New Head-Fier
Pros: Haptic Motors & Bass Slider
Hilarious Levels of Bass
Cons: Fatiguing

Build​

The Skullcandy Crushers are closed-back cans with decent build quality. The cups on these don't envelop your ears as much as they consume them. I can't attest to durability since I only use them intermittently.

Sound​

Driving​

The Crushers are very easy headphones to drive.

Soundstage​

The Crushers' soundstage extends about as far as the cups.

Tuning / Detail​

The tuning is where these get really fun. These aren't audiophile headphones by any means, but they do come with a bass slider. This slider can turn up the bass on music to comical levels. Every time I use the Crushers I find myself grinning like a mad scientist as the haptic motors inside start vibrating like a massage chair and the bass destroys the music I'm listening to. Of course, with high levels of audio comes fatigue, and it is very easy to get ear fatigue wearing these. I often find myself having to take them off after as little as 10 minutes of use, although you can attribute that mainly to user error (turning up the slider is just so fun!)

New Head-Fier
Pros: Has improved from the last version (SkullCrushers) Clearer sound quality, Low latency Bluetooth, Memory foam padding, Optimized low power bass drivers
Cons: May get warm and uncomfortable if worn too long because of memory foam padding, small ear cups.
The new Crusher wireless from Skullcandy is a great improvement on the old Skullcrushers. The most noticeable improvement is NO EXTERNAL BATTERIES which is very important because a person can spend hundreds of dollars in AA batteries in a years worth span for the old Skullcrushers. Another noticeable improvement is the power efficiency in the Sensation55 drivers, I don't know if anyone noticed but they are more sensitive with a lower resistance (15 ohms i believe) which deliver some heavy powerful bass at maximum power. The REX40 drivers are better tuned, so it doesn't sound so high pitched and whiny as the old crushers. When using the Bluetooth capability, I can play most games real time with little to no latency, and if the batteries die I don't need to replace them I can put them on the charger and wait, but if its important I can also use the wire that came with the headphones and the bass feature will still work. The only thing that bugs me is the warmth of the headphones ear pads when worn too long, they make it uncomfortable and sweaty when listening for long periods of time ESPECIALLY while working out, but they work as amazing earmuffs in the winter as well as headphones.
