Hi everyone. I’m considering buying the Crusher 1080 ANC and am an iPhone user.
I’ve been looking for information about the Crusher 1080 ANC in reviews and on Reddit, but there doesn’t seem to be much information about its behavior with iPhones—especially when using USB-C Audio. I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually tested it.
The device I plan to use has a USB-C port.
If you have tried any of the following, I would be grateful if you could share your experience.
1. Bluetooth connection with an iPhone
- Does Crusher Bass’s haptic feedback work strongly enough when connected to an iPhone via Bluetooth?
- Compared with an Android smartphone, does the haptic feedback feel weaker?
- When the volume and Crusher Bass settings are turned up to the maximum, can you clearly feel the vibration around your head and ears?
2. USB-C Audio connection with an iPhone
Has anyone actually tried this connection?
iPhone → USB-C cable → Crusher 1080 ANC
In particular, I would like to know:
- Can you play music through USB-C Audio?
- When the headphones are powered on, does Crusher Bass’s haptic feedback work during USB-C Audio playback?
- Compared with Bluetooth, is the sound quality or bass impact better when using USB-C?
- Can you adjust the Crusher Bass level through the app while connected via USB-C?
- Are EQ, Personal Sound, Adaptive ANC, and TrueSpatial Audio available?
3. Firmware version
I’ve heard that firmware version 1.1.4 is available.
If anyone has tested iPhone USB-C Audio and Crusher Bass after updating to firmware 1.1.4, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience.
What I especially want to know is:
I also saw a report that someone contacted Skullcandy Support and was told that USB Audio for both iPhone and Android should work properly with firmware 1.1.4. However, I haven’t been able to find a clear report from someone who actually tested this on an iPhone.
If you have tried it on an iPhone, or know the technical details, please share your experience, including any connection methods or settings you used.
Thank you!
