Skullcandy, the lifestyle audio brand alternative for those spurning today’s iTech sheeple and Beverly Hills yoga sets, announced today its newest feature-packed, value-driven franchise, Rail. Introducing two new True Wireless earbud models, Rail ANC boasting 4-mic Active Noise Cancellation technology and Rail True Wireless Earbuds, this line distils the best of Skullcandy. Offering premium features such as hands-free voice control via Skull-iQ Smart Feature Technology®, Multipoint Pairing and Clear Voice Smart Mic, along with a redesigned ergonomic fit and other upgrades, all at an unbeatable sub-$250 price point. Rail ANC ($229.95 RRP) and Rail True Wireless ($169.95 RRP) are now available in Australia, on Skullcandy.com.au.

Rail ANC and Rail present users with an elevated true wireless experience, enabling hands-free voice commands in five language options plus the ability to become smarter over time when upgraded features are released via the Skull-iQ App. A streamlined listening experience is further enhanced by multipoint pairing and capacitive touch controls that can be customised through the app. Personal Sound enables users to tune their audio to optimal levels based on their unique hearing profile. Rail ANC presents users with ​four-mic hybrid and adjustable active noise cancellation for a more reliable, easier to activate experience and also offers wireless charging.

“When we sat down to conceptualise the Rail family, our goal was to pack the best of what Skullcandy offers into a sleek, innovative form factor,” said Jason Luthman, Director of Global Product Management, Skullcandy. “The premium Rail collection is fully-loaded with mind-blowing audio and the freshest features competing with the highest-end true wireless offerings on the market, at a price point our fans will appreciate.”

Both Rail ANC and Rail were designed using cutting-edge technology, leveraging virtual reality to create a universally ergonomic fit, providing the most stable, comfortable and best-fitting experiences on the market.
