Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was in the market for a new pair of headphones after my Beats failed me and I am not disappointed. The first thing I love is the fact that these have up to a 40 hour playtime and adjustable bass. I listen to a lot of different genres so this is important because sometimes all that bass is not needed. They are comfortable enough to where I don’t get that raw ear feeling after wearing them for hours. Another key point about these is you don’t have to go wireless. They come with an six cord that has an in-line mic in case you need or want to plug in. The only advice I’d give is to go with the darker pair. At first I had the creamy tan colored ones but I walk and sweat sometimes with them and was constantly having to clean the cuffs.

I read many reviews on over-the-ear bluetooth headphones, and I went to a few different stores to try some on and compare them. I ended up at Best Buy, and I found myself comparing 4 specific headphones. Skullcandy Crusher ($150) - Sony Extra Bass ($150) - JBL Everest Elite 700 ($225) - Beats By Dre Studio ($248). They were all equally comfortable and they all sounded great. I recently had an expensive Sony car stereo die one month after the 1 year warranty was up, and I'm still a bit sour with the Sony brand....so I passed on the Sony's. As far as the JBL and Beats headphones....they both sound great. But to spend $75-100 more for what I needed and wanted?....that's just not the right way to spend money. I have installed many high end car stereo systems over the past 20 years in my own vehicles, so I've always been very big on sound quality. I believe that I heard all the sound I wanted with the Skullcandy headphones. Plus....the Skullcandy set has an adjustable bass control....which is an added bonus. For me....being able to dial in the perfect amount of low-end is just like being able to adjust the subwoofer in my car to make everything blend just right. Some older recorded music (like Rush) has a lack of bass, and some newer music (like Korn) just needs to be dialed in a touch to smooth out the low to midrange transition. I am very happy with the Skullcandy Crusher headphones....and with the $75+ that I saved....I went online and downloaded 8 MP3 albums. Nice!

The main focus of these headphones is obviously bass. I haven't turned the haptic slider past 1/5th of max and it's plenty. The mids and highs aren't very crisp, but that's not why you're getting these. They are pretty comfortable after wearing them in. They are super tight at first, and I have a narrow head. Due to the tight seal they create, the passive noise cancelling is decent. I can't hear anything when I'm doing dishes. I have to keep one ear out to make sure my kids aren't getting into too much trouble. I don't think they're worth the $200 price, I got mine 50% off. But then again, I'm a cheapskate!

By far the best pair of headphones I've ever had. I'm a bass junkie when it comes to head phones and these beat all my expectations. great sound and astonishing BASS, they literally cause the side of my head and inside of my ears to tingle. And super comfy on the head. I have AUTISM and they have a very nice tight fit. I love the feel. Very very pleased Skullcandy, 2 thumbs up and 5 stars all the way.

They are loud, noise canceling & comfy. I love the bass option & that they are Bluetooth. Holds a long charge too.

This is my first pair of over the ears headphones Very comfortable excellent sound and connection, battery lasts forever. Mostly use it for noise cancellation (volleyball travel parent)

There is nothing like these headphones for bass lovers. I am completely spoiled with the bass quality of these headphones. Audiophiles need now apply though - if you're looking for fidelity then you need to look elsewhere. They're actually pretty good headphones throughout the spectrum, but you'll still get lots of bass where you probably don't want to hear it (classical, jazz, spoken word, podcasts, etc.) I like the ergonomics of these headphones. The over the ear design fits very well over my ears, and the controls are especially easy to use (+ and - shaped buttons make it very easy to immediately find the control you need without having to fumble around too much). I never feel like they're too heavy or that they're squeezing my head too much. I wear these things all over the place - while doing house work, while working, while walking, biking, air travel, etc. They work very well for noisy environments. There's no noise cancellation tech but the closed cup design helps to keep out a decent amount of ambient noise, even during a flight. The mic leaves a little bit to be desired. It doesn't cancel out ambient noise so if there's noise around you it gets picked up when you're using the mic. I've also had complaints that my voice sounds robotic and metallic when using this mic, so I've stopped using it altogether for work calls, opting instead for a Jabra Evolve2 65 headset for that purpose. But let's be honest - I didn't buy Crushers for voice calls, so I'll give 'em a pass on that criteria. I'm rating these a 4 rather than a 5 because of the durability. After regular use (around 1 year for me), the metal headband and the plastic connection point will loosen as cracks develop in the plastic, and they'll become so loose that they slide right off. The first pair I purchased was so loose I couldn't hold it together with tape, so I purchased another pair, and the same thing has happened with these. I was however able to salvage them using masking tape, but it's quite unsightly walking around like that so I switched to black electrical tape, which doesn't work as well since electrical tape stretches over time. I will probably purchase another pair soon because I can't imagine moving to another brand that doesn't have the haptic feedback. I really wish Skullcandy could do something about the durability issues, because these really are fantastic headphones.

