Audio technology company Skullcandy has announced the release of the Crusher 1080 ANC over-ear headphones, combining sensory bass technology with Sound by Bose active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and Bluetooth LE Audio with Auracast....
No actionable clinical change — this is a consumer headphone launch; however, audiologists should note the product includes Auracast (Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast), which is the same assistive-listening infrastructure increasingly relevant to hearing loop and public venue access discussions.
The inclusion of Auracast in a mainstream consumer headphone signals growing market momentum for Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast technology, which underpins next-generation assistive listening systems relevant to audiology practice and hearing accessibility.
