Frequency response notes
With the bass slider at its minimum the response is fairly flat, with a slight bump over the whole low end and a dip near 1.1 kHz. The bass slider raises the bass strongly.5Measurementsoundguys.com/skullcandy-crusher-evo-review-39657Read 20 October 2026Old SoundGuys test system (before the B&K 5128 fixture). Notes describe the response with the bass slider at minimum. Dip around 1100 Hz is from the review text.
The measured response has a bass emphasis compared with the SoundGuys preference curve. The review compares noise attenuation across frequencies and identifies strong low-frequency ANC. No graph peak is used as a band-average dB value.8Reviewsoundguys.com/sony-wh-1000xm4-review-38011Read 5 October 2026SoundGuys exact-model lab measurements. Firmware and codec not stated.
