Skullcandy revolutionizes gaming audio with the launch of the Crusher PLYR 720, the first gaming headset to integrate their signature bass technology. This multiplatform wireless headset delivers an unprecedented 4D audio experience, combining patented haptic feedback with THX Spatial Audio for competitive and immersive gameplay.
The Crusher PLYR 720 stands out with its open-back design and Crusher bass drivers, which channel vibrations directly into the ears rather than relying solely on external haptics. This creates a deeper, more physical connection to in-game sounds, from explosions to subtle footsteps, giving players a tactical edge. THX Spatial Audio further enhances positional accuracy, allowing gamers to pinpoint enemy movements with lifelike precision.
“This isn’t just immersive, it’s 4D gaming,” emphasizes Justin Regan, Skullcandy’s VP of Marketing. The headset’s customizable audio profiles via the Skull-HQ app let users fine-tune their experience, while Bluetooth 5.3 and a Clear Voice Smart Mic ensure seamless communication. With up to 48 hours of battery life, marathon gaming sessions stay uninterrupted.
Two variants cater to different platforms: a wireless model for PlayStation, Switch, PC, and mobile (with wired Xbox support) and an Xbox-specific version with full wireless compatibility. Though unconfirmed, the headset will likely support the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Priced at $259.99, the Crusher PLYR 720 is available now on Skullcandy’s website and Amazon. For gamers craving next-level audio immersion, this headset redefines what it means to “feel” the game.
