Placed my order on 10th July

Placed my order on 10th July, charged two weeks later, and as of 24th July, still no shipment. Contacted support multiple times — completely useless copy-paste replies. Even went to Klarna and my bank. This delay has genuinely stressed me out to the point I said things I haven’t in years. Never expected this from a brand like Skullcandy.

Getting a refund

I had headphones that were around about the end of their warranty so was worried I wouldn’t be able to return them once they started having technical issues however i was in contact with Jensen from skull candy and i was given a full refund extremely quickly with no issues at all.

Excellent service & product does exactly what I need.

They have always been helpful with responses and helped me resolve issue I had.
I now have Crusher ANC2 which are great for base, 360anc for work calls.
And just because I have now added the Aviator 900.
I have went through many brands, and for the price point they are better than all the large brand names I’ve owned previously.

Shocking service

Shocking service. Bought a pair of rail earbuds in March and they won’t power up, hold charge or connect. Despite repeated emails all we get back is a generic email from them.

Hi Mark, we're truly sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had with your Rail earbuds and the difficulty reaching our support team. That’s absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how disappointing this must be.

Please know this is not typical, and we’d really like the opportunity to make it right. If you haven’t already, please try reaching out again through our Contact Page and include “Trustpilot Review Follow-Up” in the subject line so we can prioritize your message. We’ll do our best to resolve the issue as quickly and fairly as possible.

Thank you for your patience. We hope to restore your confidence in us.

Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 Review. (Updated after a few weeks of use)

I have received my Crusher ANC 2 from Skullcandy and They are the best headphones for bass, and sound quality I have ever experienced.

If you want the feeling of a subwoofer box hooked up to the back of a car on a set of headphones that go on your ears, then without a doubt... these are what your after.

They sound brilliant and crisp with a personalised sound experience, and are also perfect for those who aren't a fan of huge bass since you can dial the crusher to your own preference, or turn it off entirely, which makes them still perfect for you.

They are fairly comfortable although they do weigh a little more than
standard headphones, but they have a fairly decent yet comfortable clamping strength when they're on your head.

They have stiff yet comfortable earcups and 40mm drivers. And best of all two additional Haptic Motors for the massive sensory-bass which gives them thier deserved title.

Really the only complaint I have after two weeks of testing is the Multipoint pairing, Unlike a previous headphone brand I've used and thier "Multipoint pairing" if I got a notification on for example my phone, they won't pause and disrupt what I am listening too on my other device, and keep playing. But with my Crushers. If I get a notification and theres something playing on my other device, it will abruptly pause and the notification sound from my phone will play through the headset and stop everything.

I can see what Skullcandy were trying to do, and allow you to not miss notifications, but I wish there was an option to toggle that.

But apart from the tiny problem being that, they're perfect.

Wow, thank you for the incredible review! We’re absolutely pumped to hear how much you’re enjoying the Crusher ANC 2. That subwoofer-in-a-headset vibe is exactly what our Sensory Bass was made for, and we’re glad it delivered the experience you were after! It’s also great to know the personalized sound and comfort are hitting the mark for you. Thanks again for being part of the Skullcandy crew. We appreciate you!

Sesh ANC active

Quick response and communication
Bought some Dime Evo and they were great at 1st. ANC worked great but then they stopped charging. 5 weeks old!
CC was great though.
I upgraded to Sesh ANC active and the sound and fit is much better BUT the ANC in pretty much none existent. Also when making a call it has a lot of background hissing even in a room with no noise.
Quite frustrating really as I have ANC over ear headphones from them and can't be happier with them

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad to hear our Customer Care team was quick to help you out. That’s what we aim for. It’s a bummer to hear about the charging issue with your Dime Evo and the frustration with the Sesh ANC’s call quality and noise cancellation. We appreciate your honest feedback. It helps us get better. Sounds like you’ve had a solid experience with our over-ear ANC headphones, and we hope we can bring that same level of satisfaction across all products. Thanks for sticking with us!

