Skullcandy - Crusher 540 Active

I too started out with Hesh and since then I've owned a few pairs of Crusher Evos and just now updated to the 540s. I love Skullcandy.

Second this. I tried the 540s but returned them. I ended up getting Wicked Cushions for my anc2s and it sounds amazing

No no no no no ignore all of these people in the comments not trying to be rude but I'm so telling you your best option will be to go to your local Best buy look at the headphones selection look at the skull candy headphones and then buy a pair for about $130 called the skull crusher 540 Honestly any of those Skullcandy over ear headphones in that price range are going to be absolutely perfect and will blow away so many more expensive models. No joke they are actually unbelievable headphones for the price

Bought the 540 actives last month already washed the ear cups twice 🤣

Skullcandy 540 active, the best bass ever made in any type of hedphone and I have more than 2000 $ headphones

Perhaps Sennheiser battery implementation is better than others. But even the best batteries have a service life. It’s an expected failure point, and the refusal for a company to identify this issue is an example of consumerism at it’s worst. I had a Drop Panda and two Skullcandy Crushers completely die in exactly a year I could have ordered a appropriate replacement battery and soldered in myself except the cup housings were snapped and glued to be permanently sealed. I really don’t understand what companies have against putting a cover plate on the electronics to make it accessible. It doesn’t require complex engineering to make a headphone serviceable. It’s just designed obsolescence and corporate greed IMO.

If you're looking for decent wireless noise cancelling in that price category you can always grab a pair of Soundcore Q30 (or 35 if you can get them used/on sale) For plain old wired headphones in the $30-40 range you can always snag the Koss Porta Pros, or the KPH30i. They sound much better than you'd expect, especially if you swap out the pads. Moving up the price range you'll find things like the Audio Technica ATH-M50x (Wired or Wireless), Grado SR60/80 (Wired), Beyer Dynamics DT770 (Wired). These all sound different, ATH being more bass, Grado lots of Treble, and Beyers are flat. If you like thumpy headphones you can absolutely enjoy Skullcandy Crushers, or Marley over ears. The latter have a pretty solid build quality whereas the other are more affordable. Everyone has a preference, so just enjoy what sounds good to you. I would probably shy away from unreviewed no name headphones like those you linked, though!

Have some skullcandy crushers I use when I lift heavy at the gym then on other days I use my TOZO open ear rings they sound amazing for what I paid for them $26

I have a set of Skullcandy crushers that I play with the haptic bass set way up. Makes shooters/horror games way more immersive. Everything else I tend to use either my KZ or CMF buds

Specifically for working out the skullcandy crushers are top tier. I also have some sony xm4's, airpod pros and liberty 4 pros.
