What reviewers said

Skullcandy Crusher® 1080 ANC

The Skullcandy Crusher 1080 ANC is a heavy-duty over-ear headphone that puts haptic bass front and center, while borrowing Bose-tuned sound and adaptive noise cancellation for a well-rounded wireless experience. It offers a marathon 50-hour battery with ANC on, Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint, and a foldable design, making it a strong pick for bass lovers who prioritize longevity over portability. However, its hefty build, lack of premium codecs, and average call quality keep it from being a top-tier all-rounder.

  • Pro:Excellent battery life, exceeding 50 hours with ANC
  • Pro:Effective adaptive noise cancellation with transparency mode
  • Con:Heavy at 374g, causing comfort issues over long sessions