These are by far the best headphones I have ever purchased. Light weight, comfortable, and sound quality is outstanding. The adjustable bass slider on the side actually works. Most items that say they have a bass control or some sort of added bass never actually work. Or in most cases they tend to just distort at high volumes. Not these. These have a brain jarring bass to them (actually shakes ur head) but still have clarity on the highs and mids. No distortion here. Worth every penny.

This is my first pair of Skullcandy Crusher headphones. Setting it up was pretty straightforward after putting it in pairing mode and selecting the device in my phone’s Bluetooth menu. It has a multi-function/power button (MFB) on the back of the right earcup between the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons used for volume adjustment and track skipping. You can also take calls on by pressing the MFB, and the audio picked up by its mic is clear and crisp. The main feature that sets this line of headphones apart is an adjustable sensory bass slider on the left earcup. Other than that, it’s a fairly basic set of wireless Bluetooth headphones. It has a USB-C port for charging and AUX input port for wired connections on the left earcup as well. The AUX cable is 4 ft long and does not have inline controls. Both ends of the incredibly short, 4.5 inch USB-A to USB-C cable are reversible, so it's nice that you don't have to think about its orientation when plugging it in. The battery charges quickly in 2-3 hours and can last around 40 hours of playback on a full charge. The headphones’ body and earcup hangers are constructed with lightweight plastic, and it has a flexible steel core. Both the earcups are collapsible and fold in for compact storage, however, no case is included. There are short lengths of cable that exit out of the top of the earcups before routing back into the headband. The underside of the headband is rubberized with an indent in the middle for use with a headphone hanger. While it’s not as soft as a fabric/foam headband, it is relatively cushy, and I appreciate that it can be easily cleaned by wiping it off. As for the fit, the earcups are a decent size but not overly generous. They do not pivot side to side but can tilt very slightly top to bottom. They are adjustable up and down about an inch. As someone with larger ears, my ears barely fit fully within the pad cavities and touch the inside edges of the padding. I found the clamping force on my head somewhat tight and the leatherette pads heat up a bunch while I’m wearing them. They’re okay for short listening sessions, but if I wear them for more than an hour they start feeling hot and uncomfortable. The ear pads are also easy to remove so you can replace them when they wear out. As for sound quality, it’s just okay, considering I generally prefer headphones tuned for audiophiles. Sound isolation is average, with a good seal from the pressure, but audio tends to bleed to the exterior at higher volumes, so folks around you may be able to hear what you're listening to. With the bass slider at the lowest position, the sound is fairly muddy with fuzzy trebles coupled with under-supported mids and shallow bass, projected over a narrow soundstage. Turning up the bass slider adds more punch with haptic feedback that causes the earpads to physically vibrate. This vibration also tends to travel up the headband to generate some buzzing at the top of my head which I found pretty exhausting after a while. Even at 50% the boosted bass feels overly heavy, though the balance is better when set to around 25%. When the bass slider is turned up to the max, the haptic effects are quite forceful, however, the fidelity and clarity of the audio suffers, becoming way too boom-y and dull. For me, I find the haptic sensations to be very unpleasant. It’s not quite ticklish, but it’s in that zone. The intensity and placement of the vibrations around my ears is just irritating, almost painful, like it’s hitting a nerve the wrong way. I also noticed that the steel core tends to resonate with a dull metallic ping any time the headphones are touched or adjusted, which was annoying. Overall, these headphones were not my cup of tea. I found the haptic vibrations detrimental to my enjoyment of the music, whose sound quality is fairly average to begin with. However, if you enjoy powerful thumping bass and feeling vibrations on your head that sync with your music, these may be right up your alley.

