There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
First off, as most people will say, they are an excellent investment for the price. Overall, the look, quality of build, sound, battery, comfort, etc all met or far exceeded my expectations.
The battery is probably the best feature. I got mine delivered at the end of April 2018 and JUST NOW (September 1, 2018) needed to charge them. AMAZING! Granted, I only use them when I am doing something art related or playing video games but that can be an average of about an hour or two every night. So the battery is 5 stars without question.
The comfort level of the ear pads are 5 stars as well. They are not too bulky and feel super soft and retain their original shape after taking them off. I have had BEATS in the past as well and I am not really one for Apple products as a whole. Definitely one-up on BEATS on-ear models. I would wear my beats and my ears would hurt after 30 minutes. Not a problem here.
The construction is very nice. I love the weight and the matte finish. The reviews that you read about these headphones being cheaply made are of no concern. I think you'll find that most people who are always complaining that things are cheaply made or always breaking on them are the types of people who don't know how to take basic care of nice things. Just sayin'. If you don't want them to break or snap or short out when they get wet, then don't give them to your 2-year-old to play with, don't wear them in the rain, and basically don't handle them like an newborn ape! Or at least explain why they broke rather than say "THAY CRACKED AN THAY SUK!"
The sound quality is great. These are a nice compromise to BEATS and definitely win over them in a lot of aspects. I will say thought that I can understand how people say the BASS switch makes them seem like the loud cars that pass your house late at night with their stereos rumbling the windows of every house on the block! These guys really rumble. BUT...I will say this. I listen to many different types of music (metal, rap, jazz, NOT country, etc.) They really affect different types of music different ways, WHICH IS COOL. "The power is YOURS" -Captain Planet. I was expecting to listen to Metallica's album "...And Justice For All" and hear a clear bass that has been missing. That was not the case. I was a little disappointed there. But when I listened to Mastodon's album Leviathan, specifically the song "Blood and Thunder" it really helped bring some beautiful color to the drums. LOVED IT. If you are not a metal fan, listen to something you like. Mess with the volume and the bass. You'll find that doesn't really do anything for classical music but the drums, or beats, on something drum or beat driven can really be manipulated alot better. That is definitely something that BEATS DO NOT HAVE! Plus, if you like gaming (ie. Battlefield, COD, etc) the gunshots and sounds or war really sound real!
I hope you have learned alot and enjoyed my guided tour of the Skullcandy Crusher Headphones from a standard consumer's viewpoint. All in all, return them if you think I'm wrong. Do you, dude! but you won't be disappointed if you have heeded my words! Go for it! Buy 'em! Do it! DO IT NOW!
Update day 4 with headphones...
So first i want to add a couple things i didnt mention because when i 1st used them i was so hyped up from listening to that bass.. ok so these are 140$$ headphones and while i don't expect them to be studio quality at this price nor have active noise cancellation. Anyway to retouch on the issue of the max volume.. yea these crushers deffinetly are not as loud as i thought they would be. Im just guessing here but to paint a picture lets say the crushers put out 100db of loudness compared with the lg tone 1st gen i think 830's or my sony xb850bt would put out 130db of loudness. Now i know those arnt the actual rating but im just setting a example and alot if people probly wont use them at max levels but i do because the majority of my listening time is at work with lawnmowers and such so i can deffinetly tell the lack of volume but i will say if im not using heavy equipment then there's no need for max volume they are plenty load at 75% Another thing is people talking about memory foam ear pads. ???? Where? Not on my crushers. Id say quality foam but not memory foam. Memory foam is very dense even when warm or hot theres no mistaking it even if its cheap memory foam still very dense but itll feel more like foam to where quality memory foam feels more like a sponge that takes a while to decompress. But thats ok im fine with it just wanted to add my opinion because i read alot of reviews people saying memory foam. Still very comfy anyway. So thats just the cons that i have. Overall i wouldnt change my mind on buying these because they just hit so hard and sound great. Its not muddled with to much bass, you can hear every word perfectly its just the bass can be enhanced more then mids and highs which i love. Build design feels solid.. so thats my update! Ill keep u guys informed if something else happens or i forgot something
Top reviews from other countries
Premetto di essere estremamente dipendente dalla musica, quindi ho aspettative abbastanza elevate sulla qualità audio.
Possiedo altre cuffie sia professionali che non, e ho deciso di comprare queste come cuffie per quando sono fuori casa.
Recensirò questo prodotto valutando i seguenti aspetti:
1) Confezione;
2) Qualità costruttiva e robustezza;
3) Comodità;
4) Stile;
5) Audio:
5a) Alte frequenze;
5b) Medie frequenze;
5c) Basse frequenze;
6) Insonorizzazione;
7) Qualità/prezzo.
Ci tengo a precisare che le votazioni che fornirò (da 1 a 10) sono assolute, non relative al prezzo del prodotto, in quanto il quinto punto rappresenta in sé questo aspetto.
