The Skullcandy Crusher Evo is easy to use, but there are a few issues that make this headset a little more inconvenient than other options: the outside of the Skullcandy Crusher Evo is made of soft-touch plastic and is sturdy enough to be put in the bottom of a backpack once or twice. The non-plastic part of the headset is made of a soft-touch plastic. The only non-plastic part of the headset is the headband, which is a combination of soft rubber and felt material. The ear cups rotate 180 degrees, making them convenient for hanging around the neck or storing when the headphones are not in use. The padding on the ear cups, while comfortable at first, is a bit too stiff for me and over time I found them to be uncomfortable (especially since my ears are large and they do not fit comfortably in my ear canals). They do not fit comfortably in my ear canals, especially since my ears are large. Also, when I wear these headphones, I feel like I am wearing a helmet because the ear cups are huge. These are not slim headphones. The Skullcandy Crusher Evo is good enough for commuting and traveling. They are comfortable, and their 34+ hours of continuous battery life makes them suitable for extended use on the go. However, its inability to block out the noise of bus and airplane engines and passenger chatter can be annoying. Also, its bulky design makes it not easy to carry around. The Skullcandy Crusher Evo is ideal for office use. It is comfortable to wear and offers more than 34 hours of continuous operation, which is more than enough for use at work. However, it struggles to block out background noise commonly found in offices, such as chatter from nearby coworkers. Also, the sound leaks a bit, which can be distracting to coworkers in quiet office environments.
