FTG Writes: Skullcandy has been a company best known for their unique and stylish earbuds. As they have expanded from earbuds to full headsets and even to a clothing line, Skullcandy has maintained their signature look and style. One such product line expansion has been into the gaming headset scene. The current entry-level offering, their SLYR Gaming Headset packs plenty of high-end features. But is their first entry into the market worthy of being your next gaming headset?
Most of us know Skullcandy as a purveyor of headphones for musical consumption, but what you might not have realized is that they produce gaming headsets too–and fine ones at that.
The Skullcandy SLYR +GMX-1 (say that 10 times fast) is a headset designed specifically for the Xbox One, giving players access to game audio as well as chat–delivering that one-two combo which is crucial for those looking to elevate their gaming experience. Albeit the real kicker is that it’s all done wirelessly through the controller, no middling components or pesky wires to be found here.
Gametista:
The folks at Skullcandy didn’t have much to show off this year at E3 in the way of new hardware aside from a few new coats of paint for the extremely popular Astro A40 line. What they were talking about however were their new licensing deals with Ubisoft for Assassin’s Creed and EA for Battlefield 4 branded headsets. Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will adorn the Skullcandy SLYR while the Battlefield 4 headsets will be available in both Astro A40 and A50 varieties. Speaker tag packs may be sold separately, with a few being included with each headset.
TGH writes "Skullcandy, a favorite headset maker of the cost-yet-quality conscious audio consumer, has announced a new line of gaming headsets. The headsets are meant to be multiplatform whenever possible (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, tablets, etc)."
These headsets look affordable and stylish so I hope they are good quality like their other headsets.
