What Is Crusher Bass?

Use the Crusher wheel or Skullcandy App to adjust the intensity from subtle enhancement to mind-bending bass.

What Is Personal Sound?

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.

Reviews

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)

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)

I've enjoyed the new model

"I've enjoyed the new model 1080 anc. The sound quality and fitment are excellent. I use them in the gym. They stay on my head very well and the pads are very comfortable. The most comfortable pair I've ever worn. The nob placement is very user-friendly. The sound is crystal clear. The noise canceling is great. I was used to the evos, so I was expecting a little more bass from them. But other than that, well done on making a great compair of headphones. Thank you."

Austin P. (5/5)

I can honestly say these

"I can honestly say these are by far the best headphones I've ever owned the Bass is insane the vocals are crisp and when on the phone the mic is crisp as well everyone can hear me fine . I was even cutting the grass today sitting on a zero turn while on the phone and they heard me clear as day"

David J. (5/5)

"I love these headphones I just recieved them today and they are amazing! The box came kinda damage which is a concern i had for sure but so far the headphones don't seem damaged. The spatial audio is crazy, especially the still audio! Anyone who listens to Dean Martin would get a high off of these with the detail to sounds!!"

Aidan (4/5)

"If you are chasing the most bass-heavy models, don't choose these. Go for the 720, unless you value ANC over bass. I see what everybody is saying about the bass being far less than previous models, and the wear detect is terrible, but it can be turned off. Those 2 things aside, I am already loving these. They are more comfortable than the ANC2, they have a much higher build quality, the ANC is way better, and the sound is more accurate. Hoping to see an update that brings the "Off, Softer, Rich" options to personal sound!"

Skylar (4/5)

The audio is crispy ,

"The audio is crispy , clear and it sounds amazing. The crusher, the base , could definitely be better. The crusher ANC 2 bass is better and louder. These have the potential to be the best but the control do mess up sometimes (I don’t hear the females voice , just the finished outputs)"

Angel G. (4/5)

The headphones are very comfortable,

"The headphones are very comfortable, but the bass wasn’t as powerful as I was expecting. I was looking for that head-shaking bass, but I found that adjusting Spotify’s equalizer settings—specifically turning the 60 Hz band all the way up—really brings the bass to life. Other than that, the ANC and Transparency modes work great. Overall, these feel more like $200–$250 headphones"

Noel M. (4/5)

A purchase I didn’t regret!

"A purchase I didn’t regret! Bass is great and doesn’t completely mud out the other frequencies even with the crusher bass dial turned all the way up. If you love bass and love quality, for a lower price compared to other headphones on the market right now, I would buy these or other ones from the crusher bass line. ."

David O. (5/5)

The sound quality is definitely

"The sound quality is definitely a huge improvement I have been using the crusher evos for years and never once had a problem with them. I did notice the bass on the crusher 1080 ancs are not as strong as the Evos I wish it had the same feeling I got with my Evos but either than that I’m loving the 1080 ancs keep up the amazing work Skullcandy."
