The new collection of limited-edition products that arrived earlier today is the result of Skullcandy's collaboration with sunglasses brand Pit Viper and includes the popular Grind, Push Active, and Dime TWS earbuds with a new design. The first 100 purchases will come with a pair of Pit Viper sunglasses.

Skullcandy, the world's leading brand in the sub-US$100 stereo headphones and TWS earbuds market sector (according to NPD Group's US Weekly Retail Tracking Service), has teamed up with popular online sunglasses brand Pit Viper. The result of this collaboration is a limited-edition collection that consists of Grind, Push Active, and Dime TWS earbuds that were redesigned according to Pit Viper's "iconic, outrageously retro style" and also offer a special treat to some customers (more about this, in the last paragraph).

Without further ado, these are the highlights of the aforementioned audio accessories by Skullcandy: 

  • Pit Viper Grind: Skull-iQ smart feature tech, hands-free voice control, Tile finding tech, up to 40 hours battery life, wireless charging, IP55 sweat and water-resistant

The Skullcandy app, available for both Android and iOS, can be used to update and control the first two earbuds mentioned above, which are priced at US$89.99. The rather basic and affordable Dime earbuds carry a price tag of US$34.99.

The entire collection is available exclusively on Skullcandy.com, and the first 100 Pit Viper Push Active purchases will come with a pair of Pit Viper sunglasses.
