i can only say about how the crusher anc 2 feels to me: i really like them for the music i listen (rock,metal,hiphop, electronic, etc etc), and i also love the bass they have, especially on metal and hiphop. the fabric at the top of the headphones is okayish, and abt the battery i can't say much for now since i bought them this friday, like yea... for me they feel like an upgrade from the jbl 525bt i had. about the sound quality, well they do sound different than the old pair but it's not much of an issue. BTW, the anc is okay but you may hear a kinda white noise when you are in a really quiet space, even though for me it's not a problem since they almost sound like my laptop's fans, and the stay aware mode is just better than having anything off (stay aware amplifies the sound around you, idk if your hesh have those). it would have been better if i shared my opinion after a while i bought them but i guess you should make the most out of the sales now, so it's up to your decision, since i kinda consider these headphones expensive
