Berlin, Germany – November 2, 2022  – Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in stereo headphones and true wireless earbuds under $100, just announced its re-entry to the gaming category with a release of value-packed headsets for all skill levels. This launch of the brand new SLYR Pro and PLYR headsets marks the first gaming headset with Mimi Sound Personalization. Offering compatibility across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and mobile, the SLYR Pro and PLYR multi-platform gaming headsets deliver rich, detailed sound, crystal-clear communications and all-day comfort.

Skullcandy’s SLYR Pro & PLYR – the ideal lifestyle-to-livestream audio companions

PLYR — the collection’s flagship offering — is perfect for gamers who desire maximum flexibility to play both wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth. Like prescription glasses, but for your ears, the headset offers Skullcandy’s Enhanced Sound Perception (ESP) feature, powered by Mimi Sound Personalization technology, which requires users to take the innovative Mimi hearing test to tune audio drivers specifically to the user’s unique hearing. To deliver crystal clear communications, PLYR features Clear Voice Smart Mic™. Dual-connect capabilities enable users to connect via wired and wireless connection to stream audio from two separate devices, simultaneously.

For gamers seeking a premium wired-only gaming experience, SLYR Pro is the answer, offering must-have features like ESP and Clear Voice Smart Mic technology with detachable boom mic. SLYR Pro also sports a slightly redesigned headband for those who prefer a more classic, yet comfortable fit.

In typical Skullcandy style, each headset is also beautifully designed and set off with a unique digitized aesthetic, blending the nostalgia of gaming with a modern form factor.
