Skullcandy Crusher Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone and Android with Microphone / 40 Hours Battery Life/Extra Bass Tech/Great for Music, School, Workouts, and Gaming - Black

Skullcandy "Crusher" Wireless headphones. I have wanted a quality pair of headphones for sometime and I thoroughly researched all makes and models at the €100 ish price range. I decided against some strong contenders from Sony, AKG and Sennheiser and purchased these as a belated Crimbo present :) No they are not perfect. Nothing to do with music reproduction ever is no matter how much you spend and at one time I did spend lots on my Hi-Fi. Now my criteria for music has lowered a little. Now all I want is for it to be enjoyable. What these can do is truly phenomenal. Apart from the battery that never seems to run out, and the easy Bluetooth connection to any compatible device, the main attraction is the music and the Skullcandy gimmick of making the bass notes an actual, physical thing. When I read other reviews I was thinking, yes, neat trick but is it distracting ? Does the other music get drowned out by the bass ? No and NO ! It's an amazing addition and blows cobwebs off your music collection.Nearly everything I tried was improved to a point. Some more than others but, overall, they make everything more enjoyable.Predictably, bass heavy productions come out well but they do on most systems. I played a full range of musical genres including Prince, Queen, Michael Jackson, Moby, James, Jethro Tull, AC/DC, Kate Bush, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt,Talking Heads, Radiohead, and hundreds of others. Even Eminem and Nelly were briefly entertained ;) I also tried some chamber music and that was very impressive too. Just to see how they handle music with little bass. The very first track I played was Van Morrison-Rough God Goes Riding off his Duets album. Unbelievable. I had to lower the bass setting a little as my few remaining fillings were in danger of falling out ! I couldn't wait to try other songs after that. They are very comfortable to wear and the quality of the product is excellent. To think they have a pair of Limited Edition 360 Crushers for €300 is intriguing. At that price they must be a lot better than the standard ones and the competition at the 300 price point includes the supposedly unbeatable Sony WH-1000XM3. So if you're looking for headphones that you can use anywhere, these are well worth a listen.

As the title suggests, these headphones are truly amazing but sadly the only problem I have with them (well, 2 actually but I'll get onto that in a bit) is the fact that they aren't glasses-friendly. With the amount of pressure they apply to your ears they certainly won't be coming off even with violent headbanging but that's the problem. They apply too much pressure. I'm not trying to say that feel awful but a swivel cup would have been a nice addition and wouldn't have added much more to the manufacturing costs at all. The sound: You buy expensive or audiophile grade headphones for the quality of the sound. I'm no true audiophile but I am heavily into crisp, clear sound with balanced mids and bass. I noticed a few people complaining about the sound but in all honesty, I can't fault the drivers at all. To me (and as I said, I like clear sound) they sound perfect for this price. The bass slider does kill the overall quality by making the only thing you can hear (and feel) is pure bass, which is why I recommend it just above off or in the middle. Feel: The feel of the headphones in the hand and on your head or neck is nothing short of exceptional. They don't weigh much in the grand scheme of things but they don't feel like they are weightless either. I think Skullcandy got the weight just right. Not too heavy but not too light either. Comfort: I already covered this on the first paragraph but I'll explain a bit more about it. They're decent in terms of comfort on your head. If Skullcandy made a swivel cup on the next revision of these headphones then I'd fall in love in an instant. But as they are, the angle of the cups isn't ideal, they apply way too much pressure to the lower half of your ear and if you've got a medium sized head then unfortunately you'll have to endure slight discomfort while wearing them. And if you've got glasses then it's even worse.. Battery: Now, this is a bit of a mixed bag. What I mean by that is the rated 40 hours, it might seem like a lot but remember that there's a lot more space to put a larger battery in compared to sports wireless earbuds. Yes, 40 hours is perfect if you use them while working like me, but overall its not that big considering the size and design of the headphones. Conclusion: Overall, I am truly impressed and blown away at how great they are! I'd never turn them down, ever! The only real consideration you should think about before buying is do you wear glasses, if so. Make sure you've got some sort of method to reduce the pressure they put.

