Skullcandy announced a new version of its Crusher wireless headphones today featuring a few of Bose\u2019s audio technologies<\/a> including its QuietControl ANC and head-tracking spatial audio. The Crusher headphone line differentiates itself from the competition through the use of both full-range and dedicated bass drivers in each ear cup to boost deeper frequencies. Skullcandy admits that approach can result in a loss of audio quality when the bass is heavily boosted, but its new Crusher 1080 ANC<\/a> are meant to address and improve that with Bose\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

Available starting today for $279.99 in black, candy, primer, and cement color options, the new Crusher 1080 ANC feature redesigned drivers with a stiffer diaphragm material resulting in enhanced clarity and detail with less distortion at higher volume. As with previous models in the Crusher line, the bass boosting is entirely adjustable using Skullcandy\u2019s mobile app or the on-headphone controls that now include a more prominent dial on the outside.<\/p>\n

The Crusher 1080 ANC will be the first non-Bose headphones to feature that company\u2019s TrueSpatial audio technology with head tracking that works whether you\u2019re stationary or out for a run and its WaveForm audio engine that \u201ckeeps audio full, balanced, and smooth.\u201d Skullcandy\u2019s latest will also offer industry-leading noise cancellation with Bose\u2019s six microphone QuietControl ANC tech that adapts as sounds around you get louder or quieter. The Crusher 1080ANC even features Bose\u2019s SpeechClarity that reduces noise so your voice comes through clearly during a call, but they\u2019re not the first third-party headphones to offer it.<\/p>\n

Battery life is estimated to be up to 60 hours with ANC turned off, or 50 hours with it on, while a 10-minute rapid charge will keep the Crusher 1080 ANC going for up to four hours if they die. There\u2019s multipoint pairing for connecting and switching between multiple devices, auto reconnect and wear detection that pauses music when you take the headphones off, and a design that folds flat for easier storage. The Crusher 1080 ANC supports Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, low latency audio, and Auracast<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skullcandy announced a new version of its Crusher wireless headphones today featuring a few of Bose\u2019s audio technologies…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":802940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,1590,63,213,11134,44,1996,105],"class_list":["post-802939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-audio","tag-australia","tag-gadgets","tag-headphones","tag-news","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
