Skullcandy Aviator 2.0 Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - Royal Blue/Black

Product Information

So, they're not ugly. That's a plus, I thought. But then I put them on and – wait a minute, these actually sound pretty good. Not amazing, but much better than anything else I've heard from Skullcandy thus far. That said, the rest of the build quality is top-notch; Skullcandy goes the extra mile to reinforce the cable connection that's notorious for headphone hardware failure, and the tough polycarbonate frame forms a protective skeleton for the vinyl-lined headband. We're also assured that the Aviators will withstand a beating thanks to the nylon-braided cable that extends 1.3 meters past the left earcup, but we hope Skullcandy will push its durability further and allow detachable cables in future versions.

The cellos stood out nicely and the varying percussion all sounded unique and apart from each other. Most importantly the varying high string instruments such as banjo, mandolin, etc. were all separated instead of being muddied together. The company's demo skews young, and we all know the kids don't necessarily care if their music sounds good, as long as it's loud. Needless to say, Skullcandy's headphones haven't ever scored high marks among audiophiles. Being one of these snobbish elites, my expectations were not inflated when I received a shipment of Roc Nation Aviators, a set of headphones cross-branded with Jay-Z and LiveNation's Roc Nation promotions outfit.

These headphones were for my daughter. She really likes the sound quality and comfort. She tried at least 20 different styles before choosing the Skullcandy. We tried them on a recommendation from my co-worker. We used the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviators intermittently for over a week and have few complaints about the fit and shape of the headphones. The plush leather ear protectors create a loose seal that lets you hear ambient noise while also keeping your music between your ears with adequate sound isolation. The headphones are surprisingly light considering the stainless steel accents, and you also get plenty of room within the wide pyramidal-shape earcups to accommodate a range of ear sizes. Honestly without an amp, I didn’t really like the headphone much at all. But amped via the e07k with full bass boost and level 6 treble boost fixed alot of the problems. The treble louder without being harsh. And bass got a lot more engaging. It hits decently hard and can rumble a bit when called for. It also remians pretty undistorted even at loud volumes. The sound now has a lot more weighty, dynamic and textured. However the treble is bit dull and splashy, and the bass are bit blurry or “one note” The soundstage is still pretty much the same, and is still pretty closed sounding. I used " fish don't scream" by Serj Tankian to really test the bass sound and instrumental separation. Love the styling and retro looks. Skull candy provides quality sound for a reasonable price. I can wear them comfortably all day at work with my glasses as well as a secondary pair of safety glasses and not experience any discomfort. Love the memory foam padded ear cups. All and all an awesome value.

Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones review - CNET

If you’re the type to not believe in burn in, you’ll probably not give the aviators a chance. On first listen, the sound was to put it bluntly horrible. Muffled, slow and congested are the initial impressions I would give to them. But after even a few hours, the sound clears up considerably. Enough that I thought, hey they actually sound good!You don’t have an iPod or an iPhone – I believe they have models without the built in controls which cost less these are perfect for somebody who likes the big style headphones or likes to listen to music in the house because you cant nothing around you Cool design based on Aviator sunglasses. Quality bass response with barely any distortion at maximum volume. Integrated Apple iPhone/iPod mic and controls Skullcandy partnered with Jay-ZAAAs Roc Nation to produce the latest, most sought-after headphones on the market, the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviators. These phones drip with a fusion of vintage and ultra-modern style, but they offer more than that: they pump premium-quality soundwaves.Product FeaturesMaterial: Polycarbonate, stainless steel, & aluminumDriver: 40mmInput Connection: Gold-platedCord Length: 52in (130cm)Weight: 0.46oz (13g) Recommended Use: Sonic enhancementManufacturer Warranty: Lifetime
