SkullcandyCrusher Evo - Black (Discontinued from Manufacturer)

First of all, a bit about me that's relevant. Idk if I'd call myself an audiophile per say, but, my range of hearing is fine to the level of better than most musicians.Nothing messes with me more than when I have a cheap pair of headphones which interfere with what I'm listening to.... If their cheap and they distort the sound, or, are insane with treble so as to be piercing, I'll notice and it'll probably be painful to my ears. Most of the audio ranges I hear are at the - 10 range, meaning, almost perfect hearing.That means, even on a $20 set of headphones, I'll probably use them because of necessity, but hate the experience because of how much they interfere with my experience since I can tell if there's a quality issue even at a very fine degree, I'll find it and it'll bug me, and, given that I have headphones on most of they day and listen to things frequently, it's important that I buy quality headphones.So, I'm no stranger to Skull Candy. Their audio quality is the best of all the headphones I've had over the decades. The issue which always has me hesitant to buy them is a matter of durability.Most of my less expensive Skullcandy headphones have broken very easily, which sucked when I was on the go... It was to the point which I was hesitant to buy these headphones because of similar fears and the price...That said, these headphones were an investment, and and investment that panned out.I've been using the Crusher Evo headphones for more than a year now, constantly, daily, most of the day and even when sleeping, so, this review is based on almost 24/7 usage for more than a year... And...They're still working amazing, the battery life is still phenomenal, the advertising that states they're able to play for hours on a charge of only a few minutes is absolutely true too. I've accidentally stepped on them, I've slept with them on most nights, and nothing has happened except that, after such heavy usage, today one of the earpads got a tear around the edge that tucks under the plastic of the headphones which... Thankfully, they sell replacements for the foam.The product is sturdy, has a very nice feel, solid, durable weight and plastic, the foam wraps around the ears nicely, and I can easily get a proper, snug fit every time which, I have a big-ish head and long-ish ears, so, that's not something that's easy for me usually.Not only are they extremely comfortable and scream quality from their physical aspects, but it came with a rugged carrying bag and nice aux chord, and extremely high quality long charging cable. It didn't come with a charging brick, but has worked with all the charging bricks I've used on them, including my Nintendo Switch charger.Now, all that's fine... Being the most durable and comfortable feeling headphones is important... But, headphones can feel amazing, but have Crap sound quality so, that's the aspect I love the most about these... That sound quality.... One word... Amazing...So, everything sounds accurate, there's no distortion and, even having been playing things at max volume for a year straight, there's still no distortion and everything sounds just as amazing as they used to. One of the aspects I love is the bass...That's another thing I need to be spot on with headphones, bass. They could be clear, have accurate sound and everything, but of there is no bass, or the bass is very weak, I physically can't use the headphones... That's how important bass is to me... Furthermore, accurate bass is a necessity. Idk how many pairs of headphones I ended up chucking into the bin because, yeah, they had powerful bass, but that bass wasn't accurate, and that bass lead to the rest of the sounds being obscured/distorted/sounding like someone is talking normally right next to a sub-woofer.These headphones play the bass loud, accurate, and do so without compromising the quality of the rest of the audio... And... Holy gods.... I was startled to the point the headphones flew off my ears by how powerful the bass is when you adjust the slider on them to max bass boost... Why? They vibrated intensely. Not in a bad way, as in, when you have them on and the bass hits and vibrates the speakers, you won't be bothered by it/it won't cause an unpleasant feeling, but it is there and.... Idk... I find I like it because it's a part of the engineering of the headphones and not an unintended result.That said, these are, by far, the best audi investment I've ever made. I have used them constantly for a full year extremely heavily, and they're still here and working just the same. By contrast, previously, I'd have gone through 5/6 pairs of other headphones by Now, so.... If you can afford these, get them.They are technically a headset unit, and actually prefer to take calls with them, but, I can't tell you if the microphone quality is the best, just that I haven't had any complaints from anyone, so, given that even with the best microphone on prior headsets, I got complaints, I'd imagine that is also good with these headphones because, I have never gotten a complaint or someone saying "You're breaking up. What did you say?".These will be used when I get back to mixing tracks and making music when I fix my computer, that's how good they are.Tl;Dr - Worth it.

I bought these for my teenage son. He uses them at the gym and for his computer. He says they work great and they have lasted. They are comfortable. Not overly bulky.

