Skullcandy Crusher Wireless Over-Ear Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone and Android with Microphone / 40 Hours Battery Life/Extra Bass Tech/Great for Music, School, Workouts, and Gaming - Black

Skullcandy "Crusher" Wireless headphones. I have wanted a quality pair of headphones for sometime and I thoroughly researched all makes and models at the €100 ish price range. I decided against some strong contenders from Sony, AKG and Sennheiser and purchased these as a belated Crimbo present :) No they are not perfect. Nothing to do with music reproduction ever is no matter how much you spend and at one time I did spend lots on my Hi-Fi. Now my criteria for music has lowered a little. Now all I want is for it to be enjoyable. What these can do is truly phenomenal. Apart from the battery that never seems to run out, and the easy Bluetooth connection to any compatible device, the main attraction is the music and the Skullcandy gimmick of making the bass notes an actual, physical thing. When I read other reviews I was thinking, yes, neat trick but is it distracting ? Does the other music get drowned out by the bass ? No and NO ! It's an amazing addition and blows cobwebs off your music collection.Nearly everything I tried was improved to a point. Some more than others but, overall, they make everything more enjoyable.Predictably, bass heavy productions come out well but they do on most systems. I played a full range of musical genres including Prince, Queen, Michael Jackson, Moby, James, Jethro Tull, AC/DC, Kate Bush, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt,Talking Heads, Radiohead, and hundreds of others. Even Eminem and Nelly were briefly entertained ;) I also tried some chamber music and that was very impressive too. Just to see how they handle music with little bass. The very first track I played was Van Morrison-Rough God Goes Riding off his Duets album. Unbelievable. I had to lower the bass setting a little as my few remaining fillings were in danger of falling out ! I couldn't wait to try other songs after that. They are very comfortable to wear and the quality of the product is excellent. To think they have a pair of Limited Edition 360 Crushers for €300 is intriguing. At that price they must be a lot better than the standard ones and the competition at the 300 price point includes the supposedly unbeatable Sony WH-1000XM3. So if you're looking for headphones that you can use anywhere, these are well worth a listen.

As the title suggests, these headphones are truly amazing but sadly the only problem I have with them (well, 2 actually but I'll get onto that in a bit) is the fact that they aren't glasses-friendly. With the amount of pressure they apply to your ears they certainly won't be coming off even with violent headbanging but that's the problem. They apply too much pressure. I'm not trying to say that feel awful but a swivel cup would have been a nice addition and wouldn't have added much more to the manufacturing costs at all. The sound: You buy expensive or audiophile grade headphones for the quality of the sound. I'm no true audiophile but I am heavily into crisp, clear sound with balanced mids and bass. I noticed a few people complaining about the sound but in all honesty, I can't fault the drivers at all. To me (and as I said, I like clear sound) they sound perfect for this price. The bass slider does kill the overall quality by making the only thing you can hear (and feel) is pure bass, which is why I recommend it just above off or in the middle. Feel: The feel of the headphones in the hand and on your head or neck is nothing short of exceptional. They don't weigh much in the grand scheme of things but they don't feel like they are weightless either. I think Skullcandy got the weight just right. Not too heavy but not too light either. Comfort: I already covered this on the first paragraph but I'll explain a bit more about it. They're decent in terms of comfort on your head. If Skullcandy made a swivel cup on the next revision of these headphones then I'd fall in love in an instant. But as they are, the angle of the cups isn't ideal, they apply way too much pressure to the lower half of your ear and if you've got a medium sized head then unfortunately you'll have to endure slight discomfort while wearing them. And if you've got glasses then it's even worse.. Battery: Now, this is a bit of a mixed bag. What I mean by that is the rated 40 hours, it might seem like a lot but remember that there's a lot more space to put a larger battery in compared to sports wireless earbuds. Yes, 40 hours is perfect if you use them while working like me, but overall its not that big considering the size and design of the headphones. Conclusion: Overall, I am truly impressed and blown away at how great they are! I'd never turn them down, ever! The only real consideration you should think about before buying is do you wear glasses, if so. Make sure you've got some sort of method to reduce the pressure they put.

