus the bass slider of course). But three buttons do it all. They power these on, pairing mode, power them off, skip forward, answer phone calls, hang up phone calls, decrease volume, increase volume, rewind, pause, play. All that function weighing on just three buttons is just too much. In my experience, this is a problem not just with these headphones but any headphone, including high end ones, that attempt to pack too many multi-function buttons into one interface. For example, to skip or rewind on the Crusher Wireless you hold the up or down volume for 3 seconds. I don’t like that. If I want to skip a song, I want to do it now, not 3 seconds from now. Even a double press might be a better option. The list of annoyances with multi-function buttons grows. And this goes for all of you multi-function manufacturers. Stop it. We’re not as dumb as you think we are. Of course, some people love the “simplicity” of multi-function buttons. It seems to be the way things are going. As for me, I like things separate so I can use them precisely when I need them and how I need them. Give me a big volume knob, FF and Rewind, play/pause combo is okay, and a dedicated on/off switch (and, okay, you can incorporate the pairing mode function into the power switch) and if you could add a mute button that would be great. That’s how I like things. But if you’re a fan multi-multi functions then you may love this about the Crusher Wireless. Sound leakage is below average. They pale in comparison to a good pair of in-ear headphones, and they do about as good a job as any on-ear headphones of varying quality. They do leak more than the average closed-back headphone and this may be due to their seemingly poorer build quality. Don’t expect these to keep your coworkers happy if you like to keep your music at 40% or above. Comfort level for any pair of headphones is a very subjective thing so I won’t spend too much time on this, but I think I figured out why these are called the crusher. That’s what they do on me. They crush my head. And they put a lot of pressure on that cranial nerve right below my ear. Coupled with how hot the ear cups get (I think due to low end materials), I am not happy with fit and comfort of the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless headphones. In addition to their undeniably uncomfortable fit, they also produce a low end bouncy sound/vibration in your head if you tap on these, put these on, take them off, wear them while chewing, or just walking around. You won’t necessary hear (of feel) this when you’re listening to music as the audio will drown out the experience. But the haptic bass speakers bounces around in the ear cans and produce a vibration. Now, this doesn’t bother me per se but it is noticeable and it is something that I wish the headphones didn’t have. Now for some of their redeeming values. Bluetooth connectivity is good. And call quality is actually good too. Better than some of the more expensive headphones I’ve recently tried. And Skullcandy achieves this with just one microphone. I don’t know what they did here but it works and it works well. Kudos to Skullcandy for making a good quality headset out of these headphones. The battery life is ridiculously cool. I mean, I tend to be a conservationalist at times and am always switching off my headsets even when I step away for a few moments, but the battery on these lasts so long I’m starting to get lazy and wasteful. Even if I’m taking a long break I don’t worry about leaving the headphones on. (Of course, this may be because I don’t like waiting the 5 seconds it takes to power them on from the single do-it-all-multifunction button when I come back.) Unfortunately, I can’t get them to tell me how much battery is left but my devices do that with a battery indicator. Nevertheless, the battery life is insane on these. And that’s a really cool thing. And lastly, coming back to the sound. Like I said, these sound fun and I continuously forget their discomfort as I get absorbed in great audio from a variety of genres. If anything were to get me to keep these, it’s their audio quality. I’ve been keeping the haptic bass slider down to either barely on to completely off depending on the type of music I’m listening too. I’ve barely used them above say 20% or so. These simply are bass heavy headphones which I like. It’s why I bought them in the first place. I like bass. But it doesn’t mean they dismiss all other frequencies. When I’m listening to metal or jazz, I get plenty of timbre out of the high-hats and cymbals. When I’m listening to vocals I get fulfilling coos out of the baritones and clarity out of sopranos. And when I’m jamming R&B or Hip-Hop, I get plenty of thump, plenty. Too much if you want it, satisfactorily if you don’t via the bass slider. One caveat here. I’ve found that the booming rumble of the haptic bass does get finicky during some songs. It almost cuts in and out as if the crossover technology clips at a specific frequency. It’s hard to explain for a non-audio tech like me but be prepared to experience some unusual bass delivery during some music. So are these good headphones? That’s a tough question. Their audio quality puts them on par with any of the higher priced models that you’ll want to compare them to and I’m certain most people will find their favorite music fun to listen to. But their shortcomings in the design, materials, comfort, and features departments are certainly falling quite short of their $200 price tag. If these were off-brand $60 headphones, they’d certainly be worth their weight in sound, but at 200 clams, they just don’t add up in the value for me. Their price point makes me think that Skullcandy is simply jumping on the “spike in bluetooth headphones sales” bandwagon and threw together a get-it-to-market-as-quick-as-possible model that they could make a quick buck on. But everyone is probably doing that.

