Skullcandy SLYR Multi-Platform Wired Gaming Headset Removable Mic Durable and Comfortable Lightweight Design Ultra-Soft Memory Foam Ear Cushions

Love these. Had them for months now. No issues. They are wired but still need to be charged for the bass boost or noise cancelling. Comfortable for long wearing. Sounds great. Adjustable. I have mine on the smallest and fit great but they can extend a lot to fit! Controls are easy to use. Mute at the push of a button. Disconnect mic to use just headset. Read more

This was given to hubby after his other headphones broke. These are the best pair we've bought. They last long on one charge. I can also say the sound must be good because he can never hear me now lol Read more

Now while it's a $30 headset it's really great value for money, audio is nice and clear bass is not as heavy as you would expect for the brand but it's there. Explosions on cod are very loud. That's when you have the volume max. The reason for 4 of 5 stars simply because I can't really fine tune the volume level mine cuts out the left ear. But I can live with it. The mic is great teammates can hear me clearly. Fits very nice light weight and it's over ear so no pressure on your ears that creates a great noise seal. To me it works well. Read more

I was really looking forward to getting this headset as these will be replacing my old SLYR 1st gen. They have great sound quality and are super loud I don't even need to go up 50% volume, the fit is VERY noise isolating I was surprised I couldn't quite hear myself speaking clearly. They have a battery incorporated but it's only when using via USB and to use the Skull HQ app or the volume wheel in the headset, and they charge while connected so you don't even need to worry about the battery dying! You can also use the 3.5 mm cable and don't even need to turn them on, the ear pads are real soft and it doesn't hurt my head while using it from 9-5. Mic quality is good although it doesn't really bend. They are not as fragile as people say I think the materials are really good and the colors are pretty, the cables are flat and seem very durable. My only complain would be that they slide off your head easily. Overall this is a great headset but I'm not and audio expert so to me they are good and I would definitely recommend these they look really good. Read more

UPDATE: I contacted Skullcandy support. They don't offer ANY replacement parts, including ear pads. Even though the ear pads are REMOVABLE. My review is down to one star for such poor product design/planning -- not just for using fabric pads that you can't replace, but for not offering ANY replacement parts. Thanks for contributing to e-waste, Skullcandy. Original: I use these at work to concentrate with music or for online meetings. I want to love them— They’re super comfy, and a true over-ear fit. They’re nicely balanced between weight, cushion, and snugness. My coworkers say the mic sounds nice. However, the material on the ear cushions and headband soak up ALL skin and hair oil. It’s so bad, it looks like major sweat stains. It was noticeable within weeks when new. After a year or so, the pads are FILTHY. Skullcandy doesn’t sell replacements; I’ve only found one unrated 3rd party version. The volume dial was quickly scratchy and one channel sometimes cuts out until I wiggle the dial. However, I rarely use the dial because I keep it at max volume with a DAC. The mute button on the earpiece is awkward. I never use it because I have to smush the ear pad into my temple to activate it. So I never use it, except for accidentally bumping it when taking the headset off. I can’t review the sound. My PC (new in 2023) wouldn’t support the mic on USB, and the 3.5mm plug was very tinny, so I got a DAC. Pretty sure this is a PC problem, not a headset problem. I made a lot of sound adjustments with the DAC. I’m not willing to start over in my search for perfect headphones. These are good enough, and if I can find replacement ear pads, I can put up with the quirks until the headphones break completely. I’m just glad I didn’t dish out for the wireless or pro version—they would have the same dirt-magnets. Read more

I bought this for my teenage son who uses it on PC and PlayStation. It’s been a helpful integration into his educational journey since he is in online school and he also uses it for his free time gaming. We love the product because it’s lightweight. It’s a great value for our money. It has Bluetooth capability and it also can be wired directly. My favorite part is that it is difficult to break the side earpieces are flexible and move and instead of being rigid it’s perfect for anybody who’s looking for a good headset and doesn’t need professional grade. This review is a legitimate purchase and not something gifted. Thank you. Have a great shopping experience. Read more

Bought this headset because my old one is starting to have issues. However, their “smart mic” is very bad. It base boosts my voice making it incredibly painful and annoying for friends to hear me (that’s with the microphone attachment) and when the mic finally works properly it just sounds like your far away, that includes the built in mic on the headphones, unless you’re playing on a Pc then the issue would be if your talking too low. When you talk to low it becomes too hard for the mic to pick up and then your voice begins to break apart. Going back to the “smart mic” though, the only smart thing about it is if a noice constantly makes noise then the mic lowers that volume until you can’t hear it however, that doesn’t work when someone’s watching tv or when someone is talking in the background meaning it’s not very good for loud households unless say that volume is consistent and constant. That isn’t to say it isn’t all bad, it is surprisingly comfortable and it cancels noise fairly well so if mic quality isn’t a issue then it’s a good headset. I would not say it’s worth the money though. Also for some reason there’s multiple modes of sound, which has minor tweaks, I wouldn’t say it’s too special but yeah. Read more
