So I've been looking at reviews between the Skullcandy Crusher ANC2 and the Anker Soundcore Space Q45 since both contain active noise cancelling (ANC) with multipoint pairing between 2 bluetooth sources. It will be used between a work laptop to answer Teams calls/meetings and a phone/ipad for Spotify and used primarily foir the entirety while im working. Spotify will mainly be video game lo-fi and occasionally some songs with bass. Or in some cases, it would be nice for the headphone to seamlessly switch from my phone playing Spotify to easily/quickly switch to the work laptop for a Teams meeting ad seamlessly switch back to the phone and resume Spotify. Between the 2, which would be the better headphones overall? Or if neither are a good pair, what other recommendations should I look at?

There is currently a sale in the indian skullcandy store(skullcandy.in). The skullcandy hesh 3 wireless is listed for 70USD(₹5000). Its original price was 140USD(₹10000). I am planning on buying it. I have never owned a decent pair of headphones so this is my first pair. Does anyone use these heaphones,and are they worth the money? BTW I will not be gaming with this, just casual music listening.

I think my iPhone 5s is breaking my headphones, but I would like a technical opinion. When I plug my earbuds into my phone to listen to music, I turn the volume up high. It depends on the earbuds (my normal earbuds are the skullcandy smokin bud 2) but I typically turn the volume to 2/3 - 4/5, a volume deemed loud by my piers. On a new pair of earbuds, everything works flawlessly, but after some time using the earbuds with my iPhone, I start to notice static picking up in the left earbud (it's always the left one). The static is not constant. It can only be heard at certain points of the track and the static doesn't block out the music. Everything still plays but the static is in the background and it is really really annoying. If I turn the music down to 50% or so, the static is no longer there but then the listening experience is no where near as enjoyable. The static starts out very soft, but as I keep using the headphones, it gets worse and more prominent. With past earbuds, the left earbud has stopped working completely. I can't say for sure the static is related to the break, but I don't know what else could be going on. In the past, the static has shown up in two pairs of apple earbuds, my last pair of skullcandy smokin buds and is now present in my smokin buds 2 (got them on Boxing Day, probably 15 hours of loud music use). One of the apple earbuds ended up having an entirely broken left earbud and so did my last pair of skullcandys. My thoughts are that either my phone is doing something weird to the left channel of the audio port or I am mistreating my earbuds in some way. I deemed my phone as "unsafe for good headphones" probably a year ago, so that lets you know how long this problem has been going on. I refuse to plug my senhiser 598's into my phone. If my phone is the problem, I have no problem getting a new one. The ZTE Axon pro or Axon 7 are definitely options, but please let me know what you think.

Finally got a new gaming laptop and im looking to get some Bluetooth headphones primarily for music listening and some gaming on the side. My budget is a $100 and i found 2 headphones. The Sennheiser HD 4.40 BT and the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless. I was wondering which you guys think is better for music and has better build quality. (im also open to any other suggestions at a $100) (they have to be over ear as well)

So i'm currently on the market for some cheap wireless earbuds. I didn't want to get from any brand in china that could disappear at moments notice so I was doing some digging. Eventually google sucked up enough of my info to give me skull candy truly wireless earbud adds. I didn't know that skull-candy had earbuds so I checked their store. I found three different pairs of earbuds that caught my eye. The skull candy sesh, which had really bad battery life but really good audio and its on sale for 30$. The skull candy sesh evo, which is exactly like the sesh, but with better battery in the earbuds and case. Finally I found the entire reason i'm making this thread. I found the skull candy truly wireless jibs which i'm gonna link at the bottom of the thread. It advertises better batter life than the sesh evo at the price of the sesh non evo, the best part was that it was only 30$ just like the sesh non evo. I tried looking around for reviews or even other places that were selling them but I found none. Nobody reviewed them on YouTube. Rtings didn't have a review. Amazon sold all the other skull candy headphones but not the jibs. Even when you look it up it doesn't appear minus the link from skull candy. What WILL actually show up is the jib wireless but not truly wireless. If the jib is actually as good as its marketed, then it has insane an absolutely insane price, the thing is I don't want to buy it if there is not a single review on the internet. Not even the policy that lets you buy your single earbud or case, for cheaper mentions it. I'm just generally confused here. Its a good value but it doesn't make sense to me.

