The headphone company Skullcandy has a reputation for lackluster audio quality. For the past year or so, it’s been on a mission to improve that reputation.Its efforts started with a Bose partnership in 2025 and the release of the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC, a $130 pair of wireless earbuds that have surprisingly decent audio quality and noise cancellation for the money.Next on the upgrade list are Skullcandy's notorious Crusher headphones. These wireless cans have been around for more than a decade, and they are notable for letting users crank up the bass vibrations using a physical thumb wheel on the ear cup. Roll that wheel all the way, and the Crushers rumble and vibrate against your skull, thanks to a special driver design.The company announced a new pair, the Crusher 1080 ANC, during an event in New York City on Wednesday evening. They’re on sale now.The headphones emulate the feel of a thumping subwoofer—as if you're in the front row of a concert—while usually sacrificing the mids and highs. But that's what Skullcandy wants to correct with the new headphones, once again by heavily relying on Bose’s audio expertise.The new Crusher headphones are the next step in Skullcandy’s brand-reinvention efforts.
