Crushers have their purpose, its a basshead paradise and nothing else. Ive had deep rooted earwax get pushed out after an hour of max bass listening on my pair. I think theyre great, as long as sound quality isnt your first priority. Also most of (id say 90%) of friends who arent experienced in the audiophile space love the crushers the most out of my small collection. The faces they make after listening to a song like massive attack by angel never let me down. Its something else
