I had been looking at the over the ear Bose and Beats headphones for a long time but, they are frankly, cost prohibitive for a pair of headphones. I tried out these Skullcandy headphones just by chance and I was very impressed with the bass response. Especially for the low price point.

Affordable; Good Bass response

Cheap plastic construction; not great trebble response

Skullcandy headphones are generally targeted at people involved in outdoor action sports like snowboarding or skateboarding, but the headphones in the Crusher series have a classic style and design that appeals to music lovers of all activity levels and walks of life.

I bought these to go with my new iPad Pro due to not having the headphone jack anymore, they're good but not perfect. I like my music loud but unfortunately these are a little too quiet for my liking. Bass is great.

While MajorHifi has been delving into more audiophile gadgets as of late, today I've uncovered a pair of Skullcandy Crushers on my desk, just begging for a listening session. At just $99, these headphones seem too lo-fi for the critical listening crowd, and just a tad expensive for the casual...

Bought these for my 13 yo son and he loves them! He is 6'2" and has a giant head, so there would fit most adults fine. In fact, my 15 yo son liked his brother's pair so much that he asked me to send his in-ear earbuds back and buy him a pair of these!

I am not an audiophile. It's a disclaimer I try to put in front of every audio review I do because it means my review is coming from a layperson's view. My hearing isn't fantastic, and I tend to listen to either podcasts or rock music, so I don't always appreciate some of the nuances that come from...

Comfortable headband and cups; sound quality is outstanding; long battery life; works well as a voice headset

Trapped heat after a while; even folded there is still a lot of bulk

The Skullcandy Crusher is a stereo headset with microphone that has two drivers in each ear for extra bass while the inline control allows for easy mute of the microphone. The Skullcandy Crusher is a unique headphone that has a separate bass driver which can be adjusted for the amount of bass you...

Good sound and bass; Separate bass driver with control; Inline microphone and mute; Very comfortable

Overall quality is just a little lacking

Skullcandy brings the boom with its $99.99 Crusher headphones. Outfitted with the company's Sensation55 driver technology, which causes the cans to literally vibrate, it feels like you're walking around with a large subwoofer on your head.

Durable fame; Affordable; Adjustable vibration effect deepens bass

Frame looks a bit cheap; Bass effect can distort music at high volume

Valued at $159.95AUD (August 2013) and available in three colours (Black, Red & White), the Skullcandy Crusher is the latest portable headphone to hit the market that target a number of key elements for the end-user.

I know a lot of audiophiles will think me silly for saying so, but I like the Skullcandy Crusher. Young folks want bass and cool, new stuff, and at $99 the Crusher does a great job of delivering fun and cool without breaking the bank.
