Is the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 worth the upgrade from the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 actually scores 17.0 points below the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on sound (8.5 to 6.5) and noise cancelling (8.0 to 6.0). Worth checking: codecs goes SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive to SBC, AAC and weight goes 293 g to 332 g. It is at least $5 cheaper, so the lower score comes with a saving. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
