What reviewers said
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
Sony WH-1000XM4
The Sony WH-1000XM4 are premium wireless over-ears that blend top-tier adaptive noise cancellation with a well-balanced, detailed sound signature. They offer a lengthy 30-hour battery, LDAC support, and a comfortable, lightweight build that still holds up well against newer competitors. With handy features like multipoint pairing, touch controls, and a quick charge function, they remain a versatile choice for daily use and travel.
- Pro:Excellent adaptive noise cancellation
- Pro:Detailed, accurate audio with LDAC support
- Pro:Comfortable and lightweight for long sessions
- Con:No dedicated aptX codec support
- Con:Touch controls can be finicky for some users
- Con:Plastic build feels less premium than price suggests
