Purchased these headphones as a Christmas gift to my college son. He loves them!

Amazing product and amazing sound quality plus they are very comfortable.

Petty great sounding headphone. I usually use earbuds for workouts but these definitely help make it more exciting to workout.

My grandson's eyes opened wide when he opened his gift. It didn't take him long to put them on and have a blast!

The best gym headphones ever owned if you plan on working out I’d recommend buying these

Sounds amazing you can turn up base great listening and makes you feel the song

Great sound and easy to use. My husband loves them

Couldn’t be happier with performance of these, would definitely suggest

I loved the bass but I did find it slightly uncomfortable. It’s very customizable and really loved the sound but wasn’t for me since it slips off at the gym. Still great for at home use or basic uses.

This is my review of the SkullCandy Crusher 540 Active XT Wireless Over-ear Headphones, upon which I rate at 5 out of 5 stars. Out of the box, these headpones come with a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable, a carrying bag, instructions, and a quick-start guide. From first impressions I like these headphones as they are foldable and fit nicely as to pack and carry on the go to the gym or other activities. The battery is rated for playtime up to 40hrs and allows a 10min quick charge providing 4hrs of playback. The over the ear breathable ear cushions allow to absorb sweat as to not slip of your head and are noise isolating, but not noise canceling. As for the headphone operation, it has a Skullcandy app to allow access to the equalizer for settings of music, podcasts, and movies. There is also a personal sound customization test as to tailor the sound output based upon your hearing capabilities. Lastly in the app is a link to a Tile app that may be installed on your smartphone as to locate your headphones with its built-in Tile finding technology. The buttons on the headphones are well laid out and big as to easily locate. On the left ear is the power button/bluetooth paring button, below that having an amazing base control providing multisensory bass. Below that is the USB-C jack and below that the 3.5mm jack. On the right ear is the volume up/track forward button, a play/pause button including call answer/end, and volume down/previous track button. As for use and playback, the headphones fit well over your ears along with a padded headband. As with the description of the buttons in the previous paragraph, I find all the buttons easy to locate and operate. There is no app needed to access any special feature that cannot be found as a physical button except for the equalizer. I did reference that the bass on these headphones is adjustable with the sliding switch and are "Multi-Sensory". This means not just the level of bass can be adjusted but also the physical thumping /vibration of the ear cushions. To take these out for a test, I picked one of my favorite pop artists having a bass-ey back-track. WOW, I was blown away with the amount of bass and vibration I was experiencing. This brings these active headphones to a new level. I can see them putting a couple extra step or reps in your workout. I highly suggest you run, don't walk, to pick up a pair of these headphones to compliment your active lifestyle. I hope you enjoyed reading my review and it helped in your purchasing decision.

Best headphones for bassy music. Literally the heaviest bass I've ever tried out of all brands.

Watching a movie is a blast. Makes you part of the action

Nice product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The app customized sound is incredible! Tried three different Crusher styles and these were by far the best.

These headphones are if not my favorite brand of of headphones i will ever repurchase these have gotten me through some rough times in school.

With the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active you have to take the good with the bad. Let's start with the aesthetic and build quality. These headphones are unassuming. Nothing flashy, just a simple design that fits into a basic aesthetic, and that's not a bad thing. They are lightweight, comfortable, and decently made. The feel isn't what I would call luxurious or premium, but they are far from cheap or fragile. One thing I really appreciate are the controls. The buttons are easily distinguishable due to the convex and concave differences in design, which makes track and volume changes really easy. The bass slider, while somewhat niche, is a nice touch. A song comes on where you want a little more or less bass? No problem, just move the slider. Connections are easy and stable. I've had no issues with dropped Bluetooth connections. Pairing is simple and straightforward. I paired this with a MacBook Air M3, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. Sound quality is decent. Bass is deep, highs are clear and crisp, and mids are easily distinguishable. I watched YouTube, played music on Spotify, and listened to audiobooks all with better than average results. Audiophiles will find plenty to complain about, but for average, everyday users the sound quality should be more than sufficient. These headphones allow a LOT of ambient sounds in, especially at low volume levels. Listening in a quiet room or area is actually quite nice. However, using these in a room where there is conversation, tv, or other noises can be distracting. I found myself having to increase the volume more than normal to help drown out other sounds. As mentioned, the headphones are comfortable even with 1+ hours of wear. You don't completely forget you're wearing them, but they do somewhat disappear from existence. The ear cups are breathable and fit well over the ear. The band over the head hasn't seemed to push or cause discomfort. Battery life is stellar. I think 40+ hours is advertised, and I'd say that's about right. Over the course of a week, with 2 to 3 hours of use each day, I had about 25% battery remaining. An area where I'm not impressed is the accompanying app. While I didn't take away any of the "star" rati g on this review for the app, it is worth mentioning. There is something Skullcandy calls Personal Sound in the app, which optimizes audio levels to your unique hearing. Does it work? Eh, I think there was some difference before vs after, but I would not say it was anything impactful. The biggest miss to me is the equalizer, or lack thereof. Yes, there is an equalizer, but it has only 3 presets for music, podcast, and movie, but no personalization. So if you're looking to really fine tune your audio experience you're going to be disappointed. This is a big miss for me. So overall I would have given the Crushers a 3.5 star rating, but that's not an option. They're comfortable, produce average to decent sound, and have excellent battery life. As long as you can deal with minimal customization and potential ambient noise distractions, these might just fit the bill.
