Love my skullcrusher anc 1 (on my second pair) by skullcandy. But anything with sony 360 capability plus a music streaming platform that can deliver the highest quality audio will give you insane results.
Skullcandy Crusher ANC, they are absolute beasts.
I second Crushers bc I love having a SUBWOOFER in my fucking ears, esp since it’s ADJUSTABLE. I mostly listen to tearout, riddim, deathcore, and hardcore on them. I’ll def bump some dnb, techno, and house soon.
Skullcandy crusher anc. Hands down best purchase I've ever made. It uses haptic vibrations to hit the same frequency the bass is using and it's amazing paired with the woojer vest. Just trust me.
I use Skullcandy Crusher ANC and ear defenders. Warning it does have bass boosting slider. They do make other noise canceling headphones without the bass boost slider if bass is a problem. Personally love extra base so I use that this slider often. I tried loop earplugs but learned I hate things in my ears so over the ear headphones are the only things I can use, I don’t care how it looks.
I’ve had a pair of Skullcandy Crusher ANC’s for probably 5 years now and they’re working great with fantastic noise cancelling. Maybe not the most “professional” looking brand, but they get the job done and sound great doing it. Not to mention you can increase/decrease the bass if you’re listening to music as well.
I have skull candy ANC over the ear headphones. Cost $100 and have lasted 5 years. Not high end, not low end.
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.
