Is the Wavefun Wave Pro X worth the upgrade from the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 to the Wavefun Wave Pro X buys you 22.3 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in noise cancelling (5.8 to 8.0), value (7.0 to 9.0) and sound (7.2 to 8.5). On paper: battery life 60 h to 100 h, bluetooth 5.2 to 6.0 and battery life (anc on) 50 h to 60 h. Worth checking: active noise cancelling goes Yes to No. It's also $107 cheaper, which makes this an easy call. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
