Skullcandy released three models of multi-platform gaming headsets namely the SLYR, SLYR Pro, and PLYR gaming headsets. The SLYR models will come in three different colors such as the Black DigiHype, Green Digi Hype, and Blue DigiHype. The first one will be the SLYR, which is the entry-level model among the three. The brand says it's made of lightweight materials and equipped with memory foam so users can enjoy a comfortable gaming time.
It's got 50mm drivers with Skullcandy
Supreme Sound tech, and a bi-directional detachable boom microphone. It also
has onboard controls for mute and volume keys and connects using a 3.5mm audio
jack or USB-C to USB-A and Bluetooth 5.2 if you prefer wirelessly. Next will be
the SLYR Pro, it has a lot of similarities with the standard version except
that it will come with added features like more advanced audio processing
technology, a Clear Voice Smart Mic that uses AI to eliminate background noise,
and Enhance Sound Perception (ESP) that modifies audio levels according to
hearing tests and preferences.
It also uses 50mm drivers and connects
with Bluetooth 5.2. USB-C to USB-A and 3.5mm aux cable. There's also an app
that lets you configure your sound as well. Finally, Skullcandy PLYR will be
their top tier and the most expensive among the group. Although despite the
"flagship" labeling it is just a tweaked-up SLYR Pro. This is also
only available in Black color.
It has similar internals such as a 50mm
driver, boom mic with AI to cancel background noise, built-in Tile Finding
technology to locate the headset via beeping sound, ESP, and app support. For
connectivity features, it has a 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C to USB-A, and Bluetooth
5.2. What changed here will be the 2.4GHz transmitter which is sold separately.
Another difference will be it has 24 hours of promised battery life and fast
charging. Skullcandy did not mention the battery life ratings of the other two
headsets.
