Skullcandy Headphones

Skullcandy Headphones

A brand that is known for being 'cool', Skullcandy initially started with very funky headphones that were considered to be fashionable too and not just good sonic devices. The brand is focused on the outdoor action sports segment, such as snowboarders, skateboarders, rollerbladers and other similar sports. Aside from this, they are made for the average consumer.

The Skullcandy range

One of the more famous headphones from Skullcandy is the Crusher series, these have the option for an extra bass kick. Therefore, the name Crusher. This line was also known for having done a collaboration with Snoop Dogg. Other brand lines include Riff, Hesh, Venue and Cassette.

The overall features include options for noise cancellation, touch controls, rapid charge for the wireless options and ultra-durable headbands. Most of their headphones also have controls on them so you can press the buttons for volume and to answer calls.

Monitor Mode is a feature that allows one to mix in external audio into their sound as well. This is great for people who are into running. Monitor Mode can let you hear a car coming your way.

Some of the wireless options also have the ability to work with a cable in case the battery is done and you still need headphones.

Skullcandy did a collaboration with Tile, incorporating their technology so you can find your headphones. Your smartphone will be able to ping them and also tell you their last known location. Unlike tile, though, this only works for one way. The Tile gizmo has a reverse find which can help you locate your smartphone.

Specific models also let you create a Personal Sound profile which is based on a real-time audio test that will hone the sound to your unique hearing.

This brand also makes earbuds and accessories such as power banks, small portable speakers and bags.
