Skullcandy sells cheap, colourful earbuds and headphones and is best known for the bass-boosting Crusher. Its 2025 Method 360 ANC, tuned with Bose, was a step up that reviewers liked. Most of the range is fine for the money but not class-leading.

Good at

  • Crusher's haptic bass is unique
  • Method 360 ANC earbuds tuned with Bose
  • Sporty, colourful designs
