The famous American brand of stereo headphones and wireless headphones SKULLCANDY regularly presents us with high-performance products in various designs that bring satisfaction to a wide range of consumers (several articles available on this site). Today, it is expanding its influence by partnering with the world’s leading snowboard brand BURTON.
Commenting on the collaboration, Derek Steiner, Director of Partners at SKULLCANDY said : « Jake Burton Carpenter has dedicated over 40 years of his life to advancing the design of snowboards and fighting for riders to have access to the lifts in every ski resort in the world. It was on one of these chairlifts that Skullcandy was born. Without Burton, snowboarding would not be what it is today. And in a way, neither would Skullcandy. »
He continued : « This collaboration was only a matter of time, as our experiences and visions are so similar. With such a strong style, this collection demands high end performance, and our Crusher Evo, Push Active and Mod headphones offer just that. We hope this unique collaboration encourages our fans to express their talent and blaze their own trail, whether it’s on the mountain or in everyday life. »
The collaboration includes 3 revamped SKULLCANDY models : the popular Crusher Evo wireless headphones, Push Active wireless headphones and Mod.
As for the most striking features, the Crusher Evo‘s sound is customizable via the Skullcandy app, has built-in Tile tracking technology, is foldable and stores flat. The Push Active headphones incorporate Smart Feature Technology and Tile, and the Mod allows for multiple device pairing and boasts Stay-Aware mode. The latter 2 models are IP55 water, sweat and dust resistant.
To affirm the collab, these pieces are decorated with the logos of the 2 brands.
These audio products appear colorful, with bold wild designs and mismatched looks inspired by the energy of nature and the desire to push the boundaries in all geographic environments. They stand out with pink and purple cheetah prints on one side and olive green on the other. This design is inspired by the Burton Rewind and Name Dropper snowboards.
For the lookbook of this collab, the partners called upon the Olympic medalist, 3 times elected best rider of the year, Anna Gasser, who is both SKULLCANDY and BURTON ambassador.
The SKULLCANDY x BURTON collection is available worldwide exclusively online at skullcandy.com. Prices are set at 199.99€ for the Crusher Evo headphones, 84.99€ for the Push Active headphones and 64.99€ for the Mod. Let’s go !