Its not for studio audio pro users. Its only for everyone who like bass. Sound is very good. Battery life is the best that you can get on any bluetooth headset right now. When it turns on and off you can see a purple light indicator. And if you put them on you can hear it say that its on. To connect with a device you have to press and hold the power key for 3 seconds then it will show the bt headset on your device. When its searching for bt device it blinks red and blue light indicator. When its charging red light indicates charging and after 2 and a half hour it will fully charge and green light will indicate that its fully charged. If you compare with other brands within this price range none can compete with it. I have used Sony / BoAt / Jbl etc but this is something. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GAMING USE I WILL SUGGEST THAT USE IT WITH WIRES. THERE IS A 3.5 MM JACK WITH A BUILT IN MIC IN THE BOX. USE IT FOR BETTER GAMING EXPERIANCE. Pros : *Good sound quality. *best battery life. *bass you really feel with adjustable bass slider. * premium quality. * will not fall from your head Cons: when you use it for the first time it will clam your head hard. After 1 or 2 days of usage it becomes normal. The haptic engine that provides the head shaking bass comes fraction of a second late. *** if you are looking for a headphone for listening music and enjoy like its party everytime. Buy it now. Its for fun listening and enjoying life.*** # the plastic joints broke after 6 months.. So be careful...!!!

Zuerst war ich ob der geteilten Meinungen über den Bass Boost etwas skeptisch, aber der lässt sich rech gut von Null bis völlig übertrieben regeln. Ein Drittel hätte auch gereicht und ließe sich feiner regeln. Bedienung ist intuitiv. Toll sind die klar erfühlbaren, großen Tasten. Sehr schön das mitgelieferte "Notfall"-Kabel mit separatem Mikro. Gut auch, dass die Bluetooth Funktion automatisch abgeschaltet wird wenn man das Kabel ansteckt. Der Klang ist für meinen Geschmack sehr ausgewogen und durchaus detailliert. Der Bass Boost ist ein nettes Feature was erstaunlich gut funktioniert, nur übertreiben darf man es nicht, da es dem Bass sonst sehr schnell die Präzision raubt. Schön ist, dass man die Kopfhörer platzsparend zusammenklappen und in den mitgelieferten Schutzbeutel, mit eingenähten Taschen für Kabel, geschützt verstauen kann. Der Akku hält ewig, das ist wirklich sensationell. Und schnell geladen ist er auch wieder. Da können sich andere Hersteller eine Scheibe davon abschneiden. Zwei kleine Kritikpunkte gibt es leider doch. Das sind zum einen die knapp bemessenen Ohrpolster. Es reicht gerade so für normal große Ohren. Es hat etwas gedauert, bis ich die richtige Einstellung gefunden habe, dann geht es aber über Stunden recht problemlos. Und die Abschirmung von der Außenwelt ist dann so gut, da Vermisse ich kein Noise Cancelling. Die Einstellung des Bügels ohne Rasten ist hier nicht von Nachteil er hält auch ohne die Position sehr sicher. Die Verarbeitung ist top und die Haptik ist angenehm. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen, aber Dank der Metallbügel und Scharniere mache ich mir hier keine großen Sorgen. Der letzte kleine Kritikpunkt ist, dass bei Telefonaten die eigene Stimme gelegentlich den Bass Boost zum schwingen anregt, vergleichbar mit dem Klopfen gegen den Kopfhörer, was auch andere schon berichtet haben. Trotz allem macht der Kopfhörer für einen fairen Preis unter dem Strich vieles richtig und beim Haupteinsatz Musikhören/Filmeschauen ohne störende Nebengeräusche sogar sehr gut. Das ist mir 5 Sterne wert.

