Discussion why are these so bad?

51 Upvotes

I remember a time where expensive things were really good quality, like 50-90 dollar things. but now in 2026, expensive things are just as shitty as cheap things are, maybe even worse. for some reason these things have just as many bugs and glitches as my last iPhone did, and I despise apple as well lol. I don't care if I get hated on for hating these ear buds, but I seem to be the only one getting the shitty experience with these scammy buds. edit=i just checked the price of these after getting mine for about $80 in april, and they cost way more now... wtf.

Help & Troubleshoot Headphones just won’t work (Going on my second warranty return) CRUSHER 1080 ANC

• Upvotes

I had crusher ANC 2 for around 2-3 years, they had gotten really old and I decided I needed an upgrade. So I purchased a pair of Crusher 1080 ANC, took a little while for it to came in since I originally ordered it in the wrong color (my fault I know) but eventually it did and I loved them. Within the same week though, it stopped working totally. It was stuck in the turning off mode of “see ya” so I filed a warranty claim then returned it, and got a free coupon to order another one. My new one came in. I had just gotten them to my person yesterday (10/26/26) late that night. I get them connected wearing it, everything is perfectly fine. I head somewhere with my dad the next day, return home, they are low battery so I charge them. I am about to go to bed right now so I put them on possibly to watch a YouTube video. And I see the exact same glitch has occurred.

I actually love the headphones BUT IT KEEPS GLITCHING. It is so annoying and at this point I just want my money back. But if anyone has some fixes I am willing to try them because I really like the headphones.

TLDR: got Crusher 1080 ANC, returned for issues, got another one, exact same issues happened not long after first use (possibly less than 24 hours), pleas help

THE MOTHER OF ALL EQUALIZERS

Based on the SoundGuys measurements of the skulllcandy crusher 1080 anc.

Lows = Maxed out

Low mids = Usnapped above mid-point

Mids = Usnapped below mid-point

High mids = Maxed out

Highs = Maxed out

This is what happens when you give an Audiophile access to five sliders and absolutely no adult supervision.

Help & Troubleshoot Hesh ANC Headset sudden drop in audio quality

1 Upvotes

About a month or two ago, I noticed the audio quality of my headphones suddenly decreased. The audio sounds muffled like a video that has gone from 1080p to 720p. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Reinstalling the drives didn't work, restarting my pc didn't work, and disabling audio enhancements didn't work.

Warranty Hesh 360

1 Upvotes

so, I recently purchased the Hesh 360 from the skull candy online store. The earphone kept loosing one channel. My findings are that the joystick and/or switch’s - mainly the on and off (pair) button are not working properly.

no one responded or sent a box when I tried to do a warranty claim on the earphones.

usually Skullcandy earphones are very good quality. especially the yeah two and three. Back around 2010 -2014.

Are there any one else having the same problem/issue?

Slight note: I wrote this after taking some cold meds and sleep medicine. so please mind my grammar and etc. - thank you!

Purchase Advise I Need Headphones For Intense Sport with the best possible Bass and Sound

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a pair of headphones that would be suitable for ice freestyle skating, and I was wondering if someone could recommend a model.

Since ice freestyle involves a lot of movement, jumps and tricks, it’s very important to me that the headphones have a secure and stable fit and don’t fall off my head easily, even during more intense movements. Intense Bass and good sound quality are also important to me.

Which of your headphone models would you guys recommend for this kind of activity?

Thank you for your time and help!

Purchase Advise Which Headphones work better for everyday, non-stop usage?

7 Upvotes

I wanna pick one of these 4 for my birthday, but lack the proper knowledge to correctly distinguish them from each other, and so I reach to you.

What I'm mainly looking for is something I can use non-stop for basically entire days and adapt to it. Some of my activities include:

- Jogging

- Gym Work

- PC Gaming

- Watching movies

- Calls

- Listening to music

Its pretty generic but I'm unaware of which one would be the most efficient DO-IT-ALL if that makes sense. I've heard great stuff about the sound quality, noise reduction and bass amplifiers, but I'm not experienced enough to really understand it since this would be my first SC purchase.

Thank you for your time.

Help & Troubleshoot Active 540 help !!

