Skullcandy PLYR

Funky design aesthetic ; Excellent audio quality ; Reasonable price point

Transmitter sold separately ; Software is Windows-only ; Design won't be for everyone

The Skullcandy PLYR sounds great for music and movies as well as games, and it has a plethora of wired and wireless connection options to choose from – just make sure that you're comfortable with the design of these headphones before considering buying...

Fun looks ; Nice and lightweight ; Decent sound

Missing wireless dongle ; Inflexible mic ; Feels a little cheap

Skullcandy has slipped up by skipping on including a wireless dongle for the PLYR - it makes an otherwise fairly solid headset very hard to recommend to any serious gamer.

Special edition styling stuffed with easter eggs ; Sound is on the money ; Reasonably priced

Wireless transmitter an optional extra ; Looks won’t be for everyone

A multi-platform headset with style appeal – for some. Not the most feature-packed for the cash, but fans of the looks will still be swayed
