Skullcandy Launches Crusher 540 Active, Its First Over-Ear Headphone to Combine Mind-Bending Bass and Active Lifestyle Performance
The Latest Edition to Skullcandy’s Crusher Line of Headphones, Built for the Sweat Set
PARK CITY, UT (May 13, 2025) - Skullcandy, the original lifestyle audio brand, unveils Crusher 540 Active ($199.99), the first in its iconic Crusher line of headphones to be purpose-built for the gym.
Designed to help users find their zone and stay in it, this new model features Skullcandy’s patented Crusher bass technology, offering a multi-sensory bass experience that makes every beat hit deeper and every rep feel more powerful. Sweat and water resistant with a specialized nano coating, the Crusher 540 Active is designed to help people stay in the zone no matter where their workout is.
“Fans have been asking for Crusher’s signature bass in a purpose-built gym-ready headphone for years,” said Justin Reagan, VP of Marketing at Skullcandy. “Music is a motivator, and we created the Crusher 540 Active to be the perfect partner in the gym or during an outdoor workout when you want to tune out the rest of the world.”
Built for endurance, Crusher 540 Active packs up to 40 hours of battery life, and when time is tight, a 10-minute Rapid Charge delivers 4 hours of playtime.
With breathable fabric ear cushions, sweat-resistant nano-coating, and a secure fit headband designed to stay put, Crusher 540 Active is built to power through even your toughest workouts.
Alongside new active-ready updates, Crusher 540 Active retains the signature features fans love—like a fold-flat design for easy portability and an adjustable bass slider for personalized sound.
Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active is now available globally at Skullcandy.com and select retail locations.
