Many Xbox One gamers purchase new systems and find themselves looking for a pair of headphones that are as serious as their gaming aspirations. There are some imitators on the market that tend to struggle when compared with exceptional headphones from companies like Turtle Beach, but do we have a stellar set for you today or what?
Skullcandy has designed a pair of Xbox One exclusive headphones for gamers and they are called the Skullcandy SLYR Xbox One headset . Retailing at $99.99 per pair, the SLYR set comes in only one color, black. The headphone frame is solid black, while the headphone pads and microphone are both green.
The setup of the headphones is quite easy and the only assembly that is required is the plugging in of the Xbox One connector into the headphones. The plug-in for the Xbox One controller is similar to the standard headphone plug-in all Xbox One systems come with.
The in-game presentation players will find is exceptional with minimal sound degradation. Playing a shooter such as Evolve yields an experience that is immersive and captivating. That's the headphones doing the work for the game there, and they do a nice job of providing additional sound that I wouldn't normally hear without headphones on.
Bass is something extremely noticeable in nearly any game you play on your Xbox One, and it's something you will notice right away when you wear these headphones. They handle a high level of bass, but I would not say they are the absolute best when in comes to this. That said, they are probably in the mid-to-upper echelon in the handling of bass.
The layout of the small control panel on the Xbox One controller is simple and easy to understand. The right side's "+" and "-" signs indicate the increase and decrease of volume. The headphones come with a GMX-1 Mixer that provides above average game to voice mixing.
The comfort and fit of headphones is something that is hard to decipher when you are a buyer on the market these days. Skullcandy's headphones in this instance sport memory foam ear cushions, which are nice on paper. However, they tend to falter during a long gaming session. Achy ears followed around three hours into a gaming session, which depending on the type of gamer you are, could be a deal break, especially if you game beyond three hours.
I believe the average gamer will find the headphones quite comfortable and that they adequately serve their needs, however, if you are a hardcore, long-session gamer you may want to look elsewhere. As I played with some friends online, they told me they couldn't hear a whole lot of background noise, which was good to know since I played some music reasonably loud on purpose in the background just to see what they thought.
Overall, Skullcandy has themselves a nice set of headphones that most gamers will want to add alongside their Xbox One. As games continue to launch, having a good pair of Xbox One headphones becomes all the more important for gaming dominance, and we recommend the SLYR Xbox One set.
