Affordable Voice-Controlled Headsets

Skullcandy Reintroduces its Crusher ANC with Skull-iQ

— May 16, 2023 — Tech
The 'Crusher ANC' has a new iteration from the audio brand Skullcandy. The new headphones include hands-free voice control that is enhanced by Skull-iQ technology, and users may adjust the features with Skull-iQ by speaking commands to change the music, adjust the volume, or enter Stay Aware (transparency mode). In addition, users can use the device to reach out to other voice assistants, such as Amazon Alexa.

An indexed thumbwheel that can be clicked may now be used to toggle the feature on or off in place of the previous version's slider control. Additionally, you may modify the level of bass amplification using your voice. The Skullcandy app for iOS and Android offers programmable controls and EQ settings for the headset.
