Reviews

The skullcandy 1080 are awesome

"The skullcandy 1080 are awesome the sound is so good and clear with bose waveform QuietComfort audio. Anc and transparency mode that just works. The bass is nice to though I wish it was a little bit stronger. Ear detection firmware update helped alot by leaving it off and with different eq apps I can get more crusher bass is even more stronger. Overall I'm liking the skullcandy crusher 1080."

— Ken W. (4/5)

These Skullcandy headphones sound amazing!

"These Skullcandy headphones sound amazing! The bass hits hard, the noise cancellation is really good, and they’re super comfortable for long listening sessions. The app gives you a lot of control over the sound too. Definitely happy with my purchase! 🔥🎧"

— ALDO D. (5/5)

The quality, bass, and active

"The quality, bass, and active vibrations were better with the Crusher ANC 2. I believe there is still room for improvement with the cost of these head phones. I would still recommend purchase at a price range around 120$. With technology improving and newer models coming out, it might be worth waiting for a metal model with improved sound. The Useability and Interface is flawless."

— Paul S. (4/5)

Thos is the best headset

"Thos is the best headset I have ever had. The audio is crisp and the bass is an outer world experience. I love it. Plus I also love that i can controll the bass level. Highly recommend, no regrets whatsoever!"

— Dwight D. (5/5)

I really like them, way

"I really like them, way better sound quality than my crusher evos but one thing that I was really looking for was the bass. If I’m being honest the bass on the 1080 anc is not as good as the evos, thats one thing I was really disappointed in but everything else was amazing. They were way more comfortable, like I said better sound quality, and I really loved the noise cancellation. 10/10 just would’ve loved more bass."

— Pedro P. (5/5)

There are some definitely good

"There are some definitely good headphones and I won’t say I would pay $279 form because I got mine for 199 but the bass is pretty good on them and the active noise canceling is good too. I just wish they didn’t feel like they was gonna fall off my head all the time other than that there’s some pretty solid headphones."

— Bryson H. (4/5)

"OMG! Amazing!!! These are incredible. I have sooooo many Skullcandy headphones where I generally purchase as they add new ones. Hands down the best headphones I’ve ever “EXPERIENCED!” If you love bass it’s even better! The clarity and immersive feeling . . . It’s like you’re at a concert! The only complaint I have relates to the color selection. I wanted one in plasma!"

— Joanne (5/5)

"Greatest sound quality ever. The features that is has are amazing too I really love the bose audio. The only disappointment is that the bass is weak compared to the anc 2. Overall amazing headphones but the anc 2 remain the best."

— Angel (4/5)

I've been explaining i didn't

"I've been explaining i didn't get the package. I've already followed all instructions about lost package or missing package. And yet no one has give a resolution. I've made the claim and report on usps and on skullcandy And yet no one has given a resolution. I never received the item. I don't have it. Either the website is a scam or spam or the way skullcandy handle business is a cheaters way."

— GiB G. (1/5)

Pretty awesome. I will say,

"Pretty awesome. I will say, had some difficulty with the crusher bass when using them on my PC but found a 3rd party equalizer that got it fixed, didnt have that issue with the ANC 2s but I cant tell the sound and bass in general are better than the ANC 2s. Just had to do a lil workshopping to get them functioning right on PC via Bluetooth."
