Reviews

I love it✋😎😎😎. Of course

"I love it✋😎😎😎. Of course with firmware 1.5 and specifically 1.2 ( the tight bass perfect touch, but the Balance and full difference isn't quite fine tuned; I mean the balance crush its not in the middle of them🦆🦆🦆). Expected a bit more true spacial sounds , but that's maybe because of my Asus Rog theta7.1 ... Build and functionality 5⭐... Oh for the stay aware function would love a touch to for future ( vorks but only low volumes 1/3 at best) 🎶."

— Adrian O. (5/5)

love the noise of them

"love the noise of them and the bass. wish the noise cancellation was a bit better and the stay aware. I had the hesh headphones before this the their stay aware mode does really good but on the 1080 they just don’t do it as good. But they sound amazing and feel really good even with my bigger sized head. Over all there are some areas that need improvement but they are still good!"

— Jaz T. (5/5)

Eardrum massage

"It is a magnificent audio experience; even at full volume and with the bass turned all the way up, the high notes remain clearly audible. The materials have also been carefully chosen—although the headphones might seem a bit heavy, you don’t feel that at all while wearing them. The customization options available via the app are also well-implemented. I particularly like the automatic pause feature that kicks in when you take them off."

— Oliver K. (5/5)

A quality set of headphones.

"A quality set of headphones. Nicely packaged with great attention to small details like the matching pink USB charging cable! A very soft plush bag included to offer protection. Sound quality amazing. A very comfortable fit,with luxuriously soft ear pads for hours of wear. Very pleased with the quality of these."

— Dale F. (5/5)

So i have to say

"So i have to say my personal opinion about the skull crusher one thousand and eighty AMC is that is has the perfect compatibility vor someone who wants to have a really really nice sound in the headphones but need a little Kick do it in terms of bass and there couldn't be anymore perfect earphones for myself because i hear a lot of rock music. I am really proud of you people what you made of this brand and when i ever have to describe to someone what the perfect headphones are i will say he should buy these. Sorry for my bad english from Germany but i think i said everything i could."

— Max B. (5/5)

Best headphones i have ever

"Best headphones i have ever purchased, kinda pricy but definitely worth it. I was talking to my friend with them on and it jump scared me because it genuinely sounded like he was in the room with me sitting beside me. And playing music sounds like im listening to a proper surround sound system. If anyone asked me for headphone recommendations, I would definitely say these as my first pick."

— Amon G. (5/5)

Really good collab with Bose,

"Really good collab with Bose, the sound quality is much better than the average Crusher headphone. The noise cancelling is also way better than the normal crusher ANC, which is the main reason why I upgraded from the Crusher ANC 2 to this headphone. Lastly, the structure of this headphone feels much heavier and sturdier than the crusher ANC 2, so it should last a while for me. Highly recommend."

— Grant B. (5/5)

I just ordered my daughters

"I just ordered my daughters new headphones, the $350 ones, I couldn't be happier, they arrived so quick and my the look on their faces and the fact they wouldn't respond to questions tell me they are top notch headphones, very jelly l happy ones, the pink ones and the gray ones look so cool"

— Jason F. (5/5)

These headphones are absolutely amazing!!

"These headphones are absolutely amazing!! I love the sound quality and they are so comfortable you forget you are wearing them. The bass is off the charts. The sound is crisp, clear, and vibrant. The noise canceling feature really makes for absolute music with no outside interference. I am extremely happy with the. And would recommend them to anyone e who takes music seriously."

— Monica C. (5/5)

"I was incredibly disappointed with the sound quality. Most notably the Crusher Bass. I own the Crusher Plyr 720 gaming headphones and the haptic bass is phenomenal. Great for games and music. I purchased these thinking that it would be equal if not better, being that they’re designed around music listening. The haptic bass was 1/4 that of the PLYR 720s and if the crusher bass was turned up too much, it sounded like either the speakers were blown out or just serious clipping happening. I’m going to return these and just buy a second set of PLYR 720s to use for personal use. I was really wanting the ANC features but the sacrifice on audio isn’t worth it."