The Skull Candy Crusher Wireless is a great set of cans for multiple uses. Let me say, first, we have bought 3 pairs of these in less than a year. First pair was for our 15 yo son, second pair was for my husband, and the third pair I finally bought for myself (early Xmas gift). The fact we have 3 pairs of these should say it all! All 3 pairs we bought are in black. Too many reviews had the white pair breaking, so with this last purchase, I felt there were not enough reviews with enough time on them for the new colors to make me feel confident they, too, would not break in the same spot as the white ones. So, black it was. One can never go wrong with black in headphones! The first pair was bought in early May, for a 15 yo who is not always super careful with his stuff. They've been dropped, and used every single day by him and are still working perfectly, still charge just as fast and the battery still lasts forever. They have held up to his clumsiness and look as if we bought them yesterday, though they've been dropped and dinged here and there. My husband got his the 3rd week in May and he uses his constantly. He works from home and is on the phone a LOT. Conference calls, broadcasts (radio/YouTube for interviews), and phone calls/video calls with friends both here in the States and globally. As for my husband's use - they DO work with Skype on a cell - we have Note 9s, and they DO work with Skype via the computer (for reference, he has an Asus Rog). He had to go into Skype and tell it to recognize these particular cans. They didn't work at first, but he did finally get them to. They work on all of our other call apps, WhatsApp, Wire, Signal, VSee Etc. They work with our regular phone calls beautifully too. They also connect to our Bluetooth unit we have hooked into our TV. They both connect even though we have the same headphones. We had some trouble getting 2 identical headphones connecting at first. One would automatically pick up, then we had to activate pairing mode on the headphones then press our bluetooth button on the tv unit and then it found them. Took a day to figure it out, but we did it lol! They work AWESOME with that! If you turn the bass all the way up or 3/4 of the way up, I swear, it seriously feels like you are sitting in a movie theater. The sound quality is awesome for watching tv. Often, one of us will fall asleep and to avoid waking the other, tv gets muted and headphones go on. Now, we use them even when we are both awake because they make for a great experience with the upgraded sound for the tv! Our son just keeps them connected to his phone or he uses the auxiliary cord and plugs them into his switch when he plays it. Sure beats ear buds. Plus, our son says earbuds are super uncomfortable for him and refuses to use them, so that's why we initially bought these for him. The battery life is CRAZY GOOD! This is one of the reasons we went with these 3 times. They charge up from fully drained fairly quick (a few hours) and the battery lasts FOREVER. This battery, by far, is the best out there. Nothing else to say - battery life is AMAZING. Side note - they sound even better when you go in to your cell and tweak the audio settings to your liking. On our Notes, we both had to download a good EQ/audio app and we tweaked from there. He did the same thing on his laptop, and again, amazing sound. Hes a bit of an audiophile, and while no - these aren't the top cans for an audiophile, but he is very impressed with the sound (music/tv) for the price. He actually loves these and prefers these cans for calls, watching TV, and listening to music over his top dollar Sony Noise Cancelling headphones and over his even higher priced Sennheisers. He got these because he needed a good pair with a good mic and sound for calls (as people were complaining over hearing him with the Sonys), and true cans for audiophiles, well, you can't really use them for phone calls lol. He has an expensive pair of Sennheiser cans, and once tweaked, honestly, these sounded better to me than the $400 ones. But - my ears are super sensitive to treble and it hurts my ears. So the highs not being very pronounced with these is perfect for me. The mids are definitely recognizable and neither of us have any issue with sound nor do we miss anything. When watching tv you pick up on all of the little background things you never notice. With music, you can actually hear the singer take the smallest of breaths where you couldn't before. Again, ours are tweaked for our phones and computers, BUT they are NOT tweaked for our tv, it's impossible there and we still catch every little thing. So far, the hinges are holding up. Before we purchased these for our son, we actually went to Best Buy and looked at all of the models and different brands. Skull Candy, overall, were the best for the money and comfort out of all their in-store models. When we compared these to the Venues, we went with these because they feel far more substantial than the Venues. These are heavier and feel/seem to be made sturdier than the Venues. It seems to me the only differences in the two models are - ear pieces twist out on the Venue not on the Crusher, Venue has noise cancelling and Crushers do not, Crusher has the added bass adjustment & Venues don't, and finally, the Crusher seems far strudier/a bit heavier/better made than the Venues and are cheaper