After retiring my old wired Skullcandy Crushers that I've had for roughly 3 years, I decided to upgrade to these pairs. PROS: - The sound is high quality, there are no hiccups in sound quality. - The headphones are well-built. - Comfortable on the head, soft earmuffs and premium quality leather headband. - You can have quite some distance to the connect device without loss of quality in sound. - The built-in microphone on the actual headphones (not the inline wire) is incredible quality for a built-in mic. - Long battery life with short charging times. - Easy to pair to any device, takes less than a minute to setup, and less than 10 seconds to connect to the same paired device hereafter. - Big buttons on the back right side are easy to locate when you want to pause, play, skip songs etc. - Simple design, not too flashy, comes in a nice matte black colour. - Light on the head, doesn't feel too heavy - The bass works even when the battery is dead, and it's plugged in using the wire. CONS: - Can't charge them whilst using them as wired headphones. - The micro-USB charging wire that comes with the headphones are extremely short. - Being too far from connected device reduces volume ever so slightly. - The bass compared to the previous wired model are better, but they don't vibrate like the previous model. - Having the bass slider medium to high can muffle the sound, if the volume is low. - The earmuffs don't swivel very much from the headband or at all. However, it doesn't feel stiff on the head - There are exposed wires above each earmuff. Would've preferred these to be built into the headband and hidden as they are very thick wires. - High sound leakage.

I HAD THESE HEADHONES FOR 3 MONTHS 1st of all, the sound on these headphones is really good 2nd, the haptic bass will not pick up a lot of base frequencies, like mid ends or even really low ends...and most of the time only one tone of bass will be wayy to overpowera while the other tones will be given by the stereo speakers and will bot be balanced at all 3rd, there are songs which will sound good and balanced with your headphones, but most of them as i said some tones of bass will be weak while others will be too overpowered 4th, the battery life is the best, if you charge them you will not to worry about them dying on u a cour days after charging, is just great 5th the clamping force is tight and maybe they will not feel too hood over long periods of time (i am good with them in the gym but other might not like it), but on the other hand it is tight to help with the noice reduction which is also great 6th, many people are complaining about the built quality being bad, but i haven't encountered that! I handle them with care (as everyone should) as they are made of plastic at the end of the day, which by the way is good quality plastic, yes i have mad some scratches accidentally, but other than that they feel really solid, but i see where they might have the potential to fail and that is where the screws are, above the aluminium band and also with the two frame sides holding the cups (i don't see any sign of them braking or any cracks but i also saw reviews and photos) OVERALL, if you like bass you should consider it but be aware that the bass tones might not be balanced even on the songs you want to listen the most on them, so that can be a bit disappointing but you will be able to blend the tones if you lower the bass slider, also you are gonna want to take a little care with them as they are not the best rated for durability... If i knew that the bass was not exactly what i expected would i still buy them?...well, yes for £90 i think it is a good pair of headphones and if you lower the bass slider you can manage to balance out the tones on songs that need it!

I must admit, I've always had a preconception that Skullcandy were an overpriced brand marketed specifically at teens and I've therefore always avoided them. However, after spending hours testing various headphones in store and reading numerous reviews, I can honestly say that these headphones are amazing. The sound quality, while not as clean and accurate as say the Audio Technica MSR7s, is top notch. Especially if you are into bass heavy music, which these are clearly geared towards. The adjustable haptic bass slider is a great addition and can really take your music to the next level, providing you enjoy that sort of thing. Though I found that around half way is the sweet spot for most bass heavy songs. Beyond that it can be just too overpowering, often distorting the track. It literally feels like standing next to the speakers in a night club. Which, admittedly, isn't always a bad thing! If you're listening to these through your mobile the sound is great out of the box, however if you intend on listening to these through a computer, you may need to tweak your EQ settings. I found that through my own PC, the top end needed boosted a little as vocals felt a little drowned out by the lows. But once I'd made those tweaks they sound great wherever I listen to them. If you're a regular commuter you cannot go wrong with these. The build quality is fantastic, they look stylish and understated and they're super comfortable due to the memory foam padding. The clamp on these felt a little tight at first, but you quickly get used to it. I've worn these pretty much all day from 7am to 7pm for the past week and I've yet to experience any discomfort or overheating. For the price, I cannot recommend these headphones enough. These have completely changed my opinion on Skullcandy. Top quality product at a great price.

