IMPORTANT piece of info for those that buy/want to buy Skullcandy Crusher Wireless headphones. I'll try to keep this short. Between these and the Sony XB series I chose the Crusher because most if not every review said that the Sony's lose the extra bass when the battery runs out, the Crushers bass supposedly still works even tho the battery dies as the battery is only for bluetooth function. I bought them and loved them, I use them only for gaming and movies, and it FUCKING SHINES! A month and a half later the bass slider, no matter how high or low I put it doesn't change the bass. (Oh, I ONLY use them as a wired headset as bluetooth takes up a few megs and my laptop need all the mem it can use for gaming). Called the warranty dept and they asked me questions (about condition) and I asked them questions to try to troubleshoot first before sending them in. Nothing worked, sent them in, week later got BRAND NEW pair. Another month and a half goes by, still ONLY use as a wired headset and only for gaming and maybe a movie, and the same thing happens, slider doesn't work and bass level is fixed. I baby ALL my electronics but this pair I MADE DAMN SURE to handle with kid gloves, so what the hell was going on? I was pissed, thought maybe it's the battery but the previous conversation with the Skullcrusher guy, he was absolutely adamant that the battery is for the bluetooth function ONLY and also the wire that comes with the Crushers are a special 3.5mm jack that delivers power to the headset along with the sound signal, that's why they say to use THEIR wire jack and not some generic when used as a wired headset. Just for shits and giggles I charge them for a half hour and low and behold they fucking work. Not sure if certain devices need to be able to work with the wire to deliver the power with sound, as the wire is going to work or it's not, there is no middle ground, or if they (and others) were misinformed about not needing to be charged in order to use the extra bass function. So if you buy them and use them as a wired set and encounter the same problem, try charging them before blowing a gasket.
I own this now and these are absolute gem to listen to. So much bass yet so much clarity.. Music is amazing and movies are heavenly on this one and built like a tank as well.. Love these.. Absolutely perfect pair of headphones ever.. Whoever is still in doubt, Go ahead and get yourself one from Skullcandy store or website only..
@@hritik21 Maybe your unit has a defect but mine is still working and no cracks yet..Only the cover on the foam has teared from one side other than that it's working fine..
Saw these at Best Buy today for $99.99 from a regular price of $199.99 and I went home and googled reviews on them and found your review here Gamesky. Thanks to your review I decided to give these a try and drove back to Best Buy before they closed and bought them. I must say I'm truly blown away by the overall quality of these headphones. I've used my Bose QC20i for the past few years and I love them, but I wanted something wireless and wasn't ready to pay $349.99 for the QC35's so I was thrilled to see your review on the Crusher wireless headphones after seeing the $99.99 price point. These blow my QC20i headphones out of the water, the sound is amazing, granted these are over the ear compared to the in ear Q20i, but these crusher wireless honestly sound on par with the QC35's that I tried at Best Buy and feel just as comfortable. I feel like this might be the best $100 I've ever spent in my life, lol. Great VALUE here for sure, thanks for taking the time to do this review, it's much appreciated.
so glad you like thm. i thought at $200 these were a deal so at $99....it's a steal and you simply can't beat them for that price. i was amazed at the clarity these had on top of the bass these produce
Probably to cut costs. It’s harder to put them into the headband when manufacturing them. They fixed them with the Skullcandy Crusher 360 and Skullcandy Crusher ANC though.
Thank you for your style of expression of sound details because it is difficult to get this kind of detail with the rest of the reviewers without the complexity Good luck
Thank you. At first I was getting the skullcandy riff but after I saw your review I changed my mind . I'm picking up my set today during my lunch break. I'm soooo excited . Btw there on sell at bestbuy for 124.99 just incase someone else wants to pick up
I'm getting a pair of these soon and I'm super excited to try out listening to Pentatonix because the bass singer in that group vibrated my ears on the Hesh 2 Wireless (Which arent even bass headphones). I also listen to a lot of mellow/Jazz songs and was scared that the bass would ruin the soft vocals. Thanks for the awesome review, I was skeptical but you sold me!
i bn a skullcandy wired inkd fan for years, bought a pair of wired wireless that were ok but i got these crushers man unbelievable. Props to Skullcandy for raising the bar. good vid Gamesky. Peace
Super fun for videogames, they give you a great inmersive experience with the vibration feature, just keep in mind that they're "loud" you might have some echo
Great video! I loved my set of original Crushers, and the wireless pair impressed me even more. I'm glad you mentioned watching movies with these because that seems to be missing from everyone else's reviews about these headphones, and it's one of my favorite things about them! Cheers!
thanks, I was just wondering about that because i game on my ps4 a lot and i tried to use the sony xb950bt with my controller but the bass boost would only turn on if they were in bluetooth mode with was a bummer
Correction: You can navigate to previous song. Yes, You are correct about when we press and hold ( - ) key, the song currently playing is come to it's beginning. Now you just have to do is release the ( - ) key and press and hold it again real quick. Tada... Now you can enjoy the previous song.
good review man....especially with the genre call out, that was good to know...i also like how you talked about what happens when you slide the bass down - thank you
Wondering if it can be used for casual gaming, more for teamspeak i guess. Do i need to buy extra cables or something or the wires it provides can be plugged into the pc and all is good? Not sure if my question made sense.
