Incipio, provider of mobile accessories, are looking to purchase Skullcandy to add their expansive range of head\/earphones into their stock.<\/h4>\n

Incipio LLC will pay $5.75 a share for a total of $177 million to buy Skullcandy. The company announced they’ve given Skullcandy a month to find a better deal, after which assuming that they haven’t found one they will be integrated into Incipio’s stock of mobile accessories.<\/p>\n

Incipio have been expanding their products through over companies since last year when they bought Incase, backpack, and laptop and phone case manufacturers. They also bought iPad case manufacturers ClamCase.<\/p>\n

SkullCandy’s purchase is undoubtedly the biggest one for Incipio however as it represents the biggest branching out from accessories to audio products. Skullcandy’s headphones have earned a strong legacy since being founded 13 years ago however in recent years have been losing revenue and stock prices.<\/p>\n

With Incipio’s purchase the pressure will be off Skullcandy to raise themselves back up to the popular audio phone manufacturer they once were and will allow Incipio to enter a new market and potentially innovate.<\/p>\n

An Incipio rep told The Verge<\/a>\u00a0that the Skullcandy brand would be retained, assumably becoming a sub-branch of their company. The headphones will retain the elements that have made them popular, like their rough-and-ready design made to survive stress and abuse. You can expect to see Skullcandy expanding, but not losing their core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
