Bass-heavy headphones tend to divide people. Some want a balanced mix. Others want to feel the kick drum in their jaw. The Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless sit firmly in the second camp, though you can rein them in if you want. Right now they’re $99.99 on Amazon, down from $209.99. (The lowest recorded price was $97.99.)
The memory foam ear cups are thick and comfortable for long sessions, and the headphones fold flat for easier storage. But the defining feature here is the haptic bass slider. Alongside the standard dual 40mm drivers, Skullcandy adds bass drivers that physically vibrate with low frequencies. Slide it down, and you get a strong but manageable low end. Push it up, and the headphones start to rumble against your ears. Action movies feel heavier. EDM drops hit harder. Podcasts, on the other hand, can sound overblown if you forget to dial it back.
Even at the lowest setting, these lean bass-forward. The mids stay clear enough for vocals, so pop and hip-hop tracks don’t collapse into mud, but the soundstage feels closed-in compared to more neutral audiophile options. Through the Skullcandy app, you get three EQ presets and a Personal Sound feature that tailors audio to your hearing profile. That said, there is no full graphic EQ, and there’s no active noise cancellation. They also do not support advanced codecs or multipoint pairing.
As for its battery life, Skullcandy rates it at up to 40 hours per charge. At $99.99, these wireless over-ear headphones make sense for someone who wants adjustable, chest-thumping bass and long battery life without paying flagship prices.