Don't get misled by the 3 stars!!!! These headphones may be 5 star for you...or even 1 star. Why? Keep reading. To me...sound and what you get in the sense of audio - this is the BEST headphones I ever had a chance to wear, and I wore a LOT of headphones. If you are a BASSHEAD they are giving you a real sensation of a subwoofer...like no other headphones. That can be adjusted to your preference. However, if you are a gamer looking for a headset - better run away or just forget that they have integrated microphone. They can't be used as a headset since using Bluetooth is instantly switching them from Headphones to Headset, selecting "handsfree" profile...and then you get 1 channel, tape quality sound that is just disasterous. 1 star for gaming. So, all in all - be VERY careful why you buy them. Build quality is great, clamping force a bit stronger but they can't be shaken off, passive sound isolation there, comfortable pads present...a bit too small ear hole so some of you won't fit your ears inside. Range is ok, but limiting...and they do get prone to interference via USB 3.0 ports if you don't use extending cable. So...there it is. AWESOME for Singleplayer. TERRIBLE for Multiplayer. MUST have for bass rich music. IGNORE for treble.

this review is going to be based on coming from the original crushers, The advantages of these wireless crushers are they they are rechargeable and they have a much greater build quality but that's I'll I'd give them over the originals, the originals bass was a good amount and was an enjoyable listening experience, the wireless version however seem to have a very heavy synthetic over powering bass which makes for a difficult sound and I had to have the bass on mid to make it reasonable otherwise the bass will just destroy the music with the synthetic bass, if you're considering upgrading to these from the originals you need to take things into account, if you want your headphones to give you a big bass feel and don't care for music quality you just want thumping headache inducing bass then these are for you, but if you want crisp clear nice bass that you can happily chill to then I wouldn't recommend these, the only way I can describe these headphones is that they're a gimmick for bass, yes you can feel the bass but it's not a good feeling it's a overpowering fake bass that doesn't feel like it's from the music you're listening to it's the kind of bass that is like when you're standing outside a club and all you can hear is bass and normally when you go inside the club you hear the music and the bass blends with it but with these the bass noise stays and gets louder without the music blending it's just pure fake bass and that's all that I can say it's a fake synthetic bass sound in every song ***Update*** Around a month later the bass slider has broken, idk how it's broke it's simply not connected to anything it's just loose so the bass can no longer be altered, don't buy these

I bought these after I bought the sony XB950BT headphones and wanting more bass. Having both to compare side by side the XB950BT's are more comfortable to wear as I find that these squeeze bit but that could just be me. I personally find them louder and crisper than the sony's also. The bass is just crazy. I've never experienced anything like it in a pair of headphones before. The fact that you can adjust the bass accordingly to each song is perfect. They have two drivers in each earcup one main 40mm @ 32 ohms and a 32mm "crusher" driver @ 13 ohms. They vibrate your whole head and feels like you have subwoofer strapped to you. When I first tried them out and I put the slider up I had a constant smile on my face of joy and disbelief. You get up to 40hrs battery life. The bass and mic still works when using the cable is just a bonus plus it comes with a case. None of which the Sony does. My only negative point is the bass frequency range of the 32mm "crusher driver" is not as low as the Sony so sometimes it doesn't pick up the really low bass tones like in some trap music (future, migos) so I found that if I turned the slider down the larger main driver was able to pick them up instead. It wasn't brain crushing bass but was still heavy enough to be enjoyable. But other than that, I love these headphones. Came on time and nicely packed. I've since sold my sony's.

I bought this headphones only for bass nothing else. I have done my research and gone through as many reviews on internet possible. Many have said wrong things about it but majority accepts the Skullcandy Crusher's dominance in the bass department. So I made up mind and got this instead of Sony XB950 which was the only real challenger for Crusher in this price range. Honestly I don't know how the Sony sounds since I have never tried it. My expectations was quite high before I received my package. The crusher literally blew me out despite my unrealistic expectations. This much bass in a headphone really? that's unbelievable you gotta listen to it to believe it. My only worry about it before purchasing one was 'what if it is all vibrations or some fake bass?' but believe me and stop listening to critics saying so. It's not vibration it's real as hell. Yeah, think about you put your ears close to a large sub woofer all you hear is vibration and rumble right? Is that fake? No its natural, the deeper the bass is the more vibration is. That's exactly what you can hear with this headphone. Let me be honest I am not a fan of the overkill bass that some enjoy in their car. The wild and crazy vibration happens only if you turn the bass slider all the way up which is unbearable to listen to for long. I enjoy tight mid range bass more than vibrating bass. So I don't even have to move that bass slider at all. This already has more than enough bass without the slider. For some bass heavy songs with emphasis on very low deep bass I would slide it just a quarter max and that will give you that sub woofer effect more than you need. The problem with going crazy with the slider is that it takes away the mids and highs away and all you can hear is overpowering bass. Nonetheless the option is there for the user to decide how much bass they want. My only concern about this headphone is that it can't really perform well at lower volume. You have to start from at least 50% to get a decent loudness. Anything below 50% is too quiet. I don't know if it has something to do with my laptop's Bluetooth quality because I get little more loudness using it with my iPhone with the same volume level. I used to listen to music at 25% using my Sony XB450 which costs only 1800 Rupees (about 25 USD) which is pretty loud even at that level. I think this is probably a common problem among headphones with larger drivers as they need more output power to operate. But it's no big deal anyway. Your new normal listening volume level will be 50 instead of 30 if you have switched from a smaller headphone to something like the Crusher like myself. Once again don't expect too much clarity on mids and highs with this as this is purely a basshead headphone. Mids and highs are good but not great. I had a little trouble with Bluetooth connectivity too. I had to reset the headphone a couple of times to get it detected by my PC which is a bit worrisome but it's been only a few hours since I got my dream headphone. I am figuring it out. In conclusion this is probably the best bass headphone in the world for this price range. I would like to hear from people who got XB950s on how it sounds. I am proud that I have spent my money wisely and got something worth more than the money.

