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!

Pretty good headset. Couldn't get it to properly bluetooth connect to my tablet, but googled it and you can reset it by pressing volumes up and down at the same time until the double-beep. Then it connected ok. Goes pretty well. Our son tries to confiscate it whenever possible.

Great if you have a small to medium head and love bass over all else, but otherwise not worth the money

Very powerful bass

The Skullcandy Crusher promises bass you can feel, and that's exactly what it delivers. With the bass driver turned to max, music certainly loses some of its texture; upper notes on guitars, flutes, and the like really get lost in the shuffle. And there are other bones to pick, too.

The Skullcandy Crusher are rather unusual headphones. As well as a normal headphone driver, they use a separate subwoofer in each ear called the Sensation55, powered by an AA battery. This is designed to blast your brain with low-end power. And it sure does.

Skullcandy’s latest bass-shaking Crusher headphones come equipped with ANC - but they’re not without their faults

Sensory bass is great fun; Stylish; Personalised sound profiles

ANC is poor; Unbalanced sound; Touch sensitivity is over-sensitive

Skullcandy made a name for itself with cool, stylish, bass-forward headphones that all have one thing in common: a relatively affordable price. So it's safe to say we are intrigued by the Crush ANC, a $319.99 pair of noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones priced only slightly lower than the $399.95 industry-leading Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. Skullcandy's headphones feature adjustable bass response with haptic vibrations, which are undeniably cool, but the ANC simply isn't on the same level as other models in this price range. Design Available in black or dark red models, the circumaural (over-ear) headphones feature an eggshell-like finish and extensive memory foam cushioning in the earpads and the underside of the headband. Other than a small Skullcandy skull logo on either side of the headband, the design flourishes are kept to a minimum—most of the language printed on the outer panels can only be seen from up close, and at an angle, it seems to disappear. Internally, ...

The Skullcandy Crusher ANC headphones deliver seriously enhanced, adjustable bass levels with haptic feedback, but you can get stronger noise cancellation for the price.

Powerful audio performance with adjustable bass depth and haptic vibration; Solid mic clarity; Can be used passively with included audio cable

Expensive; Merely decent noise cancellation; Sound signature is far from accurate

The sound of doom goes BOOM BOOM BOOM

As deep bass becomes increasingly easier to produce in relatively affordable headphones , companies are adding new tricks to the equation to win your interest. Beyerdynamic and Skullcandy both recently released headphones with adjustable bass sliders-but Skullcandy's Crusher, at $99.95 (direct), is...

Powerful audio output, with slider to adjust bass response; Works in passive mode, without a battery; Inline remote control and microphone for mobile devices

Bass boost goes to ridiculously high levels; AA battery required for the bass slider to work

At $99 (￡89.99, AU$115), the Skullcandy Crusher headphones are all about that bass. With bass drivers so strong they actually vibrate, the Crusher lathers a fun (but divisive), thick, gooey coat of bass to every track that's pushed through its cans.
