To anyone about to make a decision: Sony is coming out with a new version of the XB950BT with noise cancellation and other stuff. They showed them at CES.
yea they are suppose to release in april 😭 and I need something now. My headphones just broke and all I have are standard apple earbuds, not sure if to get the xb950bt or find something cheap and wait for the 950N1's.
Zim Gri, how do you know it's gonna be on April the release? Other information? (i wanna buy them so much cuz of the foldable and ANC soooo any information will be appreciate if you have some :D )
HectorinoX2 No, trust me it's bullshit. And they're not springs, they're drivers. When you tap it (like anybody would do that in there spare time), you might hear "springs". When you shake your head you don't hear such things as he'd stated in the video. I can promise you this is a biased review. I've handled both headphones before.
how can you say ``durable``. i bought them and immediately the bass was cutting out. the bass adjuster reminds me of an n64 old joystick; alot of slack.
Tamás Bene a guy apparently left with mid volume and mid bass for 40 hours to play constantly and it still had 60% battery left..... That's fucking amazing
I do when I hit play and pause on my Sony Wh1000xm3 which are better than the Skullcandy Crushers x10. And hits the bass rumble just like the skullcandy crushers but without distortion.
@Brendin yes they are, testing them at best buy isnt going to give you that experience, but if you buy them yourself instead of going to best buy youd know that the app unlocks the missing 60% of features that's not shown at best buy. You have to turn the hi res mode off. No LDAC then do priority in connection instead of apund quality, then u go to equalizer in the app turn clear bass to +10, then turn 400 bass db to +10, then u have yourself some crushers for free and better bass quality at that too. And if you want even more bass go at it to club mode in surround VPT. And it will clear any tickle or itch you have in your ear. Maybe even give you a tickle if you dont have one.
Seer King K but that's not what he comparing it to and the crushers i got for 100 canadian so thats like a $300 price difference also im like 99% sure that you dont know that the crushers have haptic base and its not the same kind of base as the sony M3s (at least i think cause i dont have $300-400 headphones and this is mostly based on revews of the m3s ive seen and they didn't mention any haptic base)
Its 2019 and still skullcandy crusher is leading in the bass headphone segment...I bought it today taking demo of both mdr xb 950b1 and crusher...sony was good with the bass effect but it was the crusher which brought club type effects to my ears making it shake...I got skullcandy crusher without a doubt...
Lol I just bought this version as well due to everyone talking about the new ones. These ones are way cheaper and still offer the crazy bass. Got them on sale for real cheap so no brainer. The bass is insane. They don't sound like the best headphones ever, but nothing can touch the bass. They sound the best on old 90s rap songs. That was the area where the songs were designed for this type of car stereo bass.
@@Teamshmo I bought a second pair becuase my first broke a bit too easy, yes the bass is insane but it is not really a bass. there are shaking parts in te headphones that make that distored loud bass. super awesome for gaming as explosions and gunshots feel real.
Uravgconsumer I love your videos man but I'm gonna say you're biased on this one. The 950bts are super fragile, something skullcandy has never been. I sleep in my original crushers every night and have been for the past 3 years or so that I've had them, they've been on many camping trips and vacations and have definitely been my most expendable headphones I've ever had. not something I can say for my 2 broken pair of monster DNA on ears. which only lasted me about a year each. And also the crusher wireless were 140 at best buy over the holiday season, when i bought them. Honestly you were too critical of the skullcandy headphones, you made it seem like they didn't have as much functionality as the Sony's when you explained the on board controls and also I have a pair of the crusher wireless and have no clue what you mean by the "weirdness" of the bass. I know the springy part, but only when you tap on them. not when you move your head. that's also not springs. that is the individual bass driver in the headphones. my friend took his pair apart. and while you hinted at it, you did not come out and actually say that the bass is stronger on the crusher wireless. but you shouldve cause it is. You also made it seem like the crusher wireless weren't comfortable which is a blatant lie. yes maybe the 950bts are more comfortable, but that doesn't mean the skullcandys aren't because they really are very comfortable. You were not honesty when you said the skullcandys were all plastic because the adjustment slides are some pretty damn thick pieces of metal, something you acknowledged on the Sony's and not the skullcandys. The headband is also metal, just covered in that rubber and leather. the whole band part is metal, only housed in plastic and leather. Plus I think you should've acknowledged the fact that skullcandy has never made anything close to this premium before, they've always been cheaper build and better sound for your price rather than quality materials and good sound for the premium price tag. so this was a huge step up for them. also I'm pretty sure the Sony's were more than 200 when they first came out because I know they have been out for a long while now. hopefully you can take these points into perspective.

