Our Verdict
Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless
Beats Solo3 2019 Wireless
If you like very bass-heavy headphones, the Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless are better than the Beats Solo3 2019. The Skullcandy cans have a unique haptic bass slider and fit over-ears. Their mic is a bit better sounding. The companion app has slightly more customized sound options but higher latency. The Beats are more stable and fit on-ears. Thanks to their W1 chip they have lower latency with Apple devices. They use the older micro USB charging port but have a slightly longer battery life. However, you can't change their default sound profile, which is somewhat muddy.
