Clash of the Candy Titans: Skullcandy Hesh vs. Skullcrusher

By Barber Paul


If happen to be in the huge market some Skullcandy earphones or headphones, then it's reasonable and probably come across the Hesh and Skullcrusher lines. The Skullcandy Hesh and Skullcrusher are both over the head phones built to look and sound nice. While they're actually cousins from the same brand, they do have differences and those notable variations in features may help you in deciding which one suits you better.



The Likenesses

Of course, the similarities between the Skullcandy Hesh and Skullcrusher don't end with the same brand. Both have the same Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets in the power drivers, with a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, and impedance of 32 ohms. Both also have 3.5 mm gold plated plugs and 1.2 m cables. The Skullcandy Hesh and Skullcrusher headphones also have their headbands and earphones lined with the same soft leather padding for snug use. Though these are built to make your music listening as comfy as practicable your ears will get hot if you use them for lengthy periods.



Also, these Skullcandy lines come in a wide selection of designs and colours so you can definitely find something that suits your tastes. Except for the nice looks and decent sound quality, these 2 are also pretty cheap at under US$ 50, though the Skullcandy Hesh earphones are a little more cost-effective.



The Differences

Let's start with the Skull candy Hesh earphones. They feature 50 mm power drivers, in line volume control, and a maximum input power of 100 mW. The Hesh line is designed more with loud sound output delivery. The Skullcrusher, on the other hand, takes listening to music to a complete different level with mini-subwoofers powered by an AA battery. It features smaller 30 mm power drivers, an in line bass level adjuster, and can handle a maximum input power of 120 mW. It cancels unnecesssary noise very well, can be folded so any one can very easily keep it when not in use, and features a 6.3 mm plug adapter and an Airline adapter.



At the end, the final choice between the 2 depends on your preferences and wants. If you simply need a reasonable pair of earphones, then you can opt for the a touch less expensive Skullcandy Hesh. If you on the other hand are short of some serious bass though, then go for the Skullcrushers.
