Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC vs Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active
Both are Skullcandy over-ears with active noise cancelling, but they aim at different listeners. The Hesh 540 ANC is the travel and work pick: it folds, pairs to two devices at once, runs up to 65 hours with ANC off, and adds THX Spatial Audio plus a 5-band EQ in the app. The Crusher 540 Active is the bass pick, with a bass slider and a water-resistant build, and its much larger owner base rates it higher. Pick the Hesh for features and portability, the Crusher for low-end punch and durability.
- Choose the Hesh 540 ANC if you want foldable travel headphones with multipoint, spatial audio and very long battery life.
- Choose the Crusher 540 Active if deep, adjustable bass matters more to you than a folding design or multipoint.
