Skullcandy Crusher Evo vs Sony WH-CH720N

The Sony WH-CH720N is the better all-rounder: it adds active noise cancellation, a much lighter build (about 192g versus 312g) and multipoint pairing, and owners call it clear, balanced and comfortable for long sessions. The Skullcandy Crusher Evo is the pick only if you want its patented adjustable sensory bass, which no other headphone here offers, plus longer battery life and a folding travel case. Build quality is solid on both, but the Crusher Evo is heavy and its bass slider is a love-it-or-leave-it feature, while Sony's noise cancellation is modest and its bass is only adequate.

• Choose the Crusher Evo if you want adjustable, bone-shaking bass, up to 40 hours of playtime and a folding design with a case for travel.
• Choose the Sony WH-CH720N if you want active noise cancellation, a light fit for all-day wear, multipoint pairing and a more neutral sound.
