The Skullcandy Crusher Evo is an interesting headset. It was surprising in a few ways, but one thing is certain: if you want deep, rumbling bass, these are worth a look.

Thanks for the review! Helped me and was great info, keep up the real reviews with the actually needed info lol 👍
Thank you for the kind words!
Just ordered a set after watching your review, Thanks 👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy them!
About to do the same on thursday
Excellent in-depth review
Thank you!
These are obviously not hifi, but they're very competent cans (if quite bassy) with the bass slider turned off. I have them as more of a novelty than anything, but I find myself using them a LOT on my commute, since even without ANC they have good noise isolation and the heavy bass actually has a point when the trains and ferries I ride on drown out low tones. It's one reason why every "wireless" headphone meant for everyday use is so bassy. They sound a lot better out and about than they do in a quiet room, where background brings their bass-heavy sound down a bit.
I only have a few complaints - I wish the earcups were a bit bigger. I have a normal sized adut male head with normal sized ears and they are just a bit tight. And comfort is only about 2-3 hours before I have to take them off. They have a kinda nasty static/bass POP when they first connect to an audio source that can be really irritating, but I just don't put them on my head before turning them on. And the REALLY big complaint is that while they have a 3.5mm jack, when they're powered off, the haptic motors don't work. And if they're powered on, the motors work, but a 3.5mm cable being plugged in causes a horrific EMF screech and wine that makes them completely unusable wired + powered on. With the power off, they sound just like they do with the bass slider at zero over 3.5mm.
Still, these things are a riot, make movies super exciting, and give me a lot of nostalgia for being a teenager again in my buddy's beat to hell honda civic with a couple 12 inch subs in the trunk. Everyone I let try mine, I set the bass slider to zero and tell them to slide it up as they listen. Everyone giggles and laughs.
First, FANTASTIC write up. Bravo!
Second: the EMF screech is something I got, too! I thought it was just an issue with mine (and I thought I mentioned it, although I may have edited that out). Interesting that it wasn’t just my set.
Got a pair 2 months ago,review was great tnx.
Thank you for watching!
bro is too well spoken and knowledgeable and professional to not be famous
Thank you for these very kind words!
The reaction was genuinely priceless..
🤣🤣🤣
Just got the beats studio 3 but there getting return for these this weekend 😂
amazing review, just bought a pair and I cant wait for them to arrive!
Thank you! I truly hope you enjoy them!
And your review? Good or not?
Thanks for this in-depth review!!!
Thank you for watching!
The reaction was priceless! xD Looking foward to get one
Nice review. Ajustable bass is a good feature.
Agreed. It's a lot of fun, too!
I got em! Their easily my favorite pair of headphones I've ever had. The ear prices fall apart pretty fast but who gives a sh*t. Small price to pay & easily fixable.
Awesome! Glad you like them. The earpads are replaceable (as they should be in ALL headphones), so not a huge deal. But be careful with the headband: I’ve read some reports recently of people saying that it split on them. Haven’t seen that myself, but be aware.
@@NorbReviews 1 Month Update: Still Going Strong & I Use Them Everyday For Hours On End. The Only Noticeable Form Of Decay Is Sound Purity Has Dropped Slightly. There a small amount of mosquito noise that wasn't there before. The ear pieces come off every once in a while and the pleather fabric leaves black flakes around everywhere.. Still Easily My Favorite Pair Quite Literally Ever. The Bass Slider Really Does Seem Trump Everything I've Tried Thus Far. Its Really Just That Big Of An Added Bonus.
Great review! Might I suggest that you upload in 1080p? That would make a big difference.
Going forward, I will. I was having some issues with my camera at the time and it apparently it stayed in full potato mode.
@@NorbReviews Perfect! Best of luck i hope your videos show up on my recommended going forward 😁
@@azerack955 Thanks for the kind words! If you’ve subscribed, then they should show up when I post.
I own the exact same headphones. Best headphones ever! So much fun.
Agreed! These are probably the most fun pair of headphones I’ve used!
Had mine since october 2020 and for the abuse i put them through they just broke, speaker busted so im buying a new pair, for 200 bucks they are worth it long term and they sound amazing
100% agreed.
Quick question need asap response:
With max volume, and the bass slider all the way up, does 20-40hz sound distorted?
I had the original 2016 Crushers, and they don't go below 40hz, they distort.
Can’t answer that for you, my apologies. I’m in the middle of a move and don’t have access to them, so I can’t test right now. Also, I avoided max volume + bass all the way up for anything but a peek because it physically hurt me to have the volume + bass that high.