Kennith Hoover I have the original crushers and am buying the n1s. I personally think they're not comfortable. Haven't tried the wireless one. But honestly the top bit got ripped apart and it was like a cheap sponge and probably so are the earcups. Now I'm no expert in padding and comfortable materials but whatever they're cheaper than both. The bass is addicting. Wondering if I'll miss it after using the n1s. But idk if it's the vibration or the headphones but it hurts around my ear without them for quite a long time and always when using them. It's a great experience but wanna leave them at that and hopefully find a better one.
I can vouch for the fragility of the x950bts. Dropped em and they fell on the right ear cup, and they broke. However, the wire was intact, so I duct taped it back on. I have to re-duct tape them once per month.
If you're choosing between the XB950BT or Crusher Wireless based off of bass boost functionality, that depends on how you like your bass. The 950BTs use a digital amplifier to artificially boost bass. It's fun for movies but excessive for music most of the time as you can't adjust them. The Crusher Wireless make use of the usual 40mm full range drivers AND 38mm drivers solely meant for sub levels of bass. The more you move the slide up, the more the headphone diverts lower frequency sound to the smaller bass drivers, creating that ticklish yet satisfying bass that you'll definitely feel. It reaches levels of bass that the 950BTs wish it could recreate while not bleeding too much into the midrange as again, bass frequencies are diverted to the bass drivers while the rest of he sound goes through the normal drivers.
UrAvgCostumer i totally disagree with you, I had the Sony's first that i bought because of your review of them and they felt cheap fragile and the sound was soooo weak to me. Bass is ok but headphones are just not even close to being loud enough and yes i put volume at max on both my phone and headphones.. I returned them the next day to Amazon and kept my Beats Studio Wireless. Saw some reviews about the crushers and got them at Best Buy for 149 on sale at the time and wow !! Big difference from my experience with the sonys , fell in love and almost cried the first time i listened to them. They feel way better and a lot less fragile on my hands , battery last much longer and OMG that bass !!!! Amazing !!! They are so much fun to listen to !! I even sold my beloved Beats and stayed with this. Thats how much i love them...
Trust me when i say the Crushers are the shit !! They are amazing !! Maybe not for an audiophiles but then again this nor the Crushers are audiophile headphones. Im a DJ and i know good audio . My crushers are not for DJing but for everyday music listening and they are so much fun. For DJ i use my Audio Technica Ath-M50 wich everyone knows about ..
Lol that sonys were too quiet at max volume? You might have hearing problems. Also beats studio are ok I suppose but no worth the money you have to spend on them. You could get a nice pair of bose or sennheisers instead. Crushers are pretty good though
I own both headset's. The XBT- 950s have punchy bass. Crushers have more physical bass and it's less punchy and aren't quite as comfortable. however the 950s are a piece of glass and barely lasted a year with me. The swivel will break in a heart beat if it's dropped and now your out 100$. Don't buy the 950s unless your okay with wearing a piece of glass.
can confirm, they feel very fragile. granted, i haven't actually broken mine yet. i throw them in my backpack all the time and wear them constantly. ideally, you just have to be more careful.
Yes true. The hinges on my 950bt broke after maybe a years use. They sound good, battery lasts long and are very comfortable but they feel very large and awkward. I tested out the skullcrushers at the airport and the bass almost took me to the moon and were quite light. I think I will purchase the skullcrushers wireless just because the bass is insane for the type of music I listen to.
Kinda weird you have broken your 950s already. Bought mine like 3 years ago and I am still using it until now. Still looks and sounds new. I heard about the breaking where the swivels are, but I never had a problem with it, so I don't know. May depend on how one takes care of what they invest in.
yup imma buy a pair of these. Using your associative link as well, you should be getting a nice payout since i'm getting a bunch of other expensive stuff as well. Enjoy!!
i'll be using it to gym. I cant stand 24/7 mainstream crap anymore lol. there's 37 other items on my amazon list, whey, creatine, pre-workout, home theater, car audio install accessories, work related items.
I put on a pair of those skullcandy ones at Best Buy. The demo said that you can dial the haptics all the way up. I did cause yolo. And then it mentioned that the skull crushers were built to battle your bones. Then the bass dropped. It gave me the chills. The cans of the headphone were vibrating violently. I’m saving my money for a pair.
