Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones offer strong sound quality with room to improve ANC. A collaboration with Bronx designer Jae Tips creates a limited edition pair aimed at 90s-inspired setups. The design uses translucent tech in nostalgic colors, including an emerald see-through shell and a color scheme drawn from Nintendo 64 controllers and Super Mario Bros packaging. Jae Tips adds a floral motif to the headphones while extending the theme to heavily Super Mario Bros-inspired custom packaging. The headphones keep adaptable ANC and Skullcandy’s signature rumbling bass, blending visual nostalgia with core audio performance.
"Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones are the brand's flagship pair of cans that have good sound quality and some scope for improvement in the ANC. So what could get overhauled in the headphones market to make them stand out in a highly competitive, punishing space that rewards great design?"
"For that reason, Bronx-based designer Jae Tips has collaborated with the American audio equipment giant to create a stunning pair of headphones that go well with your 90s-inspired gadgets. Jae is no stranger to the unhinged use of colorful design elements, and this exploration is a bliss for audio fans. For this collab, the theme is highly translucent tech in nostalgic colors for a retro-modern touch and feel."
"Yes, I'm talking about gaming, as this limited edition Crusher ANC 2 headphones adapts the color scheme of the classic Nintendo 64 controllers, and the Super Mario Bros packaging, and fuses it with Jae's floral motif design style to render a pair of cans. It's one thing to go translucent and completely another to fuse it into a form that evokes good old memories."
"That's what is special about the see-through emerald shell of the headphones. The ethos bleeds into the custom packaging as well, as the box is heavily inspired by the classic Super Mario Bros title. On the inside, the cans retain their technical superiority with adaptable ANC and Skullcandy's signature rumbling bass. According to Jae, for this collaboration, he was "inspired by gel and acrylic Nintendo's and the early Mac computers. My goal was to create something that I wasn't seeing anywhere else in the marketplace.""
