Bass Challenge | Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 Headphones vs. Sony ULT Wear Headphones

[@mlwz1082]

exactly the review ive been looking for!!

[@JConner1864]

Great video & comparison.... I've had the Forest Gray headphones for a few days now and the bottom line, they are outstanding at what they are designed to do, definitely hit above their pay grade. Think XM4 but with better transparency, comparable ANC, superior bass, and super comfortable with lots of extras in the app..... great video & sincere thanks!

[@Kinan15]

Would you please make the head to head between the Technics EAH800 and the Bowers&wilkins PX7S2E? Thank you for the great work Ron.

[@ronontech]

That matchup is on the list. Thanks for the support.

[@fallback8314]

+ flossy carter already said the bass in the skull crushers is fake bass it's not from the speakers it's manufactured they just make the headphones physically/artificially shake to make it SEEM as if the bass is coming from the speakers but it's not

[@ronontech]

That's a fair assessment.

[@leppak42088]

I never thought making a headphone choice would be so stressful lol I have the crusher ANC 1 and they are pretty good. Should I upgrade to ANC 2 ?

[@leodjoneluv]

skull candy crusher are made specifically for what it does. MASSIVE BASS.

[@emiliojones5983]

Thanks for the good video. Can you compare the Sennheiser Momentum 4 vs Sony ULT Wear? Which one has better Bass, ANC, Transparancy and Comfort?

[@ronontech]

Yes I can. Stay tuned.

[@mikessplboxes7497]

Been running skull candy for years. I got the EVO's and ANC2. Very interested on the ULT WEAR. Great review!!

[@ronontech]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@petermurage8685]

Excellent review. I have the skullcandy. I might get the ULT

[@ferry7613]

sony have more volume than crusher beacose it's 110 decibel but crusher usually 100 decibel

[@bogdanfilculescu1642]

If I buy Sony ult it will be the third pair of headphones. I have already crusher evos and soundcore space one. I think I'm becoming a headphone junky.

[@ferry7613]

The Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 are on sale for $139.99 at best buy.

[@thomaswalker5439]

Yeah I just picked up a pair and the evo’s are 99.00

[@miketexas4549]

Yup got mine 3 weeks ago but no hard case! Just a dumb carrying bag oh well still a good deal.

[@boringchannel9703]

I have to say that the bass on these headphones is just fantastic, but sometimes, just sometimes, I miss that shaking on my head that the Skullcandy headphones provide. However, overall, the Sony headphones are way better. (I have both of them)

[@fruitless4679]

Which has better sound quality?

[@josephbenedicto8732]

yeah. skullcandy evo is a fun headphone. im glad that skullcandy does it sensory bass for the vibrations

[@ferry7613]

which one is louder in terms of volume Sound not Bass beacose i saw sony is 110 decibel?

[@FLOWERISAPBUTOW1KO]

You did a mistake bro you should lower the volume and hit that crusher button to the max there will not be any distraction try it and you will love that freaking concert sub bass bro

[@ronontech]

Thanks for the tip.

[@NextGenKid101]

Please compare the px7 s2e and px8 next

[@ronontech]

Stay tuned!

[@draco2xx]

man i bought all 3, sony xm5, ult and the anc 2. i couldn't decide, cause all 3 sounds different but the anc 2 probably gonna be the main one i'll using😂

[@Jz-fj5ki]

Can you explains how do they differ and also what made you choose anc2 as the MAIN one?

[@draco2xx]

@Jz-fj5ki crusher 2 got fantastic bass with really good sound compared to other two. xm5 got a more refine sound but lacks bass, ultimate got ok bass but nothing like the crusher 2. i mostly use the crusher 2, it's more immersive and the bass is addicting. if i was you, ill get the crusher 2 over the other 2. you won't be disappointed

[@Jz-fj5ki]

@@draco2xx Thanks 👍

[@dholy4038]

Great review. Would you say the Sony Ult have more bass than Beats Studio 3 or Pro?

[@ronontech]

I can't honestly answer that without testing the two.

[@k.c.alarmsltd29]

Yep...hands down

[@kyosukeshidou1370]

Dirty VS Clean / Haptic VS REAL ... want a crazy rumble? Skullcandy .... Want a Consistency? Sony ... Why??? Skullcandy sometimes hits them haptics on the wrong spot

[@Snaxzu]

not for me 😅

[@ferry7613]

even sony have haptic becose you can feel the bass in ult 2 options

[@kyosukeshidou1370]

@@ferry7613 That's not a haptic .. LMAO.. that's purely BASS on steroids Haptic Bass is a FAKE Bass

[@ferry7613]

​​@@Snaxzuyes me to i am bass head but crusher kiling everying in music mids and highs and vocal at the fist was exited but now is just headache i need Sound like speaker huge bass and loud sound and sony can like speakers even crusher is not loud only bass is heavy sound not good intencity of sound lesser then samsung's earpud that's a shame for skullcand 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@csscott9803]

I'm thinking about getting the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 or the Sony ULT.

[@petermurage8685]

The crushers have too much bass. I always use them with Tidal to bring out that clarity in the vocals.

[@ferry7613]

ult is better beacose you have heavy bass with detail at first i thought sony not more bass but bass is to much even better than crusher

[@umairbaig9522]

I would say... For example if you have a subwoofer in your car... And you are static, you can feel the car body shaking and thumping in your chest... But at the same time you hear a little rattling... But when you are moving, you feel less bass but its cleaner as everything elese gets mixed up with road noise so that's the bass you would expect from sony... That shaking is good, but at some point it gets annoying...

