How Skullcandy Crusher Evo is different then other, Review, Unboxing
Today we’re going to check out a VERY unique headphone that has delivered one of the most WTF moments of my headphone experiences, it is the Skullcandy Crusher Evo, and it is my first Crusher headphone,
so I didn’t know about the special feature of this lineup. That special feature is what Skullcandy calls ‘Sensory bass’, and what that means is that these headphones have additional vibration motors inside them that vibrate to deliver a very sensory experience so you can literally feel the bass on your head.
Not just your ears, but your complete head. So the first time I tried these I had a really mind-blasting experience, but these headphones cost around 200 US Dollars, or 14,000 Rs. in India,
so you are paying a serious amount for them, and while they are really great for the kind of buyers that Skullcandy is targeting, these are definitely not for everyone. and there’s just a lot to talk about these headphones because they are one of the most interesting pair of headphones that I have used.
What we get in the box with Skullcandy Crusher Evo
We have a fairly interesting unboxing experience with this headphone, inside it, you get the instructions to operate it on the box, then some papers for support and warranty, we get a 3.5mm audio cable along with a USB type C cable to charge them, and finally,
we get to the headphones that come in this very interesting carrying bag that you have to buckle up to store them, and it also has pockets inside to carry your cables.
Design of Crusher Evo
The design of the Crusher Evo is really great. They look very modern, but without overdoing it, and they just have a lot of interesting stuff going on with them like the fabric covering on top of the headband that looks very unique with their grey-black theme.
The headband cushion is made of silicone with this unusual 2 point design, and they have a matte coating on their body with which I also liked.
They’re also available in a grey color but I think the black version looks better. On the right earcup, you have 3 buttons that will let you control the playback of your music, switch to different tracks, adjust the volume, and call Google assistant with a double press.
On the left side, you have a 3.5mm port for wired playback, a USB C port for charging, the power button has a nice orange accent to it, and then you have this very special slider that lets you control the strength of the Sensory bass or the vibration motors on these headphones.
The headband size can be adjusted in steps, and this mechanism is made of metal so it feels premium. The earcups offer a 180-degree swivel, which is really nice, and the earpads on these are also really great as they have memory foam inside, and they can also be removed if you need to replace them.
What I like about Skullcandy Crusher Evo
One feature I really appreciated on these is that the sensory bass also works when you play this in wired mode. You have to turn them on after you connect them with wire for this, so this is going to consume battery, but they also work while being powered off in wired mode, but then the sensory bass won’t work.
Comfort in Crusher Evo
The comfort on the Crusher Evo is decent. My ears are bigger on the bigger side, and for me, the earpads are just on the edge of being too small, but I still find them to be comfortable.
They have memory foam inside, which keeps them comfortable, and even though their headband creates a pressure point on the center of your head, they are light in weight so you can wear them for some time.
When you’re playing music on them, the vibration of the earcups actually increases the comfort as the whole headphone vibrates, which I think also lets some air in. You also get a head massage while listening to bass-heavy music on these, and it actually feels kind of relaxing after some time.
Wireless Connectivity in Crusher Evo
For wireless connectivity, they have Bluetooth 5.0, and they have a Google Fast Pairing feature so they do connect almost instantly after powering on. They don’t seem to have AptX or LDAC support, but they do support AAC, and that should be good enough for the quality of drivers we have on these.
Microphone & Noise Cancellation in Crusher Evo
There doesn’t seem to be any kind of noise cancellation going on with the microphone but it still sounds good.
Battery Life in Skullcandy Crusher Evo
The battery life on these headphones is also really exceptional, Skullcandy claims that they deliver 40 hours of playback time, which is really long, and I also played music on this for 22 hours, and the battery life is shown on my phone was still at 80%, so I really think they will deliver the claimed 40 hours of runtime. They also support fast charging if all that is not impressive enough for you.
