[@TraineeTopGrad]

agreed, i said that the first song i listened to them in

[@sqlevolicious]

It really depends on the amp that is driving them. Try using a high quality chipset for your headphones. I use my on-board MB audio, went from a msi z77a-g45 (sandy bridge) to a asus z170-pro (skylake), and the difference in audio quality with the chipsets are night and day. Also, the bit rate of the audio file you are listening to can make a difference as well. Don't blame the headphones before you test the chipset that is driving them.

[@EagleDoubleTT]

great comparison! very professional and high quality

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@Foxtrotwolf]

Hey nick may I ask you a favor?... If you had tested the Skullcandy crusher "classic"... is there a difference in sound quality or the vibration function against the wireless? I love the classic ones... and I want the wireless, but not if they're lack in quality and vibration : ) thanks and cheers from Mexico :p

[@NickCapaccio]

Hey Foxtrot, I don't own a pair of the original Crusher so I can't give you a comparison unfortunately. I have messed with them in the store and I can tell you that the build quality and feel is much better with the wireless. I may have to run out and pickup a pair to compare.

[@karsawar]

Great review for the video but i still confusing which one i have to buy?

[@IATEBISCUITS]

I completely agree with your opinion. Skullcandy: More durable, better battery life, better features. Sony: more comfortable, better connectivity, less soundleak. Now the sound seems to be debatable. Everyone has their own opinion. I just wish i could find the specs on the skullcandy crusher wireless. Personally it comes down to whether u want to take your headphones outdoors or not. If you want to travel with your headphones, then i would pick skullcandy because it is foldable and u get a travelbag unlike sony's.

[@yury808]

I have bought skullcandy crusher wireless a month ago, without planning to buy any headphones at all. Just seen and tested them in a mall and bought them at once. I had skullcandy mix master 2.0 before. New crushers are amazing and you have a feeling of having real subwoofers on your head. I recommend them to everyone.

by the way the crusher wireless can change to the previous track by holding volume down two times. double press the power button brings up siri. Awsome battery life. bass is no joke in these.

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks for the correction! I just tested it now to confirm and you're right it does work but it would not skip back or pull up siri no matter how many times I tried before, now it does for me. Thanks!

[@xEpicxSpeed]

you can actually use the mic on the crusher wireless for the xbox one controller when its plugged into the 3.5mm jack on the controller

[@NickCapaccio]

That's good to know, my PS4 won't recognize the mic.

[@SpontaneousSponge]

Nick Capaccio, it seems that the ps4 controller has problems with cans in general. My Sony MDR-10RBT's mic doesn't get recognised either.

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks Jon, it is weird! Other devices will recognize the mic just fine.

[@SpontaneousSponge]

Nick Capaccio, it really is. I figured that the mic wasn't getting power through the headphones so I thought I'd try to connect it via Bluetooth. But it turns out the ps4 doesn't support it?

[@NickCapaccio]

That's right, the Xbox One and PS4 aren't compatible with regular bluetooth headphones. Another commenter pointed out that you can buy a bluetooth adapter that plugs into the Dual Shock 4, you can find it on Amazon if you search for PS4 bluetooth adapter.

[@dynaztycrashdiet]

I bought the Skullcandy Crusher 2 days ago & all I can say is WOW they are awesome. They also seem very popular as HMV always seem to be selling them very fast. I had to wait another week before they had them in stock & now it looks like they are sold out again.

[@edmundgil6008]

Wow! Great A/B comparison review between two very popular and quite similar sets of headphones. Before seeing your video, I had little interest in either sets. Afterwards, you convinced me to check out the Skullcandys. If I had to identify why, I'd say it was because you kept my interest with a smooth and brisk pace, you were very detailed, you presented the info objectively, and in the end, I trusted your opinion! As a long time trial attorney, I'd say you have some very valuable skills, bro! Thank you!

[@T1NG097]

