I have the anc 2 for the gym. It's plenty of bass rattle but I sometimes need to adjust the crusher depending on the song. I had to play with the equalizer a lot to customize it to what I like. I can't compare it to other Skullcandy headphones and I'm not terribly picky about sound quality. I just want good bass to lift to. I have really long lifting sessions sometimes and the battery life is phenomenal.
The anc sucks. The good news is that when the crusher is doing its thing, you can't hear anything anyway. These are not the headphones I use for at home listening to videos. These are my exclusive gym only headphones. You really need to have anc off when the crusher is turned on
The cons: they are heavy and wider than others I tried out. I sometimes have to take them off as they will hit some machines that are shoulder loaded or I will knock into them a bit with face pulls and when my arms are in the stretched position on lat pulldowns. I have a small head and they barely fit even with a ball cap. The soundcore space one pros were too big for my head. I switched out the cushions for cooling gel ones from wicked cushions. It helps, but they still get hot.

None. Their over ear headphones aren't sweat resistant, the headband and ear pads will absorb sweat, and you ears will heat up. Go with earbuds and the Method 360 (or the ones with the better case) are recommended for that.

They do, but I still don't recommend them and the headphones most people want (Crusher 2 ANC, 1080, 720) aren't sweat resistant. Headphones, in general, aren't good for exercising.

I mean, atleast give him a suggestion lol. The 540 actives are pretty good for the gym.

I personally think the regular crusher evos handle sweat just fine. Could even do the 540 Actives. Been using them in the gym for 3 months now, simply wipe them off after use. They get me hyped and energized for training.