Gamesky I just got mine earlier today and wow these things are amazing. I actually have the wired ones and loved those. Even though they were pretty flimsy, the bass is what sold me. After seeing your video on the wireless one, I just had to get them. Thanks for putting out a review on them. very happy with my purchase.
ok I have 1 last question. My battery has still not died yet, which is awesome. But I was wondering if you knew how long it takes to charge them. I tried to find info on this but couldn't find anything on the charging time. I just don't want to ruin them by over charging them.
i've seen the mini and regular review, loved it, but the xl is the one on my radar(i want more boom noise),i'll be waiting patiently, keep up the awesome work
Nice video mate :-) Thinking of getting these for multi-purpose use. Gaming, music and movie watching. Have you paired them to a variety of devices, i.e.; Phone, Gaming PC, SmartTV? If so, did they pair without any issues? Cheers AussieStig
Man I can not believe I missed this video earlier! Very excited to watch this video! Great video and happy with your result. Is the bass any different than the other skull crushers? Does it give any low bass frequency around the 30hz's? Also, any work about the VRA's?
Gamerred It is, the bass can go to lower frequencys, better build quality and amazing sound with no bass if chosen. In my opinion it is definitely an amazing upgrade and well worth it
@Gamesky....I already own the Crossfade Wireless. Do you think it's worth it to sell the Crossfades and get these? I typically use my Crossfades for Jam Session listening on my iPhone and iPad, while Weight Lifting, and for Gaming on my Xbox One S and PS4. I listen to all types of music except for Country and Classical. Which has the overall better sound in your opinion? Which is better for my use cases? Also, if it helps, I also own the Sony MDR-1000X, and the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wired for Office Use.
i would say since you already own the MDR-1000X and the Momentums you should definitely go with the Crushers because they will give you something completely different. It honestly makes music "fun" to listen to. Which is very beneficial while working out or just shuffling through your music. They are extremely comfortable and give off bass that no other headphone can. You also have the ability to adjust it to your liking as well (I stay at about 20-25%) They are amazing for games as well
@@Daniel-ke5sq i actually got them and they come with a wire to connect to the ps4 controller that turns it into a mic. But you cant go bluetooth with the ps4 for some reason
Does it come with bluetooth dongle or do i need to buy it separately? Also, can i use mic for pc gaming or is it for phonecalls only? Sorry about stupid questions...
Awesome review man! Definitely gotta upgrade from my standard crushers. How would you compare these to the classic crushers in size though? They look like they're actually a bit smaller but I can't quite tell
Just bought a pair earlier today. Coming from Beyerdynamic dt 770 studio, these headphones are sick. It feels like subwoofers in my car but right into my ears. The mids and highs sounds nice and crisp with no distortion. A must get!
If anyone is wondering if you should get the Crushers or Wireless Crusher. If you can budget or pay a little extra definitely go for the Crushers Wireless. Crusher Wireless gives you a new music experience. Battery life is amazing and comfortable and music is clear. You can compare with other bassy headphones but not what Skullcandy has brought out which is the feel of the bass. Both Crushers work fantastically however the Wireless version has been improved much more and I really dig it. I would definitely recommend these.
funny question, does the bass from the sensation drivers kick in around 60 Hz like the original ones? did they improve the bass response in lower bass tones??
hey gamesky Im really wanting to get these I have the Sony mdrx950bt love the sound on those but for me they are uncomfortable on my head the plastic headband hurts my head and they seem heavy on my head are the crusher wireless more comfortable and are they light weight? does the wires on the sides rub against your head or ears? let me know something when get a chance Id really appreciate it man good review great channel man
Gamesky I really want your opinion, should I go for the Bose QC35 wireless or the Skullcandy Crusher wireless. Just to note, I love bass and sound is something I'm not so picky with.
Gamesky That is definitely a no brainer, but what I really should be asking is that are they really that much better than the last ones? I've been using the regular Skullcandy Crusher for 2 and a half years now and I still adore them now. I just don't want to spend $200 on headphones that are just like the regular ones, but wireless.
