Some headphones play bass. Skullcandy’s Crusher 720 lets you feel it in your skull, and the pair just dropped to $139.99 from $209.99.
The 720 is the next step up from the Crusher Evo, and the pitch is physical low end you can turn up or down like volume. Every color is in on the cut this time. Plain True Black sits next to the loud Plasma red.
The cut takes a third off the price Skullcandy normally charges for its flagship bass line, and it lands on the newest model instead of the outgoing Evo. That timing is the story here.
Skullcandy built the Crusher line for listeners who treat bass as a physical thing, and the 720 pushes that idea harder than any model before it.

The bass runs on its own drivers, and a wheel sets the level
Crusher Bass is Skullcandy’s patented sensory bass, and dedicated drivers push the low notes as a physical buzz on top of the sound you hear. Turn it up and a kick drum lands in your cheekbones. Turn it down and the mix settles back into a normal pair of headphones. It gets intense.
Movies get the same rumble in explosions and low scores, and games get the thump that says something big just landed.
A redesigned wheel on the earcup sets how hard that bass hits, and sliding it to the bottom switches Crusher Bass off completely. Skullcandy calls this generation the most intense yet, deeper and smoother than the Evo. The same control sits in the app too.
The buzz is adjustable in small steps rather than a couple of presets. A podcast can sit at a low rumble while a workout playlist gets the full shake and a movie gets something in between.
THX Spatial Audio and a profile tuned to your ears
THX Spatial Audio widens the picture. Games and movies feel like they’re playing through speakers spread around the room instead of two earcups. Personal Sound by Mimi then adapts the audio to your specific hearing profile, not a generic preset, inside the Skullcandy app. Two profiles, two different headphones.
Skullcandy describes the effect as feeling surrounded by high-end speakers, which is the right picture for a headset that already shakes.
Multipoint pairing keeps two devices connected at once, so a laptop and a phone can stay in rotation without a re-pair dance when you switch between a call and a playlist. No re-pairing ritual. Swap in seconds.
The app also carries the Crusher control, the equalizer and the personalization test, so the setup lives in one place. The bass slider sits one tap away in the same menus when a song hits harder than expected.
Sixty-five hours of battery and cushions built for the long haul
A full charge runs up to 65 hours, which covers a week of commutes and classes before the cable even comes out of the drawer. Deeper, softer ear cushions and an improved headband spread the clamp out, so the pair stays comfortable deeper into a long session. The frame also folds flat. Weekend trips stop needing a cable at all.
Long sessions are the real test for a big over-ear. The softer cushions are the change you notice an hour in, not the one in the spec list.
Sixty-five hours also means the battery stops being the thing you plan your day around. A missed charge last night stops being a problem by lunch, or even by dinner after a long shift. One less thing to track.
Flat-folding earcups help the pair slide into a bag without a bulky case. The collapsible frame travels better than the big footprint suggests at first glance, even next to a laptop, a charger and a change of clothes inside a crowded weekender.
Five colors, one sale price
Future, True Black, Primer, Cement and Plasma all sit at the same $139.99, so the color pick comes down to taste instead of which one happens to be discounted. Plasma is the loud one. True Black disappears into a backpack. Cement and Primer keep it quiet. Nobody has to settle for the color that happens to be left.
Plasma goes loudest. Future goes purple.
That $209.99 list price is the number Skullcandy usually charges for the Crusher 720, so the $70 gap is a real cut rather than a dressed-up two-dollar trim.
Every colorway carries the same drivers, the same wheel, the same app features and the same battery, so nothing about the sound changes with the paint. Pick the paint you like looking at.
The Evo crowd gets the clearest upgrade path here, with stronger bass control and the spatial layer in one jump.

Buy it if your playlists live on bass and you want the level on a wheel instead of buried in an app. Skip it if you want quiet, neutral tuning, because this pair has a point of view and it rumbles.
