PARK CITY, Utah, Jan. 8, 2014 -- Skullcandy, Inc.
(Nasdaq:SKUL), the original performance lifestyle audio brand,
unveisl two new and innovative product lines during the 2014
International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas. In what the
brand forecasts to be a major year of growth and development, Skullcandy
introduces a new collection of advanced headphones developed for women
and expands into the sport performance space with key design features
intended to help enhance athlete performance.
Skullcandy's first-ever women's-specific line, comprised of headphones
and earbuds, was created with the notion that products for women should
be fine tuned and engineered specifically for them. The collection is
designed, colored, cushioned and patterned for females with a pioneering
focus on women's specific acoustics and fit. Resulting from extensive
research by our internal advanced concept engineering and product
development teams on the anatomical and acoustical differences between
men and women, the line boasts unique adjustments in clamping pressure,
headband size and shape, as well as form-fitting female-specific ear
gels, designed to deliver maximum acoustic performance while aiding in
stability and providing long-term comfort.
In addition, the collection
features premium fabrics and finishes and bold fashion-forward
aesthetics that Skullcandy is known for and coupled with female-friendly
add-ons like Pureclean™ antimicrobial ear gels and ear pads.
The line
is set to launch March 15, 2014 and retails for $29.99–$99.99.
This summer, Skullcandy plans to officially unveil its Sport
Performance line (SSP), which previews today at CES. SSP brings an
elevated offering to the active earphone market designed for athletic
audiophiles looking for best in class fit, construction and
materialization. Featuring a proprietary innovation called Stickybuds™,
which allows for maximum surface contact and friction, SSP ear gels
become nearly 30 percent stickier than standard gels when you
sweat—ensuring that the earbuds stay in place even during the toughest
workouts. SSP's line will exceed consumers' expectations in several
price brackets with regard to performance in fit, durability, microphone
control, cord resistance, reflectivity and sweat resistance amongst a
myriad of additional product features and technologies. The collection,
an assortment consisting of earbuds, in-ear and hanger earphones, is set
to deliver to its active consumers come June of 2014 with consumer
accessible prices ranging from $29.99-$49.99.
"As a brand, we see CES as the perfect arena to debut and build
excitement within the industry for the two new categories we plan to
target in 2014," said Sam Paschel, Chief Commercial Officer at
Skullcandy. "Going well beyond aesthetics,
Skullcandy intends to raise
the bar with regard to performance, fit, comfort, durability and sound
while meeting the demands of the unique lifestyles that our customers
maintain. We confidently feel both the forthcoming women's and sport
performance lines will not only deliver but exceed expectations."
Both collections can be previewed during the 2014 International CES at
the Skullcandy booth, located in Central Plaza Hall, booth CP3.