4:34 Actually, Skull Crushers has the "Muffed" sound in place so that you don't ruin your ear drums, It provides a clean feeling of Noise Cancellation along side the feel the bass sends off during low Hz. I mean the other headset is fine with clarity maybe better by a little bit, but that is if you want later on Tinnitus.
I got my songs on Black Friday for 88 bucks. 950bts are way better. Comfort wise and just the quality. Less likely to break since it's not all plastic like the skull candys. And I've tried on the skull candys and I do hear the spring thingy inside of the headphones. It's real annoying
Great video. I must say I love the look of the new Green version of the Sony headphones and would love to get them. I had Skullcandy gaming headphones and they were awesome, really clear and bought more Skullcandy based on the sound. I haven't tried the crushers yet though. I think it really depends on what kind of music you listen to.
Hound Life Vlogs try them both before you buy. At least you are open to trying different things. Some people are just set on one and won't even try another product.
Hound Life Vlogs looooool. The crushers is something you need to try. It's amazing at the beginning then it's kinda too much for a time then you get used to it then it gets worse but you can't listen without it and then it hurts around your ears. At least the original ones
I went to BestBuy last night to test them and the demo was broken so I didn't get to hear them. Best Buy said they will replace the demo sometime this week..
i use Blue headphones...the Mo Fis and im about to buy the Sadies. BUT...a friend of mine let me test his Skullcandy Crushers.....and i cant stop thinking about them....the Blues will be like my wife.....the Crushers will be the nasty mistress haha
These headphones are actually marketed towards people who are looking for extra bass. If you want a balanced audio profile maybe look at a set of audiotechnicas or Senheisers?
The new and old crushers dont have a spring, i've taken them apart before. It's the micro subwoofers inside that have a coil design. and yes its actually bass not crappy springs.
What about the xb650bt? Are they just as good but without the bass boost? Im willing to give up bass boosts for a slimmer profile if the sound signature is pretty much the same
UrAvgConsumer Actually, if you look at Amazon questions and answers, they say that the 650bt bass boost is aways on. But not sure how will it sound comparing to the 950bt because their drivers are considered as a bit weaker then the 950's.
Tim the xb650bt are on ear instead of over ear. This means instead of cups surrounding your ear, they sit on top. Personally, I think on ear hurts a bit more and leaks a lot more sound. Over ear (950) is better.
I Want The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. They Look Like A Great Pair, I Already Have The Skullcandy Crusher Headphones in Royal Blue. (The Wired Version)
Dharin Costic People say Skullcandy is a joke which I used to agree with. But whoever works at Skullcandy needs a raise cause these are way better than anything they've ever made. I think UAC was a little biased in this comparison (which is ok cause it's his opinoin) but I've listened to both and I give the edge to the crushers.
one reason I didn't go with BT is because the thousands of reviews on best buy and Amazon saying they're easily broken right after the 30 day period and Sony doesn't honor the warranty. anybody can confirm or deny?
At around 0:17 , when he's holding the skullcandy headphones up, there's this pixelation where the headrest part is, just below the logo on his shirt. Anyone understand what's happening? I even bumped the quality up to 1440p!
every headset is tight and can hurt your head at first if you use them long periods, but when you use them for a while they get loosen and fits your head good
You say that there’s less controls on the skull candy’s when you have just as much and a customisable bass slider as the volume keys double as a means to skips songs when double tapped and the power button as a pause. There isn’t anything you can’t control from the headset itself
UrAvgConsumer I was thinking about picking up the Sony until i saw that there is a new model of those coming soon,so would you suggest buying the new ones or the ones that are already in stores?
Hey UrAvgConsumer I'm a long time subscriber, but first-time poster and I have a quick question: in your headphone reviews, I've never seen you review any Bluedio model headphones. Have you tried the Bluedio R+ or Bluedio R+ Legends, and if so, what are your thoughts on them?
***** Thanks for the quick response. I have a pair of the R+ Legends and they're pretty cool. They have really nice bass, an adjustable EQ, and an SD card slot.
I am in a pickle. I have seen so much good on the crushers, but a lot of people are talking about it snapping and the cheap plastic. I don't know what to do.
