This model has no issues playing shallow frequency content. Shallow bass is well defined, and you will also note that they have no problem rapidly transitioning between low bass frequencies. These headphones are also free of any excessive midbass push yet they still have plenty of impact at midbass frequencies.

The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless have been specially designed to help with low-frequency reproduction. It has a nice solid feel and it’s ultra-resilient. The headphones connects seamlessly with your media device. Its diaphragm gives it right flexibility with dynamic contrast and imaging. As a result, frequency response ranges from an incredible 5Hz – 45 kHz. Their frequency bands help lower distortion at the extremes and create a refined listening experience like never before!
The vibrating part of its diaphragm is not its circular interior but its outer ring. To enable Skullcandy Crusher Wireless better control sound quality and reduce distortion, Skullcandy Crusher Wireless included a ring radiator that produces a very coherent waveform. You’ll note that their diaphragm is mounted forward – this little design technique mimics a close feel of what happens when you are listening to music through a high-end speaker system.

If you love bass, then these headphones are exactly what you need. They have an incredible bass quality that will make you think you are inside a club. The sound clarity is perfect and not at all distorted or covered up by the bass emitting from within.
Performance
One great thing about Skullcandy Crusher Wireless is how the sound quality feels more like you are using high-end speakers than it does headphones. Instead of just adding more resolution; the company ingeniously decided to focus more on adding more bass, sound depth and quality. If your sole purpose is more bass, Skullcandy Crusher Wireless is the best choice for you. However, if you want to experience sound quality like never before, then Skullcandy Crusher Wireless is an excellent alternative to consider - you’ll be able to hear the tiniest details in symphonic works. Any self-professed audiophile is obsessed with obtaining the best device that will allow them to hear every last detail in music – movements, background noise, and range.
This item’s sounds have less resonant feedbacks which lead to clearer highs and louder lows. It also amplifies gratuitous noise as well. You will enjoy how smooth sounds emit from the ear pads and into your ears. These headphones are very natural in regards to spatial presentation, in an entertaining way. If you enjoy crisper, brighter, and more detailed renditions, then you’ll love this Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. Their design and features allow a user to hear small details such as the melodies of a piano, guitar, etc.

Noise Isolation
Granted that there are better noise rejection models out there Skullcandy Crusher Wireless still holds up pretty well. External noise is isolated, and its passive noise rejection capabilities are excellent. However, when worn, there is a small leakage as vocal sounds appear pronounced, which is a bit of a disappointment considering Skullcandy Crusher Wireless closed back format and their price.
Comfort and Fit
The fit and finish are simply great. They have a solid feel and are comfortable in both the headband as well as ear cups. This item provides sufficient adjustment in both headband size and ear cup swivel to fit many head sizes. The lacquer finish on ear cups is a very nice touch. To top it all, ear pads are made of a very soft and supple synthetic leather that ensures a user is comfortable at all times. This model is very comfortable to wear for long periods. Its microfiber ear cushions protect a user’s ears from any discomfort. Skullcandy Crusher Wireless is lightweight as well. It comprises of a small design that provides exceptional balance and comfort regardless of how long you use them. The battery life on these headphones offers 40 hours of music playback. This is quite impressive seeing that you can play music all day and night for almost 2 days without needing to charge up. That is unheard of in many wireless headphones. Imagine not having to worry about your music dying out on you while you are on a road trip.