I have a big concern about these headphones. It's about the Prop 65 sticker found on the crusher wireless concerning cancerous items or chemicals used in the product. I do know that its found in many products to food, furniture, and other electronics. But when you see this on a head phone, it usually means that the manufacturer went cheap on production(type of plastic[BPA], Memory foam chemical, etc.). Checked the Sony's, Senheissers, Beats and none of them carry the Prop 65 Sticker. I purchased these and loved them for what they offer(although disappointed that it doesn't support APTX Codec, just low complexity sub-banding SBC), but for the price range it's not excuse for them to cheap out on the codec. With everything I said in mind, I think I made my conclusion that these were made for uninformed 12 year olds that wouldn't care about anything I mentioned.
Zim Gir I tried them today at best buy and I liked the build quality. But if it use cancerous products that can be found in food then it's not gonna make a big difference anyway.
Keith Nitcher it’s meant to use wireless but Bluetooth will always get louder than wired so it might sound better wired than wireless I’m not sure I’m getting these eventually I have the hesh 3 wireless at the moment
I'm thinking of buying these, about the whicking sound when turning them right and left. Does this have an impact if you are moving with them? Like walking? running? Turning your head left and right? Or do you have to turn them left and right very drastically with your hands to hear it?
Nice review man, gave me alot of info. Now I have the original crushers should i consider upgrading to the wireless? one of the key things for me is sound quality and comfort after a few hours, any thoughts as to what I should do?
does it have lithium battery??? how long does the battery last if you dont use them... should i charge them always before i get out with them so i have full battery time?
Hey Gamesky, considering they retail for the same price, what are the best ones; these or the Sony 950bt? how do they compete with each other in the sound department, considering clarity and fidelity to the music? great video btw! eager for your opinion.
Sebastián Domínguez these are better overall, bass boosts higher and you have control over it. Treble and mids come thru really nice and never gets lost. the Sony's become bloated bass when you turn the bass boost on. definitely go with these
Question: do these have good sound isolation and voice? also, what sound level does it take for the music to be heard on the outside of the headphones?
Gamesky Thanks, and if possible please do a review on the Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 I mean I wanna know which to get you know? These or the Pro 2s and i'm torn cause I don't know.
First I was hoping to replace my Skullcandy Gaming Headset with the Crusher Wireless, but it doesn't seem to work for pc (maybe I'm doing something wrong). I mean I can hear something but the mic doesn't work. And for the phone (only tried plugged in by now, not Bluetooth) the sound leak is terrible and the bass is either not there or waayyy to high, but nothing in between. Any suggestions?
I was considering these or the Audio Technica ATH-M50x for music and gaming on my PC. Which one would you recommend? I need to get whichever will give me great bass and sound for both gaming and music. Advice is much appreciated, thanks :)
Cpt Kush Mush I would give the edge to the Crusher Wireless simply because the bass in games and music is amazing. It adds a whole other element in games
Cpt Kush Mush How are you going to compare monitoring headphones to headphone made just for fun? First off, The crushers dont have flat sound, but the ath150 are very flat and boring sounding in my opinion. Crushers for daaaaayyyyz compared the audio whatever.
just got them!! by far the best wireless headphones ever created great review btw and just letting you know I didn't have a problem skipping backwards or forwards
depends on the size of your ears these did not get uncomfortable to me after wearing them for a few hours. maybe a little warm because these are closed back headphones
2:26 how long have you had your 360 afterglow controller? I have had 2 within 4 months break on me. Also, can you help me decide between the original crusher and the grind wireless
hey man I'm really coming close to getting these headphones in your opinion would you chose these or the beats solo 3 wireless I tried the beats on in a store and really liked the sound I was really surprised apple has really improved the beats in sound quality , and how is the range on the crusher wireless? people say you can get to 100ft to 300 ft on the solo 3's I have the Sony mdrx950bts and the range on those are not that good in my opinion
Brent Porter Go with the skullcandy crusher wireless. They are cheaper and sound amazing and have much more bass. Beats are an absolute rip off. skullcandy is bae.
First of all, I really like your reviews on headphones. You cover details that most headphone reviewers miss. I do have a question though. I've been searching around, looking for that all around over-the-ear wireless Bluetooth headphone that has great sound quality for music (I listen to every genre except country) and watching movies/TV shows, has really good bass, but bass that doesn't over power everything else, has a good battery life for Bluetooth, having the ability to use them wired once the battery is out of charge for extended use, and I'd also like them to be comfortable. I've narrowed it down to the Monster Elements and the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless, but I'm not entirely sure which one I want to choose. In your opinion, which do you prefer, and which one would you think I'd get more bang for my buck?
