5 years, time for new headphones: Crusher EVO or ANC2

These Crusher EVOS are officially 5 years old, and since I took this picture, the other ear completely fell off as well. I have hot glued them in the meantime while I get advice for what to buy. I keep hearing the ANC2 bass is muddied, but I have no idea if they have changed that since the last time I saw a post about it. I also mix music in my free time, so I would prioritize a headset that allows me to hear the bass more clearly. Or is the other features on the ANC2 more worth it, like the multi device pairing.

Please help before I buy the ANC2 just because the orange seems cool 🥺

Sooo, I'm guessing these really old set of Crushers just isn't representative of what Crushers are all about? LMK

Got these for $5.. so I'm not mad. But I'm very underwhelmed with the bass 🤷 ..I had a set of Razer nari ultimate that my ex claimed, loved em. Got a set of Razer kraken v3 pro's now, love those as well. But they're just too cumbersome to bring around with my new dap that I just bought. So I saw this set at a friend's house and was like, sell em to me lol. Five bucks later, they're mine now. I was hoping that I'd get some bass cannons here. The new dap is an innioasis y1 and the equalizer on that is garbage..lacks bass mostly. Knew that Crushers had a reputation for bass, hence me asking my friend to sell em. But yeah, they're not what I expected coming into it. There's a fresh AA battery inside. But I don't feel any vibes at all. And it feels like the slider doesn't impact the bass levels at all.

Is it the case that these old ones just aren't the bass makers I expected, or are these things probably just suffering from busted haptics? (Also open to the possibility that I'm just corrupted from the razer haptic headphones 😅) Figured I'd ask you bass lovers before googling and having AI tell me what's up here. Cuz F that noise. Thanks to all who read/reply 😇

"40% off sitewide" not applying sitewide

Sitewide means across the entire site, all products. Skullcandy's sitewide sale only applies to certain products. The AI support was incredibly difficult to get past to talk to a human, and "Hanna R" with support was very condescending when telling me "sitewide" does NOT apply widely to the website.

Crusher evos bass messed up

So my headphones fell off my head while I was working out and now the bass slider won’t work and the bass is so overpowering that every time I listen to anything it earrapes and when I turn audio off I just hear this rhythmic sound from my headphones is there any way to fix this normally? It was a Christmas present so I don’t know if warranty claims will actually fix it without talking to my mother about it.

Custom ANC2s

I really wanted the FA collab Crushers, but couldn’t justify the price. I ended up getting some vinyl decals of Nordic runes and tricking out a regular black pair. I’m pretty happy with the end product! any advice on what to add or change? They‘re just stickers so they are easy to remove/replace.

Only one side working for ICON ANC?

I'll keep it short, I'm trying to fix my Icon ANC Skullcandy headphones and I don't know what to really do. I've only had them since Late December(2025) or the beginning of January this year and There wasn't any signs of my headphone going out when they did 2 hours ago. Like, they weren't getting quieter each time I used them. Hell, I barely ever have my sound above 25 on my laptop (even that's pushing it) or barely above 1/3 on my phones volume so I know that can't be a fault.
I don't know if they could be connecting separately somehow. When I first got them they automatically disconnected when I would plug them in but with these last few weeks one of them would connect(I'm assuming the right one because it's not working now) so I'm assuming that led to the problem. Maybe I'm resetting them wrong?

PLYR pc connection issue

Hi guys, I recently bought the PLYR wireless headset for my PC. I downloaded the app and plugged in the USB cable like it prompted me and it does not show any connection in the app, but it is connect via both bluetooth and cable on my pc. The AI chat support was absolutely no help, does anyone have suggestions?

Did I mess up buying the Crusher ANC 2?

I love music and I've had many headphones. From JLabs, Beats, Sony, Eddier you name it and yet I'm just not satisfied yet looking for that perfect bass mixed with good soundstage.

Now I know the Crusher 2s maybe wont beat my Sony Ults in sound quality or the momentum 4s but how much sound quality would I really be leaving on the table is my question. Plus hows the soundstage? Did it improve from the EVO?

I had the Crusher OGs, Wireless Crusher, and Crusher EVO. While they were fun and definitely scratched my sub bass itch I think we can all agree they could be a little better in the highs. Now I got a little too hyped the other night and bought the ANC2s on a whim.

And after doing research im seeing some people say the ANC1s were better or sounded better. I would love a 2026 outlook on those with more premium heaphones who use their crushers for those sub bass needs.

Edit - I won't be returning them BTW I collect all my headphones, give them a fair shot, and move on to the next yk.

Looking to replace Hesh ANC?

Made a post in r/HeadphoneAdvice but I figured I'd ask here for Skullcandy-specific stuff.

I'm looking to replace my Hesh ANC with something similar in audio profile and similar/better noise cancelling. I'm looking at the Crusher 2 ANC (specifically the sale on skullcandy.ca) and the Hesh 540 ANC. Should I get the Hesh 540 or upgrade to the Crusher 2?
