Tech Review – Skullcandy SLYR Pro Wireless Headphones

The Skullcandy SLYR Pro Wireless headphones are their latest headphones for avid gamers who want that bit more than just a plug and play option as these come with extras and an app to give you a more immersive feel to you gaming.

What is an additional benefit here these are cross platform headphones unlike others out there who tend to limit their use case you have choice and not only that can be used as a standard pair of headphones although limited to the controls as they are a gaming headset but the music sounds good and after all it is Skullcandy we are talking about here.

These are comfortable and light and can be worn for long periods of time as gamers tend to do long sessions now myself and my nephew both tested these out for several hours and they are ideal for heavy gamers which I am not nut do some gaming on the weekends when I have time..

You can connect with the USB provided or Bluetooth device dependent and you can use your mobile phone just in case you are wondering, there is simple controls on the headphones on the Left side giving you a volume wheel and power button and sidetone control you also have your I/Os and a mute switch which works by tapping the cup.

The app offers a suite of features enhancing the audio experience with Game/Chat mix Mic Gain Voice prompts and Sidetone you also get an equaliser which is pretty cool and enhanced sound perception you will need to take a hearing test with beeps which is common on Skullcandy products so you need to do this to get the best results.

These can be also used for listening to music too which gives the a kind of hybrid option and you can toggle the EQs to get the best results so overall a decent pair of gaming and music headphones for anyone who likes both that delivers on the audio aspect quite well.

Tech Review – Skullcandy SLYR gaming headphones

When it comes to gaming headphones there is plenty to pick from on the market today you have ones that cost a small fortune and ones that comes with all the bells and whistles and some RGB lights to impress people even more but then you have affordable offerings out there that are just plug and play and this is where these headphones rest and not only that these give you a superb audio experience for your gaming needs and also the voice aspect for multiplayer games is great, for me in my testing on both the Xbox and Nintendo Switch it made my experince more immersive, one of my family members went as far to say you get a cinema type experince from the audio delivered and they are not wrong, my game play on consoles is not a huge thing I do today however when I do I like to have the best experience available and for the cost of these headphones you get this and they impressed me as a whole and for the price you cant complain.

 

Ok some might see these as boring being plug and play but get immersive sound and yes there is no app or software involved here and it is kept simple there is a removable mic and you have one button to mute the headset and a volume wheel, it is all so easy and no set-up required and keeping the plug and play format the way it should be and for me easy to recommend for that gamer you know in your life and an ideal gift for Christmas or just a gift in general, the headset is light and comfortable and can be worn for hours on end, check the video below for more.
