Bass-heavy users will get what they want, but even if you’re more neutral, you will find a good soundstage here. For a pair of headphones that are about $200-$250, the sound seems just about right. Perhaps a little thick in the mids, but the bass and treble punch through well. Sound quality is actually quite good, by default. It requires you go through a hearing test to help tailor it for how your ears hear, but after that, you can create your own dedicated preset.
The Skullcandy app has three preset modes for music, podcasts and movies, though you can also use an equalizer (EQ) to personalize it. You may feel differently, of course, but the fact it’s there is an interesting way to affect the sound profile without using an app.
In fact, it’s probably too powerful beyond a nudge of about a quarter of the way up. To say it has a marked impact would be an understatement. It controls how much bass response you can apply to whatever you’re listening to. That’s kind of how I would describe the physical Bass Sensory slider on the left ear cup. Imagine having a subwoofer attached to your ear that you could adjust or adapt based on the song or artist you’re listening to. If you like bass - and want plenty of control over it - these headphones take a unique stab at that. Starting with the Crusher Evo, which are Skullcandy’s latest over-ear pair, and after listening to them for a while, it becomes clearer who they’re meant for. I chose these three because they are among the newest available, and to see if they are good value for what you get. Peruse the company’s array of available headphones and you may not be sure which ones stand out. When you do run out of juice, the Venue has handy rapid charging, which gives you 5 hours of listening time with just 10 minutes on the charger.Skullcandy has headphones for most budgets, and these three models represent that spectrum in both performance and price. If you're low on juice or need to the headphones to last for a few days, you can theoretically stretch that time to 40 hours when using the included cable and ANC.
Skull candy headphones which is right and left Bluetooth#
There's “Monitor Mode,” which pauses your music and allows you to hear everything outside without taking off your headphones, but it's not quite the same.īattery life is rated at 24 hours with ANC and Bluetooth turned off and our tests showed that number was relatively accurate with 22 hours of battery life with both ANC and Bluetooth turned on. There’s also no adjustability for noise cancellation so you only turn it on and off. The headphones had no problem staying connected at our desk at work but would inevitably skip when walking.Īctive noise cancellation is average, helping to dull the outside noise but it’s not anywhere near as effective as class leaders like the Bose QC35II and the Sony WH-1000XM3. We experienced constant dropouts when walking around the city with our phone in our left pocket. While we were pleased with the balanced sound, we were disappointed by the wireless connection. The resolution leaves a lot to be desired and ANC also introduces a hiss to the sound, which is noticeable when listening to music at lower volumes or with songs with silent passages, but we’re not talking about an audiophile headphone here. We were expecting the Skullcandy Venue to be bass heavy but were pleasantly surprised by the relatively balanced sound - there’s still a slightly warm tilt to the tonal balance and bass still hits hard, but neither are overbearing.
