Review on Skullcandy Crusher Evo Wireless Over-Ear Headphone - Light Grey/Blue by Joshua Albright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Must have for bass lovers but hissing noise when plugging in and turning on for Black Evos

I love the product. I have ordered another one. Must have for bass lovers. *Updated September 25, 2020* Background and testing So I bought 2 Evos (black and grey) and found that both make a hissing noise when I plug them in. The hiss goes away if I turn off the headphones while they're still plugged in, but this would mean I'd lose bass touch functionality. At volumes from 1 to 10, I hear a crisp hiss on my black evo at level 4, while my gray evo produces a hiss at or below level 1 (so still tolerable). I tested this with 6 different audio cables (including the 2 cables that come with the box) and the result was the same for all cables and different devices. I saw a review from another customer from Germany who had the same problem in customer reviews, so I'm not sure if the error only occurs on some devices or on all. I have contacted Revain CS and am currently negotiating directly with Skullcandy to resolve the issue. I love headphones but the hiss when plugged in on mute drives me crazy. 1 exchange. A CS specialist checked this issue and found that his black demo kit had the same problem. I asked for an exchange for a gray one as my other gray Evo was fine. It turned out to work fine. I think there might be a quality control issue with the first batch of black Evos that some customers experienced with a hissing noise when plugged in. I still love headphones more because there is no more hiss :)

Pros
  • Crusher Adjustable Sensory Bass
