Skullcandy Headphones Are Now Over 50% Off.
Headphones with powerful bass often evoke mixed reactions. Some prefer a balanced sound, while others prefer to feel the impact in their jaws . The Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless headphones fall into the latter category, although their sound can be slightly tweaked if desired. They are now $99.99 on Amazon, down from $209.99. (The lowest price recorded was $97.99.)
The thick, comfortable memory foam earpads are suitable for extended use, and the headphones themselves fold flat for easy storage. But the key feature is the haptic bass response control. Along with the standard two 40mm drivers, Skullcandy has added bass radiators that physically vibrate at low frequencies. Slide it down, and you get powerful yet controlled bass. Move it up, and the headphones vibrate your ears. Action movies sound heavier. EDM tracks sound more powerful. Podcasts, on the other hand, can sound too loud if you forget to turn the volume down.
Even at the lowest settings, they have a bass-dominant sound. The mids remain clear enough for vocals, so pop and hip-hop tracks don’t turn into mush, but the soundstage feels more closed off compared to more neutral audiophile options. The Skullcandy app offers three equalizer presets and a personalized sound feature that tailors the sound to your hearing profile. However, there’s no full-fledged graphic equalizer or active noise cancellation . They also don’t support advanced codecs or multipoint pairing.
As for battery life, Skullcandy claims 40 hours of playtime on a single charge. At $99.99, these wireless over-ear headphones are a great choice for those who want adjustable, powerful bass and long battery life without the premium price of flagship models.
