What reviewers said
Sennheiser HD 650
The Sennheiser HD 650 is a wired, open-back dynamic headphone built for serious home listening. It delivers a natural, detailed sound with a comfortable fit, though its sub-bass rolloff and bulky design limit it to stationary use rather than portable or active scenarios. Its replaceable cable and balanced connection option add to its appeal for audiophiles.
- Pro:Excellent clarity and natural tonal balance
- Pro:Very comfortable for long listening sessions
- Pro:Detachable cable and balanced output support
- Con:Noticeable sub-bass rolloff
- Con:Not portable or suitable for active use
- Con:High impedance requires a dedicated amplifier
Skullcandy Crusher 360 Wireless
The Skullcandy Crusher 360 Wireless is a bass-forward over-ear headphone designed for listeners who prioritize powerful low-end punch over tonal accuracy. While it offers a comfortable and durable build with long battery life, its sound quality suffers from loose bass when the Sensory Bass feature is active, and the lack of noise isolation makes it unsuitable for noisy environments.
- Pro:Comfortable and durable build
- Pro:Long 29-hour battery life
- Pro:Exciting, bass-heavy sound signature
- Con:Bass can sound loose and messy with Sensory Bass on
- Con:Weak noise isolation, poor for commuting or office
- Con:Overall sound quality is mediocre for the price
