Our loudest, smartest, most advanced headphone yet: now packing Sound by Bose noise cancellation and spatial audio, for $170 less than their flagship. 

Here's the thing about Crusher: you don't just hear it, you feel it. That Bass-thumping, floor-shaking rumble has been our signature for years. The one thing people kept asking for? Give us that legendary bass and world-class quiet. So we did. Meet the Crusher 1080 ANC ft. Sound by Bose technology — the first time Bose has ever put these proprietary audio technologies inside a headphone that isn't a Bose. 

Skullcandy's most advanced headphones to date.  — HypeBeast 

HypeBeast clocked it immediately, calling the collab a way to "bring high-end noise cancellation and spatial audio to the bass-focused line." Translation: everything you love about Crusher, now with a premium brain running the show. And at $279.99, it lands well below Bose's own flagship QuietComfort Ultra at $449 — same tech pedigree, way friendlier price. 

Bose on the inside, Crusher at the core 

The Crusher 1080 ANC is loaded with a full suite of Bose software. QuietControl ANC runs a six-microphone array that reads the room and adapts to the noise around you in real time — subway, open-plan office, that one loud roommate. TrueSpatial audio with head tracking fakes a front-facing speaker setup so your music opens up around you instead of sitting flat between your ears. 

Under the hood, the Bose WaveForm Audio Engine keeps vocals clean and the acoustics dialed even when you push the volume, while SpeechClarity Voice Pickup makes sure you actually sound like you on calls.  

The bass you feel — now cleaner than ever 

Crusher's dual-driver setup pairs 36mm full-range drivers with dedicated bass units that create a physical rumble you control. Crank it or ease it back using the sensory bass dial right on the ear cup, or from the companion app. Want a little thump on a podcast and full earthquake mode on your gym playlist? Done. 

Sensory dual-bass drivers paired with stiffer, distortion-reducing diaphragms.  — HypeBeast 

The upgrade nerds will love: engineers swapped in a stiffer diaphragm material that moves more pistonically, cutting way down on the mid-range muddiness that could creep in on older Crushers when the volume peaked. HypeBeast noted it directly — the redesign was built "to clean up mid-range muddiness." Cleaner mids, harder lows, less distortion. That's the whole game. 

Built for real life 

Specs that actually matter day to day: up to 60 hours of battery with ANC off (50 with it on), and a quick-charge that gives you four hours of playback from just 10 minutes on the wall. It's foldable, runs Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and Auracast, and handles the little things — multipoint pairing, Google Fast Pair, and auto wear-detection that pauses when you take them off. 

Pick your color 

The Crusher 1080 ANC dropped in four colorways — True Black, Candy, Primer, and Cement — available now at Skullcandy.com for $279.99.
