Our Verdict

Skullcandy Crusher Wireless 2016

Skullcandy Crusher 360 Wireless

The Skullcandy Crusher 360 Wireless are slightly better headphones than the Skullcandy Crusher Wireless 2016. Both models have a similar build, but the padding of the Crusher 360 is more comfortable. Their sound is also more accurate, and their haptic bass feedback isn’t as ridiculously intense as the Crusher Wireless. The 360 model also support the aptX codec for overall better performance and have a more unique style. The Crusher Wireless perform better across different users and have power-saving features, but this won't compensate for the better overall performance of the Crusher 360.
