Our Verdict

Skullcandy Venue Wireless

Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless

The Skullcandy Venue Wireless and the Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless are very similarly performing headphones, so you may prefer one over the other. The Crusher Evo come with a haptic bass slider, and they're better built. They have a longer battery life and a companion app with EQ presets. Also, their bass-heavy sound profile is a bit more neutral than the Venue's V-shaped sound profile. However, the Venue have a better case, are more stable, and isolate against more sounds.
