Keep your 1080s. I confirmed the haptic engine is the same as ANC2s and EVOs.

Come on Skullcandy, do your thing, time to add a "Overdrive" app button for that silly crusher bass That or just a switch between Bose-tuned or Skullcandy-tuned I suppose?

dont waste your money on the Crusher 1080 ANC.

pretty interesting review, but one thing I cant get over is how you mention highs and anc2 being good quality. I have the anc2 and plyr 720, and ive spent about 4-5k on audio equipment as a 22 year old with an average income. Its a huge part of my life and a massive interest, due to this im quite in

Tuned for Bose fans, not Skullcrushers. 1080 vs ANC2s

I just don't know how people can use the Crusher ANC 2 at max bass and not notice how the DSP just kicks in and makes it sound bad. I never used mine at 100% for that reason, and that's with ANC off, because the bass just distorts with ANC on. You're allowed to like a lot of bass, but please never c

What can we realistically expect from future crusher 1080 firmware updates?

Well if the sound timbre is described as "Tin-can like" then that's already not a good sign. The Crusher ANC 2 has a tin-can like timbre straight out of the box and needs EQ + a pad swap to sound decent. As for the bass, what I am most curious about is how accurate it sounds, not whether or not it h

Skullcandy 1080 or ANC 2?

1080 has amazing ANC. ANC 2 has almost no ANC. $ for $ get the 1080. Better features and better fidelity. It has some quirks but firmware patches will fix them, such as wear detect issues and even the lack of bass(at lower volumes) will most likely be fixed. At max volume they have the same crusher

Crusher 1080 a week later

The crusher volume level is normal. They gave no promises but are looking into changing the crusher volume table to increase bass at lower volume. At higher volumes the crusher experience is the same as evo or anc 2. The crashing issue is strange, make sure they are up to date. Maybe give them a res

Bought the ANC 1080. Owned ANC 1 and 2. My very short thoughts.

You’re right. Bass response from the drivers themselves is great and very Bose-esque. However, Crusher bass, which is why many would choose these over Bose, is underwhelming for those coming from Evos or ANC 2s like myself.

Skullcandy 1080 or ANC 2?

Don't even consider the Crusher ANC 2 anymore. A lot of the hate comes from people who only care about how much bass the product has, not the quality of the bass. The Crusher ANC 2 can't even handle itself at max bass, and it distorts with ANC on. The noise cancelling isn't even good on that pair an

I let the Skullcandy Crusher 1080 ANC rattle my skull for a week. The Bose tech was why I didn't quit

Compared alongside the graph for the Crusher ANC 2, it definitely seems like these cover a lot more of the sub bass frequencies, but I'm not sure if I like that dip at around 125hz when the haptic bass is engaged.

Crusher 1080 arrived 🔥

I've never owned the Crusher ANC 2s but the bass is lacking a lot compared to the Crusherv plyr 720s. hopefully just a software issues. and also I checked the box and it says 35mm