Zuerst war ich ob der geteilten Meinungen über den Bass Boost etwas skeptisch, aber der lässt sich rech gut von Null bis völlig übertrieben regeln. Ein Drittel hätte auch gereicht und ließe sich feiner regeln. Bedienung ist intuitiv. Toll sind die klar erfühlbaren, großen Tasten. Sehr schön das mitgelieferte "Notfall"-Kabel mit separatem Mikro. Gut auch, dass die Bluetooth Funktion automatisch abgeschaltet wird wenn man das Kabel ansteckt. Der Klang ist für meinen Geschmack sehr ausgewogen und durchaus detailliert. Der Bass Boost ist ein nettes Feature was erstaunlich gut funktioniert, nur übertreiben darf man es nicht, da es dem Bass sonst sehr schnell die Präzision raubt. Schön ist, dass man die Kopfhörer platzsparend zusammenklappen und in den mitgelieferten Schutzbeutel, mit eingenähten Taschen für Kabel, geschützt verstauen kann. Der Akku hält ewig, das ist wirklich sensationell. Und schnell geladen ist er auch wieder. Da können sich andere Hersteller eine Scheibe davon abschneiden. Zwei kleine Kritikpunkte gibt es leider doch. Das sind zum einen die knapp bemessenen Ohrpolster. Es reicht gerade so für normal große Ohren. Es hat etwas gedauert, bis ich die richtige Einstellung gefunden habe, dann geht es aber über Stunden recht problemlos. Und die Abschirmung von der Außenwelt ist dann so gut, da Vermisse ich kein Noise Cancelling. Die Einstellung des Bügels ohne Rasten ist hier nicht von Nachteil er hält auch ohne die Position sehr sicher. Die Verarbeitung ist top und die Haptik ist angenehm. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen, aber Dank der Metallbügel und Scharniere mache ich mir hier keine großen Sorgen. Der letzte kleine Kritikpunkt ist, dass bei Telefonaten die eigene Stimme gelegentlich den Bass Boost zum schwingen anregt, vergleichbar mit dem Klopfen gegen den Kopfhörer, was auch andere schon berichtet haben. Trotz allem macht der Kopfhörer für einen fairen Preis unter dem Strich vieles richtig und beim Haupteinsatz Musikhören/Filmeschauen ohne störende Nebengeräusche sogar sehr gut. Das ist mir 5 Sterne wert.

I LOVE THESE! They're just the experience I was looking for! Adjustable bass, good maximum volume and they don't "auto-pause" when detecting that you've taken them off or moved them. That mechanism can often work against you. My ONLY gripe is that they're loud and not noise cancelling so if you're in a quiet place, you'll have to lower the volume so as not to distract others around you. But that's not something I'd mark them down on. They're just really good! And expect a lot of vibration around your ears. It can tickle at first but you get used to it.

