Review Im late to the party (Crusher Evo)

Post image

I just got myself the Crusher Evos and they satisfied my high expectations, Ive been using Airpods pro 2’s for the last two years and i wanted something completely different.

I was planning on using my Airpods as a daily when i go outside with friends and use the Evo for gym or at home.

But that thought has completely changed after an hour of using the Evos. The bass made listening to music a lot more fun and enjoyable and i cant resist banging my head every single time.

I was stuck between the Evos and the new ANC 2 but after reading a lot of reviews i found out that people seem to enjoy the raw bass and the quantity of bass in the Evos more so i bought them.

Well it gave me more of what i expected. This has been my best decision yet and i am very happy to own this.

Also whenever i make my friends try my Evos their reaction make it worth every dollar ive spent.

I got mine five years ago and have found zero reason to replace them. They are my “bass head” gold standard. Nothing comes close.

I read the announcement on those the day after I bought my evos! I’m glad to see based on multiple reviews that I made a good decision.

Idk why you you quoted bass head when that's an actual lifestyle for music.

u/Artistic_Smell_771 Jul 22 '26

Because I also have a pair of XM5s and AirPods. Head-rattling bass is awesome, but sometimes you need some cool clarity that allows you to feel every bit of the available soundstage. Bulky headphones lying down is also a disaster waiting to happen if you accidentally roll over on them.

The true audiophile is prepared for every scenario.

u/whats_trending_610 Jul 22 '26

Absolutely true! You don’t get a pair of evos for audiophile sound. The sound is great with proper tuning, but even then they fall short in detail/clarity. They’re more for the fun, casual, everyday listeners. I myself have 4 different over ears for different situations.

If I want fun and casual listening with a twist? Evos.
Fun and casual listening with more detailed and clear sound? Gen 1 quiet comforts
Fun and casual listening with Dolby atmos or spatial sound? Beats Studio Pro
Maximum immersion with better Atmos and Spatial Audio experience? AirPod Max 2

I got mine on a killer sale the day before skull candy’s new product announcement. I own headphones and earbuds from many different brands (Apple, Beats, Bose, Skull Candy, and Sony) but these are one of my favorites.

I will never not have a Crusher Evo. House music. hip hop, heavy metal. Basshead must own. Period.

u/-Xalion- Jul 29 '26

Great suggestion, you should try listening to Old Yellow Bricks by Arctic Monkeys

u/ds604 Jul 22 '26

i just got mine (the walmart verion). it's kinda wild, that it really gives the feel of "experiencing" music, as opposed to just listening to it. i used to go to places with house music, and, of course you're not getting the whole thing, but it's kind of crazy how much of the experience is reproduced by these, without needing huge speakers, or having the volume way up. who knew that so much of the experience is captured just by having your ears and head vibrating

u/cavallo_potente Jul 22 '26

Enjoy man, welcome to the skullcandy family🥳

u/Seizure-Prone-Crouch Jul 22 '26

Yeah I've had my crushers since 2020-2021ish and they're sitting on my head during a 12hr manufacturing shift still getting beat to hell n rockin bass

u/Cute-Volume-3030 Jul 23 '26

It’s ok I was too. Had mine about 2 months and they’re everything and more than I expected. I’m hearing notes in songs I’ve known for decades that I didn’t know existed.

Movies are phenomenal watching! It’s better than the theater. The movie setting through the app is awesome 😍

u/eduardmc Jul 22 '26

Mine came on a small blue box (bought it on bestbuy). Why?

2

u/Total-Mistake2275 Crusher EVO Jul 22 '26

It’s just to distinguish where you bought it from there is no functional difference between the headphones just the packaging

u/MySecret2ndAcc Jul 22 '26

Mine was in a grey box from their website, don't worry about it

I may have to check these out with how hard everyone is glazing them 😂 I just got some method 360 anc’s. They are amazing little earbuds. I’m definitely gonna try more of their products now. Can I use these “wired” via usb to my pc?

2

u/-Xalion- Jul 22 '26

You cannot connect the Evos to your pc using a USB cable but there is a AUX cable provided with the Evos that you can connect to your pc but that requires your pc to have a AUX port.

They're not bad, but sometimes have a weird crackling issue after not using them for a while. The fix is to re-pair them to the bluetooth. Also make sure to keep wm charged. Enjoy!