There are 3 complaints I have with the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless headphones. The first is comfort. I wear these things for hours at a time, yet I find that after around an hour they become extremely uncomfortable and actually make the top of my head and also the front of my ears start to hurt. The rubber headband has already worn out so it provides no padding at all (I got these I believe on the 18th December), and the padding on the ear cups while still quite spongy just really isn't that comfortable, and never really was. The second complaint is the bass slider. Personally I think that it's just not fine enough to be able to choose the perfect level of bass that I want. In some cases just the slightest touch on the bass slider will completely mute the bass, or go the other way and blow my head off which isn't what I want. There's also loads of wobble to the slider and it doesn't stay fixed in place which is quite annoying. The third and final complaint is overall build quality. These headphones have been treated super delicately and with a lot of care since I got them, never dropped them or thrown them down on anything, never sat on them, they've been treated perfectly. Yet already the hinges are loose and there's loads of wobble in the headphones themselves. For the price you pay you expect more of a premium build quality from the product, and while it certainly does look the part, it just doesn't feel like a premium product and instead feels like some cheap standard headphones. Despite these complaints though, I can't actually complain about the quality of the sound. Sure I could wish for a bit more oomph in the mids and a bit more clarity in the highs, but then again those aren't the focus of these headphones. I bought these because I wanted to experience super strong bass and lows, and that's exactly what I've gotten. The bass on these truly is superb and I would actually compare it to having a small guitar amp on each ear when the slider is turned up high, so if bass is something you're after then definitely there's nothing more I'd recommend than the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. I do wish they were more comfortable though.

[@LRRPEXILE]

I prefer the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless over the Sony MDR XB950BT. Sony MDR XB950BT: 1- You can't use the Extra Bass while wired. 2- 20 hours. 3- Extremely thick ear cups. Sony MDR > feel's like you rocking a thick padded sofa on the head. Skullcandy Crusher Wireless : 1-You can use the Extra Bass while wired. 2- 40 hours. 3- Comfortable size ear cups. 4- Headset folds. Skullcandy > Slick looking and comfortably fit's just right on the head.

[@shawncarney9889]

LRRPEXILE Skullcandy crushers also have terrible material, great sound and bass no doubt but the material is straight trash they'll last you a few months, but constant usage seems to wear them down until they start cracking, I'm on my second pair

Awesome review, I had the Sony 950 while I purchased the Crusher's and yeah big difference. The crusher has INSANE BASS especially with heavy metal, the drums sound great and the clarity in the treble sounds great. The sony 950 doesn't produce either of those points and sounds more flat and muddy with bass boost on. BUT, the Sony's MURDER the Crusher's in the Mid-bass, just listen to "Put On" by Young Jeezy, it's laughable that the midbass doesn't shine on the crusher's

[@yenice3652]

how do the sony's sound with bass boost off?

[@ryder5057]

Watching this with my MDR's! Love them

[@3693BE]

First of all, great job on the review, Nick, very informative and well done. I wanted to offer my input as I got to experiment with both headphones, hopefully it will help others with their choice. In a nutshell, I kept the Sonys. The main reason, as mentioned in a previous comment, was the comfort. I find the Sonys much more comfortable both on top of my head and on my ears. The Crushers were too tight, stiff and uncomfortable on my ears even after a short period of time (my head is maybe slightly larger than average adult) and were particularly sore on the outside of my ear. The inside of the Sonys actually angle back towards the back of the ear (this was a helpful note I found in another review) and that made a big difference for me as far as ear comfort goes. Of course this feeling will differ for everyone, so definitely try out both if you can. Another important factor for me was the mechanism to fast forward and rewind. The Sony has a simple slider that very effectively does the trick with a quick flick. The Crushers require a 3 second press of the volume up or down buttons to change tracks, which proved a little too annoying for someone who changes tracks very frequently. As far as the slider on the Crushers go, I agree it's a really neat feature, but I never really moved it beyond around 10-20%, which essentially matched the default bass level of the Sonys. The Bass Booster on the Sonys does get pretty muddy and is not really essential unless you want a bit of brain pounding. The Crushers do sound clearer with max bass than the Sonys, but I would never go that high. As far as sound quality goes, the Crushers were a little better, probably around 10-15% clearer on vocals (even with the Sony sound adjusted to optimize), but the Sonys still have a really "fun" sound and are a pleasure to wear. So if you like the fit and will use the bass slider, the Crushers are definitely a great choice with slightly better/clearer sound (to my ear), but for me the overall comfort, track selector and (still) great sound along with the cheaper price made the Sonys my choice. Thank you again to Nick and for all the comments, hope this helps!

[@NickCapaccio]

Yeah the Wireless are fantastic and a huge jump up from the original. The bass slider is now something I'd like to see on every pair of headphones, I don't always want deep bass and I like having it there when I want it.

[@Kelveron]

Really good and informative comparison, Nick. One point though, the Crusher is quoted to weigh 1.5lbs, or approx 680 grams, whereas the MDR XB950BT is quoted as 280 grams. So, the SK weighs about two and half times more than the Sony. That is a hell of a difference. Did you notice this when comparing the headphones?

[@NickCapaccio]

Hi Kelveron, I have the box here and it says that the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless weigh 275 grams.

