this video is brought to you by Squarespace what's going on everyone at ravish consumer and today I finally got a review for you guys of the Skullcandy crusher so let's not waste any time let's get right into it bah-bah-bah-bah-bah alright guys here we have the Skullcandy crushers and skull candy is put out a warning that these headphones have bass you can feel so watch out now I know some of you guys are quite excited about the crushers do that they're crazy bass and probably that $99 price point but let's see if it's all it's cracked up to be here I have the black version and they come with a few other color options such as red white black and even some custom designs the crushers are a bit on the large side especially when you take a look at the ear cups but they do have a foldable design so this doesn't hinder their portability or storage options taking a look around the headphones you can see that it has a fairly thin and plastic headband which has a pretty interesting design for the cushion underneath it may not look comfortable due to the ridges but I had no problems while listening to it moving on to the ear cups you'll notice that they're a little large but probably because they contain through drivers as well as a built-in amplifier and for those of you who don't know what a driver is it's basically where the music or sound comes from within the ear cups their questions are made of synthetic leather and are actually quite comfortable above the right ear cushion is a latch that you can pull down to reveal where your double-a battery is housed and at the bottom you'll find chrome grills as well as your 3.5 millimeter audio input and last but not least you have the bass slider on the back of the left ear cut overall the crushers have a plastic build which I typically have no issues with but I can't shake the hollow feeling that he's given the hand when you unfold these or bring any real movement to them it feels and sounds as if there are springs inside you can especially feel this when adjusting the sides while it's on your head now I know that this is in place to give the head rattling feeling when you pump up the bass slider but when you aren't using the headphones or you don't have the slider turned up while listening it can come off as cheap and feeling really hollow I'm sure these aren't as hollow as they feel but that not only wouldn't want to bend these or leave them anywhere accidents can happen although I wouldn't trust these to take a beating if you're careful with your stuff I'm sure these can handle regular everyday wear and tear it also comes with a carrying case to make traveling a bit easier but the pouch is actually quite large and thin so you won't get much protection from it it'll just help moving the headphones and accesories around it also comes with a straight detachable cable that includes an inline remote with a play and pause button and a built-in mic now let's talk about the base feature that Skullcandy has so graciously warned us about it definitely is an experience that you won't get from your standard pair of headphones no matter how bassy they are it's similar to the pulse wireless headset you guys hear me rave about although not executed quite the same when listening to music you can expect to feel tons of vibrations from the headphones but thankfully there's a slider so you can control just how much bass you feel as a bass lover I found myself turning down the slider most of the times because it can be a lot because you can adjust the extra amount of bass I don't expect many will have an issue with the bass drowning out sounds the bass is powered by a built-in amplifier and is dedicated to its own pair of drivers within the headphone the amplifier uses a double-a battery for power and what's nice about the Crushers is its ability to tell when music is being played and when it's disconnected from an audio source this allows you to turn on and off on its own to conserve battery when not in use thus the reason for no often on switch but back to the topic of sound to be honest I wasn't too impressed by the sound quality without the bass feature present music came off muffled especially when compared to headphones within its price range and even some that were a bit cheaper some examples being the H th M 50 s the pulse wireless headphones that tout the same rumbling feature and the Logitech UE 4000s that cost only about 40 to 50 bucks now I know you're probably thinking the m50 S and the pulse are more expensive than the Crushers but only by 15 to 20 bucks vocals seem distant and require increased volume to hear clearly and I found that subtle instruments were harder to hear as well however if you don't have experience with decent quality headphones you may not even notice where the sound quality has its flaws but if you have any experience with the decent pair I'd be careful picking these up unless you're in it for the base feature but I'm pretty sure that these caught your attention that's why you want them these aren't headphones that deliver on great sound quality but rather an experience of extreme bass that will blow a lot of people's minds a lot of people will see this as a gimmick but it depends on what you're really looking for do I think these are a good buy for you if you're interested in extreme bass yes you don't get a ton of options out there when it comes to bass like this and if you're looking for a versatile or high-quality headphones this probably won't be where you want to spend your cash I think the average consumer probably won't have any issues with the sound quality unless they've used other headphones outside of Apple earbuds these aren't exactly a budget pair of headphones but they aren't expensive considering what they do and now of course I have to show you guys what they look like on but here's a quick word from our sponsor if you haven't heard of Squarespace it's one of the
