When it comes to headphones and earphones, this particular industry seems to settle comfortably into a unisex mindset, ranging from its fit to acoustics and design. Well, Skullcandy, ever the innovator, intends to turn things on its head by introducing a range of products that will feature reimagined acoustics, engineering, and industrial design. We are talking about the extremely functional yet relentlessly forward Skullcandy Women’s collection that was specially developed via careful thought and extensive research, having drawn inspiration from within Skullcandy’s very own team of Olympic and Athlete Ambassadors, where among them include the talented pro-snowboarder Kimmy Fasani and pro-surfer Leila Hurst. This particular collection would be a representation of youth, passion, strength, and singularity of the female consumer market.
Michelle Whitehead, Skullcandy’s Director of Brand and Sports Marketing shared, “The truth is there are real anatomical, acoustical, and behavioral differences in how male and female consumers experience our product. Our goal was to understand these differences well enough to design products, from the ground up, that would legitimately improve the audio experience for our female consumer. We are extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished.”
All three products, the Knockout, Bombshell, and Dime, did include acoustics, comfort, materialization, fit, and even hygiene during the development process. Apart from that, the collection’s audio drivers have also been custom-tuned to reflect field research that supports the fact that both women and men hear differently (no doubt about that!), as Skullcandy engineers worked round the clock in order to come up with what they deem is the perfect headband fit for the ladies, in addition to earbud size and shape.
Fine tuned and specially engineered for women, this range will be further complimented by premium fabrics and materialization. There are floral prints, rose gold finishes, and subtle stud embellishments which happen to be bold fashion-forward aesthetics that will add a dash of feminine edge to the predominantly unisex category, functioning as a mirror to what female consumers and their unique styles and perspectives carry. Expect Skullcandy Women’s to have launched in the U.S. already, where it will cost anywhere from $29.99 to $99.99, depending on the model that you choose.

Another day, another Bluetooth speaker is introduced to the fold of ever growing products and devices, and this time around, we have Skullcandy that has just recently announced their Air Raid Bluetooth speaker. Skullcandy has been around for quite some time already, being famous for rolling out audio gear such as headphones and earbuds that ooze with quality, so a slight departure from their bread and butter to a Bluetooth speaker is definitely more than welcome.
Skullcandy is a name that is well known for churning out some pretty interesting and decent headsets in the past, and it does not seem as though it will stop doing so in the near future. Not especially when you have the latest Crusher headphones from Skullcandy, which was released as part of Eric Koston’s Signature series of headphones. Here is a little bit of background information on Eric Koston – he turned pro in 1992, and has made quite an impact on street skating. Koston was also the co-founder of skateboarding’s leading contest site, the Berrics, alongside fellow Skullcandy athlete Steve Berra.
