My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2
I’ve tried a lot of bass-heavy headphones, but none quite matched the rumbling lows of the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 with its comfortable manual controls and Active Noise Canceling (ANC) features. According to price tracking tools, the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 is priced at $139.88 (originally $229.99), their lowest price to date.
The first time I sat in one of those bass-rattling cars where the windows felt like they were about to break, I gained a new appreciation for the power of bass in music. However, there is an important difference. You can’t just turn up the bass in your EQ settings and get great bass; you need suitable speakers or headphones. It’s an art, and the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 gets it right. I’ve had these for a couple of months now and love them when I want to feel like I’m at a concert.
Although these headphones have ANC in their name (ANC is just average), they are all about the Crusher feature. This is a bass booster that boosts the bass, creating a unique sound signature that makes me feel like I’m experiencing the music live. The headphones also have a convenient wheel that you can turn to increase or decrease the bass.
The headphones also have an “info” mode that you can use to hear your surroundings so you don’t have to take the headphones off, although for my safety I still prefer to take them off if I need to hear my surroundings. They are stylish and feel like premium headphones. They are very user-friendly and have a well-designed app with customizable controls, equalizer options, and voice assistance features. Battery life is an impressive 60 hours depending on usage, and they have a 3.5mm stereo jack if you don’t want to depend on the battery.
At $139.88, the Crusher ANC 2 is a great value, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re a fan of perfectly balanced sound, consider the Bose QuietComfort , which is also on sale right now, but if you’re looking for bass, the Crusher ANC 2 is the one for you.
