Reviews

My honest opinion is these

"My honest opinion is these are an obvious upgrade from the ANC2's which i also own. the noise cancellation is better and when im in the gym i just hear my music. The speakers are better and id say another level up for clarity and mids. these have actual bass in combination with the haptic bass we all love. the build quality is up on the band especially and the cup buttons. overall its a great set of headphones that i would recommend to anyone. I havent heard another set better than these at best buy and i demo'ed sonys, bose's line, and beats. these win to me every time."

Phillip L. (5/5)

I own the crusher eco,

"I own the crusher eco, anc 2, and the quality of sound top to bottom is best with the 1080’s. As far as bass it’s on par with anc 2’s. The crusher evo’s had the more powerful face rattling bass , but the bass is strong enough to vibrate your face with the sound quality these are the best yet! 10/10"

Ryan V. (5/5)

The headphones are very good,

"The headphones are very good, they have a great Noise Cancelation, the bass very deep, something that I didn't like about it was that the bass does not sound a lot around the 60hz area (the part where the bass has a high pitch) it is barely notable compared to the Crusher Evo. But these are excellent headphones for other people, in my case it didn't comply with my expectations, but I will definitely recommend these to someone."

Juan B. (4/5)

These are hands down the

"These are hands down the best headphones I've ever owned. While the head rattle is not as strong as previous iterations of the Crushers, the sound quality is top notch. This was my first time trying Spatial Audio and I really enjoy it. My only regret is that I was too late to grab the concrete color Crushers but overall I'm very happy withy new headphones."

Enrique P. (5/5)

This is my first pair

"This is my first pair of Crushers since the OG Crushers, and Skullcandy definitely put their foot in this one!! Amazing sound quality and ANC from Bose mixed with the signature and improved Crushers bass is unmatched. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wants premiers ANC and thumping ass bass."

Dominique J. (5/5)

The crusher 1080 sounds amazing

"The crusher 1080 sounds amazing the ANC blocks out all the background noise my only gripe would be bass, i'm coming from crusher evos and older crusher models and I understand why that is, the 1080s the bass is cleaner, doesn't muddy the upper frequencies and focuses on acoustic clarity and precision, but overall, i'm very pleased"

Dakota C. (5/5)

The sound is definitely better

"The sound is definitely better than my ANC 2. My biggest complaint is the lack of haptic feedback during playback. If a person wants solid haptics I would recommend the ANC 2 instead."

Dusten S. (4/5)

I feel like I wasn’t

"I feel like I wasn’t as satisfied with the bass, it’s still pretty fire n bumpin but I feel like the anc 2’s are way better in bass and I was not expecting that but it could also just be the settings I need to mess around more with, Overall great product and great sound quality just slightly underwhelming bass compared to anc 2’s."

marcus H. (4/5)

"They are stunning, and the sound is all that I wanted. I prefer the music with the ANC deactivated when I'm in quiet places because the bass is even better. The ANC kinda gets in the way of the bass's full potential, but that's only my opinion. It is a good product overall"

Mhavel (5/5)

"Its okay....kinda disappointed sense ive been a crusher fan for years and have had 5 pairs....the bass sucks...i wish it could give that same kick with these...the audio is kinda distant when the volume is low...honestly I wish I just bought the same ANC 2's...next item please give it the same bass kick as the ANC 2's"
