Skullcandy has officially raised the bar in the gaming audio world with the debut of the Crusher PLYR 720, a groundbreaking headset that introduces the brand’s signature Crusher multi-sensory bass technology into the gaming space for the first time. Designed to provide a next-level immersive experience, the headset also boasts an open-back design, THX Spatial Audio, and full app-based audio control, delivering what Skullcandy calls “4D gaming.”
Sensory Bass Meets Spatial Precision
At the heart of the Crusher PLYR 720 is Skullcandy’s patented Crusher multi-sensory bass system, previously beloved by music fans and now re-engineered specifically for gaming. This technology uses dual vibration drivers that fire directly into your head and ears, making explosions, engine roars, and footsteps not just heard, but physically felt. Unlike traditional haptic feedback systems, this delivers a natural, subwoofer-like sensation that intensifies in-game realism.
Paired with THX Spatial Audio, the headset creates a 360-degree soundstage with pinpoint positional accuracy. Players can hear enemies sneaking up behind them, locate nearby threats, and become fully immersed in digital environments—enhancing both strategy and reaction times.
“This isn’t just immersive—it’s 4D gaming,” said Justin Regan, VP of Marketing at Skullcandy. “This headset brings together performance, customization, and raw audio power.”