SaluteTheTruth thanks, personally I would say the Crusher Wireless and that is simply from the overall control over how much bass you want. you can dial it back to non existent if you want. they sound great on all the things you mentioned you would use them for and the 40hr battery life is insane. the Monster Elements are amazing but I would still go with the Skullcandy. I should have some new Sennheisers soon on the channel that meets those needs if I can get a hold of them.
My hesh 2 wireless are starting to go out sadly, would you recommend these? I noticed that my hesh 2 wireless has never been able to get extremely loud in Bluetooth mode, will these get loud in Bluetooth mode or will it be low?
Can these cans be plugged into a home theater receiver? I plan on using them while watching action movies late at night. Don't want to po my neighbors.
Got these for $100 on Best Buy. Also Gamesky do these headphones get uncomfortable after wearing them for long periods of time? My beats solo 2 do that and I hope these crushers don't.
Nice review! Mine will be here tomorrow! Looking forward to getting in the gym with them for my workouts! I have a pair of Jaybird X2 and sick of them falling out of my ears and the low battery life.
These are WAAAAYYYYY better than the originals dude! For starters, these don't require a AA battery to operate. They recharge. Second, the mids and highs are significantly improved and sound incredible. And that bass...wow that bass. Explosive, to say the least. The only con to these that I can see is that they do not have bass if they are being used wired. That's because the battery is not used when it's wired, so the haptic feedback doesn't turn on either...But, with 40 hours of battery life, I doubt you'll ever need a wire, so you'll be fine.
how much where these and are they in store yet???? i have been wondering if a pair of wireless akullcandy crushers were coming out thats cool that they made a pair.
Gamesky are you still enjoying the crushers, even if they don't support the latest aptx codec? I'm torn whether to keep them as I noticed the mids and highs sound just okay since they went cheap on the Bluetooth chip. I knew these headphones seemed too good, and finding out they don't support aptx disappoints me for the price point. Especially considering their are cheaper alternatives that support high res and aptx for about 50-80 dollars
+awesome gamer23 you can't use Bluetooth headphones on a ps4 because it only supports chat audio not game. You have to have ones that plug in to the system or the controller
It takes 3.5 hours to charge which lasts for 40 hours. When it's charging you can see a red light, When it's completely charged, Green light comes on..
There is one thing I need to know, I have the Hesh 2 wireless and I love how clean of a sound it gives. I saw that you did a review on those and I was wondering if the crushers had a similar (if not better) audio quality?
I'm a huge Skullcandy fan. I own and use multiple pairs of Skullcandy headphones/earbuds, but I do wish that these came in several other colors. I know that's minor, but I personally hate black headphones/earbuds. I hope Skullcandy comes out with colors for these
Sean Rothberg white is coming out soon which looks super awesome. I agree they should have multiple colors at launch, but I think they wanted to get a sense of sales before having available colors.
Sean Rothberg I have the blue ones right now and I tried to get them Bluetooth but the company messed up my order but I'll return these and get new ones
Just got mine today. How long do I charge them for and how do I know when they're charged? And also the cord makes the music sound drowned out distant not normal
@@OfficialGamesky yes they work great I've sussed them out and I had to keep the bass slider on low because the volume from the headphones boosted the bass to insane levels. I felt like was at a nightclub. The wired were good but they seem more entry level compared to the wireless. Bass is insane
just bought a set.....mind blown!!!
RDDC exactly.....it's very hard to explain how amazing these really are
RDDC Ye they sound beautiful
Still got mine holding strong the bass is out of this world
should of bought anc 2 instead :/
THESE JUST WENT BACK ON SALE FOR $99 at Best Buy on a Flash Sale!
It's $139.99 at BestBuy.
Greatness yeah, and completely worth it
Gamesky Most definately, I'm going to order them, just hope I will have enough money for a crap low budget pc after lol.
Gamesky switch ones are better this or bluedio UFO 12 drivers
i have not tried the Bluedio's yet. although they are on my list of headphones to try
The hype is real!!! Great video!
+Saber thanks, I was worried that I was going to be let down but I couldn't be any happier
you can go back to the track by pushing on the minus button 3 times very quickly
Mo Corfa that's true I always does that don't know why they keep thinking that it can't happen

I listen to all types of music except for Country and Classical. Which has the overall better sound in your opinion? Which is better for my use cases?
Also, if it helps, I also own the Sony MDR-1000X, and the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wired for Office Use.
i would say since you already own the MDR-1000X and the Momentums you should definitely go with the Crushers because they will give you something completely different. It honestly makes music "fun" to listen to. Which is very beneficial while working out or just shuffling through your music. They are extremely comfortable and give off bass that no other headphone can. You also have the ability to adjust it to your liking as well (I stay at about 20-25%) They are amazing for games as well
Gamesky Thanks! I'm going to Best Buy today to check them out! Love the channel by the way 👍🏽
Hey mate . I am thinking of getting a pair of these for myself can you tell me what you think you have used them for a while ???
