Skullcandy and Amazon have announced a new partnership that will provide users with dual-voice assistant support on upcoming hardware to support more intuitive interaction. The initiative will see the headphones capable of supporting Skullcandy's own voice assistant wake words as well as Amazon Alexa to perform different tasks as required. This is expected to increase ease of use and expand capabilities.
The dual-voice assistant support from Skullcandy and Amazon will be available on the upcoming Push Active and Grind Series headphone models. Users will be able to control music playback using the Skullcandy voice assistant, while Amazon Alexa will handle additional queries like getting song information, checking the wether or even setting a reminder. The collaboration comes as part of the changing landscape for connected voice assistant technology as the services adapt to the evolving needs of consumers.
