The folks at Skullcandy didn’t have much to show off this year at E3 in the way of new hardware aside from a few new coats of paint for the extremely popular Astro A40 line. What they were talking about however were their new licensing deals with Ubisoft for Assassin’s Creed and EA for Battlefield 4 branded headsets. Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will adorn the Skullcandy SLYR while the Battlefield 4 headsets will be available in both Astro A40 and A50 varieties. Speaker tag packs may be sold separately, with a few being included with each headset.
EB: Skullcandy sent over the Halo 5 Edition Smokin’ Buds 2 earbuds to check out, so I put it through the audio paces to see how they stand up. Quite frankly, the Smokin’ Buds 2 are fantastic earbud style headphones for the price, which is just $30, and the Halo 5 paint job and REQ pack are nice touches for the offering.
The titans are better by far. Unfortunately, the're also discontinued.

This year at E3, Astro Gaming was focusing on a pair of new products that are coming soon.