My apologies.
hi i like your video :) can i ask if is it good with a little mount of bass and is it loud enough and clear sound? sometimes you not in the mood to listen a lot of bass.. and second question is the bass feels real? i mean is not like fake bass and just vibration . i'm sorry if u didn't understand me well i'll be happy to read ur answer
1. if you turn the bass all the way down, the headphones have a very neutral sound. I very much enjoyed the ability to get either an neutral response or a bass-heavy response that these gave me in that regard.
2. The bass comes from vibration, but it’s definitely bass. As someone who plays bass (specifically double bass), I thought the combination of sound and vibration were mostly enjoyable.
Thank you for watching and for your question!
I got mine this week. (7/6/2023). Listened to music, watched movies and took them to the gym. If you don't go crazy on the bass, they are just as clear as any headphones under $250. Turning up the bass to just 25-30%, they sound more like speakers and a big subwoofer than anything. Movie soundtracks and old school hip hop just SLAMMED. I can't imagine 50% let alone all the way up. It already felt like I was working out in a dance club. I got them on sale. I have ANC in other headphones, and they have poor battery life. I'd rather have no ANC and long battery life for the gym. Also, I like the sound isolation.
Great take! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them!
I just want to say I have got a pair of those headphones that you are are talking about out and I like date and I've been through a lot of headphones when I purchased these about 2 weeks ago co-op said to myself they're just going to going to be just like over headphones but man when I actually download the app and got it set up to how I wanted to set it up up I only had to put the slider up just go now just a little bit and the base just kicked in where are the best headphones that I have ever ever heard and I'm in a sound system myself and these are the best that I have ever had and ever owned no other headphones sound like these Scully have made a really good headphone there one love bless
This is great to hear. Putting the slider up just a bit is how I’ve ended up using them. It’s a really great touch. I’ve been continually impressed at how these sound overall.
Bro Im having a seizure trying to read this lmao
@@disappointmant5887 i thought i was the only one
I have them. Best headphones I've ever owned. Love em
They really are a lot of fun!
5:20 I have a question about this. I do want to buy them. What volume where you listening at? I don't plan on listening at 100%. Are they doing that even at lower volumes with the bass up?
Hi ViperRo, and thanks for watching.
I vary the volume I listen at. These don’t have noise canceling, so some sound gets in, meaning a higher volume than in normally would with ANC headphones. I routinely listen anywhere from 10% to 60%, with sometimes going as high as 70%, but not often and not for long. Rarely do I go beyond that, usually just to test. (I want to protect my hearing!) I’m usually at around 50%.
Still, the level of extra bass (via haptic feedback) is controlled by the slider on the side, separate (mostly) from the main volume.
Short of it, these won’t have loud bass if you don’t want them to. They’re comfortable to listen to, and the bass boost is completely adjustable. Without it, they have a very neutral sound. You don’t have to worry about the bass being too loud if you don’t want it to at all.
Just bought mine at target for 99$. Awesome headphones
Fantastic! Enjoy them!
I have the Skullcandy Crusher ANC.
Hi, I am an ardent bass lover and regularly listen to deep progressive house for which I do need the base. I was using Sony WH XB900N headphones prior and appreciated the bass on them. Not sure if you've got a chance to review them but would you recommend Skullcandy Crusher headphones over them?
Thanks
Depends on what kind of bass you like. First off it’s important to note that, buying the crusher wireless is not the best option now- it’s better to opt for the crusher evos, their sound profile is all around much superior. (And the fit is kind of bad on the original crusher wireless).You can find a good deals for $99 online btw. These headphones deliver that feeling of an extremely loud car driving down the road. Know those cars whose music shakes the ground around them? Yeah that’s the closest way to describe the sound on the headphones. If you prefer the more delicate bass of your Sony’s I wouldn’t suggest going for the crusher evo’s. BUT if you want to try something new and fun go. for. it. Hope this helps!
@@diegohuerta7201 this definitely helps! Thanks!
They do turn off after 10 minutes when disconnected
The word "Garish" has been added to my vocabulary..
These make for incredible gym lifting headphones
No doubt! With that bass, they definitely drive.
8:37 of course they power off after being disconnected for a matter of time, why would you want them to turn off for a while of not playing while connected? The battery life is great to run it anyway
See, even if they’re connected, if they’re not in use-30 minutes? An hour?-I’d expect that they shut off after a while. After all, I’d hate to forget to disconnect them, leave them on overnight, then get a surprise when I realize that they’re still on and I’m low on battery.
