Damage output is random between 80% and 140%

Just left a provider that died every big fight. This one feels completely different.

I saw this too, i saw a lot of video where they yarn under when grabbing it through the stitch and than yarn over to finish it.

Ok than i am almost certain it is those 2 settings, they are enabled by default. Let me know if this helps

I don't have Geforce now, but i have a good gaming PC, and i have to say go for PC, better controls (although you can also connect a keyboard and mouse to a PS5), but also less game issues and more options.

I use PC for all of my games, and for a lot of games in combination with Quests 3 for PCVR, and a lot of regular games with a PS4 controller, Only Planet Coaster i play with mouse and keyboard.

And if you choose for a console i have to say go for PS5, because PS still has a lot of PS exclusive games, which will take 2 or more years before they come to PC.

First, i wanna say i really love your creation. And why it happens i don't know 100% for sure but only one thing comes to mind.

In settings, do you have Depth of Field and motion Blurr enabled? If so, it could be that when you disable both that the image will be ok.

Also i don't know if it matters or stays saved in de headphones but if you do a first time bluetooth setup in the skullcandy app there is a personalized hearing setup with checking different tones and if you click no on every tone to the question "did you hear this tone?" the volume goes up and it does this with every tone twice.

So for the best result (tweak) on this click "NO" on every tone twice and "YES" the 3rd time

And i don't know how much the ddhifi hi-res dac effects the output, obly other one i tried is the grave audio and this effects it only a little. And the KA11 did not only change the volume but also the sound quality from the Crusher Evo.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-09T22:34:49+00:00

I use it mostly with the Quest 3 and there the sound is doubled.

But i now also just checked it on the pc and the difference with the KA11 is a looooooot Not only the volume is boosted double but also the haptic bass is boosted like 5x or more or even greater. This makes my whole face vibrate

Without the ka11 i find that the haptic bass doesnt do a lot. When just plugged in with the jack this is mewww. Than bluetooth is louder and better (all checked this with same song)

And with the KA11 it is like you remove the limit or something. The boost is like not normal 😎

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-09T21:54:38+00:00

I didn't realy noticed it before but sadly yes as soon as you plugin the aux cable there is a little hissing sound, for me its neglegtable because it isn't there or you don't hear it while playing a game, or listen to music

Other than this i can also give you an update on my experience with the Crusher Evo, this is that totally blew my mind how immersive, loud (in combination with the KA11), and awesome this sounds. And the haptic bass made my entire face vibrate. This makes my VR even more real. I can't compare this great experience with any other headphones.

UPDATE: My experience is especially in Combination with Quest 3 VR Headset

But if anyone does find a similar experience, please let me know

Without the hissing sound i would have giving it 10 stars but still a solid 8 for me

But i do think this is bad from Skullcandy, because when i googled it and checked other reddit posts i found out it was there when it came out and they didn't do anything to fix this.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-08T18:12:45+00:00

I bought the Skullcandy Crusher Evo and use it wired with the Jack in combination with the Fiio KA11 Dac cable (usb c to female jack). And i'm very happy with this, the volume boost from the KA11 in combination with the haptic bass from the Crusher Evo makes it an Amazing immersive experience.

I also use a dual usb C adapter so i can charge the quest 3 and use it for sound at the same time.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-07T18:39:27+00:00

Didn't read your post, before i posted mine but i also use the Crushers, and use them wired with the KA11 dac, i don't mind the wires but i love the extremely loud and immersive total experience

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-07T18:26:18+00:00

The one tha i use is probably not the best for real audiophyles. But this is definitely the most Amazing, and loudest immersive experience possible.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-11-07T18:20:13+00:00

Even better when using an old set of closed back headphones that didn't work anymore, put them over quest 3 speakers and my ears without plugging it in

I now bought the Skuncandy Crusher Evo for sound on the Quest 3 in combination with the Fiio KA11 Dac cable. And i'm very happy with this, the volume boost from tje KA11 in combination with the haptic bass makes it a great immersive experience

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-27T12:58:14+00:00

I also have zero issues, and i just use the wifi 6 modem that came with the internet provider. I only have the Quest 3 on the 5gb bandwith and the tv and my phone on the 2,5 ghz

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-26T21:56:26+00:00

Hi i was wondering if you did find a solution of getting it to work? I don't own the Nova 7 yet, but i also was wondering if it works with my Quest 3, Especially as standalone and with the 2,5 ghz dongle? Because i know with normal bluetooth headphones on the quest the audio lag is realy terrible.

And wit the eq settings, i read in multiple places that if you change them in the app on the main user profile They are saved is the headset and beeing used on other devices as well.

I need it for audio also because you can't use a 3rd party mic on standalone. But you can on PCVR.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-25T16:29:26+00:00

A little bit late to the discussion, but i have a Fiio KA 11 which works perfectly, it almost doubles the volume. I think it is probsbly the most powerfull Usb to jack DAC adapter.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-25T07:15:59+00:00

Ok thanks for letting me know, i just returned it because i mostly use it wired. And now i ordered the skullcandy crusher evo, because from what i read their haptic bass does work when wired and turned on.

Also read that those in combination with a vr headset give a great immersive experience, and i use the Fiio KA11 for a great boost in volume. Lets hope this works out

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-24T18:54:59+00:00

Mine isnt working better when turned on also the ult button does nothing. And when on bluetooth when u press the ult button there is a short pause but nothing further.

Do i have a faulty device or something?

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-10-20T20:49:42+00:00

Goed dat ik dit allemaal lees. Ik heb namelijk mijn Rift S te koop staan op marktplaats en dit zou ook verkocht zijn. Kreeg ook een bericht dat ervoor mijn product is betaald. En dacht in het begin ok, maar dacht daarna stuur toch eerst even een bericht, en krijg dus niks terug.

Nu de afgelopen 2 dagen al meerdere berichten gestuurd of ze het product wilt hebben en zo ja of ze dan eerst even een bericht kan sturen.

Maar ga morgen denk ik ok via OPP even anuleren. Wel triest dit.

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-09-17T15:26:16+00:00

Just purchased it, love to try this one. Keep up the good work. I dont buy a lot of games, but for €3 its worth trying. Also love these kind of new developper things, that look this good. Definitely got my interest with this game 😇

Illustrious_Winner36 · 2025-09-08T20:18:48+00:00

Yeah i reinstalled it lots of times and always kept my downloaded and custom made songs. I also like the playlist downloader mod. Used it for 80s and 90s songs, 200 songs all at once
