Skullcandy dives into high-end gaming audio

I mainly remember Skullcandy because of earbuds. That said, I did once buy one of their headsets at a discount store and it was fantastic, with some killer bass. Now, they're invading the high-end gaming space with the Crusher PLYR 720, the latest in Skullcandy technology. Check out all the details below!

PARK CITY, Utah, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Skullcandy is bringing a seismic shift to the gaming audio scene with the launch of the Crusher PLYR 720—the first gaming headset to feature Skullcandy's patented Crusher multi-sensory bass technology and an open-back design for an unmatched immersive experience.

Skullcandy is bringing a seismic shift to the gaming audio scene with the launch of the Crusher PLYR 720—the first gaming headset to feature Skullcandy’s patented Crusher multi-sensory bass technology and an open-back design for an unmatched immersive experience. The Crusher PLYR 720 fuses Skullcandy’s fan-favorite multi-sensory bass, THX® Spatial Audio, and open-back acoustics to deliver an entirely new way to experience gaming.

The Crusher PLYR 720 fuses Skullcandy's fan-favorite multi-sensory bass, THX^® Spatial Audio, and open-back acoustics to deliver an entirely new way to experience your favorite games. Explosions rumble through your chest, engines growl with depth, you can hear a creeping enemy with pinpoint accuracy, and every impact shakes you.

The open-back acoustics and advanced positional tuning mean the audio creates a realistic, expansive soundstage. The signature dual Crusher drivers, acting as sensation drivers, provide the best immersive acoustics for gamers. The result gives gamers a heightened level of hearing and sensation that allows them to feel what is happening in the game before they see or hear it. Unlike haptic headphones on the market, Crusher PLYR 720's bass drivers fire directly into your head and ears—not just around them—delivering a more natural, visceral sound you can truly feel. It's less like controller rumble and more like adding an adjustable subwoofer to your gameplay.

"This isn't just immersive—it's 4D gaming," said Justin Regan, vice president of marketing at Skullcandy. "This is a winning combination of features, advanced app customization, and crisp audio."

With a bold design and advanced audio control via the Skull-HQ app, the Crusher PLYR 720 puts players in full command of their sensory experience, letting them tune every detail to their playstyle.

"Crusher PLYR 720 users become immersed in a more realistic game experience with THX Spatial Audio," said Mike Henein, director of product development, THX Ltd. "THX Spatial Audio brings the precision and pinpoint accuracy of advanced audio positioning that allows gamers to more accurately locate sneaking enemies, avoid whizzing bullets, and gain early detection of nearby threats. Plus, the thrill of hearing the immersive environment also elevates emotional realism. Stay mentally sharp, survive longer, and improve your score with Crusher PLYR 720 by toggling on THX Spatial Audio."

For console and mobile gamers, the Crusher PLYR 720 also features THX Spatial Audio with head tracking, a dynamic additional immersive audio feature, through the Skullcandy Mobile App for console and mobile gaming.

Whether you enjoy cross-platform gameplay or are an Xbox loyalist, Skullcandy Crusher PLYR 720 delivers. Two available models include:

-Multi-Platform – Wireless play on PlayStation, Switch, PC, and mobile, plus wired Xbox support.

-Designed for Xbox – Wireless play on Xbox, plus PlayStation, Switch, PC, and mobile.
