Whether you're tracking enemy footsteps, experiencing cinematic campaigns, or competing online, Crusher PLYR 720 is built to outperform traditional gaming headsets. For players looking for additional options, PLYR Wireless and SLYR Wireless also deliver outstanding gaming performance across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

Q: Is a wired or wireless headset better for gaming?

Wired and wireless gaming headsets each have their advantages and disadvantages. Wireless headsets have longer range than the wired variety and provide the freedom of gameplay without wires.

To alleviate the pain of this last disadvantage, Skullcandy wireless gaming headsets include a cord in case you forget to charge your headset.

Combined with customizable EQ and game/chat mix controls, Crusher PLYR 720 delivers Skullcandy's most immersive gaming headset, helping you react faster, stay more engaged, and experience every moment with greater impact.