than the Venues. I dont think these would be ideal for jogging or running...but I dont run anymore unless it's for my life - so, I dont run. Lol. If you put them on and tap the outside of the can, you can hear it "reverberating". And I've seen other reviews about hearing that while running due to the jolt of the "bouncing" of the body while jogging. That would irritate me. They are a little heavy, but you get used to that quickly and they are super comfy so the weight never was a bother to to me nor my husband or son. We all wear glasses/contacts. They do not hurt my ears where my earpieces are. The cups are super cushy and they only get softer/better over time. Keep in mind, these are NOT noise cancelling. But, my husband often listens to loud music 2 feet away from me and I can't say I can readily identify what he's listening to unless I got closer, so again, it's not a noticeable issue for me. When our toddler comes and crawls into bed with us, if we are watching tv, we have them on pretty loud, and it doesn't bother her a bit, even when she's got her head on my arm. Noises bother her if she's trying to go to sleep. She would, very loudly, have said something by now if she heard any sound from the headphones, or heard it loud enough. She has not. I have paid 3 different prices for these each time I purchased them. 120 for our son, 108 for hubs, and I picked them up on Cyber Monday for 79.99. Even at 120, I would buy them again and would've happily paid it for the 2nd and 3rd pairs. They are holding up really well, have great sound, and fold up for smaller storage. They come with a nice little bag that holds them, but if you want any kind of real protection so you can throw them in a bag and go, I would invest in a hard shell case for them. The bag won't protect them other than keeping them put away when not in use at home. The charge cord is good and seems to be good quality and the aux cord it comes with is really nice! The part under the jack is like a box and causes less stress on the jack and plug so it wont short out as easy. I really love the design of the auxillary cord. If you aren't too terribly rough on headphones and plan on using these for a range of things - like calls, music, & hooking into the tv - these are DEFINITELY the cans for you! They are WELL worth their price, whatever that may be. I would just invest in a hard shell case and take care of them. Most of the breakage issues I saw in reviews were with the white ones. Other colors, in my opinion, dont have enough reviews with enough time in use to be confident that they wont do the same thing the white ones seems to do. We have had zero issues with our 3 sets in black, with one son who isnt always as careful as he should be with the more expensive stuff he wants lol, and they've held up to him perfectly. These are definitely worth your hard earned money! Skull Candy did good with these!!! I would give them my money again if I needed a 4th pair for any reason. Just go on and buy them!!!!

On ne va pas y aller par 4 chemins, j'ai pris une p***** de claque! Amateur d'électro, mais pas seulement, mon choix s'est arrêté sur ce Crusher Wireless après pas mal de recherches concernant des casques "basseux". Je l'ai commandé un peu à l'aveugle, sachant que je ne l'ai pas trouvé dans le commerce pour le tester auparavant, j'ai donc fait confiance à tous les tests que j'ai pu lire sur ce casque (dont certains étaient plutôt négatifs d'ailleurs ). Après 2 semaines d'utilisation, je peux vous dire que je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat. Les audiophiles de la vieille école vous diront peut-être que ce casque c'est du bullshit, que ces retours vibratoires ne sont qu'un argument marketing, qu'ils dénaturent le son... Pour moi, avant tout, musique= émotion! Et bien ce casque en délivre une bonne grosse dose d'émotion. Des basses démentielles, profondes, qui donnent une nouvelle dimension à l'écoute. Des médiums et aigus qui ne sont pas en reste et qui ne se laissent pas étouffer par le bas du spectre. Une très bonne spatialisation et un niveau sonore élevé. Le casque ne s’essouffle jamais, et étant donné la puissance délivrée , ses 40 heures d'autonomie sont surprenantes! Pour moi ce casque peut s'adapter à tous les styles de musique, je prends autant de plaisir à écouter du "boum boum" que du classique! Posez-vous sur votre canapé, lancez un bon vieux Requiem de Wagner, poussez le curseur des basses, fermez les yeux, et chaque coup de tambour vous semblera provenir d'outre-tombe ! Le niveau des basses est toutefois à régler avec parcimonie, suivant le mastering de chaque titre. Je ne dépasse quasiment pas les 30%, le casque est déjà très bon sans les retours haptiques. Donc si comme moi vous n'arrivez pas à vous décider dans l'achat d'un casque, que vous aimez les basses puissantes, profondes, que vous aimez l'impact qu'un sub peut vous procurer, sans pour autant oublier le haut du spectre, alors ne cherchez pas plus loin, c'est le produit qu'il vous faut ! LES POINTS NEGATIFS : - Les retours haptiques résonnent lorsque l'on marche et que le casque est éteint ou à faible niveau, je le déconseille pour une utilisation nomade. - Le casque peut occasionner une petite gêne lors de longues écoutes. LES POINTS POSITIFS - Des basses indescriptibles ! - Des médiums et aigus clairs et précis - un excellent rapport qualité/prix !

