Introduction ABOUT THE PLYR 2
Congratulations on your purchase of the SKULLCANDY Gaming PLYR 2! Whether you’re a casual player
or a pro gamer, we’d like to welcome you into the SKULLCANDY family of gaming accessories.
The PLYR 2 is the result of countless hours of research and development by the foremost experts in the
audio industry, extremely talented industrial designers, and SKULLCANDY’s own internal team of
gamers. Plus, it’s tweaked with SKULLCANDY Supreme Sound, so you know your games and other
media are going to sound their best.
The PLYR 2 contains a complex electronics package, so check out the rest of this instruction booklet if
you have a minute. If you’re too smart for manuals, save it anyway for later reference: it contains
important warranty information and a handy troubleshooting guide.
The PLYR 2 is a wireless headset system.
Whether you’re gaming or watching movies at home alone or with your friends, on a console or a PC,
the PLYR 2 has something to offer.
For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users, the PLYR 2 wirelessly combines voice communication and game
surround sound. Connect the wireless transmitter to your console, and you’re good to go.
For Home Theater setups, it’s easy to get crystal-clear wireless sound for your favorite movies and TV
shows. Simply run the 3.5mm to RCA connection from your TV, media playback device or stereo
receiver to the GMX Stereo Transmitter wireless transmitter, sit back and enjoy. You can adjust master
volume and the EQ’s from the headset and keep your neighbors off your back.
For PC and Mac gamers whose sound card has a 3.5mm jack, the GMX Stereo Transmitter can be used to
listen to your favorite games, music, videos and movies. Same deal as above, connect via 3.5mm cable
or USB cable and you’re good to go.
Voice communication is supported by running our USB Chat Cable (sold separately) into the USB
connection on your computer. The PLYR 2 enables your computer to offload surround sound decoding
and will combine multiple audio streams thanks to its built-in USB audio input. By setting your VoIP
program to use the PLYR 2 (called SKULLCANDY GMX Stereo Transmitter in your audio profiles) as the
USB input/output device, full hardware mixing is enabled between voice communication, game sound,
and music.

CONTROLS
With the SKULLCANDY Gaming PLYR 2, it’s easy to control your gaming or home theater audio
experience.
The MASTER VOLUME control on the headset raises and lowers volume of all incoming audio feeds
together. It will not raise or lower the volume of your outgoing voice communication. (The distance
between your microphone and your mouth is the best way to adjust this).
The BALANCE control on the headset enables you to dial in the perfect mix of game-to- voice
communication.
Important: It is possible to bring either the GAME or the VOICE volume down to 0% volume, at either
end of the BALANCE control dial spectrum.
The EQ3 switch on the Headset switches between the three EQ modes: Bass Mode (best for movies and
games with a lot of action), Supreme Mode (neutral tuning for no enhancements and good for music),
and Precision Mode (for accurate sound in FPS games).
Mic mute can be achieved by flipping the mic to the up position, and unmuted by bringing it to the
down position.
The MASTER POWER buttons on the Headset and GMX Stereo Transmitter do exactly what you might
expect, but also are used for pairing by first holding down the GMX Stereo Transmitter button until it
blinks white, and then doing the same with the Headset
Important: When the headset is idle (no signal detected for 5 minutes), the Headset will automatically
shut down. This feature is to prevent draining the battery when no headset is connected. If you
reconnect your headset within a short period of time, the unit will automatically return to the state you
had it in before it was disconnected. If you reconnect after this short time, you’ll need to restart it

When your Headset’s batteries are low, the amber power indicator will flash ON and OFF intermittently.
There is also an audio beep/alarm for when your batteries are low, giving you approximately 15% of
power left depending on the battery’s chemistry. A SOLID AMBER button indicates adequate power.