Quise hacer esta reseña comparándolo con el modelo Original, Crusher Wireless, ya que lo tengo desde hace 3 años y eran mis audífonos favoritos hasta ahora.Comenzaré diciendo que escuchar música en unos audífonos como estos es más que solo el sonido y se vuelve una experiencia divertida. Cada cambio de canción es una sorpresa al ver como el bajo haptico convierte una buena canción en una rumba.Me encanta la música y tengo varios audífonos de distintas clases, On ear, Over Ear, In Ear, de Conducción Osea, y Neckbands. He pasado por JBL S400BT, Samsung U Pro, 1 More Double driver ANC Pro, Aftershokz Trekz Air, Nura entre otros , pero además he podido probar Bosé QC35 y los Sony's WH-x1000M3.Comparado con Sony y Bosé, estos audífonos son distintos pero de buena manera. Quizás no tengan la apertura, el brillo y la calidad de esos modelos, pero depende los géneros que escuches, puede llegar a ser una experiencia superior.Cómo tuve unos Crusher Wireless OG quiero compararlos con esos, y la principal diferencia está en la manera en que manejan el bajo. Los Crusher Wireless suenan como si tuvieses un bajo dentro del baúl/cajuela del carro, con un sonido potente pero plano que se siente porque pone a vibrar todo el carro, pero es boomy y hay canciones donde la frecuencia de bajo no la coge y la música suena como si tuvieras en nivel de bajo apagado, a excepción de uno que otro momento. Hasta ahora pensé que eran los audífonos con mejor bajo que había podido probar seguidos de los Sony BT950XB y los JBL S400BT, pero después de escuchar el poder de los Crusher Evo, es otra dimensión.Este bajo siente como bajo de Sub Woofer o de uno de los JBL Boombox, con bajos profundos que retumban y hacen que se multiplique el poder del bajo.Para ponerlo en palabras onomatopeyicas, el bajo de los CW suena Boooooooooooooommm plano mientras que los CE suenan Booo wooo wooo wooo y sientes cuando el bajo haptico va hacia adelante y hacia atrás.Con el nivel de bajo apagado, los audífonos son decentes, con una buena amplitud/soundstage y separación de instrumentos. Son brillantes, pero no tan brillantes como los CW, sino más bien un poco tibios, sin dejar de sonar muy bien en altos y medios.La opción de usar la App es muy buena, porque permite personalizar el sonido de los audífonos según nuestra respuesta a una serie de sonidos que vamos descartando. Aparte, tiene modo para podcast y otro para películas y todos funcionan muy bien.En la parte física, me gusta la calidad de los materiales; se sienten más premium que los CW, y mucho más robustos. El peso es similarz aunque la fuerza de la diadema esmayor en los CW, haciendo que estos sean mucho más cómodos. Pero aún así, requieren de una ajustada cada hora más o menos para evitar la fatiga de la oreja. (En mi caso, ya que soy de cara ancha)De los CW originales extraño los botones, que son más grandes y de mejor diseño + o - en vez de 3 botones.Probé también los Crusher ANC y suenan muy similar, pero el ANC no es tan bueno así que no vale la pena pagar de más.+ El poder del bajo+ los materiales de construcción+ La horma de la diadema es más cerrada y sobresalen menos por los lados.+ Estos usan codecs SBC y AAC, por lo que funcionan bien para Apple y Android. (Aunque a mí me gusta más el sonido en SBC, porque tiene mayor ganancia y el bajo pega más duro.)+ Los colores en los que vienen+ El precio+ El material de los pads es muy bueno+ El sonido es muy bueno y el bajo no ahoga medios y altos.+ Mejor respuesta a frecuencias bajas.- El aislamiento pasivo es mejor en los CW. Estos dejan que entrar mucho ruido externo a bajo volumen. Aunque apenas subes ya no escuchas nada más. 🤣- Sigue viniendo con un Pouch(estuche suave) que aunque es práctico si los llevas adentro del maletín, para colgarlos por fuera con una carabina es mejor un estuche rígido.- No se pueden conectar a 2 dispositivos al tiempo como los CW originales.- No se puede usar el Bajo Haptico con la conexión por cable cuando están descargados como en los CW.+ O - No he podido probar, pero los CW traían un micrófono en el cable que permitía usarlos de manos libres con la conexión por cable, estos no traen micrófono en linea, pero por los plugs, parece que usan el micrófono de los mismos audífonos. Cuando pruebe, actualizo la reseña.