But that’s just a personal preference.
@@NorbReviews I left them on overnight and the battery was still where I left it so, quite a battery champ that doesn't need the fancy stuff
in sound quality, Xm4 or this one ??
XM4, although the XM4 don’t have as much bass.
How come mine say crusher xt but they are the same exact headphone? Do you by chance know the difference? They are exactly the same every button every feature.
I don’t know. Apologies.
hey! i've got the same headphones, and it seems my phone records the voice via phone mic and not the headphones mic, could you please help me out?
Hmm. This might be in the kind of phone. (Note that I know little about troubleshooting Android. I just use iPhone.)
I know that, in my iPhone, the system by default won’t record from the connected Bluetooth headphone’s mic. What I’ve done is downloaded an app that will allow me to switch the source. In my case, this is the “Teleprompter for Video” app, but others like “MoviePro” will also let you do this.
Here’s what I use: apps.apple.com/us/app/teleprompter-for-video/id1139307843 - It is a paid app, though. I’m not sure about any free apps and don’t remember the free limitations on this.
I hope this helps.
@@NorbReviews thank u so much! i'll try that out
It's worth it to upgrade from crusher wireless?
Yes u should upgrade
I agree with Leroy. I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.
Bro which one is better crusher evo or Sony xb910n
I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that they’re both awesome.
Seriously, though, I tend to prefer the Sony XB910N because I like the EQ on Sony’s software better. I also like that it has ANC (and the Evo does not). And I like the lighter build. BUT, that’s strictly a personal taste. Both are fantastic, and if you just want ridiculous amounts of bass, the Evo beats XB910N. Also, I like the looks with Skullcrusher better.
I haven’t done an in-depth side by side, but I think I will.
@@NorbReviews thank you for your valuable reply bro ❤️
Better than EarPods pro? In terms of crisper voices ?
I don’t know what the EarPods Pro are, so I can’t say. Sorry!
@@NorbReviews he meant the airpods pro maybe
@@syedemeer6843 - that’s what I was thinking, but I didn’t want to assume.
If he means for calls, the. The AirPods are better. Apple’s microphones are pretty magnificent.
As for listening, it depends on things like voices in movies, for audiobooks, or during calls, but I generally find the AirPods Pro sound cleaner when it comes to voices.
What about OneOdio studio wireless c ?
Unfortunately, I haven’t used it, so I can’t speak to it.
@@NorbReviews- Thanks... Just one more thing........
If u compare crusher evo with sony wh xb910n in sound quality and bass , who will win ?
@@noorshanto3038- Depends on the person, but I like the Skullcandy better, mostly because there bass is so much more powerful, and at times, ridiculous bass is exactly what I want.
@@NorbReviews WoW !
Me compre estos audífonos ya tengo como 3 meses y mas feliz no podria estar suleo escuchar mucho riddim dubstep y uff es una delicia super super refomendadicimos cada centavo vale la pena, lo unico malo es la comodidad son comodos si osea no tengo molestias pero despues de 20 minutos me duele la parte de la cabeza donde reposan, y tambien son muy pesados y si cansan despues de unos 10 minutos ya te duele el cuello ppr eso yo casi los uso siempre acostado, con la bateria mo yengo ningun problema desde hace 3 meses los compre y solo eh cargado los audifonos 4 veces o 5 y si soy de usarlos mucho diario unas 7 horas de promedio
grax por esto! Si te están molestando encima de la cabeza, puedes tratar algo como esto: amzn.to/4cxWzsY
Ese mismo me ha ayudado con otros audiofonos. (Los Bang & Olufsen H9.)
Pero me preocupa un poco que te duele el cuello. Significa que estos son un poco pesado para ti. Ha mi, me han ayudado ejercicios the espalda y cuello, por que tengo unos audífonos aquí que también no se sentían bien (los Focal Clear, cual pesan 450g!).
Buena suerte, y espero que lo sigas disfrutándolos!
@@NorbReviews o muchas gracias
bass does not hurt your ears as bad as mids and highs honestly.
Nowhere near, and this is haptic bass. Bass can cause issues with timpanic stiffness, but you’re right that it’s nowhere near as bad as higher frequencies.
Can I be part of your positive tech community?
You already are! (Seriously, I don’t have a Discord or anything… yet.) Thank you for watching and commenting.
Why would having the bass slider turned up damage the hearing ? Isnt the entire point that they vibrate and dont really on volume to create the bass ?
Simple question, complex answer.
1. The haptic vibration shouldn’t hurt your hearing. However, the vibration may actually impact the cilia in your ears, but that would be rare and extreme (which is what I was alluding to).