The Skull Candy Crusher Wireless is a great set of cans for multiple uses. Let me say, first, we have bought 3 pairs of these in less than a year. First pair was for our 15 yo son, second pair was for my husband, and the third pair I finally bought for myself (early Xmas gift). The fact we have 3 pairs of these should say it all! All 3 pairs we bought are in black. Too many reviews had the white pair breaking, so with this last purchase, I felt there were not enough reviews with enough time on them for the new colors to make me feel confident they, too, would not break in the same spot as the white ones. So, black it was. One can never go wrong with black in headphones! The first pair was bought in early May, for a 15 yo who is not always super careful with his stuff. They've been dropped, and used every single day by him and are still working perfectly, still charge just as fast and the battery still lasts forever. They have held up to his clumsiness and look as if we bought them yesterday, though they've been dropped and dinged here and there. My husband got his the 3rd week in May and he uses his constantly. He works from home and is on the phone a LOT. Conference calls, broadcasts (radio/YouTube for interviews), and phone calls/video calls with friends both here in the States and globally. As for my husband's use - they DO work with Skype on a cell - we have Note 9s, and they DO work with Skype via the computer (for reference, he has an Asus Rog). He had to go into Skype and tell it to recognize these particular cans. They didn't work at first, but he did finally get them to. They work on all of our other call apps, WhatsApp, Wire, Signal, VSee Etc. They work with our regular phone calls beautifully too. They also connect to our Bluetooth unit we have hooked into our TV. They both connect even though we have the same headphones. We had some trouble getting 2 identical headphones connecting at first. One would automatically pick up, then we had to activate pairing mode on the headphones then press our bluetooth button on the tv unit and then it found them. Took a day to figure it out, but we did it lol! They work AWESOME with that! If you turn the bass all the way up or 3/4 of the way up, I swear, it seriously feels like you are sitting in a movie theater. The sound quality is awesome for watching tv. Often, one of us will fall asleep and to avoid waking the other, tv gets muted and headphones go on. Now, we use them even when we are both awake because they make for a great experience with the upgraded sound for the tv! Our son just keeps them connected to his phone or he uses the auxiliary cord and plugs them into his switch when he plays it. Sure beats ear buds. Plus, our son says earbuds are super uncomfortable for him and refuses to use them, so that's why we initially bought these for him. The battery life is CRAZY GOOD! This is one of the reasons we went with these 3 times. They charge up from fully drained fairly quick (a few hours) and the battery lasts FOREVER. This battery, by far, is the best out there. Nothing else to say - battery life is AMAZING. Side note - they sound even better when you go in to your cell and tweak the audio settings to your liking. On our Notes, we both had to download a good EQ/audio app and we tweaked from there. He did the same thing on his laptop, and again, amazing sound. Hes a bit of an audiophile, and while no - these aren't the top cans for an audiophile, but he is very impressed with the sound (music/tv) for the price. He actually loves these and prefers these cans for calls, watching TV, and listening to music over his top dollar Sony Noise Cancelling headphones and over his even higher priced Sennheisers. He got these because he needed a good pair with a good mic and sound for calls (as people were complaining over hearing him with the Sonys), and true cans for audiophiles, well, you can't really use them for phone calls lol. He has an expensive pair of Sennheiser cans, and once tweaked, honestly, these sounded better to me than the $400 ones. But - my ears are super sensitive to treble and it hurts my ears. So the highs not being very pronounced with these is perfect for me. The mids are definitely recognizable and neither of us have any issue with sound nor do we miss anything. When watching tv you pick up on all of the little background things you never notice. With music, you can actually hear the singer take the smallest of breaths where you couldn't before. Again, ours are tweaked for our phones and computers, BUT they are NOT tweaked for our tv, it's impossible there and we still catch every little thing. So far, the hinges are holding up. Before we purchased these for our son, we actually went to Best Buy and looked at all of the models and different brands. Skull Candy, overall, were the best for the money and comfort out of all their in-store models. When we compared these to the Venues, we went with these because they feel far more substantial than the Venues. These are heavier and feel/seem to be made sturdier than the Venues. It seems to me the only differences in the two models are - ear pieces twist out on the Venue not on the Crusher, Venue has noise cancelling and Crushers do not, Crusher has the added bass adjustment & Venues don't, and finally, the Crusher seems far strudier/a bit heavier/better made than the Venues and are cheaper than the Venues. I dont think these would be ideal for jogging or running...but I dont run anymore unless it's for my life - so, I dont run. Lol. If you put them on and tap the outside of the can, you can hear it "reverberating". And I've seen other reviews about hearing that while running due to the jolt of the "bouncing" of the body while jogging. That would irritate me. They are a little heavy, but you get used to that quickly and they are super comfy so the weight never was a bother to to me nor my husband or son. We all wear glasses/contacts. They do not hurt my ears where my earpieces are. The cups are super cushy and they only get softer/better over time. Keep in mind, these are NOT noise cancelling. But, my husband often listens to loud music 2 feet away from me and I can't say I can readily identify what he's listening to unless I got closer, so again, it's not a noticeable issue for me. When our toddler comes and crawls into bed with us, if we are watching tv, we have them on pretty loud, and it doesn't bother her a bit, even when she's got her head on my arm. Noises bother her if she's trying to go to sleep. She would, very loudly, have said something by now if she heard any sound from the headphones, or heard it loud enough. She has not. I have paid 3 different prices for these each time I purchased them. 120 for our son, 108 for hubs, and I picked them up on Cyber Monday for 79.99. Even at 120, I would buy them again and would've happily paid it for the 2nd and 3rd pairs. They are holding up really well, have great sound, and fold up for smaller storage. They come with a nice little bag that holds them, but if you want any kind of real protection so you can throw them in a bag and go, I would invest in a hard shell case for them. The bag won't protect them other than keeping them put away when not in use at home. The charge cord is good and seems to be good quality and the aux cord it comes with is really nice! The part under the jack is like a box and causes less stress on the jack and plug so it wont short out as easy. I really love the design of the auxillary cord. If you aren't too terribly rough on headphones and plan on using these for a range of things - like calls, music, & hooking into the tv - these are DEFINITELY the cans for you! They are WELL worth their price, whatever that may be. I would just invest in a hard shell case and take care of them. Most of the breakage issues I saw in reviews were with the white ones. Other colors, in my opinion, dont have enough reviews with enough time in use to be confident that they wont do the same thing the white ones seems to do. We have had zero issues with our 3 sets in black, with one son who isnt always as careful as he should be with the more expensive stuff he wants lol, and they've held up to him perfectly. These are definitely worth your hard earned money! Skull Candy did good with these!!! I would give them my money again if I needed a 4th pair for any reason. Just go on and buy them!!!!

