Patented bass tech, open-back acoustics, and head tracking set a new benchmark for gaming immersion
Skullcandy has unveiled the Crusher PLYR 720, its most immersive gaming headset yet, combining patented Crusher® multi-sensory bass technology, an open-back design, and THX® Spatial Audio to deliver what the brand calls “4D gaming.”
The Crusher PLYR 720 is the first gaming headset to integrate Skullcandy’s signature vibration-enhanced bass with an open-back acoustic design, creating a wider, more realistic soundstage. Explosions rumble with subwoofer-like depth, engines growl with life, and footsteps can be pinpointed with surgical precision. Unlike conventional haptics, its dual “sensation drivers” fire directly into the listener’s head and ears for a more natural, visceral effect.
“This isn’t just immersive—it’s 4D gaming,” said Justin Regan, VP of Marketing at Skullcandy. “It’s a winning combination of features, advanced app customisation, and crisp, detailed audio.”
The headset also features THX® Spatial Audio for precise directional sound, helping gamers locate threats and stay alert in high-stakes moments. When paired with the Skullcandy Mobile App, console and mobile players can activate head tracking for dynamic positional audio that moves with them.
Mike Henein, Director of Product Development at THX Ltd., added:
“THX Spatial Audio with head tracking lets gamers detect sneaking enemies, avoid incoming fire, and fully immerse themselves in the environment with greater emotional realism.”
