What do a Skullcandy headset and a character from Last of the Summer Wine have in common Their name!

In 2013 we gave solid marks to the Skullcandy Crusher, wired headphones that require AA batteries to deliver their, well, crushing bass response. The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless headphones, at $199, devote just as much time and energy to a massive bass sound, but ditch the AA batteries in favor of a rechargeable design, and swap the 3.5mm audio jack for Bluetooth connectivity. The headphones still employ what Skullcandy refers to as "dual-channel haptic bass," which means they literally vibrate with deep lows according to what's being pushed through the channel. Audio purists can stop reading now, but if you're a big bass lover, you can carry on, tempered with the knowledge that even you are likely to find the potential bass levels here to be too strong at times. Design Available in matte black, the circumaural (over-ear) Crusher Wireless offer an exceptionally comfortable fit, with memory foam earpads and a well-cushioned headband. The earcups fully envelop the ear and even offer...

Skullcandy's Crusher Wireless headphones deliver Bluetooth audio with adjustable bass, but even low-end lovers may find the levels too much to handle.

Bass can go far too high, even for those who like it; Control panel make sit easy to accidentally skip tracks

Skullcandy products are often associated with a huge price tag that some users don't always consider justified. This can be an especially grey area with wireless headphones, since companies can be tempted to charge a premium price for products that boast lots of features, but don't necessarily...

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.

Cord was too short. Socket on earphone would not accept a standard extender cable.

The new Crusher wireless from Skullcandy is a great improvement on the old Skullcrushers. The most noticeable improvement is NO EXTERNAL BATTERIES which is very important because a person can spend hundreds of dollars in AA batteries in a years worth span for the old Skullcrushers.

Has improved from the last version (SkullCrushers) Clearer sound quality; Low latency Bluetooth; Memory foam padding; Optimized low power bass drivers

May get warm and uncomfortable if worn too long because of memory foam padding; small ear cups

Crusher from Skullcandy is the kind of headphone which can be used both for professional office as well as gaming purposes. It looks decent with curvy design form factor, and further has got soft cushion cups to comfort your eyes.

These headphones are fantastic! Clear sound, awesome bass that you feel in your bones. Highly recommend!

Attractive Design; Durable; Great feel; Great Sound; Lightweight

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

Tried them at the store and fell in love with them. The fact that you can control the bass on the head set is awesome. I truly recommend it to anybody looking for a set of head phones. Not expensive at all!
