Affordable headphone brand SkullCandy has announced the limited edition Transparency Series of earbuds and headphones.
The new range has been designed with a focus on environmental impact and carbon reduction, and aims to increase awareness surrounding the affect the manufacturing process has on the environment.
The new range is made up of two products. The first is the Limited-Edition Skullcandy Transparency Series Hesh Evo Wireless Headphones which sport 40mm drivers, 36 hours of battery life and Rapid Charge that gives 3 hours of battery in a 10 minute charge.
Alongside this, SkullCandy has launched Limited-Edition Skullcandy Transparency Series Jib True 2 Wireless Earbuds, boasting 6mm drivers, 33 hours of battery life and IPX4 water resistance.
Both pairs sport Built-In Tile Finding Technology, which alongside the fun colours, make them perfect for kids.
As part of their environmental initiative, SkullCandy has partnered with Protect Our Winters, who are important climate advocates. A portion of proceeds from the range will be donated to the Not-For-Profit group.
SkullCandy is also looking to reduce their own carbon footprint and improve their manufacturing process through partnership with EcoChain, who will assess the company’s carbon emissions and allow them to reduce their impact.
In the development of the Transparency Series, SkullCandy partnered with TerraPass to invest in carbon-capture programs which offset their manufacturing impact, resulting in the new products having a net-zero carbon footprint.
Pricing and availability for the SkullCandy range is currently available from the US site, with the Hesh Evo headphones costing $114.99 ($A165.24) and the Jib True 2 Wireless costing $49.99 (A$71.83). Local pricing and availability is yet to be announced.
