Skullcandy Bass-Heavy Headphones Are Now 52% Off.
While bass-heavy headphones can be controversial (especially for those who prefer a more balanced sound), Skullcandy remains a leader in the affordable over-ear headphone segment for those who prefer a more powerful bass response. If you’re looking for mid-range headphones that offer comfort, long battery life, and unique bass control, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo wireless headphones are a great option, and according to price tracking sites , they’re currently 52% off, bringing the price down to an all-time low of $99.99 (original price: $209.99).
The main highlight of these headphones is the powerful bass delivered by the additional bass drivers, which complement the two 40mm drivers and adjustable bass slider. Reduce it for a softer bass response or increase it for a more powerful boom, perfect for fast-paced movies, games, and electronic dance music or hip-hop (though perhaps not ideal for podcasts). Even on the lowest settings—and with the Skullcandy app offering three equalizer presets and a personal sound feature that tailors the sound to your preferences—these headphones still deliver warm, bass-rich sound.
Despite their reasonable price, they offer an impressive 40 hours of wireless playback, extending that to four hours with a 10-minute quick charge. Soft memory foam earpads and a lightweight design make them comfortable enough for extended listening sessions. They lack active noise cancellation, opting instead for passive isolation. They also lack multipoint pairing and support for advanced codecs.
While these headphones may not be the best choice for audiophiles who value warm, bass-rich sound over sheer precision and detail, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo wireless headphones are a fun and comfortable option with a unique bass-adjusting feature, and at more than half price, their shortcomings are much easier to ignore.
