But then if you're new to wireless headphones, have a pair in shredded tatters (don't laugh, we've been there) or are looking for a new variety, a second option from smaller, wireless earbuds, the Skullcandy Evo are certainly worth considering. Your default EQ setting is 'Music Mode', optimized for bringing out the best sound in music as well great for general listening. Yes, as well as to a phone, tablet, MP3 player, laptop, or anything else with a Bluetooth connection.

As mentioned above, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo rely on button operation rather than touch control. I personally find this very good, as I still prefer this concept. Select “Crusher™ Evo” and accept any “Pair” or “OK” prompts that appear on your screen. When pairing is complete, a voice prompt will say “connected.” However, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo score with a really strong battery life. We could even exceed the 40 hours according to the manufacturer’s specification in the test. At medium volume and without haptic bass, the over-ear held out for about 60 hours. If you push the slider to the limit, you still get around 50 hours of runtime.ISSUE: Not seeing the RED LED LIGHT on Crusher™ Evo that indicates headphones are charging. Or, not seeing BLUE LED LIGHT on Crusher™ Evo that indicates headphones are finished charging, despite charging for 2+ hours. Battery life is pretty good on Skullcandy headsets, in our experience. The Crusher EVO though almost doubles what the Crusher ANC had at 24 hours to now giving 40 hours on one charge. And you can also fast charge for four hours of use in just 10 minutes. I did not find I needed to charge up the headphones once during our test over a few days. I also appreciated that the headphones turned themselves off when not in use — a solid battery saving help.

On the left side, on the other hand, we find the on/off switch on the inside, which is also used for pairing devices via Bluetooth. Below that lies a special feature of the Skullcandy Crusher Evo and that is the bass control, which lets you adjust the intensity of the haptic bass by sliding it up or down.

Holding down the buttons for three seconds lets you skip to the next or previous song, while the middle button can also be used to answer or reject calls and launch the voice assistant – though the latter didn’t work with Apple’s Siri in testing. How good do the Skullcandy Crusher Evo sound?

You will want to make sure the device Bluetooth is enabled, and your earbuds are powered on and paired to your device. The first thing I notice with sound? No lag. Even the Crusher ANC seem to have a lag, where TV and voice do not match up. With the new Crusher Evo the sync is perfect. And that is both a relief and excellent.

Please make sure that your device remains powered on, paired to your earbuds, maintains constant WIFI or cellular service, and linked with your earbuds.First, remove your headphones from your device’s Bluetooth paired list.
