Skullcandy Crusher ANC
wireless noise-cancelling headphones
Three technologies headline these wireless noise-cancellers from Utah-born Skullcandy. Firstly there’s noise cancellation to provide a quieter background for your music in noisy environments. Secondly, there’s ‘personal sound’, where an associated app gives you a three-minute hearing test and adjusts the sound accordingly. And lastly there’s ‘adjustable sensory bass’, with a slider on the left earshell to vary an ear-trembling physical vibration which seeks to accentuate the bass response of the Crushers.
Only one of these — the noise-cancelling — is missing from Skullcandy’s other wireless Crusher overear headphones, and yet the price is near doubled, from the non-ANC $279.95 up to a premium $599.95. Noise-cancellation alone wouldn’t justify that jump, but the specs show that there are more changes here.