1) Confezione: il prodotto arriva in una confezione quadrata, nera opaca e magnetica.
All'interno, non considerando le cuffie, troviamo un cavetto usb, il manuale, un cavo aux con controller e una
custodia morbida felpata. Personalmente non sono innamorato dello stile esterno della confezione in quanto
non minimal, ma valutandola oggettivamente non si può negare che sia stato fatto un buon lavoro.
Voto: 9/10
2) Qualità costruttiva e robustezza: sono fatte di plastica rigida e opaca. I padiglioni sono in pelle e simil-
memory. Apprezzo la decisione di lasciare fuori dalla scocca i cavi delle cuffie, rendendole più semplici da
riparare in caso di guasto. Meno bene i tastini situati nei padiglioni delle cuffie, i quali risultano di plastica
economica e fragile.
Le cuffie si possono ripiegare verso l'interno per occupare meno spazio.
Ho trovato troppo sottile la custodia morbida, capace di attutire soltanto urti di lieve entità.
Voto 7.5/10
3) Comodità: durante le prime ore di ascolto ho sentito una pressione non indifferente sulla testa, la quale è
andata piano piano a scomparire col passare del tempo. Dopo qualche giorno sono diventate molto
comode e morbide. La pelle, come sempre, porta l'orecchio a sudare molto facilmente.
Parlando di comodità funzionale, i tastini laterali risultano decisamente scomodi e migliorabili. Per
esempio, avrei preferito che il pulsante per cambiare la canzone funzionasse in modo differente. Questo,
se premuto velocemente, alza il suono, mentre se lo si tiene premuto cambia la canzone. Avrei preferito
funzionasse al contrario.
Voto 7.5/10
4) Non mentirò dicendo che le cuffie a padiglione non siano un pugno in un occhio. Queste cuffie, proprio come
tutte le altre di questa tipologia, vestono male. Comparandole però alle sue concorrenti, le considero tra le
meno peggiori in circolazione. I padiglioni squadrati non mi convincono e sono anche abbastanza spessi.
Voto 8.5 (riferito a queste tipologie di cuffie, non ad un complemento di moda)
5) Arriviamo al punto veramente importante, la qualità sonora:
5a) Gli alti risultano chiari, cristallini e non ovattati. Naturalmente non sono comparabili alle
frequenze alte riprodotte da cuffie da studio con scheda audio e amplificatore separati, ma
rimangono comunque più che sufficienti per godersi la musica quando si è fuori casa.
Voto: 7/10
5b) I medi risultano ben riprodotti, fedeli e chiari. Non ho sentito alcun tipo di distorsione percepibile.
Voto 8/10
5c) EEEEH BEH, EEEEH BEEEEH. I BASSI SONO PAUROSI, SONO UN ESPERIENZA SE', UN QUALCOSA CHE
NIENT'ALTRO PUO' REPLICARE. La tecnologia che permette di avere questa potenza è tecnicamente
passiva (è per questo motivo che il tastino di regolazione dei bassi funziona anche quando collegate
soltanto con AUX). Se infatti si prova, a cuffie spente, a darle un colpetto, si sentono i bassi risonare.
Da amante di canzoni piene di frequenze basse, queste cuffie sono diventate essenziali per godermele.
Voto: 10/10
Riassumendo, la media dei voti relativi alla qualità sonora di queste cuffie risulta essere di 8.5, che, ricordando
che è una votazione assoluta, è un risultato ottimo.
6) Insonorizzazione (totalmente passiva): a cuffie spente, i suoni esterni vengono insonorizzati abbastanza bene,
mentre a cuffie in riproduzione risulta impossibile sentire la maggior parte dei rumori esterni. Rimane
comunque non paragonabile alla insonorizzazione attiva.
Voto: 7.5/10
7) Qualità prezzo: tenendo conto del prezzo di acquisto di circa 130 euro, di tutti questi suoi pregi e
dell'esperienza che soltanto queste cuffie riescono a dare quando si parla di frequenze basse, non posso fare
altro che dare il voto massimo.
Voto: 10/10
Conclusioni:
Sono cuffie di elevata qualità ad un prezzo di fascia media, le quali riproducono un audio fedele e ben bilanciato (se si regolano bene i bassi), che risultano robuste e comode. Mi sento di consigliarle a chiunque sia appassionato dei bassi, assicurandogli che vivrà un esperienza che lo lascerà a bocca aperta.
Spero di esservi stato d'aiuto.
La calidad es excelente se nota que los materiales son buenos y durables!!
Las almohadillas son muuuy comodas y no cansan
El sonido es excelente
El bajeo WOW
Al parecer la bateria le dura bastante
Puse una serie y es como estar dentro de ella, oyes cosas que no se dan cuenta con un sonido externo y se sienten hasta las pisadas y golpes gracias a los excelentes bajos.