[@Kelveron]

Thanks Nick, for some reason, online (including amazon) they state the weight at 1.5lbs, unboxed. I couldn't find the weight on SK's own site. So, it's good to know it's more or less the same as the Sony.

It already has a decent amount of bass without the boost and the battery life is great. 20hrs that's almost one day so i think loosing the bass issue won't be much of a problem to me.

On the Sony BTs the bass boost actually DOES work with the cord IF the battery isn't dead, but as stated most times you truly don't the bass boost. You tend to THINK you need it because its available but I've forgotten to turn it on millions of times and didn't really miss it.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

The Crusher Wireless are impressive but the Sony XB950BT offers a wider soundstage thanks to the earcups (also really responsive to eq adjustments) and offers nfc as a connection method. The Crusher Wireless are more appealing if you like Skullcandy's sound signature and that 40 hour battery life the Crusher Wireless offers over the XB950BT's 20 hours.

i shit you not i was in the same situation last week. i ended up picking the crushers. the sony are not compact. but they are very comfortable. the crushers are the best because of the base. I would even buy crushers over beats...yes i had beats also. the 400 dollar ones.

[@xomnicideacex1252]

Nick Capaccio bought them today and they're amazing, Sony gets a 2/5 and the crushers get a 5/5 imo

[@NickCapaccio]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@brandonparfait9744]

ejfmdawg I hope your local Best Buy doesn't have a broken display. I work at my local Best Buy and Skullcandy gave us a broken display. I bought the crusher wireless anyway though since I previously owned the word version. The wireless crushers are actually better than the wired version.

[@samancegroupfinancials363]

I have both. Gotta tell you that the bass on Skull Candy is amazing!

[@shivangsharma6746]

Who has better noise cancellation

[@jxsenpai]

Skullcandy is that bass slider up

[@memesyoinker1664]

7:08 actually you CAN use the bass boosted mode while connected to the cable. Making it possible to enjoy a nice and deep bass while gaming!

[@iomis2001]

The Skull candy has adjustable bass, but I think the Sony headphones sound better overall.

[@zimgir1690]

im not sure about that, but opinions. The sony's sounded pretty bad turned up, the mids and highs were muddy with good bass. But the crushers blew me away when I turned it up, Everything sounded nice and clear with that lovely treble.

[@instadone3495]

kolop1 i agree ones i turned it up they sounded horrible

[@Rach3tLiggy]

Zim Gir how loud? I can't handle having them up super loud and I don't get how others can lol

[@onpoint357]

WhiteBoyWithAnIpod I'm the same.Hate my music too loud.I just like it loud enough that i can hear the bass thumping.

[@bartsteijger2803]

the sony has adjustable bass as well if you just download the app

[@idvcreate6871]

Nice man... This video was really helpful.

[@suwidah]

Bought the crushers 😌

[@NickCapaccio]

Awesome, how do you like them so far?

[@suwidah]

Nick Capaccio I didn't get my hands on them yet. I hope these will last me just like the MDR xb1000 which still lasting me over 5 years

[@laura-me1lf]

How are they? Or were.....

[@dylanmchatton9850]

Bro this video quality and professionalism in on par with like jimsreviewroom and uravgconsumer... why do you only have 13k subs 😭😭. Here's a new sub

[@loshamolodec7602]

I watched this video with the skullcandy crusher wireless:)

[@digitalwvy]

Losha Molodec same

[@GellyGe3666]

I have used both of the headphones. Skull candy bass is something u will find so rare even in premium divisions. But the mids clarity is little bit better in Sony's. I'm happier with skullcandy

[@nathanvinogradov8259]

2:20 geez, quit staring into my soul😂😂

[@OrganNLou]

Wow, such a great DETAILED review!

[@darthgamer6080]

I still prefer the Sonys as my headphone between these two.

[@RohanSam69]

Have owned any of these

[@Post_Maquel]

there are a lot of little things that you mentioned which is very interesting to know. good job on the video and comparison 🙏

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks Rafael, I appreciate it!

[@mostloco]

watching this using my own skullcandy crusher!

[@tomaschazarreta1263]

After 2 years. Are these still worth buying?

[@keerthinandhan5002]

Very good video.... In others videos it ll be hard to find what we looking for. But u made a really great video and got what we really looking for.

[@alansun697]

Heyo, so... Is there anyone out there (and be honest) that LITERALLY buys... every single product Nick reviews?

[@camrynwhite4541]

Seagull 78 no because this is the first vid I've watched and I've tried both of these personally I disagree completely

[@alansun697]

Wait, you disagree completely with what? The products he reviews?

