Skullcandy looking to enhance your VR experience with the upcoming Crusher VRA headphones.
If you attended VRLA Summer Expo you know that the VR Rave was amazing. During the rave Skullcandy allowed attendees to demo the brand’s first VR audio headphone, the new Crusher VRA. I have been a fan of Skullcandy's many products for a while including the Plyr 1 and Slyr headphone lines. From my past experience with their products it is my honest opinion Skullcandy is looking to bring a great immersion VR product to market not just a pair of headphones with VR slapped on.
“In our day to day lives, all the senses combine to create a meaningful or memorable experience,” said Hoby Darling, Skullcandy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “There’s been remarkable progress with accessibility of hardware, software and content creation tools, but the majority of these advancements have been focused on elevating the visual VR experience. We’re here because we want to be catalysts for progressing the virtual reality audio, which we believe is an essential part of having a true VR experience.”
The brand’s first VR audio headphone, the new Crusher VRA™, features stereo haptic bass drivers that deliver directional bass you can feel, ferrofluid integration for broader, cleaner bass response and refined digital signal processing (DSP). This proprietary set of features combine to create industry-leading immersion and a premium multi-sensory experience.

Expo attendees were also able to demo Crusher VRA with Skullcandy’s Audioscape VR app experience. I had the chance to use it and was really impressed on Skullcandy's dedication to creating a VR experience. The headphones and the app will be available next year, this gives Skullcandy the time to create a fantastic immersion product for audiophiles and VR enthusiasts.
