Our Verdict

Skullcandy Crusher 2014

Skullcandy Crusher Wireless 2016

The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless 2016 are better headphones than the Skullcandy Crusher 2014 thanks to their wireless design you can also use wired. The wired Crusher 2014 have a more lightweight design and a better-balanced bass when not using the bass slider. They're also a bit more comfortable than the wireless variant since they're not as tight on the head. On the other hand, the Crusher Wireless have a better range, a more durable build quality, and easier to use controls, and they can be used wired and wireless which makes them a lot more versatile. They also have a better default sound.