[@pixeljr]

Thanks for the video, have the Crusher ANC2 and love them. But wanna try the Sony's as I love my XM3s for travel

[@Aviad24]

Hi I wanna to buy the crusher 2 but the quality sounds is so important to me and the anc what do you think about the sound quality and the anc?( I saw the review about the crushers)

[@Aviad24]

Now I have the rail anc skullcandy and the bass and the sound quality is good I liked more than AirPods Pro 2

[@shiwomino5775]

I just bought both the ULT and the ANC 2. I returned the ANC 2 mainly due to the poor sound clarity in comparison to the ULT. The only thing the ANC 2 has that the ULT doesn’t is the vibrating fake bass gimmick. The music itself sounds distorted at times. That doesn’t happen with the Sonys. As for noise cancelling, the Sonys are incredibly better at it than the Skullcandys.

[@ronontech]

@Aviad24 IMO, I think the ULT WEAR has better overall sound and cleaner bass. I do like the Crusher ANC 2s, but the haptic bass, although is powerful, is not as clean.

[@souravdutta7120]

Which one has higher volume at max out of these 2?

[@ronontech]

IMO, the Skullcandy Crushers are louder.

[@miketexas4549]

Louder settles it. Crank it up loud, turn down the bass a little

[@IMHO88-dm1xf]

Nice comparison video... BUT - in your personalised EQ for the Skullcandy, the bass was boasted but with the Sony, it was flat!! No wonder the Skullcandy was distorting. When you said, "Optimised settings", I would think the Skullcandy shouldn't be dustorting. So I don't think that made it a fair comparison!! I think the EQ should have been set to flat or its signature sound for both headphones.

[@ronontech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kvnstl]

I have the Crusher Anc 2. You have to disable Nc/transparency mode (which is bad anyways) and then the bass doesn't distort at all. But I'm thinking about picking the Sony because the Crushers are not comfortable at all for me

[@kvnstl]

Update : I do have both now. The Crushers are waaaaayy better. The Sony's Literally do not have any Bass at all. The Crushers are louder, fuller have more highs, mids and most importantly 20 times more bass without sounding bad. The Sony are waaaay more comfy, the Crushers get uncomfortable quick. But other than that you can't compare these 2. The Crushers wins hands down.

[@ronontech]

I have to disagree on the Sony ULT WEARS not having any bass. Like I said in the video, the Crusher ANC 2s have powerful bass, the ULT WEAR has clean smooth bass. I'd go with the Sony's because of that.

[@shiwomino5775]

Tried disabling as you suggested. Still sounded bad. Returned them today. Keeping the ULT.

[@shiwomino5775]

@@kvnstlDisagree, big time. The Crushers just have poor clarity to them. Music distorts at times, despite how you EQ them. Same is not true with the Sonys. I returned my Crushers, kept the ULT. All the Crushers had going for them is the vibrating gimmick. I’d rather the music sound accurate than get an ear/neck massage with subpar music clarity.

[@preciousagulefo899]

@shiwomino5775 I'm confused between both. What do you advise?

[@joevee7525]

For artificial bass choose Crusher ANC For natural bass Sony

[@ronontech]

Agreed.

[@willmark4783]

Sorry, I have have the Crusher ANC 2. And I tried the ULT Wear….when it comes to bass, took the Sony’s back and kept the Skullcrushers

[@ronontech]

I appreciate your view. Thanks for sharing.

crusher's bass good at the first day's you buy it but after it's only a headache and intensity of sound is very loud it just only only only only vibrator gimmick bass sony only haven't vibrator like it I said that beacose i have all geners of crusher which on was not what i wanted

[@ronontech]

Thanks for sharing.

[@uraniyumb3097]

In terms of raw bass intensity? Sure. In terms of raw audio quality? Its not even close to the ANC 2 or ULT. In terms of bass quality? The ANC 2 has higher quality bass, but no amount of haptics from either of the Crushers will ever be able to compete with actual dynamic drivers in terms of bass quality, or depth.

[@tonyhancock4258]

@@uraniyumb3097 Thats fair enough, but I used to previously own Sony XB 500, they were dynamic drivers but to me, ( I still have them),/the Evos would destroy them and I did test both on my Android phone. Those headphones i swore by, had dynamic drivers, 40mm but sound and bass were not even close to evo. They sounded garbage on Android, on my PC with amp they sounded badass, but the crushers are deeper by a hundred miles. As for ANC 2, vibration is too much and doesntbsound better than evo according to a lot of reviews. ULT sound worse from reviews online.

Let’s be real. Sony is a multi billion dollar global technology company, producing top of the line professional grade electronics, putting tons of money into research and development for their products. Skullcandy puts vibrators in low grade headphones. It’s why the Sonys sound better. The people who like the vibrating fake bass gimmick can buy the Crushers.

[@ronontech]

?

[@shiwomino5775]

@@ronontech Do you… disagree? If so, why? It’s low grade sound quality headphones with physical devices in the ear cups that vibrate when triggered for a fake bass effect, versus… top quality headphones with excellent sound quality produced by Sony.

[@drnkds]

The crushers sound incredible. You’re tripping

[@TheMichaelparis]

Talking about low grade the anc 2 have much better build quality than the sony 😂 even the xm5 feels cheap
