Active noise-canceling headphones are a godsend. They block out ambient noise and produce truly great sound. That’s why we’re excited about Skullcandy‘s Crusher 1080 ANC, its latest headphone in the Crusher lineup. For the first time, the Crusher 1080 ANC combines Skullcandy’s sensory bass with Bose Sound technology. The Skullcandy Crusher 1080 ANC headphones build on the Crusher series by combining Skullcandy’s sensory bass with Bose Sound technology.
Skullcandy’s Crusher headphones use a dual-driver system to create a subwoofer-like effect, letting listeners feel the bass as well as hear it. This sensory bass approach helped set the Crusher line apart in the consumer audio market.
The Crusher 1080 ANC headphones feature a new driver design aimed at improving clarity, detail, and sound separation, with a stronger bass response. The addition of Bose Sound technology brings noise cancellation and spatial audio to the Crusher platform.
The Crusher 1080 ANC uses Skullcandy’s adjustable Crusher bass technology. Users can set their preferred bass level using the on-board wheel or the Skullcandy app, from a light low-end to a stronger sensory effect.

The Crusher 1080 ANC is the first headphone to include the full range of Sound by Bose audio technologies: Bose Quiet Control 6-mic adaptive Acoustic Noise Cancellation, Bose TrueSpatial with head tracking, and Bose WaveForm Audio Engine.
Bose TrueSpatial technology works with Crusher bass to create a wider soundstage. QuietControl adaptive noise canceling uses multiple microphones and adaptive processing to reduce background noise. The WaveForm Audio Engine aims to keep audio balanced at any volume.