@@kota69420 Ok. If you're more contempt on buying the skullcrushers then just buy them. You won't have to worry about snapping and cheap plastic as long as you don't abuse them. If you want them and you can buy em, GET THEM!!! 😀
seemed a bit biased hahhaha but i mean its all personal preference.i have the crushers and i dont feel that they are too tight on my head but yeah i get that for some people's head shape the sony's are going to be better
Boi I’ve had crushers for so long they have memory foam which adjusts to your ears. They’re very comfortable and do not crush ur skull 💀 so yea crushers are way better
The biggest thing I noticed is that out of the box the crushers ear cups are kinda stiff, but after a month or two of using them they start to soften and they get alot more comfortable
I hate the 950bt, I god some and was wearing when the plastic piece holding the left headphone exploded into like 12 different pieces. the build quality is horrid.
-Derryl- So it happens, then I taped it back together with duct tape (a terrible fix) and then the right hook broke like 6 days later :-/. It's cool that yours are still working tho :-).
he lied about sound clarity !! skullcandy crusher wireless have more clarity than sony xb950bt, i have bought both of them !! sony sound is muddy and no clarity but the bass is real and good, but skullcandy has good highs and mids than sony and bass is best!! i know its artificial on skullcandy but its worth it,u should own both of em to experience different kind of bass,in some songs i like sony's but in most songs i like skullcandy
The SkullCandy Crushers are mind blowing they're super comfortable and really nice. After breaking them in with my spotify playlist with the Bass Slider set right by the 30% they sound amazing. I wear the Crushers for the whole day and never had any discomfort unless I was wearing my earring studs they press against the headphones. So without earrings on they're super comfortable
Lucas Doering yeah i know and therefore it may not be a very good comparison but the video isn't sponsored. If so he has to tell the viewer that it is sponsored.
Andreas well, probably not $ sponsored, but see, he's reviewing a lot of Sonny stuff lately, pretty much only good reviews and some of them even on first-hand... Must be receiving a kind of patronage (which is normal, I think...)
Question, did you actually USE both of these for any period of time? If so, how long do you usually spend wearing/listening, before doing a video like this?
V-Moda headphones should not be in this battle: since we're comparing new headphones together, that would mean you'd have to compare the XB950BT and Crusher Wireless with the Crossfade Wireless 2, a $300+ monster of a Bluetooth headphone that bears deeper sub levels of bass without needing a bass boost function while still sounding very clear AND having the same "cliqfold" collapsible design of the M-100s that literally makes it just a bit bigger than your hand. The Crossfade Wireless 2 would RAPE them if a comparison was to be made in all fields except bass boost function which it doesn't have and affordability.
Ahhh! Decisions.. decisions.. I am looking to get my first pair of headphones as I've always owned earbuds and I don't want to spend a lot. I hear the Skullcandy has better, all-around, sound whereas the Sonies have more comfort and I think they look cooler
Skullcandy are so much more durable drop them 100 still working they are just so dum working. Sonys use bad plactic small parts higher price bla bla bla.... so just get the skullcandy I had sonys befoure they broke. BTW wasent the first time something sony broke.
I tried both. Skullcandy crusher is better for hard hitting, ear rattling bass. Also Skullcandy look better and are more portable. It all depends on what music you listen to.
One thing I didn't like about the Sony is that it's got that intrusive beep when you reach the max sound. The music is silenced for a second or two. Do the Skullcandy have this as well?
UrAvgConsumer I did that and I'm barely getting notifications for the video, and I don't know if youtube is broken or what but it's been happening to me for a lot of my channel subscriptions...
Biased to the max. How tf do you like the sony spin muffs better than the completly foldable crushers??? And crushes your skull?? LMAO he is sensitive.
Skull Candy wins for me. I own a d use 4 times a week at my gym. Bultime tanks. Beats don't even compare. Great bass and highs. Comfy a d looks good. All why you need.
I have gotten the Sony's before watching this video, they are probably the best headphones I've ever gotten. One thing I like is the Bluetooth range, I can walk anywhere in my house with my phone in my room and have no connectivity issues. Also, there is an app you can get where you can adjust the bass Level, type of environment you want for the sound, and you can control the noise cancellation button from the app. Also, the bass boost does work with out it having to be on. I have never put a better pair of headphones on my head.
I remembered the wired version of the crushers weren't very loud so you had to have your phone on max volume. You could barely hear people talk. So are the wireless crushers loud?
Just wondering Judner...I got a new pair of the 950BT's, due to what happened to the last pair I owned. How do you keep the swivel part from breaking? I bought a case, but just to be sure...how have yours lasted so long?