I’ve been buying Skullcandy products for years now, and these are by far the best headphones I’ve ever owned. The bass is better than anything else out there. And if you want to turn the bass down or off, they still have a good quality sound. The 40 hour battery life is also one of the best out there. I listen to mine with the bass turned up to at least 1/2 to 3/4, and they still last me so long, I lose track of how many hours I’ve used them. I highly recommend these headphones.

The bass makes you laugh because it tickles your ears and shakes your eyeballs. Absolutely astounding. Overall sound quality does not stack up to the Skullcandy Venue, but you don't buy these headphones for sound quality, you buy them for the bass. They are loud, comfortable, and can go about 2 days of heavy use without charging. With light use they last for weeks. Why 4 stars? The plastic that holds the earcup broke after only 6 months. Skullcandy replaced them with no questions asked, but I worry about the build quality since it's plastic.

I am a big fan of skullcandy, I originally had the skullcandy hesh wireless 2 headphones and loved them. After I gave them to my brother I decided to try some Sony headphone but did not love the feel of them. I bought these when they were on sale and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I thought I would love the bass features more but I don't really use it that much. I do occasionally adjust it but for the most part they are just quality headphones. Skullcandy make great headphones and I would recommend them to anyone interested in solid wireless headphones but not looking to break the bank.

On the plus side, fantastic sound and great bass. Bass is also adjustable so you can really thump it if you want. Battery life is living up to it's 40 hour claim. Easily paired to an iPod and a Google pixel phone. One note: these are NOT noise canceling, I knew that buying them, if that's what you want move on. Only negative is a little ear fatigue but I've experienced that with other brands of over the ear headphones. Highly recommend these.

These headphones are really good. When the bass is off you get a very clean sound. When you turn the bass on it sounds low and clear. I’ve tried the beats brand but the only reason why I was going to buy them was for popularity. They do not sound as good as the crushers. If you want the best sound buy a pair of bowers and Wilkins. If you want a comfortable pair of headphones that are also noise canceling and sound just right then the crushers are the way to go

I’m having a blast with these—it’s like having my own personal studio in my ear. I can work out with them—it’s got a great battery life. They’re super comfortable. I have zero complaints.

Skullcandy has always been a favorite headphone brand for me. For me, buying the popular name brands for $100-$200 more isn’t worth it anymore. If you want comfortable headphones then these are the ones you’re looking for. The sound quality matches any of Sony’s. Not to mention the built in sub which can be controlled on the left side. Battery life lasts a solid 10-12 hours. Overall, the best pair of headphones I’ve owned. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing bass and sound quality. Super comfortable and the battery lasts a very long time.

These are my all-time favorite over the ear headphones. The bass is immersive as they say and I'm very impressed with the sound output. The Bluetooth connectivity is constant unless you get out of range of yoyr device. Battery lasts hours, but I never clocked my personal maximum. I can account for at least 5 hours usage during my airline travel. Check out the newer model that came out.

If you want one of the loudest bass headphones look no further, these are the ones you need. They are also have great sound and are very loud. The plastic is ok but I wouldn't drop them too often but they are sturdy enough for day to day use. And they are comfortable to wear for extended periods an the battery life is very long, I can go a week plus with at least 5hrs of use each day. All in all I'm happy with them.

So I review headphones on YouTube and it is rare to be blown away by a pair of headphones anymore and the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless did just that. Yes, they have insane bass but they have great clarity and the overall sound is amazing. Comfort is excellent and the battery life of 40hrs is insane!
