Our take on the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Over-Ear Headphones

The Skullcandy Crusher 540 is a wireless over-ear headphone built around Skullcandy's Crusher bass slider, which lets you dial in extra low-end vibration on top of the music. It adds Bluetooth 5.0, a 3.5 mm wired option, a built-in microphone, water resistance and a foldable closed-back design, with up to 40 hours of playback. It suits bass-heavy listeners and commuters who want big, adjustable low end without paying flagship money. Against rivals like the Sony WH-CH720N and JBL Tune series, it trades neutral tuning and advanced noise cancelling for more dramatic bass and a sturdier, water-resistant build. Owners rate it well overall, though sound purists find the bass slider gimmicky and the mids recessed.
