we're gonna guide to travel consumerism we've got some serious business here folks it's time to crown the king of bass headphones and in today's showdown we have the sony xba-40 bt and it's going up against the skull candy crush or wireless a pair of headphones that you guys always mentioned every time I talk about these so but see which one's better first up design now let's talk about straight-up looking folks with the Shoney's you're getting a nice premium looking pair of headphones they've got a nice black and red theme going for it as well as these metal accents can help with that whole premium look while the Skullcandy crushers they look a bit more basic normal pair of headphones are made out of plastic they're all black so while not looking as premium as the phonies they do look a bit more normal I'd say one thing that I do have to get to the skull can crushers is that when you're going out with these you can put them on and you feel like you're wearing a normal pair of headphones while when you Sony since they've got these pretty big ear cups you might feel a little bit more silly walking out the house being billed a little bit on the bigger side something else to note is that the crushers can fold while these sony's have a swiveling ear cuff design so you can lay these flat while you can fold these up a basically a personal preference what works for you I kind of like being able to just put this in my backpack laid down flat without it taking up too much space kind of like a book but it's up to you in terms of what's more comfortable for you to travel with now you all know how much I love the Sony's but I got to give it to the Skullcandy crushers just because they're dimmable wearable now in terms of comfort k9b in these these are like super super comfortable these ear cushions because they're so big they're like giant marshmallows you can throw these on your head and wear them for hours while the skull can crushers will crush your skull these are a bit tight and I honestly feel like wearing these for a long period of time you're going to want to take these off so Comfort does not match up with 950 BTS whatsoever now in terms of features these are both bluetooth headphones so you can use them wirelessly with phone tablet whatever you want but they do have some different qualities between them the Sony's have NFC so you can pair these easily with your device's it pay support NFC while the skulkin crushers do not also one thing about the sony that they have a ton of buttons all over the air cups so you have access to a ton of different controls at your fingertips while the Skullcandy carter's have a very very basic layout this radically just three button pretty much like any inline remote on a pair of headphones so there's that trade-off if you call it one you might like a simpler layout or you might like having access to all of the controls now this both also have some crazy base features and I'll describe the base in a second but with the Sony's you have the face boost button which turns the base top by a jillion while the Skullcandy has this slider where you can control just how much base is getting put into your headphones which is a really nice touch something that the skull can crushers have over the 950 DPS is that the slider and the base control can be used even without using any Bluetooth you can use it with an inline remote while when you have the inline remote plug into the 950 bps you won't have that feature you won't have access to the base boots because you can't turn on the headphones the 950 N one you're going to be able to turn on the headphones and get access to the base controls but you can use this without having any battery at all so this is kind of a bonus bear and lastly I don't know if you want to call it a spec or feature but in terms of battery life the phones have around 20 to 22 hours of battery while the cell can crusher has a very impressive 40 hours that's a lot of time so you can go a long time without charging these that's a very very nice touch with the skull candies and in terms of the features between the two of these guys I also got to say I do like that I have more at my fingertips with these skull candy crushers the Sony's NFC is cool bass looses on or off depending on how you're listening to the headphones but with skull candy crusher she's always got access to the bass controls and you got that's 40 hours of battery life so features Skullcandy gets it now let's talk about that sound and when I even touch on baby yet we'll talk about that after but when it comes to straight-up sound no based feature is just straight-up listening I gotta say I do think the sony sound better and that's because these have some better overall clarity it is easier to hear everything with these it's not as muffled as with these cocaine crushers I found that to match the kind of clarity that I got on the Sony's where the crushers I had to pump up the volume quite a bit and that's never a good sign and to be honest if you want to listen to some music that doesn't have a ton of bass maybe you want to listen to classical that day maybe you fill in fancy you're going to want something that can handle more genres of music that isn't so heavy on bass offers a bit more clarity you can hear the vocals a bit better so overall sound I got to give it to the sewing but now to talk about that bass you guys know that I talk about the bass boost button here like it's an earthquake blown on your head but the Skullcandy crushers has something crazy going on with this slider and when you max it out your ears will seriously vibrate to the point where it almost feels like it's tickling to be honest it's kind of strange it's a weird sensation but there's something about the Crushers that I'm not so crazy about it almost feels like that bass is like artificial Disney springs on the inside of the ear cups and that's the matting like with the first version of the Crushers that spring sound is just annoying actually ticklin is it I don't know if you guys can actually hear that but you hear it all the time when you've got these on so when you have it just like this they move it around you can hear like some Springs moving it's just it's weird it doesn't sound normal and that's why I'm not too crazy about it but if you're looking for something that just straight up shakes up your head these are the better option but I don't like the way this sounds to be honest I don't like it it kind of sounds you know what it sounds like it sounds like when someone's driving in a car and playing loud music outside and you can hear the music and if you can hear your windows in the windows are kind of rattling a bit but you still hear the music that's kind of how it sounds it is weird another thing to mention here is the price these are both supposed to retail for 200 bucks but you can find the songs for way cheaper than that they're always on sale you can find them on Amazon for about like 150 right now they go down to that's blowing 88 bucks when there's like a big sale like Black Friday I think our thing is for as low as $1.99 price gap - so overall to me while I think it's awesome that you can control the bass with the bass slider here and get some extreme extreme level based on the skull candies I still got to go with the regular Sony's it sounds a bit more natural to me works with more music than the skull candies do I personally I'm still rocking the 950 BTS over the Crushers I know a lot of people like these but I'm gonna stick with these guys for now I think there's a better base option but that's about it guys hopefully enjoyed it and if you did be the cool guy or girl give it a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next one pace
