Comfortable fit, thumpin’ base, rugged design, and a reasonable price-tag; a lion in the world of headphones, the ‘Crushers sit at the top of the food chain.

The Skullcrushers are an incredible pair of headphones, and are my first choice when I’m out riding on my own and want some tunes. It is truly amazing – must be heard to believe – just how much bass these headphones can pump out. The headphones look at home over a hat and under a pair of goggles. The strap adjusts well to fit over hats and is sturdy enough to hold together when you case it, and the ear-cups rotate slightly to fit your ears. Even after wearing these phones for several weeks and several wrecks, they show no sign of wear.

My one complaint is that the volume control knob is poorly placed. Since the control also houses the AA battery, it’s plenty heavy, and too big around to slide through most wire holes. As a result it sits inside your jacket, but not inside your MD pocket, and flops around.

The Crushers are well worth their retail price, but you can regularly find them for $20 less, making them even more of a deal.
