You don't like the sound of these headphones. Simple. Sounds like you prefer a darker and more bass-heavy sound. Or you're just used to that from your other headphones. If you are an absolute basshead to the point where your favourite headphone was a gimmicky one with vibration motors, any open back is gonna be a big change for you. In fact any relatively flat headphone is gonna sound boring at first.
It's very rare to have a piece of equipment literally blow you away.
Skullcandy crusher evos are my everyday go to headphones if you like the over-the-ear style. I believe they recently came out with an active version of them called the “540 actives”, which would give you sweat/water resistance. I personally can’t attest to them, but from what I’ve read online, reviews seem to be majority positive.
If you prefer earbuds, I’ve got the Skullcandy Push ANC Active. Bass isn’t super crazy, but still pretty decent for being an earbud.
Both offer 3 Preset EQ’s + the option to create a “personalized” EQ; and the earbuds also allow to you to further fine tune the personalized one.
If you like bass, there really is no other option than Crushers. As to which model (Evo/540-Active or ANC) I don't see the point of ANC on these, the music will do the work of obscuring the exterior noise for you.
I use the ANC on my Method 360s, and it's mid-tier at best. I'd get the Crushers without.
Yes, I understand what ANC is for.
If you are *actually* being exposed to 120dB on a regular basis, ANC is not the correct tool for the job. Earplugs PLUS muffs are.
But you do u. I'll take my ANC needs to a company that does good ANC. I do use ANC on a regular basis, but I don't find it necessary nor desirable for what you trade with the ANC2 v Evo.
I'd have to strongly disagree. I bought the Evo and the bass is fake (I'm not sure what I expected tbh, but it's literally just vibrations) and if you listen to real quality bass , the Evo bass sounds and feels disgusting.
Keep in mind I'm a bass head and I was looking for mind blasting bass, Evo just felt like shit version of bass. I stopped using it after 5 times.
Edit: don't even get me started with anc with Evo . It's non existent lmao
Hi! I can help with this im a electronic repair technician and i know alot a out headphones. Theres plenty of pairs out there that fit your budget. I can recommend skullcandys crushers and icons or heshs. All 3 can be found for under 100$ in the right place and i can help by also giving the links ive personally bought from several times for myself and friend. These are for eBay certified refurbished. You get 2 warranties. One from skullcandy for 1 year and one from all state through eBay for 2 years. I used my original crushers throughout school and they was amazing. They have good sound and these ones are good for budget and can be trusted to work for a long time. Alot of people say skullcandys just arent good but each headphone company has a different sound signature. If you liked the slyrs youll live the crushers man. I get the under 100$ thing tho i was the same in school and didnt wanna drop a bunch. I got a great middle ground here tho thankfully. Any questions feel free to ask i know about other headphones aswell and brands.

A small edit: look up reviews of the skullcandy crusher evos and anc 2s. You won't be dissapointed. There's a reason why ive had to buy over 10 pairs for friends who wanted to take mine.
Ill further this. Get the crushers evos in ebay certified refurbished for 75$ usd. Comes with a 2 year all state warranty and skullcandy honors the 1 year warranty too. Also faster shipping and order fulfillment.
Skullcandy has great products but they are becoming hit or miss due to the production line. My solution as a electronics repair technician myself is to refer people to these. Since they was tested by a repair person and certified you never get bullcrap. Atleast ive never got screwed buying 30+ times from them
Quick edit before i forget heres the link from who i buy directly from if anyone sees and is interested. The anc 2s and crusher active and MANY other pairs are there for refurbished price. This guy been chill and so far none if my friends/family ive had to had to buy a pair for have had any issues.