I'm looking for a pair of headphones that has a vibrating bass, like the Skullcandy Crusher. I really like bass and how the Crusher can vibrate with it so I'm just wondering if there are any other options out there that I can look at.

Title basically says it all. I have been rockin' Skullycandy earbuds for a long long time. Mainly because I get them for 5 bucks, which is nothing. I kind of want to experience some higher end hardware. I was wondering if anyone can recommend some earbuds/in ears that are less than 100 bucks. I don't even know where to start. I only see reviews on the Tube of over ears. I don't need links, but it would be nice. It would be awesome for you guys to just spit out some names of products and I will do the research. Thanks!

So I am going about my build like any normal person when I realised "hey, wouldn't it be nice to be able to speak to my computer?" (Note: I didn't actual think that) so I have about -£15 left in my budget but hey I am already over so why not push it a wee bit further! I don't really care about headsets as I have got my class set of £12 zippy up earphones and I can't tell the difference between them and my friends £300 skullcandy headphones so hey! But I do fancy a mike, be it USB 3.0 or PCI, and I wouldn't like to be spending over £50 on it. I would like the sound quality on it to be decent enough to actual be decent if I was to make a video or narration with it for when I am messing about making videos or if I ever make a YouTube Chanel. I have literally no idea what to look for so that's why I am asking you guys Thanks for the help

I need a new pair of earbuds. I have been using Skullcandys for a while now, usually the ink'd or the 50/50's. I like them but the keep breaking on me. They just crackle then stop working while in my ear. So my friend works a Best Buy and he only pays what best buy pays +10% so I was going to get some beats cause they are only like $40 through him but I feel like they are over rated and there are better sounding headphones around that price range. Criteria Good sound quality (I listen to pretty much everything but mainly house) And I kinda like it when its bass heavy Doesn't look stupid If you guys got any ideas it would be great!

