Mind-melting Crusher bass, approved by your favourite skaters and sound by Bose – what more could you want from your headphones??

If you walk into the LWA office, chances are you’ll notice two things: first up, there are an unusual amount of popcorn and chocolate wrappers everywhere, and secondly, everyone is either wearing or within arm’s reach of a pair of Skullcandy headphones. Now things are changing. And by changing, I mean we’re just gonna be upgrading our sonic experience with the new Crusher 1080 ANC with Sound by Bose.

Let me just describe the sound. Of course there is the Crusher Bass which literally makes your head shake when it’s cranked up, elevating the low end to give you a convulsing listening experience. Then there’s the Bose tech which is about as clean as it comes. It feels spatial – like you’re listening to music in 3D, if that even makes sense??

But for you tech heads out there, here’s what you need to know. The Crusher 1080 ANC pairs Skullcandy’s most advanced adjustable Crusher Bass with Bose QuietControl six-mic adaptive active noise cancelling, Bose TrueSpatial with head tracking and the Bose WaveForm Audio Engine. Throw in up to 60 hours of battery life (50 with ANC on), rapid charging that gives you four hours of playback from a 10-minute top-up, multipoint pairing, Bluetooth 5.3, wear detection, low latency mode and custom EQ controls through the Skullcandy app, and these are as feature-packed as headphones get.

“Skullcandy is known for pushing the boundaries of bass. For the uninitiated, the Crusher experience is akin to standing front row at your favourite concert. It’s the closest thing to reality,” said Skullcandy CEO Brian Garofalow. “In addition to giving fans the best-ever Crusher experience, we worked with Bose to be the first partner to integrate their noise cancellation, spatial audio, and other Sound by Bose technologies together. We set out to make the world’s greatest headphone by combining the two to deliver an incredible sonic experience for an unbelievable value.”

Available in four colourways – Black, Candy, Primer and Cement – the Crusher 1080 ANC lands at $399.99 AUD. If you’re looking to upgrade your daily commute, gym sessions or just want to feel like you’re standing front row at every gig you listen to, you can grab a pair now from Skullcandy Australia and exclusively at JB Hi-Fi nationwide.
