About this deal

The style-savvy Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator headphones earn our recommendation for balancing a unique thematic design with exceptional clarity in spite of a slightly passive low-end response. I used " friends on mushrooms" by infected mushroom to see how they did with some energetic and heavy EDM.

Headphones - Skullcandy Headphones - Skullcandy

i use these headphones for outdoor work. They work great for the value you pay for. i think they are comfortable but after 3 hours they become uncomfortable. but i have not found a pair that is not after a long period of time.

Conclusion

Cool design based on Aviator sunglasses. Quality bass response with barely any distortion at maximum volume. Integrated Apple iPhone/iPod mic and controls I try my best not to pre-judge one product based off another product from the same company, but we’re human, and we just about always have a preconceived opinion forming in our minds before we ever dig into the product. That was the case with the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator. I had previously listened to a lower cost product from Skull Candy and was thoroughly disappointed and I was expecting the same type of let down when trying this set out. Fortunately, my ill-advised preconceptions were ill-founded so read further to get my breakdown of these stylish headphones. The soundstage is not actually very wide in open standard, but for a small closed portable, it’s pretty impressive. And the imaging while a bit left/rightish still utilizes the width quite well. Just htat there’s no depth whatsoever. the guitar riffs were great, the separate vocals could easily be differentiated from one another and didn't blur together, the percussion sounded great and even the intro to ariels sounded wonderful so bravo to these cans for making my favorite band continue to sound amazing.

Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones review - CNET

The first thing that will jump out at you about the Aviators is their styling. While I’m typically more interested in the sound coming out of the headphones, I have to admit I felt really cool just putting these things on. Unlike the Dre Beats Studios I reviewed recently, these were more about a different look than having that status symbol prominently displayed on your head. I borrowed these from my friend over at partytimebaby.com (he’s a bit of a headphone addict himself) and he opted for the brown with gold trim. These things are absolutely gorgeous – I didn’t think so when I first saw them, but they’ve grown on me like a stray cat. The details and workmanship in these are something to examine and enjoy. I’ve included plenty of photos so you can see first hand what I’m talking about. Build Quality – 9 Surprisingly good sound. Light and comfortable. They fold up and slip into a svelte travel case. Charming retro styling already matches your sunglasses. I used " fish don't scream" by Serj Tankian to really test the bass sound and instrumental separation. Most mainstream headphone usually gets this part right, and so does the Skullcandy. Nice design with the ear cup design referencing aviator sunglasses (hence the name). The brown/brass colour scheme is pretty classy. Throw in the small foldable design and removable cable, and these are ideal for on the go listening. PC – I use a headphone line out from the PC which many people do while at work – while this isn’t the optimal setup, I find that a high quality recording can yield a good result

NEVER MISS A DROP

when i was shopping for some, seemed like there was only earphones for rnb/rap music listeners that need high bass. I’m a radiohead/cat power slow music listener and i find they are perfect for music listeners like me. they provide a clear spoken word sound. They seem to provide a nice mid section and a colored treble that sounds ok but does not extend as deep as some cans will. Infact, my HD 558s have more bass than these (and the 558s are an open can, This proves the aviators are NOT a bass-head can) 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

Customer Reviews: Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Over-the-Ear

The stylish Roc Nation Aviator headphones reach beyond Skullcandy's tween demographic and bring a sophisticated look and detailed sound design to the mobile market. Improvements: More detailed, warmer punchier sound, slightly more bass quantity while keeping the same clarity You don’t have an iPod or an iPhone – I believe they have models without the built in controls which cost lessHonestly 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. 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. With a smoother mid forward amp and better dac the increase in overall clarity is noticeable. The mids get even more forward while the bass quantity is decreased but can still slam/rumble at loud enough volumes. The vocals while already good before is now something special. The treble remains the same but the overall soundstage has gotten lot more spacious, making the e07k a bit congested sounding. It’s not warm sounding either unlike the eo7k,