With the sonys not being as snug fit as the crushers, are the Sonys a gym set headphones too? Or will they fault off if I'm doing bench press lauding down?
To anyone about to make a decision:
Sony is coming out with a new version of the XB950BT with noise cancellation and other stuff. They showed them at CES.

Anto Charles well they are called the crushers
same here XD
Anto Charles listen to a pair of these sonys it will make sense
LMFAO right !! I came just to see if anyone laughed at that 😂😂
When I wore them they did feel any different than beats studios, maybe I am used to hard clamps but they are amazing
I own a pair of the Skullcandy Crushers and LOVE them. Good sound, durable, all day comfort, 40hour battery and they look great.
does the quality get bad when you make bass to maximum?
Is it true what he said about weird noises?
HectorinoX2 No, trust me it's bullshit. And they're not springs, they're drivers. When you tap it (like anybody would do that in there spare time), you might hear "springs". When you shake your head you don't hear such things as he'd stated in the video. I can promise you this is a biased review. I've handled both headphones before.

SAL3M which one vibrates more like which one tickles your ears lol
Lol same... Especially when he said Sonys fold better
Honestly
True that
I got the SKULLCANDY CRUSHER WIRELESS during Christmas for 140 so definitely better bang for your buck! Sounds amazing!
Brady Snelgrove Amazing im getting the normal skullcandy crushers for 50 and i am excited as hell :)
Brady Snelgrove same
Brady Snelgrove I got the xb950b1 for 150
Brady Snelgrove they're on amazon for $130 Im debating getting them
Do they leak a lot of sound?
Nah he’s too biased towards the Sony, they’re always his favorite headphone. So of course he’s choosing them over the crushers
Who else is watching this with skull crushers on
Also i got my crushers for 119.....
are you sure you arent pre-judged ? you sound very sony positive here
I just bought a pair of skullcandy crushers for 35
I’ve seen the wired skullcandy crushers stick around 50 and wireless around 100 on amazon
@@calebschwendiman9204 this video came out in 2017, we're nearing 2019 so the price would of dropped quite a bit already.
If you're choosing between the XB950BT or Crusher Wireless based off of bass boost functionality, that depends on how you like your bass. The 950BTs use a digital amplifier to artificially boost bass. It's fun for movies but excessive for music most of the time as you can't adjust them. The Crusher Wireless make use of the usual 40mm full range drivers AND 38mm drivers solely meant for sub levels of bass. The more you move the slide up, the more the headphone diverts lower frequency sound to the smaller bass drivers, creating that ticklish yet satisfying bass that you'll definitely feel. It reaches levels of bass that the 950BTs wish it could recreate while not bleeding too much into the midrange as again, bass frequencies are diverted to the bass drivers while the rest of he sound goes through the normal drivers.
Gabriel Ignacio Good to see some one who knows something about sound here.
Gabriel Ignacio which ones do you think vibrates more
And yet they sound terrible so all the techno blab means nothing

I've seen a lot of review regarding crusher and they all say build quality is not good..
@@SHBHJT
I've had mine since its release and they work as new as I first got them
UrAvgCostumer i totally disagree with you, I had the Sony's first that i bought because of your review of them and they felt cheap fragile and the sound was soooo weak to me. Bass is ok but headphones are just not even close to being loud enough and yes i put volume at max on both my phone and headphones.. I returned them the next day to Amazon and kept my Beats Studio Wireless. Saw some reviews about the crushers and got them at Best Buy for 149 on sale at the time and wow !! Big difference from my experience with the sonys , fell in love and almost cried the first time i listened to them. They feel way better and a lot less fragile on my hands , battery last much longer and OMG that bass !!!! Amazing !!! They are so much fun to listen to !! I even sold my beloved Beats and stayed with this. Thats how much i love them...
Wassily Garcia Same. I want to sell them now.
Trust me when i say the Crushers are the shit !! They are amazing !! Maybe not for an audiophiles but then again this nor the Crushers are audiophile headphones. Im a DJ and i know good audio . My crushers are not for DJing but for everyday music listening and they are so much fun. For DJ i use my Audio Technica Ath-M50 wich everyone knows about ..
based on your comment , probably am getting the crusher :p
i'd say my only complaint with the crushers is that the bass is very artificial sounding
Lol that sonys were too quiet at max volume? You might have hearing problems. Also beats studio are ok I suppose but no worth the money you have to spend on them. You could get a nice pair of bose or sennheisers instead. Crushers are pretty good though

I own both headset's. The XBT- 950s have punchy bass. Crushers have more physical bass and it's less punchy and aren't quite as comfortable. however the 950s are a piece of glass and barely lasted a year with me. The swivel will break in a heart beat if it's dropped and now your out 100$. Don't buy the 950s unless your okay with wearing a piece of glass.
can confirm, they feel very fragile. granted, i haven't actually broken mine yet. i throw them in my backpack all the time and wear them constantly. ideally, you just have to be more careful.
