Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC vs Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2
Both are Skullcandy over-ears with adjustable 4-mic ANC, 40mm drivers and app EQ, so the real split is bass versus spatial audio. The Crusher ANC 2 is the safer pick: it has a far larger owner base (9,499 ratings at 4.4 versus 618 at 4.2), patented adjustable Crusher Bass, memory foam pads and water resistance. The Hesh 540 ANC counters with THX Spatial Audio, multipoint pairing, Google Fast Pair, a 3.5mm aux port and longer rated battery. Buy the Crusher for bass and a proven track record; buy the Hesh for spatial sound, two-device switching and wired use.
- Choose the Skullcandy Hesh 540 ANC if you want spatial audio for movies and games, multipoint pairing across two devices, a wired 3.5mm fallback and the longest rated battery.
- Choose the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 if deep, adjustable bass matters most and you want the model with the much larger, higher-rated owner base and water resistance.
