While bass-heavy headphones can be controversial (especially for those who like a more balanced sound signature), Skullcandy remains a leader in affordable over-ear options for people who prefer throttling bass. If you’re in the market for mid-range headphones that deliver comfort, long battery life, and a unique bass adjuster, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless headphones are a great option, and according to price trackers,  they’re currently 52% off, bringing them to a record low price of $99.99 (originally $209.99).

The immersive bass is the star of the show here, courtesy of extra bass drivers that complement the dual 40mm drivers and an adjustable bass slider. Slide it down for a milder bass response, or crank it up for a heavier rumble that’s perfect for action-packed movies, gaming, and EDM or hip-hop (though perhaps not ideal for podcasts). Even at their lowest setting—and with the Skullcandy app offering three EQ presets and a Personal Sound feature that customizes audio to your preferences—these are still decidedly warm and bass-forward headphones. 

Despite the reasonable price point, they give you an impressive 40 hours of wireless playback, and with a 10-minute rapid charge, you’ll get four hours of listening time. Plush memory foam earcups and a lightweight build also make them comfortable enough for extended listening. They don’t include active noise cancellation, relying instead on passive isolation. They also lack multipoint pairing and support for advanced codecs.

 While these might not be the best choice for audiophiles with a warm, bass-heavy sound prioritized over complete accuracy and detail, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless headphones are a fun, comfy option with a unique adjustable bass feature, and at more than half off, their shortcomings are much easier to overlook.
