WOW!!! Impressive quality, comfort & sound!!! The NEGATIVE reviews don't hold up!
By T. J. on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024
I purchased the SkullCandy Crusher ANC-2 after reading many reviews....starting with the 1- & 2-Star reviews. I don't feel the need to read good reviews if I can be content with the bad reviews. Many of the bad and/or negative reviews I read were either about: - Bass overpowering/ inadequate ability to adjust - Noise Cancelling didn't work well enough - Comfort - The 'matte' finish got blemished too easily So to quickly touch on the BEST points about the SkullCandy Crusher ANC-2. - ***** BLUETOOTH Distance WELL OVER 175+ FEET AWAY. Tested this over a 10-minute period in open, unobstructed line-of-sight........and over 60+ feet within a house, many rooms away. - ***** SOUND QUALITY is Clear, Crisp, and seems to auto-adjust (not sure if it does or not) for the music I am listening to....and I listen to pretty much all of the major genres...i.e. Rock, Rap, Country, and even Electronic Dance Music (EDM)....sounds great with all! - ***** COMFORT fit and holds to the head whether you are working out or working in the yard, the SkullCandy Crusher ANC-2 maintains comfortability! - ***** BATERY LIFE IS PHENOMENAL!!!! After my initial charge, I wore the SkullCandy Crusher ANC-2 for a full day (8-hours of play time) and only used 20% of the battery....so the following day, I wore for about another full day again and used 20%....CRUSHER told me I had 60% battery remaining after 2-days of use. - ***** HANDS-FREE Voice control and SK app makes connecting to music easy once set-up properly! As for what most reviews "complained" about....I didn't see an issue with any of them really! - The intensity of the "Crusher" Bass 'can' be turned up/down, however it should be noted that the dial that rolls, also needs to be PUSHED in to make adjustments to bass output....but this is NOT like the "BASS KNOB" on your car radio....meaning, you can not adjust the bass the near-0...or even to a "4-level", to be honest. The headphones are made to put a bit more bass-bump into your ears. PERFECT for gym time and those audiophiles! - I mentioned my thoughts about comfort above. - The MATTE FINISH IS THE BEST!!!!....(for me!) I have a pretty active lifestyle that includes wearing around the house....doing yard work....driving tractors and backhoes...gardening...etc. In the short time (2-1/2 weeks) I have had the SkullCandy Crusher ANC-2, I have dropped (or otherwise) them numerous times. The matte finish has never scratched, as I fear a "glossy finish" would have, making imperfections more obvious. I just take a disinfectant wipe to clean the headphones. - I feel MANY PEOPLE who "complained" about the ANC "noise cancelling" feature not working are CONFUSED as to what this is exactly! This DOES NOT mean that these headphones completely "soundproof" your ears!!! AND THIS ESPECIALLY doesn't work if you have no sound coming through the headphones at all!!! If you want those headphones, you're better off looking in an aviation-pilot store somewhere. BUT the ANC feature does do it's job in cancelling outside noise while listeninng to tunes at an adequate level. ---- BTW...I'm not one to ever write reviews for products, but I have been legitimately blown away by the SkullCandy Crusher ANC 2, that I felt a need to counter some of the negative reviews that made me ponder my decision to buy. It wasn't until a good friend of mine told me she loves her SkullCandy products, that I took a chance and purchased. I'm glad I did! TJ

I'm a HUGE Crusher ANC fan and use them to the limit!
By Joshua Gerlach on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025
To start out, I owned and brutally used the Crusher ANC 1 for many years in the Construction Industry. We're talking 8 hour days of Concrete grinding, drywall sanding, rain, freezing, Blistering Heat, you name it. After years it finally gave up the ghost when I left it on a black roof in 100degree direct sun. So naturally I upgraded to this Crusher ANC 2 and was excited to see all the changes. I'm using this one just as hard as the last and Here is what I like and don't like so far. LIKE- Sound quality is the best I've had. Adjustable BASS is awesome for those special songs. Max will just shake my brain. LIKE- Noise canceling: Works great. Sometimes I just put the headset on (powered on) without music to block the sound of saws and what not. LIKE- Pairing and connecting is seamless EVERYTIME. The Range is awesome too. LIKE- Battery power is just stupid good and charges FAST. I forget to charge it all the time but I know if its at least 15% I'll make it through the day. LOVE- Tile built in!!! I will never buy a high-end headset without a tracking feature like this. It has saved me being late to work many times. DON'T LIKE- The cushions have a inseam that is apparently glued together and has started to separate. I sweat a lot while working so I wonder if this is apart of it. I don't remember this issue with the ANC1 DON'T LIKE- The switched the bass control from a slider to a wheel and EVERYTIME I wear a hoodie or jacket and turn my head the wheel spins. If the Bass is max on min it disrupts what's playing with a ding sound and its SUPER annoying. Would like to see: Auto-Power off, Improved Cushions durability, some sort of safety lock for the wheel and buttons, More natural sounding OS voice, USB-c Wattage info next to port, & Replaceable head cushion. Despite how much I love this headset, I'm giving it 3/5 because I feel some of the changes they made were backwards and for this price I can't believe the cushion is separating already. After the ANC1 gave up the ghost, I opened it expecting to see it caked with dust but I was astonished to see it PERFECTLY clean inside. Can't wait to open this one when it gives out. Personally I wouldn't recommend this headset for the $200 I paid. but it is the best sound and battery I have ever used and I'm getting my value out of it. Some songs just don't hit the same as it does with this headset.
