SKULLCANDY CELEBRATES STREET FIGHTER 35th ANNIVERSARY WITH LIMITED-EDITION COLLABORATION

"For many gamers, there are few franchises more iconic than global powerhouse Street Fighter," said Derek Steiner, Director of Global Partnerships at Skullcandy. "In honor of the game's 35th anniversary, we re-designed our all-new flagship PLYR headset to ooze Street Fighter nostalgia. This exclusive drop gives gamers premium features and the immersive sound you can only get from Skullcandy — now, in signature Street Fighter style."

The limited-edition Skullcandy x Street Fighter PLYR headset is loaded with nods to the classic game. The stand-up arcade cabinet's unforgettable gray and black pebble texture is a clear staple, while custom ear cup illustrations are brought to life with a lenticular effect, resulting in low-tech, high-impact "motion graphics." Every detail — right down to the headband fasteners modeled after the original arcade action buttons — was considered.