All I want to know is... do they work as a microphone on PS4? Can you talk to people
@@Daniel-ke5sq i actually got them and they come with a wire to connect to the ps4 controller that turns it into a mic. But you cant go bluetooth with the ps4 for some reason
no work it gaming work
Does it come with bluetooth dongle or do i need to buy it separately?
Also, can i use mic for pc gaming or is it for phonecalls only? Sorry
about stupid questions...
Stop complaining about the exposed cable. So many reviewers talk about that. Years have passed and it wasn't a problem.
Awesome review man! Definitely gotta upgrade from my standard crushers. How would you compare these to the classic crushers in size though? They look like they're actually a bit smaller but I can't quite tell
Sam Harrington they don't stick out as much and they are more conformed to your head so they have a smaller profile but are much tougher
Just bought a pair earlier today. Coming from Beyerdynamic dt 770 studio, these headphones are sick. It feels like subwoofers in my car but right into my ears. The mids and highs sounds nice and crisp with no distortion. A must get!
i completely agree. yes, it's nice to have headphones like the dt770 too but these are just amazing to listen to
If anyone is wondering if you should get the Crushers or Wireless Crusher. If you can budget or pay a little extra definitely go for the Crushers Wireless. Crusher Wireless gives you a new music experience. Battery life is amazing and comfortable and music is clear. You can compare with other bassy headphones but not what Skullcandy has brought out which is the feel of the bass. Both Crushers work fantastically however the Wireless version has been improved much more and I really dig it. I would definitely recommend these.
Oogle Mascot completely agree
funny question, does the bass from the sensation drivers kick in around 60 Hz like the original ones? did they improve the bass response in lower bass tones??
+Dub335 yeah, they seem to kick on about the same but bass is way more improved in these
i just tsted them at lower volumes and they definitely kick in sooner than the wired version did
Gamesky I can't wait to get mine
Gamesky simple question..
Are the headphones good for gaming? Especially the wireless part?
Thanks.
You can use these on pc with Bluetooth adapter but not made for gaming though
You can plug then in the controller
hey gamesky Im really wanting to get these I have the Sony mdrx950bt love the sound on those but for me they are uncomfortable on my head the plastic headband hurts my head and they seem heavy on my head are the crusher wireless more comfortable and are they light weight? does the wires on the sides rub against your head or ears? let me know something when get a chance Id really appreciate it man good review great channel man
+Brent Porter thanks, these are definitely more comfortable than the 950's and you don't even know the wires are there. These are definitely worth it
Gamesky I really want your opinion, should I go for the Bose QC35 wireless or the Skullcandy Crusher wireless. Just to note, I love bass and sound is something I'm not so picky with.
+Malikai Uchiha then this one is a no brainer....go with the Skullcandy
Gamesky That is definitely a no brainer, but what I really should be asking is that are they really that much better than the last ones? I've been using the regular Skullcandy Crusher for 2 and a half years now and I still adore them now. I just don't want to spend $200 on headphones that are just like the regular ones, but wireless.
Beautiful review. Thank you.
I have a big concern about these headphones. It's about the Prop 65 sticker found on the crusher wireless concerning cancerous items or chemicals used in the product. I do know that its found in many products to food, furniture, and other electronics. But when you see this on a head phone, it usually means that the manufacturer went cheap on production(type of plastic[BPA], Memory foam chemical, etc.). Checked the Sony's, Senheissers, Beats and none of them carry the Prop 65 Sticker. I purchased these and loved them for what they offer(although disappointed that it doesn't support APTX Codec, just low complexity sub-banding SBC), but for the price range it's not excuse for them to cheap out on the codec. With everything I said in mind, I think I made my conclusion that these were made for uninformed 12 year olds that wouldn't care about anything I mentioned.
Zim Gir I tried them today at best buy and I liked the build quality. But if it use cancerous products that can be found in food then it's not gonna make a big difference anyway.
is the sound quality as good wired as it is wireless
Keith Nitcher it’s meant to use wireless but Bluetooth will always get louder than wired so it might sound better wired than wireless I’m not sure I’m getting these eventually I have the hesh 3 wireless at the moment
I'm thinking of buying these, about the whicking sound when turning them right and left. Does this have an impact if you are moving with them? Like walking? running? Turning your head left and right? Or do you have to turn them left and right very drastically with your hands to hear it?
no, you wouldn't here it at all. you honestly have to turn them quite a bit to get them to make the sound
Alright thank you :)
Nice review man, gave me alot of info. Now I have the original crushers should i consider upgrading to the wireless? one of the key things for me is sound quality and comfort after a few hours, any thoughts as to what I should do?