I’ve broken 2 of them already. Rubbish phones!
Yes true. The hinges on my 950bt broke after maybe a years use. They sound good, battery lasts long and are very comfortable but they feel very large and awkward.
I tested out the skullcrushers at the airport and the bass almost took me to the moon and were quite light. I think I will purchase the skullcrushers wireless just because the bass is insane for the type of music I listen to.
Kinda weird you have broken your 950s already. Bought mine like 3 years ago and I am still using it until now. Still looks and sounds new. I heard about the breaking where the swivels are, but I never had a problem with it, so I don't know. May depend on how one takes care of what they invest in.
The SkullCandy Crushers are a bit more BASSic lmao had to make the joke

i'll be using it to gym. I cant stand 24/7 mainstream crap anymore lol.
there's 37 other items on my amazon list, whey, creatine, pre-workout, home theater, car audio install accessories, work related items.
I put on a pair of those skullcandy ones at Best Buy. The demo said that you can dial the haptics all the way up. I did cause yolo. And then it mentioned that the skull crushers were built to battle your bones. Then the bass dropped. It gave me the chills. The cans of the headphone were vibrating violently. I’m saving my money for a pair.
Bout to get the Sony's 950s but when I tried the Crushers. It just crushed the 950s.
4:34 Actually, Skull Crushers has the "Muffed" sound in place so that you don't ruin your ear drums, It provides a clean feeling of Noise Cancellation along side the feel the bass sends off during low Hz.
I mean the other headset is fine with clarity maybe better by a little bit, but that is if you want later on Tinnitus.
"The skull candy crushes will crush your skull😂😂💪🏽"
I got my songs on Black Friday for 88 bucks. 950bts are way better. Comfort wise and just the quality. Less likely to break since it's not all plastic like the skull candys. And I've tried on the skull candys and I do hear the spring thingy inside of the headphones. It's real annoying
Peanut haterzz But the most reported defect on the Sony's are the plastic hinges?
TANIMAL13 u hating cuz u got the crushers😂😂 feel bad for u buddy
Peanut haterzz I'm not hating, both headphones are great. But I've seen many complaints about the Sony's hinges breaking. Just saying.
Peanut haterzz the bluedio t3+ are better
Great video. I must say I love the look of the new Green version of the Sony headphones and would love to get them. I had Skullcandy gaming headphones and they were awesome, really clear and bought more Skullcandy based on the sound. I haven't tried the crushers yet though. I think it really depends on what kind of music you listen to.
Hound Life Vlogs me too! I love the green ones haha 😄👍🏻
Hound Life Vlogs try them both before you buy. At least you are open to trying different things. Some people are just set on one and won't even try another product.
Hound Life Vlogs looooool. The crushers is something you need to try. It's amazing at the beginning then it's kinda too much for a time then you get used to it then it gets worse but you can't listen without it and then it hurts around your ears. At least the original ones
One thing to note with the crushers as well, in the short time I owned my pair, they work extremely well with movies, more so than music oddly enough.
I like how he tried to make up that spring sound in the headphones
And still failed
I don't know why but I'm a little leaned towards the Crushers Wireless.
put some Bass in your background music.. listening on my Sony XB 950 BT
Dallas Parrott I can hear the bass he did use in the video just fine on my crushers lol 😂
DaProphets Ha Ha LoL .. I want to hear the Crushers for my self.
Dallas Parrott their really good bro . If you love bass get em . won't be dissapoiented
maybe they are good at hardcore bass (muddy bass tho). but they sound muffle af. you know that when you know that it is skullcandy!
I went to BestBuy last night to test them and the demo was broken so I didn't get to hear them. Best Buy said they will replace the demo sometime this week..
I feel like I'm the only one that just wants balanced bass levels lol nice video man!
