New Skullcandy gaming headsets announced!

The SLYR models will come in three different colors such as the Black DigiHype, Green Digi Hype, and Blue DigiHype.

The SLYR version

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.

The SLYR Pro

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.

The PLYR variant

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.