2. Normally, bass wouldn’t generally contribute to hearing loss. Usually it’s frequencies higher than 4K. Of course, any sound that’s loud enough for long enough can damage hearing. Again, doesn’t quite apply to the haptic feedback here.
So in this one, I just said what I felt at the time, but it’s arguably incorrect, and you have my apologies.
I do hope you enjoyed the rest of the video, however.
@@NorbReviews I enjoyed it a lot ! In fact I bought them for 80€ in good condition second hand :D. Gaming with them yesterday was a blast ! Played Ground breach with the bass slider maybe 1/3 up. Perfect ! It gives the guns the meaty sound there lacking.
Also listening to DNB allstars was super fun ^^. You really get that resonating bass effect from being in a club.
I can also say that setting a comfortable volume and then cranking the bass slider feels like it gets louder ! But how one would measure this without measuring the vibration ? I have no idea...
Another quirk I found :
When direct monitoring my self over my scarlett 2i2. It feels like hearing double. There is a slight delay between bass response of the drivers compared to the haptic feedback. (I confirmed this by trying it with the bass slider off as well as trying my IEM's)
Never mind ! It actually even happens with the haptic bass off:o.
Very cool product, defnitely reccommend it to anyone who really likes to feel bass :D
I just bought skull crusher Eva
How’s it
What did you think of it?
Studio beats 3 or these ?
Depends. I prefer these because they’re the better overall package. But if you don’t care about the overwhelming bass, or better overall software, or USB-C (the Studio 3 use MicroUSB still), and you can get the Studio 3 at a comparable price, then the Studio 3 are fine: enjoyable sound and very comfortable.
@@NorbReviews does not having the noise cancellation make a big difference on the skull candy's? I'm stuck cuase I like that on my beats studio 3s, but I enjoy bass way more. What do you think I should do ? And is the Sony - WH-1000XM4 better then both these ?
Main reason is the gym
@@NorbReviews lmk please
@@ramonmurillo300 - This is tough. For the brief time I used the Studio 3, I didn’t use it for the gym (I’d just had surgery, and was mostly messing around, so I returned them.) I did use the Skullcandy for the gym, and that was fine, but I also didn’t do a ton of jumping around. Still, the Beats was lighter, and I can see preferring those for the gym. Plus, the Beats have noise canceling, which is a HUGE bonus for me in the gym. (Obviously, if you go with the Crusher ANC then this levels the playing field.)
They both have replaceable earpads, and if you’re prone to ear heat or just don’t like sweat there, I’d definitely switch them out.
If I were choosing one of these two for the gym, I’d probably do the Studio 3 because of the way they’re shaped (less bulk) and the weight distribution (for exercises where you lay down), but it’s a coin flip, to be honest. Outside of the gym, I’d prefer the Skullcandy.
Side note: I’ve actually been using the Project Rock JBL headphones for the gym. They’re decent, sound great, and have noise canceling. (Plus, I found mine for like $80, so you can definitely find them on the cheap.) So you might want to consider those. But I don’t think they have replaceable earpads. (The earpads are part leather part fabric, BTW, which I think works really well.) They also have a full swivel from front to back, which is normally great, but for workout headphones, it’s a problem when you’re laying down during exercises.
You know, I think I might do a couple of videos of my experience with headphones at the gym. Thanks for the idea!
So you are incorrect about these damaging your ears. the Crusher EVO use 'haptic' feedback...just like a gamepad vibration or a smart phone vibration. It 'vibrates ' your head...not you internal physiology.
Hi Scott, and thanks for watching. Anything that vibrates your head enough threatens to damage the delicate structures of the inner ear. Ultimately, in my case, using this too high for too long with certain types of music caused a lot of fatigue and became very uncomfortable. My advice was simply not to use it too high for too long. Happy listening!
I just returned sound bad quality Bluetooth bad quality snd hssing sound , bass its premium put the sound without bass are low i just order a beats studio 3 better and quality sound and more higher volume
Yeah, unless you want a RIDICULOUS amount of bass, there are better options for the price. The Beats Studio 3 get a bad rap, but sound pretty good (just not worth the $300+ MSRP IMHO).
@@NorbReviews i already have stuido beats time ago and for me they sound waaaaay better than skullcandy crusher only whitout that amount of bass but you dont need it trust me i also have a bose quiet confort 11 and studio beats still kick ass for me i think it depends on the person but skullcandy crusher not recomended
Beats studio right now are 150 dlls on target and best buy
