Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones with Multi-Sensory Bass, Active Noise Cancelling, Up to 60 Hours Battery, Microphone for iPhone Android - Black/Asphalt

I initially had the Crusher ANC and had been using them for about 3 years now. I realized that they weren’t picking up the 25-40hz bass range too well. I know it’s headphones, I shouldn’t expect $1000 car audio quality from headphones, I figured though, if these can get to the mid 40s range, maybe there’s some headphones out there that CAN do a little better job picking up that 25-40 range better than these (SN, I’m an audiophile and have the ears of an audio engineer, so I want my music to always sound great and these are for the gym). A lot of the music I listen to has bass in that range. So I do my research and to my surprise, Skull Candy released the ANC 2, so I did more research and found the frequency response as low as 20hz, I’m like ok, I know it’s not going to flawlessly get down to 20hz, let’s try them out though. While they don’t play below 30hz in a fantastic manner, FOR HEADPHONES UNDER $200, they catch 20-30hz about as well as they’re going to. Most of my library doesn’t get below 30hz, so I’m a happy camper. The highs and lows are so crisp and clear and the bass is even smoother on these than the ANC. It sounds like HIGH END aftermarket truck subs! If you know anything about that, truck subs have a tighter and cleaner thump to them. I’m a fan of these headphones!

First I want to say these headphones are 100% Killer!! I’ve been through numerous headphones and earbuds over the past couple weeks, as I’ve been trying to find that perfect pair to have as daily drivers. Well I finally have these bad boys and I don’t regret taking my time while on the search. The overall comfort during gaming and workouts are both phenomenal, I also use these while working and have no complaints when taking calls about background noise. The Bluetooth connectivity is nice because you can pair your phone and laptop to these and seamlessly go back and forth to either or at a moments notice. The app that is available for download via App Store or google play store is also a nice touch, it gives you the opportunity to customize the sound profiles and general learn more about your headphones! The bass that these produce are unlike any other headphones that I’ve tested and once again I’ve tested dozens!! You can turn the bass down if you’d like with the bass adjuster knob, but if you want to really get that house music or techno vibe from your music these will deliver and some! Overall I would choose these time and time again if you are looking for a pair of quality headphones these are a SOLID choice.

I recently purchased the Skullcandy ANC Crusher 2 headphones, and I’m genuinely impressed with their performance. As someone who loves deep, powerful bass—think subwoofers in my vehicles that shake the frame—these headphones deliver exactly what I’m looking for. The bass is rich and immersive, but what really stands out is the overall sound quality. I tested them alongside the JBL 770NC, and while the JBLs are decent, the Crusher 2s offer a significantly clearer, more dynamic audio experience. The mids and highs are crisp and well-balanced, making these headphones versatile for everything from bass-heavy tracks to more nuanced genres.Beyond the sound, the comfort level is fantastic. I’ve worn them for hours without any discomfort, and they feel lightweight yet durable. The included carry bag is a thoughtful touch—well-made and perfect for keeping the headphones safe on the go. The active noise cancellation works effectively, blocking out distractions without compromising the audio quality. Overall, these headphones have exceeded my expectations, and I’d highly recommend them to anyone who values both powerful bass and exceptional sound clarity. They’re a fantastic investment for music lovers.

I was searching around for a decent Bluetooth Music/Gaming headset. Mostly for music while i travel. I have some Sony C700 Ear Buds, they are great but I dont want to risk losing them on travel. Almost happened a few times. I was going to opt for the Sony WH-1000XM4. I know they are really good, but didnt want to drop $350 on them and I dont need the mic input. These Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 happened to go on sale twice, luckily the 2nd time on a payday for once!!! YAY!!! Got them for around $120 instead of the $230. I have been skeptic about Skullcandy products for a long time because I kept seeing them only as the budget brand at Airports and some local stores. To my surprise they came out of that niche area and made a big name for themselves.I was a little worried as some reported the case was missing and the headset seemed used. I made sure to verify before making the purchase that it was straight from Amazon. When they arrived I was happy everyone was sealed and CIB.The headset fits comfortably and I often forget that im wearing them. Its been about 3 days since ive had them. The pictures make them seem a bit larger than they actually are in person. I have medium sized ears and these fit perfectly over them. This current session at the time of writing this, ive had these on for about 10 hours straight, jumping around between listing to music, watching a show and playing video games. My ears and my head do not hurt from long term use like most headsets tend to do. The padding is very comfortable.Audio quality is a lot better than I ever expected it to be. For Bluetooth, you usually have an above average quality compared to most RF receiver headsets. Im simply blown away with how clear, strong and deep the audio comes through.Crusher - Deep Bass feature. You want Deep Bass ACTION in your audio. This is the headset for you. The Crusher control is beyond insanity, its like having twice or 3 times the bass of Dolby Atmos in a movie theatre but wrapped around your ears. Crank it just 1/3 of the way, youll literally feel the ear cups vibrating from the bass, and its not even uncomfortable. At 1/2 way its practically an ear massager if youre watching an action movie or playing an action video game. Though at 100% Crusher, I think its a bit much as it drowns out the rest of the audio, but it may be good for something I have yet to listen to.ANC 2 - (Audio Noise Cancelling) kills about 90% of the ambient sound around you. You can barely hear your own inner vocals as you talk, thats how good it is.Battery - It came in charged at 50%. Didnt take long to charge to 100%. So using this from a full charge for 10 hours straight, ive consumed 20% battery life. So this is very accurate to the 50 Hour Capacity from a full charge.Skull-IQ App - Just like any other bluetooth companion app, it does what it needs to do. Allows for adjusting settings and updating the firmware.Bluetooth - I had issues off the bat at first when connecting to my Laptop. Nothing was found to identify the Connecting, disconnected, connected, disconnected, repeating issue. What I found was that this headset doesnt like any other Audio accessories that also use Bluetooth. So they both fight for who is in charge. I had my Turtlebeach 6000 Gen 2 receiver in my USB so they were fighting each other. Removed the receiver and resynced the SC Crushers to the bluetooth. Once i figured that out, no issues from that. However my one annoyance that I never encountered with any other Bluetooth headset is that this headset will cut all audio from the source thats primarily active (i.e. the game on my laptop) and play the notification or audio from my phone only. Once thats done, there is like 3-4 seconds of dead air before it swaps back to my games audio. Ive not experienced that with my Sony C700's. It just quiets the audio on one source temporarily.Overall these will be great for (still good for other categories but might hinder the experiences for something like Country Music wouldnt go well with this headset) -Music - Dance, Hip-Hop, R&B, RAP, Rock, Metal, POP.Movies - Action, Ambient / Atmospheric, HorrorGaming - Action, Ambient / Atmospheric, Horror, Music based, Fighting.I highly recommend the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2.9.2/10
