I bought these a few years ago.. definitely not for everyone.
I'll start off by saying I like headphones -- Sennheiser, Bose, Sony, Jabra, Tilde, Beats, skullcandy, steelseries, etc..
I use these primarily for music (phone) and VR.. they're not going to compete with most of the above. They're cheap, they're not the greatest sounding, and they're gimmicky. No noise cancellation, but they're comfortable. But for those times you just want lots of punch and bass? these are the ones.
They have a slider on the side to adjust the "intensity" of the bass, and it feels like subwoofers in the headphones are rattling your brain (if that sounds awful to you, these aren't for you). These are nice when you want to listen to some heavy bass hip hop, pop or are playing a game and want some extreme bass.
The slider is pretty aggressive, where about 5% up is about where you'd normally want bass.. so the fact it goes up to 100% is quite a lot of bass. The downside is that there isn't too much of a "Good level" of bass since each song is different.. I find myself adjusting the slider up and down from song to song. Not a bad thing, but just to make it a bit more "enjoyable"
The over-the-ears headphone style is a big plus for me, but I know some hate it. It does start to warm up after a bit.
These wouldn't be my go-to headphones.. but when I want a cheap pair to wear out while doing chores or something, I don't want to damage my sennheiser/sony/bose and these kind of distract you from what you're doing. No noise cancelling, but the bass will block out any outside noises better than any noise cancelling headphones I've used. Plus the brain rattling helps not focusing on doing chores
Having said that, I don't think I could listen for several hours. The sound profile gets fatiguing.

They're lightweight and have a good fit, so they won't be falling off if you lean forward to pick something up.
Music quality is iffy. It depends what you're coming from -- I normally wear headphones in the $300-600 range, so comparing it to a $65 pair of skullcandy isn't going to be the most favorable. It's comparable to probably $100 pairs of headphones you'd find at bestbuy, probably comparable to lower end Beats headphones or gaming headphones. The big selling point is really the bass slider.. "Crusher" is a good name, the headphones will feel as if they're pounding your head with bass.. but fortunately the amount is entirely adjustable by a slider. It's easy to slide up and down to adjust how much you want, from almost no bass at all to where your head will literally be shaking from the bass. I prefer it to the normal "Bass boost" button as you can adjust it.. and the peak of what you can get out of it is MUCH more than you'd ever get out of other headphones.
The downside there being that these feel like headphones designed for a 13 year old who doesn't know anything about music and thinks louder = better, more bass = more better
You can see it in this picture -- the black "circle" is a slider that can go anywhere from basically "no bass" to "all bass".. Around the 5% mark is where most headphones will be at. The 0% mark is comparable to the bass I get from earbuds, so it can get VERY bassy when cranked up even just a little bit

These are fun headphones with great battery life. No ANC or multi point connection.
If you like bass there isn't a better pair out there.