Se non sentite dei bassi come a un concerto Metal o in discoteca, morite ? Compratele immediatamente. Anche perchè non esistono altre cuffie che possono fare quello che fanno queste Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. Infatti nella scatola leggerete BASS YOU CAN FEEL, dicendo così chiaramente cosa vi aspetta. Sulla cuffia sinistra potrete spostando un cursore molto comodo regolare a seconda del brano musicale questi bassi che vengono dalla fantascienza. Io ascolto moltissimo heavy metal, tipo Manowar. Ma anche pop anni 80, tipo Kim Wild (you came), e dance che abbia bassi potentissimi. In sintesi è come avere un potentissimo subwoofer, ma dentro le orecchie. Potete regolare i bassi al massimo e i bassi vi entreranno dalle orecchie al cervello come se aveste una cassa attaccata all'orecchio. Oppure regolarli al minimo e ascolterete in modalità normalissima. E non è finita, sono stupende, comodissime, leggere. 40 ore di autonomia bluetooth spostandovi anche 10 metri. Ricaricabile in un massimo di 3 ore collegando il suo bellissimo cavetto alla presa USB del PC. Io uso un adattore a muro del galaxy S10 plus. Quando la spia diventa verde, la carica è completa. Per connetervi al pc, una volta attivato il bluetooth su windowes 10, lasciate premuto il tasto di attivazione fin tanto che la spia sarà rosso blu alternata, connesso rimarrà blu. Non volete utilizzare il bluetooth ? Ecco il suo cavo classico, il suo jack classico di fattura superiore alle sony, di un 1.2 metri. Non avete il bluetooth nel pc ? Con 10 euro, comprate ovunque una adattatore bluetooth USB che ha una forma identica a una penna USB, ma è molto più piccolo. Inserito in windows 10, si installa automaticamente e subito senza che dobbiate scaricare un driver. Sullo smartphone, io ho un galaxy s10 plus, collegarle via bluetooth è uno scherzo. E la musica di youtube l'ascolterete come mai l'avete ascoltata. Tra prestazioni, estetica e quant'altro dovrebbero essere cuffie da almeno 400 euro. E invece meno di 200, un best buy da non credere per chi ha sempre cercato dei bassi che arrivino oltre l'impossibile. Io in 46 anni non ho mai sentito dei bassi a questo livello. E di cuffie ne ho comprate migliaia. Le ho conosciute su youtube, che qualora fosse ancora attivo, il link è https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0n6bTbv5MQ. Anche le Sony XB950N1, hanno un tasto per enfatizzare i bassi, ma vi impone la sua regolazione. Con le Skullcandy, i bassi li regolate voi. Se invece volete degli ottimi bassi senza essere enfatizzati, vi consiglio le Sony MDR-XB950AP. Se invece puntate solo sulla qualità audio e i bassi per voi non sono importanti farei una scelta tra Audio Technica ATH-AD900X e Audio Technica Pro ATH-M50XWH. Per finire, se volete spendere molto poco ma avere la qualità e la massima leggerezza garantita consiglio le Sennheiser HD 100. Concludo dicendo che le acquisterò di nuovo, col timore un domani di non ritrovare un prodotto di tali caratteristiche uniche.
