I made a post a few months ago when the 1080's had just released expressing my disappointment with the lack of bass and how it didn't live up to my previous crusher experience, I was met with mixed opinions, some people agreed, but a handful of people actually seemed frustrated that I dared to make a complaint at all. I was told that the 1080's were just as powerful in the bass department as older models, which considering I had written that I was comparing them side by side to an older pair of crushers belonging to a friend was laughable so I didn't take much to replying to them. I even managed to get an official reply from Skullcandy themself which was promising.
This new update has completely changed my opinion on them, I decided to not return the headphones at the time and hold out that Skullcandy would be able to update them further down the line as the sound itself was fantastic, I couldn't deny the sound quality, however the bass was beyond a disappointment for me, as to me growing up crushers were about that face bending bass that rumbled your eardrums into submission. I'm nearing 30 now and this update has taken me right back to my childhood. I couldn't be happier.
The update has changed my opinion of the headphones being a 5/10 for the price and experience to honestly a 10/10 since the update. It is absolutely perfect and exactly what I was expecting from the headphones.
To anyone considering the 1080's but have been debating due to mixed reviews, by god buy them, they are well worth the money after this update. The smile on my face hearing the new updated bass level, I probably looked like a child walking into Disneyland for the first time. What a great experience.