+Paul M then definitely. Sound is way better and you can wear these for hours because of comfort
Wonderful thanks man!
No problem
does it have lithium battery??? how long does the battery last if you dont use them... should i charge them always before i get out with them so i have full battery time?
@gamesky do you know if there is a big audio difference between the Crusher Wireless and Crusher wired?
Brockenstein yes, the mids and highs are much cleaner in the wireless version
Great video man, I’m getting these in two weeks!
Hey Gamesky, considering they retail for the same price, what are the best ones; these or the Sony 950bt? how do they compete with each other in the sound department, considering clarity and fidelity to the music? great video btw! eager for your opinion.
Sebastián Domínguez these are better overall, bass boosts higher and you have control over it. Treble and mids come thru really nice and never gets lost. the Sony's become bloated bass when you turn the bass boost on. definitely go with these
Gamesky Thanks for answering man! keep on with the awesome job.
Sebastián Domínguez thanks
Question: do these have good sound isolation and voice? also, what sound level does it take for the music to be heard on the outside of the headphones?
these do isolate very well and they due tend to leak sound where other people can hear it at about half volume but these do get very loud
Gamesky Thanks, and if possible please do a review on the Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2 I mean I wanna know which to get you know? These or the Pro 2s and i'm torn cause I don't know.
First I was hoping to replace my Skullcandy Gaming Headset with the Crusher Wireless, but it doesn't seem to work for pc (maybe I'm doing something wrong). I mean I can hear something but the mic doesn't work. And for the phone (only tried plugged in by now, not Bluetooth) the sound leak is terrible and the bass is either not there or waayyy to high, but nothing in between. Any suggestions?
Kisame Hoshigaki its simple, they're just not for you Xbox try with a flatter headphone like the athletic m50x
I was considering these or the Audio Technica ATH-M50x for music and gaming on my PC. Which one would you recommend? I need to get whichever will give me great bass and sound for both gaming and music. Advice is much appreciated, thanks :)
Cpt Kush Mush I would give the edge to the Crusher Wireless simply because the bass in games and music is amazing. It adds a whole other element in games
Okay, thank you for replying :). I heard some things about the M50x that I didn't like too much, so I'm definitely going with the Crusher Wireless
Cpt Kush Mush you got them? If so how do you like them?
Cpt Kush Mush How are you going to compare monitoring headphones to headphone made just for fun? First off, The crushers dont have flat sound, but the ath150 are very flat and boring sounding in my opinion. Crushers for daaaaayyyyz compared the audio whatever.
i need to get these
+ahmed nader they are ridiculously good
Gamesky I need these in my life, dope review man.
Gamesky also you talked about the studios, but wait till 2017 when the V.R.A version comes out.
security base i am very interested in the VRA's
security base thanks
just got them!! by far the best wireless headphones ever created
great review btw and just letting you know I didn't have a problem skipping backwards or forwards
thanks, I have to say these are amazing and I have been very happy with them
OMG YOU GOT THEM! 😱
yup......Best Buy put them out early and they are worth every penny
What about the earcaps? Do they cover your whole ears? Is there any uncomfortable feelings when they are worn for longer periods?
depends on the size of your ears these did not get uncomfortable to me after wearing them for a few hours. maybe a little warm because these are closed back headphones
2:26 how long have you had your 360 afterglow controller? I have had 2 within 4 months break on me.
Also, can you help me decide between the original crusher and the grind wireless
Exxxtra Bass I've had my controller for 2 years now.
I would recommend the Grind wireless.....they are great headphones
Dang, maybe I'm just rough on mine lol. Thanks!
Exxxtra Bass no problem
i might get these next yr, how would you compare these to XB950? Is the bass better in the skullcandy?
AndrewMarvel - way better in my opinion. the xb950 gets muddy with the bass boost on
Omg I want these so bad!!! Another great review!! Also are you going to get those headphones I told you about the psyc wave zx?
+Kayden Zoller thanks, I will be getting those
Gamesky awesome I can't wait to see your review of them!
hey man I'm really coming close to getting these headphones in your opinion would you chose these or the beats solo 3 wireless I tried the beats on in a store and really liked the sound I was really surprised apple has really improved the beats in sound quality , and how is the range on the crusher wireless? people say you can get to 100ft to 300 ft on the solo 3's I have the Sony mdrx950bts and the range on those are not that good in my opinion
Brent Porter Go with the skullcandy crusher wireless. They are cheaper and sound amazing and have much more bass. Beats are an absolute rip off. skullcandy is bae.