La verdad recomendados!! me di cuenta que vale la pena la calidad. Estoy enamorado de mis audifonos. Me gustaria que sonaran mas fuerte (suenan muyyyy fuerte) ya que el sonido maximo que tiene es del dispositivo al que se conecta. Siento que deberian sonar aun mas fuerte (o asi era con mis pasados). Pero estan perfectos tal cual.
UPDATE: Despues de el año de uso debo decir que sigo enamorado de estos audifonos y los cuido como oro. SUPER RECOMENDADOS. Si quieren calidad/precio estos son los mejores. Aún si el precio fuera mas caro los volvería a comprar si me fallarán estos (no lo han hecho). De verdad los mejores audifonos que eh probado!!! La batería aun le dura muchisimo tiempo. Siguen intactos en cuanto al material flexibilidad sonido al moverlos. Esto es calidad. El único problema que eh tenido y no eh encontrado como solucionar es un sonido cortante en el audio cuando estoy conectado en wifi en la oficina (hay muchos wifi) y parece que usa el mismo canal de comunicación con el modem y genera interferencia, eh ahi el problema (en windows) pero es absolutamente lo de menos ya que conecto el cable (aunque el bajo no suena como con bluetooth). Pero de verdad los MEJORES.

Your ears are about to be amazed with insane bass.
I own both Beats Powerbeats and Beats by Dre Studio but have been left wanting more. I recently started back up at the gym and the Powerheats lack bass and noise isolation. The Studio's have better sound but they wired cord is long and get tangled on equipment.
Cue the Skullcandy: After watching a review on Youtube about the best headsets for the gym, I thought I'd give these a try...and I'm so glad I did.
Pros:
1)Probably the best rich bass you'll get from headset and makes the Dre. Beats studio pale by comparison.
2)Bluetooth - No cords, plus they maintain a 40hours of playtime, though I haven't actually tried this.
3)Comfortable - The cushion around the ear is very comfortable
4)Adjustable bass with a slider switch on the left ear piece and volume controls and power on the right. Honestly, lowest setting or 1/4 is more than sufficient.
5)Reasonably priced by comparison to other high-end products.
6)Quality Build and comfortable.
Cons:
1)While they have a very nice tactile feel, the soft touch ear pieces are prone to smudges.
2)Bluetooth range isn't very far - About 30 feet outside the men's locker room they start cutting out. I noticed another guy at the gym with a pair of wireless Bluedio T2's (here on Amazon at a fraction of the price) and asked him how he liked them. Told me he kept his music device in his locker and the Bluetooth was strong enough that he could hit all areas of the gym without issue. This is certainly not the case with the Skull Candy and a stronger Bluetooth would be nice.
3)If you are looking for Hi-Fidelity, might consider looking elsewhere. Overall a great listening experience, certainly better than Beats in my opinion but I found that sometimes for just casual listening the Bass tones seemed to resonate with a slight echo if I could call it that. To understand what I mean, if you tap the headset (no music playing) they resonate a twang which is likely a by product of the technology needed to produce those deep deep bass notes. In any case certainly not an issue, and BY FAR the best sounding set I've used.
I was reserved about taking them to the gym but they completely drown out horrible testosterone destroying 80's pop music and offer way better sound than my Powerbeats with the added bonus of no cords.
Upon this review I'd certainly buy these again. My laptop is bluetooth and watching Netflix with these is fantastic, it's like having a surround system with a sub for those explosions so if you are cinema watcher these are great.
Had I not bought these for the gym already, I think I might have been inclined to first try the Bluedio T2s as a cheap gym set, sure not the same bass, but I don't utilize the full bass potential on these monsters either. That said, the Skull Candy with no bass boost kills the Beats in bass so I'd imagine that would be the case for most other brands as well.
Five stars, well deserved. You won't be disappointed with these. Hope this review was helpful in your purchase decision.

Zwei kleine Kritikpunkte gibt es leider doch. Das sind zum einen die knapp bemessenen Ohrpolster. Es reicht gerade so für normal große Ohren. Es hat etwas gedauert, bis ich die richtige Einstellung gefunden habe, dann geht es aber über Stunden recht problemlos. Und die Abschirmung von der Außenwelt ist dann so gut, da Vermisse ich kein Noise Cancelling. Die Einstellung des Bügels ohne Rasten ist hier nicht von Nachteil er hält auch ohne die Position sehr sicher. Die Verarbeitung ist top und die Haptik ist angenehm. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen, aber Dank der Metallbügel und Scharniere mache ich mir hier keine großen Sorgen.
Der letzte kleine Kritikpunkt ist, dass bei Telefonaten die eigene Stimme gelegentlich den Bass Boost zum schwingen anregt, vergleichbar mit dem Klopfen gegen den Kopfhörer, was auch andere schon berichtet haben. Trotz allem macht der Kopfhörer für einen fairen Preis unter dem Strich vieles richtig und beim Haupteinsatz Musikhören/Filmeschauen ohne störende Nebengeräusche sogar sehr gut. Das ist mir 5 Sterne wert.