Nothing compares to Skullcandy

All those over hyped over priced "you must buy these" as per influencers online etc and yet these are WAAAAAYYY better and superior!! A not so well known Skullcandy, that I swear by their products, have x2 Crusher Evo over ear headphones witth Sensory Base and these are just destroyers of world!!! Especially whilst watching your homme cinema 100" screen, with these on watching TGMav omfg!!!!! Then there is the Skullcandy Kilo which is like having a handheld portable version of the Crusher Evos even hung up inside my back pack closed, it is that loud my mates couldnt believe that was coming from this speaker!!!! That good. Once you go Skullcandy, you wont ever go back and alll those spending hundreds sometimes thousands on audio stuff JUST BECAUSE the influencers say so and you suffer with "FOMO", just check in with yourself and say "Nah I am going to do the opposite of what the sheep are doing", you will thank me later. You are welcome. Highly recomended especiallly the products I have just mentioned, but do not take my word for it go check em out in store somewhere just make sure you have SENSORY BASE up full whack!!!!! Enjoy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks so much for the passionate review this was a blast to read! It’s awesome to hear how much you’re enjoying the Crusher Evos and Kilo speaker, and we love your enthusiasm for doing your own thing instead of following the hype.

You nailed what we aim for with our gear: bold sound, real bass, and no need to break the bank. Watching Top Gun: Maverick on a 100" screen with Sensory Bass cranked? That’s a full-send setup. We’re kind of jealous, to be honest.

Appreciate the support and the shout-out to keeping things loud, proud, and original. Keep doing it your way. 👊🎧🔥

Honest review

Honest review - Never buy from there again. I ordered the skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 headphones, and when I got them, yes the bass was good but the noise cancelling was terrible, it barely blocked out any sound. Furthermore there was a crackling sound in the left earcup, so I sent them back ( I had to pay returns delivery) and got a 100% discount code to order a new pair, and when they came they had the same issue- crackling in the left earcup. Please avoid this and stick to the normal Crushers or right off avoid Skull Candy, there are much better headphones on the market

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your honest experience it's clear this was frustrating, and we're really sorry to hear you ran into the same issue twice. That’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have with our products.

The crackling in the left earcup isn’t normal, and it’s disappointing to hear it persisted even with a replacement. We appreciate you giving the Crusher ANC 2 a shot, especially since you're already familiar with the Crusher lineup. While ANC can be subjective depending on environment and fit, we take feedback like yours seriously and are constantly working on improving both performance and consistency.

We understand your decision and genuinely appreciate your patience throughout the return process. If you ever change your mind down the road, our support team would be happy to help you find something that better suits your needs. Either way, thanks again for giving us a try.

5 stars to Benedict in customer…

5 stars to Benedict in customer services for helping me organise the return of my headphones and issue of £120 credit. Overall, one star dropped as the availability of equivalent noise cancelling headphones (at similar budget) were out of stock on the UK website, so I opted for a more expensive pair at £200, i.e. made up the difference of £80.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We’re really glad to hear Benedict took great care of you and helped get things sorted with your return and credit. He’ll be thrilled to hear the shoutout.

Totally get the frustration around stock availability. We’re working on keeping more options consistently in stock, especially for our UK customers. We appreciate you choosing to stick with us and hope the upgrade proves worth the extra spend. If you ever need anything else, our team’s always here to help!

Awful, awful, read the reviews before buying from Skull Candy

My husband pre-ordered headphones in April, still not recieved, same experience as many others who have reviewed here on Trustpilot. Emailed to chase delivery, ZERO COMMUNICATION from Skull Candy. He purchased elsewhere and contacted his bank to raise a dispute then recieves a despatch email with a deadline for returns dated 3 days ago!
Still not recieved.

We're really sorry to hear what a mess this experience has been. We completely understand how frustrating it is to be left waiting, with no communication, and then receive a dispatch email after the return deadline. That's not how things should go. It sounds like we dropped the ball here, especially with the timing of your return window and the lack of updates. We know you've already taken steps with your bank, but if there's anything still unresolved, we want to do what we can to help. Please reach out to us at contact.skullcandy.com with your order number so we can review it properly and get this sorted. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Even when it's not a good one, it helps us do better.

We totally get your frustration, and you're right if something's out of stock, we should just be upfront about it. There's no excuse for giving the impression an item is available when it's not, and we’re sorry for the confusion and the letdown. We really appreciate your past support, which makes it even more disappointing to hear we've lost your trust. We're actively working on making sure our inventory updates and communication are clearer moving forward. If there’s anything still unresolved with your order, please don’t hesitate to reach out through contact.skullcandy.com, and we’ll make it right.

Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs. I ordered the method 360 buts back in April. They took payment but didn't dispatch them. I contacted customer service who told me to wait longer. I did. So I contacted them again when I still didn't receive them, only to be told they'd cancelled my order and I'd have to order them again but I'm still yet to receive my refund and the earbuds are now out of stock everywhere anyway. It takes them days to get back to you and when I reached out on social media they hid my comments apart form one coment they left saying they would inbox me but they never did. I never leave reviews so they must be pretty terrible if you're reading this

We’re really sorry you’ve had such a rough experience. This definitely isn’t how we want anyone to feel after ordering from us. Waiting weeks with no product, poor communication, and then a cancelled order without a refund? That’s understandably frustrating, and we’re sorry you were put in that position. Your feedback about social media and delayed responses is also not okay. We’re taking a closer look at what went wrong here. If you’re still waiting on your refund, please reach out again via contact.skullcandy.com with your order number so we can make sure this is escalated and resolved as soon as possible. Thanks for speaking up even if it wasn’t a great experience, it helps us understand where we need to do better.

Skullcandy should be wound down in the UK.

Skullcandy should have their ability to sell in the UK removed. They are absolutely awful.

I ordered the new Method 360s 9 days ago. They have taken payment, and the order hasn't updated one bit.

I have emailed 4 times, and they tell you bare faced lies. They say they can't cancel and refund, they can. I literally work on the platform that they use, so I have sent them instructions on how you cancel orders.

Then they say that orders haven't been sent and so therefore no money is taken. Another lie.I have spoken with my bank and they confirm the money has gone to an account in Zurich, I have the TRef number for it, I can even get the IBAN that received the funds, but the Skullcandy reps go on about how no money is taken etc etc - all lies.

Then the store is a UK based store, but they haven't even set it up for UK customers, the help sections are all guiding to US help, the formatting is in USA formats, you can't speak to a human to get help.

I have started a chargeback, compounding interest on money of mine they have, and I have emailed OFT as the practice of taking a customers funds, lying about it, and not processing an order isn't considered fair trading.

EDIT. Skullcandy replied here asking me to use the same channels I have used already to contact them which further shows how they handle such things, the same channels being those that are no use to us in the UK. Chat is currently closed as they are US based help.

I have spoken with Citizens Advice and they have raised this with trading standards. Whilst on the phone, the CA advisor was reading reviews on here and she noted how folk had stated that the orders were being dispatched AFTER the return date for customers had elapsed.

I showed them the chats with me where they lied about payments being taken, and they say that if a payment had indeed NOT been taken, they cannot refuse to cancel an order.

I have already started a chargeback with my card issuer and have allowed Citizens Advice to liase with TS.

I never want to deal with Skullcandy again. Ever.

UPDATE 15th July 2025.

Delivery was refused as per Skullcandy advise to start the returns process. That was 13th May 2025, it was accepted by Luke at the mailroom in the returns address,

They still haven't started a refund process. My credit card company approved the chargeback and trading standards have opened a case/investigation.

I still get emails from Skullcandy asking me to review the headphones that I never received, because they haven't started a returns process - some 2 months later.

Take payment but don't ship (or communicate)

Order placed on 23rd April. Payment taken immediately but no communication and product showing as not even shipped 12 days later. Cannot speak to an advisor as chat only and that never appears to be online. Raised a 'case file' and nothing.... A very frustrating experience!

Update 07 May - multiple responses from Skullcandy (and empty promises that the item will be shipped). Communication is shocking appears that the only reason I have any response at all is because I reviewed in Trustpilot - you cannot directly contact Skullcandy to actually speak to a human being. Nope!

Exceptional Customer Service and Thoughtful Gestures – Skullcandy Sets the Standard!


I rarely write reviews, but Skullcandy truly deserves the recognition. After experiencing a minor issue with my headphones, I reached out to their customer service team—and honestly, I was blown away. Their response was not only incredibly fast, but also handled with real care and professionalism.

What really stood out was the gesture of goodwill they included, which felt genuine rather than just ticking a box. You can tell they actually value their customers and want to make things right—not just fix problems, but go above and beyond.

The whole process was smooth, respectful, and impressively quick. In a world where customer service often feels like an afterthought, Skullcandy reminded me what great support should look like.

Highly recommend not just for the quality of their products, but for the way they treat their community. Massive respect.