Hey! So I got the Skullcandy Ink'd 2.0 Earbuds, (black and red w/ mic). The earbuds seem to have bad audio quality in general, but mainly they have quite a bit of static noise when playing music, and also when music is paused! Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everybody! I've saved money for a few months now to buy a new headset and the time has come. I want a good audio system and would like some tips/advices/opinions/personal experience from you guys to help me make this choice. I must say that I'm not an English speaker so my apologies for any English mistakes I may make. I will use it for mostly gaming and listening to music. I play a variety of games but I do play FPS games so a good "locational audio" is certainly a good thing. I'm going to the US in January and I'll have about a week to buy the audio system on the internet so, if the product is available on amazon, etc it's a plus (or a must, perhaps). I can pay up to $200 but I can go a little higher if it is really worth it. What I want is an audio system that is: - Comfortable: I currently use a cheap headset that I have for a few years now. It's a random 15 bucks crap and it's not comfortable at all. After wearing it for 15 minutes my head and ears start to hurt so bad that I just HAVE to switch to my earplugs and "lose" my mic because I just can't stand the pain(I'm not being a winning baby here. It does make me want to cut my ears off to alleviate the pain). So, anything that is comfortable for 5, 6 hours of straight use is what I look for. I live in a hot place so if the headphones/headset have some "sweat foam control" it's also good. I've read that those leather-ish(pleather) covers might make one sweat a bit around the ears. - Wireless: My keyboard and mouse are wireless. I like to use the computer from my bed when not gaming so that's why everything is wireless. When you have wireless stuff that actually work as good as the wired ones you kind of get addicted to it. Therefore the audio system must be wireless. I can live with a wired microphone though, because if I need to talk I'll most certainly be on my desk. Regarding the range the system works I don't really care. Working for 2m/6ft. is all I need. - Durable: I really need something that will last for a long time. I don't want it to last for 10 years but, at least, for 4 years because I don't know when I'll have the chance to buy another one in the future. I know that shit happens but I will take good care of it, it won't get out of the headphone support I will hang on the wall, it won't get sit on, etc. If it fails, it's because it was broken before reaching my hands. I know the battery will eventually die but I am prepared for that and it's ok. Having said that, I looked for a few audio systems and all I could find were "gaming" headsets. Most of them with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. I know that a 2.1 stereo sound is as good as the surround sound for games and maybe better for music/movies, so I don't really care about the surround feature. I am currently between these two wireless headsets: Corsair Vengeance 2100 Wireless Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset (V2100) - $130 My opinion from reading reviews and stuff is that it's overall a really good headset and cheap when compared to other 7.1 wireless headsets. It has large 50mm drivers ("Large diameter, circumaural ear cups - Blocks distracting sounds and keeps your head in the game"). This is definitely a good thing as I think I have a kind of average-big ears and I really care about it being comfy for a few hours of use. Also, the pads turn 90 degrees which I think is a good thing. Only negative sides I could find were that the audio-card buit-in is not that great and the headset stops working if there are walls between you and the usb antenna. Skullcandy PLYR1 7.1 Surround Sound Wireless Gaming Headset (SMPYFY-003) - $170 It has a "EQ3 EQUILIZER MODES - Sound equalization settings for games, music and movies Precision Mode, Supreme Mode, and Bass Mode" and this looks cool because it might improve sound quality depending on what you're gonna use the headset for. Something cool about this is that you can actually turn Off the Dolby 7.1 surround so it becomes a 2.1 stereo headset. You can adjust the voice x game volume turning the game volume higher or lower versus the voice volume. I don't really know how this works because what if you are using a third party program for communication like RC, TS, Skype? Will it work too? Or only if you're using the VOIP built-in? The negative sides of the PLYR1 are the price (if compared to the V2100); the pads do not rotate on the horizontal axis (the X axis) to fit your head like most headsets; and also the pads do not turn 90 degrees (to rest in your shoulders) but I don't think this is a big deal. I looked at the A50s from Astro Gaming but they are too expensive for the negative sides I found on the internet. I also looked for the G930 but its build is really cheap so it's not worth spending $100 on it. I really wanted to find the Wireless A40s but apparently they don't make them anymore. If I were to buy it today, I would buy the PLYR1 but I really hope someone can change my mind or make me feel less afraid of buying! I wanna hear what you guys think and have in mind that I would also buy a headphone if it's got those three things I pointed out in bold. Thanks a lot in advance!

So I've had my Skullcandy Aviators for about 7 years, and I was wanting to try something new and hopefully better. I finally went ahead and bought the Sennheiser HD 598 Cs (closed back) for $180 CDN. This is my first day with them and they sound, well, unimpressive. I was hoping the whole Skullcandy being overpriced poop thing would ring true here and I'd be blown away by the Senns, but honestly they sound like a 7/10 in comparison to me after about 5 hours of using them. The soundstage is definitely a bit better, but other than that they're equal in some ranges and worse in others. The bass kicks slightly better in the high bass range, but you can barely ever hear the bass because you have to lower the volume so much to keep the upper mid-tones from sending you to the ear doctor. :c So far the far inferior comfort and that ear shredding upper mid-range is probably going to get these returned to Amazon in a few days after some more testing, just to make sure I'm not going to grow into them. I feel that the soundstage is the only thing keeping me hanging on really. The point of this post really, is to ask you guys if you know something that's decently more comfortable and sounds better than the 598 Cs for roughly the same price or less. I prefer closed back and lower impedance for public/mobile use, but not absolutely necessary. I guess I prefer warmer sound as long as it doesn't get muddy at all (I won't complain about some nice bass kick as long as it's clean). Non-proprietary cables would be a huge plus too, this lock mechanism is almost return-worthy alone.
