Bose Licenses Its ANC Stack to Skullcandy's $270 Crusher 1080, Only the Second Product in the Bose Sound Program

Skullcandy's Crusher 1080 headphones, reviewed by Engadget on July 16, 2026, are the second product in the Bose Sound program — which licenses Bose's QuietControl ANC, TrueSpatial directional audio, and WaveForm tuning to partner brands at lower price tiers. The $270 headphones follow Skullcandy's Method 360 ANC earbuds. Bose has historically kept its proprietary ANC exclusive to its own hardware.