[@camrynwhite4541]

Seagull 78 I'm stating that it depends on your taste you should prob try both at a local store

[@MrEdgarFelix]

my xb950n1's are in the post. can't wait.

[@yenice3652]

aside from bass which sounds better?

[@NickCapaccio]

In my opinion, the Crusher Wireless sound better all around. Mids are pulled back on the Sony compared to the Skullcandy, and highs are more detailed on the Crusher Wireless as well, I prefer brighter headphones, so I like the Skullcandy better. The MDR-XB950BT sound great, but the Crusher Wireless sound better, not even factoring in the bass control.

[@yenice3652]

Thanks so much Nick! I'll get the Crushers and hope it's worth the extra $50. Loved the review man, top quality stuff!

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks! let me know what you think of them!

[@camrynwhite4541]

Smoove I like the Sonys better so you should try them both at your local Best Buy or other places that sell them

[@zthreetwo9874]

I would go with the skullcandy crushers, they sound more clear a bright, but the sony's have this more dynamic deep sound!

[@anumsheraz]

You did an amazing job ! Excellent and detailed comparison

[@juanflo7268]

I bought me a pair of sonys and I did not enjoy them as much since 3 months later the rotating part of the headphones broke and was unfixable but then I bought me a pair of skullcandy and I was very satisfied

[@NickCapaccio]

I've smeen some other people mention the swivel part broke as well, which pair did you go with?

[@athanbjr]

I hear you on the losing the bass boost function, however, i was not buying wireless headphones to use them wired. By the time i am buying, i know how my life and routines are so i never run out of juice. I agree that on Bluetooth i have to yell abit to be heard on a call but the bass is fine. I love my bass deep, and do not enjoy using these without the boost

[@okayge_]

Are the sony's on-ear or around-ear?

[@NickCapaccio]

Around the ear, Sony also has the MDR-XB650BT which are on ear.

[@kaji8177]

love it I'm gonna get the skullcandys tomorrow thx!

[@NickCapaccio]

You're welcome, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@christian_7624]

Crushers

[@EVolkan]

Using Sony for years now, including the XB950BT, and it's really a bummer when Bass Boost is not working with the cable. And tried Skullcandy Crusher borrowing from a friend, the MAX BASS is definitely off the roof compared to Sony. If you like that tingling sensation in your earlobes, Crusher is the way to go. I wonder how their Mic performance compared...

[@proraze3]

Skullcandy has better microphones

[@ukietajohnson4249]

good vid

[@NickCapaccio]

Thanks!

[@Jason-fz1zd]

I am definitely looking into Skull Candy now. Good review I subscribed!!

[@zthreetwo9874]

thats way too cheap..

[@ronnfly]

@@zthreetwo9874 I brought mine for the same price. Used on Ebay.

[@zthreetwo9874]

@@ronnfly damns thats dirt cheap. I might Aswell get one if it's 50 bucks refurbished.

[@ronnfly]

@@zthreetwo9874 the only catch is the headphones are so good there has to be a flaw. The hangers that connect to the headband that hold the speakers can break easily after time. My GF and I both have a pair and they broke on us within a few months. One side broke then the other side broke. I'm willing to buy another pair if the bracket can last longer than before.

[@mejia1189]

Thanks for making this video! I had the Sony MDR’s for a while but I had two pairs break in the same exact place. I was tired of spending my money on them even though the sound quality was good. I wanted a pair that was comparable in bass level and I unfortunately went with a pair of JBL’s. After watching this video I found the Skull Candys on Amazon for $112. I am super happy with these. As long as the build quality holds, I don’t plan on going back to Sony.

[@FreshOutOfWater]

MDR-XB950AP forever.

[@alexc5243]

One thing about the Sony’s too is that the plastic connectors that connect the headband to the earphone go down towards the earphone like normal, but then curve OUT before connecting to the headphone. That part is what makes the Sony’s so susceptible to breaking because the swiveling parts make it so the direction that the pressure hits the connector varies depending on the angle that you have the headphone swiveled and causes it to break easily because the curved-plastic connector isn’t well supported from pressure in certain directions. Also, when you grab both headphones and stretch them slightly to go over your head, it’s not only going to put pressure on that curved connector but it will put torque on it as well, in a direction that it’s not supported for.

[@ankitsen5971]

I will go for sony

[@zthreetwo9874]

your choice

[@brethrenjay5987]

james carter no they don’t? if you take care of them they definitely won’t break.

Jay yeah true