Told it had great sound. However, when I got home and connected to my IPhone to listen to my music, I couldn’t hear anything despite cranking the volume up. The music faded out.

This was a christmas gift for our daughter and the head phones never could connect and the listening quality lasted 1 month - no longer works! BOO!

I really liked these headphones but they are the worse on a phone call they have a buzzing noise in the background caused by the Bluetooth went through three headsets and all did the same thing

Don’t purchase Skullcandy products. Had these for just over a year and the foam padding has already come apart. A waste of $150 if you ask me

In the middle of a workout the Bluetooth stopped working. It shows connected I can hear a buzzing sound but no music. They aren’t as loud as I’d hoped for either.

I still think this is the greatest headphones I ever bought! Great quality very comfortable and worth the price! And battery life I use this Monday to Friday for gym purposes and jeez I can go for weeks without need to charge! So definitely If they die at one point I still will buy them again.

Had issues from the start, I thought it's going to work after, but looks like it got worse. Right now they are not turning on at all. I can only use them wired.

I was debating between these, the Beats Solo 3 and the Beats Studio Wireless. First these were less expensive (often go on sale and Best Buy price matches- don't pay full MSRP for the Skullcandy) by over $50 even when the Beats Studio was on a killer sale. The price helped seal deal but the quality of the product and sound of the Crushers are what got me interested in them. The best I can describe these is a mix of the Solo and Studios. These have noise isolation (not cancelling) and will cup your entire ear, not sit on them like the Solos. The Skullcandys are low profile and just a little bigger than the Solos. The sounds on the Crushers are awesome. I was worried the bass would sound fake, it does not. The bass is completely adjustable and even if you are not into bass you can tone it down without compromising the rest of the sound. The equalizer on the iPhone helps pick the right sound you are looking for and then you can crank up the bass. I have not taken a call on them. They are easy to pair and easy to get fired up once paired. No issues with bluetooth connection. The only issue I see with them is they are not as light/low profile as the Solos. I am an active person and while the Skullcandys are pretty low profile I don't think they will work in most active situations. The Crushers will probably do okay lifting weights but no way will they work for cardio. The Solos are a little better at this than the Crushers, but that was never a question because the Solos go on your ear and the Crushers go over- just naturally bigger. The sound is where it is at with these, I doubt there is anything better around the $150-$250 price range and these are on the lower end of the scale. All in all a great value.

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!

Absolutely loved these! I had them for 4.5 years. Anytime I did anything by myself like yard work, house work, out for a run id have these on. They were used everyday since the day i bought them. They did end up breaking while i was cutting down trees and a branch fell on my head. They actually saved me hear from getting hit and, but sadly they broke. They were my favorite and well worth the price. I got new sony ones and they dont feel as durable as these. The noise canceling was really good, but there is better out there now. The bass adjustment was awesome. I listen to tons of different music and sometimes i wanted more bass and sometimes i wanted less. 10 outta 10 for sure. And the color! I havmd the white and tan. Just looked slick

I bought this headphones thinking that it has the great bass feature but it is just an option namesake and is feeling very heavy on top of the head
