Skullcandy SLYR PRO and PLYR gaming headsets launch with Enhanced Sound Perception and up to 24-hour batteries

Skullcandy's headphones are most often pitched at music lovers; however, with their wild "Digi-Hype" colorways, detachable boom mics and easy-access "on-board" physical controls, its latest accessories are clearly aimed at gamers. Accordingly, all 3 new headsets are equipped with "head-conforming, memory-foam ear cushions" and "moisture wicking, breathable" exteriors.

The new SLYR is the cheapest of Skullcandy's new foray into gaming hardware. It is as cross-platform as its more premium sibling, and features its OEM's "Supreme Sound" technology. Its PRO sibling improves on these specs with a mic that is enhanced with Skullcandy's AI-powered Clear Voice Smart Mic tech rather than merely bidirectional.

It also features a "Skull-HQ" UI (for PC only) as well as Enhanced Sound Perception, which, according to the OEM, can specifically tailor the headset to each user's "unique hearing needs".

The Skullcandy PLYR also boasts all these features, as well as the same integrated Tile function for improved loss-prevention and estimated battery life (which the SLYR PRO apparently needs to deliver all its proprietary features). However, it is the only wireless headset of the OEM's new gaming line-up, with Bluetooth 5.2 for this purpose.

It is priced at US$129.99, whereas the SLYR PRO is set at US$99.99 and the base-model SLYR at $40 less than that. Skullcandy's new gaming headsets are available through channels such as Amazon from now.
