Skullcandy reportedly becomes a separate Bose brand after acquisition

Operations to continue in Park City

According to the report, Bose acquired Skullcandy without disclosing the purchase price. Skullcandy is expected to remain based in Park City, Utah, and Bose says it will gain access to Bose technology and resources.

The report describes several years of collaboration between the two audio companies, including Skullcandy products branded “Sound by Bose,” but does not provide a comparable prior ownership arrangement.

Skullcandy is reportedly becoming a separate brand within Bose’s consumer-audio business while continuing to operate from Park City, Utah.

Bose says the deal is intended to help it connect with audiences where it has less presence, including Skullcandy’s lifestyle-oriented reach in sports, gaming, music and fitness.
