- The first skullcandy crusher helmet made for the gymnasium
- Resistance to perspiration and water, plus a nano-meeting and silicone band
- Many bass promised, but no active noise cancellation
Skullcandy’s new active helmet is from Skullcandy looks like shelters almost perfect for the gymnasium: they are resistant to perspiration, they have great battery life and they promise to provide a sound of pumping and motivation. But there is a great functionality lacking: the cancellation of active noise.
It is a strange choice for headphones when many gymnasiums have a fairly strong soundtrack, and given the price – £ 169.99 £ / 199.99 $ (about $ 353 in) – this means that the lack of ANC is all the more apparent; Our list of the best headphones has options half the price that come with a very good ANC.
It’s a shame, because the rest of the specifications are very good.
Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active Cashphones: Key characteristics
The main characteristics here are more comfortable on comfort and longevity: the headphones are resistant to perspiration and water with a strip of nano-coating and silicone to cope even with the heaviest training.
Ear cushions are made from breathable fabric and have improved tightening so that they remain in place. Skullcandy says that the cups have an “noise insulation ear design” to reduce distractions even without anc.
The sound, the great functionality is the crusher technology of Skullcandy, which allows you to drive the bass to correspond to the intensity of your activity, and there is a search for integrated tiles so that you do not lose them if you leave them in the locker room. The pilots are 40 mm with two bass drivers, and there are Bluetooth 5.0 with integrated commands on the headphones as well as the complete integration of the Skullcandy application – including the possibility of backing up if you prefer.
The battery life is 40 hours, with a quick charge of 10 minutes offering four hours of reading the apartment.
All this seems great, but other big headphones at this price offer ANC, such as the Sony Ult Wear headphones or the Sennheiser Accentum Plus. It is true that the headphones focused on the Beats gymnasium, the Beats Solo 4, are a similar price and also have no ANC – but we have also criticized them for omission.
There could be many people who do not want to use ANC in the gymnasium, to keep more aware of their environment – but you would like to use these headphones at other times, and would you not want old during public transport or at the office? There is a reason why the best noise cancellation headphones are so popular.
However, if comfort and sound are good, they could be very popular – the sweat -resistant hemaments are not so common. The new Skullcandy Crusher 540 helmet is available worldwide from Skullcandy and usual retailers.