+Bardock The Legendary Warrior skullcandy is for poor people, beats are premium, slick and made for the attention whores like myself
Gustav Lundberg Wow you're an idiot.
First of all, I really like your reviews on headphones. You cover details that most headphone reviewers miss. I do have a question though. I've been searching around, looking for that all around over-the-ear wireless Bluetooth headphone that has great sound quality for music (I listen to every genre except country) and watching movies/TV shows, has really good bass, but bass that doesn't over power everything else, has a good battery life for Bluetooth, having the ability to use them wired once the battery is out of charge for extended use, and I'd also like them to be comfortable. I've narrowed it down to the Monster Elements and the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless, but I'm not entirely sure which one I want to choose. In your opinion, which do you prefer, and which one would you think I'd get more bang for my buck?
SaluteTheTruth thanks, personally I would say the Crusher Wireless and that is simply from the overall control over how much bass you want. you can dial it back to non existent if you want. they sound great on all the things you mentioned you would use them for and the 40hr battery life is insane. the Monster Elements are amazing but I would still go with the Skullcandy. I should have some new Sennheisers soon on the channel that meets those needs if I can get a hold of them.
Hey gamesky What is the clamping force on these? Is the clamping force worse than the sony mdrx950bt?
Brent Porter ye
How is the bass on these compared to the bass on the Sony MDR-XB950N1 headphones?
Amazing natural sound to bass, but must EQ tune the headphone to make sound nice or else it sound like radio.
So this are the best Skullcandy headphones? I'm looking for a review of Crusher VRA
+Aldaris1996 not sure when the VRA come out but yes, as of right now this is Skullcandy's best without a doubt
+Gamesky Next year.
Just got this for $90!! Best deal
Is It Good For Gaming ?
The best headphone I've ever gotten worth the $300 in New Zealand Good job Skullcandy!!
That's too much price..
Would you recommend this over something like the Grind? Would the sound be comparable to the Grind, Hesh 2 or Uproar?
+Vidyasagar Paleri to me this is on a whole other level by itself. The bass sensation adds something that the other headphones don't have
Does it have the clarity of the Grind? (I use that beast on a regular basis, sooo good)
My hesh 2 wireless are starting to go out sadly, would you recommend these? I noticed that my hesh 2 wireless has never been able to get extremely loud in Bluetooth mode, will these get loud in Bluetooth mode or will it be low?
+Autobot Brainstorm definitely go with these and I can guarantee these get way too loud.....I couldn't handle them at max volume
Can these cans be plugged into a home theater receiver? I plan on using them while watching action movies late at night.
Don't want to po my neighbors.
This might be a dumb question lol, Do these headphones have an amplifier that requires batteries like the previous wired model?
Sgt. Mackenzie it has a built in battery so I wouldn't think so
+Sgt. Mackenzie these use a built-in battery and just charge via a micro USB cable so they don't require AA batteries like the original
I own the Sony mdr950xbbt headphones. The bass isn't like anything I have heard. Have your tried them and how would you compare?
+Evan Teubert I have owned those and these are much better in every category
+Evan Teubert I have owned those and these are much better in every category
wow seems like a great set of headphones
idk if someone has already asked, but are they loud? and do they have more bass than the Sony mdrxb950bt?
+Gerardo Ovalle they get extremely loud and has way more bass than the 950 if you have the slider all the way up
Got these for $100 on Best Buy. Also Gamesky do these headphones get uncomfortable after wearing them for long periods of time? My beats solo 2 do that and I hope these crushers don't.
Tyrannical Tyrantrum I didn't have any discomfort with these
how long they lasted before breaking honestly ? because im about to buy these and worried
These are very strong, you're good
Gamesky I hope that, thanks mate
Nice review! Mine will be here tomorrow! Looking forward to getting in the gym with them for my workouts! I have a pair of Jaybird X2 and sick of them falling out of my ears and the low battery life.
+Jeremy Peterson you will love these and they will definitely kept you pumped during workouts
How do these compare to the original crushers?
These are WAAAAYYYYY better than the originals dude! For starters, these don't require a AA battery to operate. They recharge. Second, the mids and highs are significantly improved and sound incredible. And that bass...wow that bass. Explosive, to say the least. The only con to these that I can see is that they do not have bass if they are being used wired. That's because the battery is not used when it's wired, so the haptic feedback doesn't turn on either...But, with 40 hours of battery life, I doubt you'll ever need a wire, so you'll be fine.
to put it simple........these blow the originals out of the water
chuckolatte The bass still works when you plug in the wire
yes
Gamesky sir wat is d light if it is already full charge? tnx sir
Did you hear the weird beeping/tone during your phone calls? It's very high pitched and annoying. I also heard it when connected to video games.
does anyone know if the mic will work on pc, without the cord?