For you bass monkeys out there look no further! Your ears are about to be amazed with insane bass. I own both Beats Powerbeats and Beats by Dre Studio but have been left wanting more. I recently started back up at the gym and the Powerheats lack bass and noise isolation. The Studio's have better sound but they wired cord is long and get tangled on equipment. Cue the Skullcandy: After watching a review on Youtube about the best headsets for the gym, I thought I'd give these a try...and I'm so glad I did. Pros: 1)Probably the best rich bass you'll get from headset and makes the Dre. Beats studio pale by comparison. 2)Bluetooth - No cords, plus they maintain a 40hours of playtime, though I haven't actually tried this. 3)Comfortable - The cushion around the ear is very comfortable 4)Adjustable bass with a slider switch on the left ear piece and volume controls and power on the right. Honestly, lowest setting or 1/4 is more than sufficient. 5)Reasonably priced by comparison to other high-end products. 6)Quality Build and comfortable. Cons: 1)While they have a very nice tactile feel, the soft touch ear pieces are prone to smudges. 2)Bluetooth range isn't very far - About 30 feet outside the men's locker room they start cutting out. I noticed another guy at the gym with a pair of wireless Bluedio T2's (here on Amazon at a fraction of the price) and asked him how he liked them. Told me he kept his music device in his locker and the Bluetooth was strong enough that he could hit all areas of the gym without issue. This is certainly not the case with the Skull Candy and a stronger Bluetooth would be nice. 3)If you are looking for Hi-Fidelity, might consider looking elsewhere. Overall a great listening experience, certainly better than Beats in my opinion but I found that sometimes for just casual listening the Bass tones seemed to resonate with a slight echo if I could call it that. To understand what I mean, if you tap the headset (no music playing) they resonate a twang which is likely a by product of the technology needed to produce those deep deep bass notes. In any case certainly not an issue, and BY FAR the best sounding set I've used. I was reserved about taking them to the gym but they completely drown out horrible testosterone destroying 80's pop music and offer way better sound than my Powerbeats with the added bonus of no cords. Upon this review I'd certainly buy these again. My laptop is bluetooth and watching Netflix with these is fantastic, it's like having a surround system with a sub for those explosions so if you are cinema watcher these are great. Had I not bought these for the gym already, I think I might have been inclined to first try the Bluedio T2s as a cheap gym set, sure not the same bass, but I don't utilize the full bass potential on these monsters either. That said, the Skull Candy with no bass boost kills the Beats in bass so I'd imagine that would be the case for most other brands as well. Five stars, well deserved. You won't be disappointed with these. Hope this review was helpful in your purchase decision.
