Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2
Score: 78/100
Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian are limited-edition over-ear headphones offering adaptive ANC, personalized spatial audio and up to 40 hours of battery life. Their premium sound and feature set are offset by a confusing control layout and limited codec support. Best suited for Apple ecosystem users who value immersive audio and long-lasting playback.
Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 combines powerful haptic bass, adjustable digital ANC and a long-lasting battery with rapid charging. The trade-off is a heavyweight design and occasional battery shortfalls. Ideal for bass-enthusiasts and commuters who want immersive sound and multi-device pairing.

Professional reviewers commend the Crusher ANC 2 for its visceral haptic bass, solid ANC that can be tuned with Stay-Aware mode, and impressive battery life with rapid charging. They also note the added value of the Skull-iQ Personal Sound feature, but criticize the heavier chassis, occasional shortfall in advertised battery endurance, and the reliance on a companion app for full functionality.
Everyday users rave about the powerful bass that can be felt, the comfort of the padded earcups, and the long battery life that lasts through a full day. Recurring complaints focus on the headphone's weight, inconsistent ANC in noisy or windy settings, and occasional app or Bluetooth connectivity glitches.

Professional reviewers commend the Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian for its long battery life, powerful adaptive ANC, and immersive spatial audio, while noting that the control scheme is unintuitive and the lack of ear-detection and Android-focused codecs limit its appeal to non-Apple users.
Consumers overwhelmingly praise the sound quality, noise cancelling, and tight integration with Apple devices, describing the listening experience as immersive and the headphones as comfortable for extended wear; complaints are limited to confusing controls and the absence of ear-detection.
