Verdict

Downgrade

The Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 actually scores 22.3 points below the Wavefun Wave Pro X, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on noise cancelling (8.0 to 5.8) and value (9.0 to 7.0). On paper it adds active noise cancelling. Worth checking: battery life goes 100 h to 60 h and bluetooth goes 6.0 to 5.2. One caution: this steps down a line tier (Wave Pro X to Crusher® ANC 2), and base models usually trade away tier features - check the codec and ANC rows above before trusting the score gap alone. And it costs $107 more for a lower score, which is hard to justify on the data alone. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