Jay Premier if you have bluetooth yes
Jay Premier yes but with the mic on the sound is shit with mic off its better with out mic on
Listening now with skullcandy crusher wireless headphones 🎧 it's awesome sounds and clarity perfect , I love it.!!!! Shout out from Abu Dhabi UAE.!!!!
Does the mic work on any gaming counsel with aux?
Hi Gamesky, can you use these in wired without battery, and should I get the Hesh 2 wireless or these?
yes, you can use them in wired mode without battery and definitely go with these over the Hesh wireless
Gamesky thanks the wired without battery makes these a must have for me😁
Without the bass slider turned on, they sound really nice and surprisingly flat to my ears. Could be useful as a monitor that can go wireless.
namelessUser agreed
is it real leather or is it pleather? I'm guessing it is the latter even though these carry a $200 price tag
lastgunslinger3759 pleather....but really nice and soft
how much where these and are they in store yet???? i have been wondering if a pair of wireless akullcandy crushers were coming out thats cool that they made a pair.
skullcandy i meant
Ryan Baggett they are $200 and they aren't supposed to be released until next week but most Best Buy's have them
+Gamesky thanks and dang these are expensive has crap. im gonna half to save up till i get a good welding job within the next year but thanks man.
thanks for the info man been looking forward to these as well!
no problem. definitely my most anticipated headphones of the year
Lol yea fr I'm still in love with my crushers and having them wireless is Just an amazing improvement to make in my opinion
marcelo Buchhammer agreed....and they improved the overall sound as well
Did they really lol I still think my crushers have amazing sound how so then?
Gamesky are you still enjoying the crushers, even if they don't support the latest aptx codec? I'm torn whether to keep them as I noticed the mids and highs sound just okay since they went cheap on the Bluetooth chip. I knew these headphones seemed too good, and finding out they don't support aptx disappoints me for the price point. Especially considering their are cheaper alternatives that support high res and aptx for about 50-80 dollars
Gamesky Do i need gaming headsets to play on myps4 or can i use any bluetooth device.Plz answer
+awesome gamer23 you can't use Bluetooth headphones on a ps4 because it only supports chat audio not game. You have to have ones that plug in to the system or the controller
+Gamesky No wonder i can only chat and cant hear the gameplay.
+awesome gamer23 So i need a gaming headset to chat and hear the gameplay
awesome gamer23 No you just need to wire it in
I have a question how long do these take to charge and how do you know if they are charged ?
It takes 3.5 hours to charge which lasts for 40 hours. When it's charging you can see a red light, When it's completely charged, Green light comes on..
There is one thing I need to know, I have the Hesh 2 wireless and I love how clean of a sound it gives. I saw that you did a review on those and I was wondering if the crushers had a similar (if not better) audio quality?
musicalnerd8301 yes if ur looking for something for better audio quality go with these I upgraded from the hesh 2 to hesh 3 and they sound better
Also if u want that vibrating bass go with these
You are able to track back a song. First you track back to the beginning of the song your listening to and immediately track back again
I'm a huge Skullcandy fan. I own and use multiple pairs of Skullcandy headphones/earbuds, but I do wish that these came in several other colors. I know that's minor, but I personally hate black headphones/earbuds. I hope Skullcandy comes out with colors for these
Sean Rothberg white is coming out soon which looks super awesome. I agree they should have multiple colors at launch, but I think they wanted to get a sense of sales before having available colors.
Sean Rothberg I have the blue ones right now and I tried to get them Bluetooth but the company messed up my order but I'll return these and get new ones
How does it sound in wired mode vs Bluetooth mode? Because I'm thinking to boy these for my PS4 and other media
+ahmed6675 sounds just as good wired
Gamesky I'm sold
Gamesky i might get this today, I'm supernova hyped, i hope it doesn't disappoint!
ahmed6675 How was it?
MiniWizard - Gaming & More it's great, only complain is that it gets uncomfortable after 1 hour of use
can you make a comparison between Beats studio 2.0 BT (or Solo 3) and Crusher? THANKS!
Just got mine today. How long do I charge them for and how do I know when they're charged? And also the cord makes the music sound drowned out distant not normal
Make sure the cord is all the way in. The light turns blue when finished charging I believe
@@OfficialGamesky OK thanks ill give them an hour and if they haven't turned any other colour from red then I'll know something is wrong
@@OfficialGamesky yes they work great I've sussed them out and I had to keep the bass slider on low because the volume from the headphones boosted the bass to insane levels. I felt like was at a nightclub. The wired were good but they seem more entry level compared to the wireless. Bass is insane
Just got them. I'm speechless. WOW!
+kEhYo they really are amazing