+Your Driver Mike I definitely enjoy some balance too. All depends on the song and the moment.
i use Blue headphones...the Mo Fis and im about to buy the Sadies. BUT...a friend of mine let me test his Skullcandy Crushers.....and i cant stop thinking about them....the Blues will be like my wife.....the Crushers will be the nasty mistress haha
Perfectly balanced... as all things should be
I want I little more bass than vocals
These headphones are actually marketed towards people who are looking for extra bass. If you want a balanced audio profile maybe look at a set of audiotechnicas or Senheisers?
The new and old crushers dont have a spring, i've taken them apart before. It's the micro subwoofers inside that have a coil design. and yes its actually bass not crappy springs.
Yes I know I'm late he's biased af and he mega gey
SUKA BLYAT lmao only a year late 💀
@@chase5320 better late than never 😄

He seems a little exaggerated with the crushers... They are amazing and in love with them
2mins into the video I could already tell you didn't like the crushers as a personal preference and this was a biased review.
What about the xb650bt? Are they just as good but without the bass boost? Im willing to give up bass boosts for a slimmer profile if the sound signature is pretty much the same
I personally don't use the bass boost button frequently because it can be a bit much. I think they sound perfect for bass lovers without it.
UrAvgConsumer Actually, if you look at Amazon questions and answers, they say that the 650bt bass boost is aways on. But not sure how will it sound comparing to the 950bt because their drivers are considered as a bit weaker then the 950's.
Tim the xb650bt are on ear instead of over ear. This means instead of cups surrounding your ear, they sit on top. Personally, I think on ear hurts a bit more and leaks a lot more sound. Over ear (950) is better.
Tim they are shit compared to 950's they have small drivers
please don't get them, they sound like shit compared to the crusher wireless!
I got my crushers for 130 and I love them

TANIMAL13 definitely
Dharin Costic People say Skullcandy is a joke which I used to agree with. But whoever works at Skullcandy needs a raise cause these are way better than anything they've ever made. I think UAC was a little biased in this comparison (which is ok cause it's his opinoin) but I've listened to both and I give the edge to the crushers.
TANIMAL13 agreed
Boi u write like jayden smith all day
Your music in the back round is shaking my head. Skull candys sound amazing with games and movies.
how are the skull candy crushers not here
Just bought the Skullcandy Crusher.
They are amazing!!!!
It's all a matter of preference people.
Just buy what you like.
one reason I didn't go with BT is because the thousands of reviews on best buy and Amazon saying they're easily broken right after the 30 day period and Sony doesn't honor the warranty. anybody can confirm or deny?
up
At around 0:17 , when he's holding the skullcandy headphones up, there's this pixelation where the headrest part is, just below the logo on his shirt. Anyone understand what's happening? I even bumped the quality up to 1440p!
While looking at the video, it seems to occur whenever the black from the headphones cross his red shirt
every headset is tight and can hurt your head at first if you use them long periods, but when you use them for a while they get loosen and fits your head good

You say that there’s less controls on the skull candy’s when you have just as much and a customisable bass slider as the volume keys double as a means to skips songs when double tapped and the power button as a pause. There isn’t anything you can’t control from the headset itself

Hey UrAvgConsumer I'm a long time subscriber, but first-time poster and I have a quick question: in your headphone reviews, I've never seen you review any Bluedio model headphones. Have you tried the Bluedio R+ or Bluedio R+ Legends, and if so, what are your thoughts on them?

Got the Xb950bt because of you man! keep it up! keep em coming!
The biggest thing I noticed is that out of the box the crushers ear cups are kinda stiff, but after a month or two of using them they start to soften and they get alot more comfortable
Sennheiser HD4.30 ?
I hate the 950bt, I god some and was wearing when the plastic piece holding the left headphone exploded into like 12 different pieces. the build quality is horrid.
KING you got a defective pair I've had mine since 2014 and they still work perfectly
-Derryl- So it happens, then I taped it back together with duct tape (a terrible fix) and then the right hook broke like 6 days later :-/. It's cool that yours are still working tho :-).
KING did u try using the warranty?
Erick OCAMPO yeah, the people i bought them from wouldn't make good on their warranty.
KING have u tried contacting sony? , thats what i did with mine and i got a new pair for free
he lied about sound clarity !! skullcandy crusher wireless have more clarity than sony xb950bt, i have bought both of them !! sony sound is muddy and no clarity but the bass is real and good, but skullcandy has good highs and mids than sony and bass is best!! i know its artificial on skullcandy but its worth it,u should own both of em to experience different kind of bass,in some songs i like sony's but in most songs i like skullcandy
For me the crushers for comfort after a few weeks go way more flexible
The SkullCandy Crushers are mind blowing they're super comfortable and really nice. After breaking them in with my spotify playlist with the Bass Slider set right by the 30% they sound amazing. I wear the Crushers for the whole day and never had any discomfort unless I was wearing my earring studs they press against the headphones. So without earrings on they're super comfortable
Wow a UAC video that is not sponsored?!
