Is the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 worth the upgrade from the Skullcandy Crusher® 1080 ANC?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 actually scores 11.3 points below the Skullcandy Crusher® 1080 ANC, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on noise cancelling (8.1 to 5.8) and value (8.5 to 7.0). On paper: weight 374.2 g to 332 g and driver size 36 mm to 40 mm. Worth checking: bluetooth goes 5.3 to 5.2 and microphones goes 6 to 4. The two sit at effectively the same price. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
