What reviewers said

Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2

The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 are wireless over-ear headphones built for bass lovers, with a signature adjustable low-end boost and adaptive noise cancellation. They offer a very long battery life, Bluetooth 5.2 with multipoint, and a comfortable fit, though their sound signature is heavily skewed toward sub-bass and their ANC is not class-leading. Overall, they are a niche pick for those who prioritize powerful, tactile bass over a neutral or balanced presentation.

  • Pro:Extremely powerful, adjustable bass response
  • Pro:Excellent battery life (up to 50 hours with ANC)
  • Pro:Comfortable for long listening sessions
  • Con:Noise cancellation is good but not top-tier
  • Con:Sound signature is too bass-heavy for neutral listeners
  • Con:No water resistance or wireless charging

  • Pro:Exceptional 100-hour battery life (60 with ANC)
  • Pro:Includes ANC, transparency mode, and wear detection
  • Pro:Foldable design with USB-C and wireless charging
