What is it?
Cable-free headphones with the emphasis on bass and a relatively low price-tag.
Good points?
The oversized foam ear pads offer lashings of comfort and can be adjusted to suit the size and shape of your head. The pad dimensions give an even profile which should fit most users.
The ability to control the amount of bass is the product's main feature and doesn't disappoint. You can adjust the sound slider to cater for individual tastes, which adds an extra dimension to an otherwise humdrum section of the audio market.
The Crusher Wireless also comes with a 3.5mm sound jack and cable so you can still enjoy your tunes even after the battery has died on longer trips or if you forget to recharge.
Bad points?
The head unit and ear pads can feel bulky to wear with the weight more noticeable than others on the market.
Although the sound output quality is adequate, it lacks the punch and detail of more high-end devices. Forgetting to set the bass slider properly can result in Mozart sounding like a bad house band.
Best for ...
Those seeking an all-round, solid pair of wireless headphones without the need to succumb to inflated prices. The option of more hands-on control could appeal to those who like to tinker and experiment.
Avoid if ...
You place less importance on bass and sound customisation than overall sound quality. Spending a bit more can go a long way to finding musical bliss.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
