How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want to revive a pair of Skullcandy headphones you already own with thicker, cooler, gel-topped cushions, choose BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads; if you need a complete wireless headphone with hybrid active noise cancelling, a microphone and a travel kit in the box, choose Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0.
• BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads — biggest strength: a cooling gel layer over thick memory foam, in a slip-on design that needs no tools and fits specific Skullcandy models.
• BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads — biggest trade-off: they are replacement cushions only — no drivers, no battery, no Bluetooth — and they fit only the listed Skullcandy headsets, nothing else.
• Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0 — biggest strength: a full wireless headphone with Hybrid ANC rated to cut noise by 95% (up to 35 dB) and up to 40 hours of battery life.
• Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0 — biggest trade-off: it is a closed system — the battery inside will eventually age, and there is no user-swappable pad upgrade path described.
• Who each is for: BRAINWAVZ for owners of compatible Skullcandy models who want comfort back; Logilink for anyone who needs a complete, noise-cancelling wireless headphone out of the box.
The BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads are a repair-and-upgrade part, and that is the whole point. They are built for a specific list of Skullcandy headsets: Crusher Wireless, Crusher ANC, Crusher EVO, Crusher 360, Hesh 3, Hesh ANC, Hesh EVO and Venue ANC. If your model is not on that list, stop here — Brainwavz states plainly that these will not fit any other brands or models, so measure your decision against your own headset first. The pair ships as a two-count set, and it carries a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
What they do best is comfort. The design stacks a thick layer of cooling gel on top of high-grade memory foam, wrapped in a breathable, silk-like fabric. The pads are deliberately thicker than the stock pads, which gives your ears more room inside the cup instead of pressing them flat against the driver grille. Anyone who has worn a stock Skullcandy for a long flight or a long gaming session knows that trapped heat and pressure build up fast; the gel layer is Brainwavz's answer to exactly that.
Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0: Who It's For
The Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0 (model BT0081) are a complete pair of over-ear wireless headphones. The headline feature is Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling, which combines feedforward ANC — a microphone on the outside listening to the world before it reaches you — with feedback ANC, a microphone inside the ear cup that measures what actually got through and corrects it. Logilink rates the result at a 95% noise reduction, up to 35 dB, and specifically calls out aircraft and train noise as the target. That two-microphone approach is the more thorough version of ANC, and it is the reason this set is interesting at its level of the market.
Battery is the second pillar. Logilink claims up to 40 hours of playback, with 30 hours when you run ANC and Bluetooth together, and 100 hours of standby. The cell is 600 mAh and charges in about 2.5 hours over USB-C. The drivers are 40 mm with 32 ohm impedance, Bluetooth range is up to 10 metres, and there is a built-in microphone for calls. The package is unusually complete: a USB-C charging cable, a 3.5 mm audio cable, an airplane adapter and a hard carrying case. The headphones fold, which matters if you actually travel with them. They run with Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Chrome OS, weigh 262 g, and ship in black.
Buy these if you want one device that handles commuting, flights and calls without you buying anything else. The airplane adapter and case in the box tell you who Logilink built this for. Skip them if you want a wired-only, permanently serviceable headphone, or if you are specifically trying to keep an existing pair alive — this is a new headphone, not a fix for an old one. Note the statutory warranty terms rather than a long manufacturer term, and remember the battery is sealed inside.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for reviving headphones you already own → BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads. They replace the part that wears out first, with no tools required.
• Best for long listening sessions → Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0. Up to 40 hours total, 30 hours with ANC and Bluetooth running together.
• Best for hot ears and pressure relief → BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads. Cooling gel over memory foam, and thicker pads that give your ears more room.
• Best for flying → Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0. Airplane adapter, 3.5 mm cable, folding design and a carrying case are all included.
• Best for calls → Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0. It has a built-in microphone; the earpads have no electronics at all.
• Best for a specific, low-effort upgrade → BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads. Check your model against the compatibility list first — that is the one hard gate.
• Best for a wired fallback option → Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0. The bundled 3.5 mm cable means you can keep listening if the battery runs down.
In my opinion, these two products barely compete — they solve different problems, and you probably already know which problem is yours. If you own a compatible Skullcandy and the pads are flat, crusty or uncomfortable, I would buy the BRAINWAVZ Hybrid Earpads: it is the cheaper-feeling fix in spirit, it takes minutes, and it targets the single part that degrades first. If you do not own a compatible headset, or you want active noise cancelling, a microphone and a travel case in one purchase, I would buy the Logilink Headphones Vers 6.0 instead. My honest tiebreaker: buy the Logilink if you need a headphone, buy the Brainwavz if you need to keep the one you have.
Only with the listed Skullcandy models: Crusher Wireless, Crusher ANC, Crusher EVO, Crusher 360, Hesh 3, Hesh ANC, Hesh EVO and Venue ANC. Brainwavz states they will not fit any other brand or model, so verify your exact model before ordering.
Yes. The box includes a 3.5 mm audio cable alongside the USB-C charging cable, so you can listen wired when you want to. Bluetooth range is listed at up to 10 metres.
The Logilink, clearly. Its Hybrid ANC uses a microphone outside and a microphone inside the cup, and Logilink rates the reduction at 95%, up to 35 dB, aimed at aircraft and train noise. The earpads only improve passive comfort and seal.
I do not quote prices here — check the current price on Amazon using the button on this page. On features alone, the Logilink delivers far more hardware, while the Brainwavz is a targeted fix for one worn part. Value depends entirely on whether you need a headphone or a repair.