Andreas You wish! He was totally biased over the Sonny's one.
Lucas Doering yeah i know and therefore it may not be a very good comparison but the video isn't sponsored. If so he has to tell the viewer that it is sponsored.
Andreas well, probably not $ sponsored, but see, he's reviewing a lot of Sonny stuff lately, pretty much only good reviews and some of them even on first-hand... Must be receiving a kind of patronage (which is normal, I think...)

The springs inside the crushers are for the bass frequencies to travel through giving them more of a radiated sound
Question, did you actually USE both of these for any period of time? If so, how long do you usually spend wearing/listening, before doing a video like this?
Vmodas should be In this battle
they cost less than both of these and are made of great materials too. I'm talking about the crossfade lp 1.
V-Moda headphones should not be in this battle: since we're comparing new headphones together, that would mean you'd have to compare the XB950BT and Crusher Wireless with the Crossfade Wireless 2, a $300+ monster of a Bluetooth headphone that bears deeper sub levels of bass without needing a bass boost function while still sounding very clear AND having the same "cliqfold" collapsible design of the M-100s that literally makes it just a bit bigger than your hand. The Crossfade Wireless 2 would RAPE them if a comparison was to be made in all fields except bass boost function which it doesn't have and affordability.
Ahhh! Decisions.. decisions..
I am looking to get my first pair of headphones as I've always owned earbuds and I don't want to spend a lot.
I hear the Skullcandy has better, all-around, sound whereas the Sonies have more comfort and I think they look cooler
Skullcandy are so much more durable drop them 100 still working they are just so dum working. Sonys use bad plactic small parts higher price bla bla bla.... so just get the skullcandy I had sonys befoure they broke. BTW wasent the first time something sony broke.
I tried both. Skullcandy crusher is better for hard hitting, ear rattling bass. Also Skullcandy look better and are more portable. It all depends on what music you listen to.
One thing I didn't like about the Sony is that it's got that intrusive beep when you reach the max sound. The music is silenced for a second or two. Do the Skullcandy have this as well?
UrAvgConsumer help me out... Why am I BARELY getting notifications for your video? :O
Idk dude. Try turning the notification setting on with the little bell next to the subscribe button.

Sony alway wins ;)
Can't beat quality.
Biased to the max. How tf do you like the sony spin muffs better than the completly foldable crushers??? And crushes your skull?? LMAO he is sensitive.
Skull Candy wins for me. I own a d use 4 times a week at my gym. Bultime tanks. Beats don't even compare. Great bass and highs. Comfy a d looks good. All why you need.
Should I buy Skullcandy hesh 3‘s or Sony xb950b1‘s?
Too much bias not a honest review.
for comfort on the skullcandy is that you can stretch the top of it to make it less painfull to wear for a long time
I have gotten the Sony's before watching this video, they are probably the best headphones I've ever gotten. One thing I like is the Bluetooth range, I can walk anywhere in my house with my phone in my room and have no connectivity issues. Also, there is an app you can get where you can adjust the bass Level, type of environment you want for the sound, and you can control the noise cancellation button from the app. Also, the bass boost does work with out it having to be on. I have never put a better pair of headphones on my head.
Could you make a comparison between Sony mdr 1000x and boss quit comfort35,and tell us Wich of them are your favorite
I remembered the wired version of the crushers weren't very loud so you had to have your phone on max volume. You could barely hear people talk. So are the wireless crushers loud?
Just wondering Judner...I got a new pair of the 950BT's, due to what happened to the last pair I owned. How do you keep the swivel part from breaking? I bought a case, but just to be sure...how have yours lasted so long?
When it comes to price, also consider that the 950s will likely drop in retail price when the n1s are released.
Which is good Sony platinum wireless headset or skull candy wireless for ps4 and to listen to songs
Sorry for bad English
With the sonys not being as snug fit as the crushers, are the Sonys a gym set headphones too? Or will they fault off if I'm doing bench press lauding down?
skull candy is an experience. I demoed them at Target and they shook my dome. I was NOT expecting that or prepared!
