What Is Crusher Bass?

Unlike traditional headphones, Crusher uses dedicated bass drivers to create a physical bass sensation that adds impact and immersion to music, movies, and games. Use the Crusher wheel or Skullcandy App to adjust the intensity from subtle enhancement to mind-bending bass.

What Is Personal Sound?

Personal Sound by Mimi is advanced sound personalization technology built directly into compatible Skullcandy headphones. Mimi is a global leader in sound personalization technology for consumer audio devices. The technology adapts audio to your specific hearing profile, not a generic preset. The result: Clearer detail, restored audio frequencies you may be missing, safer listening over time and a more immersive experience.

Crusher 1080 ANC uses Bose's TrueSpatial spatial audio technology, making you feel like you're sitting in the middle of an epic surround sound system.

The result is an immersive 3D effect that's like nothing else.

Reviews

I loved the 1080; the

"I loved the 1080; the color is beautiful. The sound quality is excellent. I was washing clothes and the washing machine was making some noise and I could not concentrate to read so I used my 1080, activated noise cancelation and started listening to music. I stopped the music because I got an ad; i completely forgot that i was washing clothes (i was next to the washing machine). The basses are quieter than previous versions, which saddens me a little, it is its most striking characteristic, but it is rewarded with the other characteristics. I'm very happy with my purchase."

Manuel R. (5/5)

These are by far the

"These are by far the best sounding Skullcandy headphones I have ever owned. The Crusher bass is less of a physical sensation and much more of a refined integration. Compared to the ANC 2s or the EVOs, the build quality is worlds better. The first time I’ve been this excited about a headphone since the original Crushers Wireless."

Peter G. (5/5)

I just Oder them not

"I just Oder them not long ago and I am in love! I own the AirPods Max but I get headaches after a while when using them also the cushion gets to sweaty and it feels disgusting but the crusher 1080 ANC are the best especially for the gym or running!! You won’t get headaches or feel like the sound starts bothering your hearing Also has the best bass sound 🥰 love them in pink 💕"

Xochilt P. (5/5)

"I love the headphones! They are amazing! The audio quality is insane and the bass is better than my XM5. The delivery did take forever and the box came with a couple of scratches and damages but the headphones are working just fine and it came with all of the accessories and instructions"

Samir (5/5)

This was definitely worth the

"This was definitely worth the upgrade from crusher anc 2. Really happy with the new anc in the 1080, and love the sound quality. Also the bass is richer and not as "cheap/muddy"compare to previous crusher models at high bass levels. Real happy with it. Only issue is with windows LE which can cause audio delay"

Shaquille D. (5/5)

Right ear sensory bass is

"Right ear sensory bass is slightly quieter than the left. Wear Detect constantly pauses music despite wearing the headphones properly. Adjusting the headband up or down did not fix the issue. As a forever Skullcandy fan, and release day buyer, I'm very disappointed in the lack of quality control."

Dillon H. (1/5)

"Easily one of the best headphones ive ever know. The quality is amazing the connection was fast and simple. The bass and audio are just right for each other. Ive been a fan for years like since the original crushers with batteries came out and i gotta say the improvements over the years have been impressive. I hope to see what new innovations u guys have with future have the crusher series"

JUSTIN (5/5)

Great sound quality and comfort.

"Great sound quality and comfort. I do wish the transparency volume was adjustable in the app. Its too quiet most of the time. Also sometimes the 360 sound doesnt load properly on boot up, a power cycle fixes this for me. Hopefully some firmware updates are coming to tighten things up. Overall these are solid headphones. The 360 sound is what sets these apart from other headphones. The sound quality is pretty unreal with that on."

Jason S. (5/5)

This is my third pair

"This is my third pair of Crushers, and I’ve always enjoyed what this product brings to the table. I appreciate the clarity that feels more comparable to Bose, but I think a little too much was sacrificed when it comes to the bass and the haptic experience. When the sound is balanced, they produce great overall audio quality. My biggest issue is that I seem to have lost the ability to really take the bass and haptic sensation over the top when I want to. That’s one of the main reasons fans buy Crushers in the first place. Overall, I still really enjoy the product. I just hope the company doesn’t move too far away from the powerful bass and immersive haptic experience that made the Crushers so popular. The clarity and balance A+."

Oscar O. (4/5)

I was a loyal Skullcandy

"I was a loyal Skullcandy fan as a college student in the early 2000s, but the Crusher 1080 ANC reminds me exactly why I moved on from the brand. After just two weeks of use, I've encountered countless issues. The audio quality makes clear phone calls impossible, and my podcasts constantly pause or stop playing altogether. Even during everyday activities like walking or lifting at the gym, the playback refuses to stay seamless. I will be requesting a refund and steering clear of this brand in the future."