1 Upvotes

I recently spilt some water on my 540s, they didn’t work for a few days & kept turning themselves on and off for about a full day. Once they had seemed to dry out I gave them a full charge, did a firmware reset, and they worked for a few hours before refusing to turn on today. Anyone have any advice on what to do? I rely heavily on these and am heartbroken ://

when charging them they seem to get stuck at 40% no matter what

Help & Troubleshoot Please Help Me. No Audio on PC Only! (Crusher 1080)

1 Upvotes

My headphones were just working earlier today, but now they play zero sound ONLY when connected to my PC. They work just fine connected to any other device, but they now play no sound at all when connected to my PC, despite it showing in the mixer that audio is playing. I am so confused and distraught; I just got these not even two weeks ago! I've restarted my computer, deleted the headphones and readded them; nothing. Please, I am begging for help here.

EDIT: It was my Alternative A2DP Driver free trial ending. Purchasing the license fixed it. 🤦🤦

Review 1080 Haptic bass "fixed" with recent firmware update.

4 Upvotes

The firmware update from October 13th pretty much brings the haptic bass to a level that traditional Skullcandy costumers are accustomed to. I really appreciate Skullcandy and Bose for listening to customer feedback. Now the headphones have the Bose sound quality with a crusher feel that we're all accustomed to.

To get the full crusher experience, just go to the Skullcandy app and turn the crusher profile to "Full".

Help & Troubleshoot Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 has uneven bass. More bass on the right side than the left. Should I return it?

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I recently purchased a new Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 from Amazon, but I've noticed that the bass intensity is uneven. The right side has noticeably stronger bass, while the left side has weaker bass.

I ordered it on 15th October and received it on 22nd October. Since it's brand new, I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this issue through the settings or if I received a defective unit.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Crusher ANC 2? Should I try troubleshooting it first, or should I return it and exchange it for a new one?

Discussion New to the Skullcandy community! Looking for work-friendly headphones

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm new here, and I'm starting to fall in love with Skullcandy! I'm a huge fan of the Crusher series, and I absolutely love my Crusher ANC 2. I've also owned the Crusher EVO and several smaller models, like the Smokin' Buds and Jib.

Now I'm looking for a new pair of headphones for work and everyday casual use. I need something good for music but also suitable for work meetings, so microphone quality is important to me.

I've been looking at the PLYR 720 and the PLYR, mainly because of their microphones, but I'm not sure if they're the best choice for what I need.

What do you guys think?

Are the PLYR 720 or PLYR good for work meetings and everyday music listening?

How is the microphone quality for calls?

Are there any other Skullcandy models you'd recommend for this kind of use?

One more thing: I've seen some PLYR 720 headphones being sold really cheap secondhand. I've never bought used headphones before, so I'm wondering if it's worth the risk. What should I check before buying a used pair?

I'd really appreciate your advice and recommendations!

Thanks, everyone! 🤘

Help & Troubleshoot Unable to get a proper customer service

2 Upvotes

A little more than a week ago i purchased the skullcandy crusher evos on sale on the official skullcandy website but i didn't rly like them as they were too extreme for me. I tried returning them (im still in the 14 day return policy) but the site keeps giving an error and i cant seem to be able to speak to a human person. My emails get automated replies that send me to the ai assistant on the skullcandy site, and the ia keeps telling me to send an email to help@skullcandy.com so im stuck in an endless loop. This is by far the worst customer service experience I've had and i was wondering if there's a way i can return the item and get my money back.

So I originally posted this, on the SkullCandy Collections Sub.

However, I feel I should post it on the Official SkullCandy Reddit so it reaches the whole community!

I'm not sure if this post will just show the first song I posted, or all of the ones I posted in the comments too, so please, bare with me..

Just know that I'm working on a playlist and will be posting it once it's finished. The post will include: The Playlist/Navigating it, photo of my collection, and additional gear to get you Super Immersed in your music, movies, and games, or whatever it is you use your headphones for! 🤙

I'm not necessarily a reddit user, so my mannerisms might not be up to code with this group. I apologize, I'm not a daily redditor. 😓

There was a Kind Soul in that Sub who mentioned how much they appreciated the original post, so here I am now, to all my fellow SkullCandy Followers/BassHeads.. Massive Bass is coming soon!

Just trust me, keep your eyes peeled people!

You're going to love this, I promise! 🫡

Love y'all! 🙏
