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

Product Information

Looks great, although it would be nice if it came in different colors - I only found the blue. It's a nice color but options are good. I absolutely recommend this headphone to begin getting into better audio since they are so forgiving they literally smooth up highly compressed, highly annoying music as much as realistically possible on portable devices.

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! Improvements: More detailed, warmer punchier sound, slightly more bass quantity while keeping the same clarity 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. 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) 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: LifetimeSounds very good. Not a studio headphone but to me sounds better than Beats and other products in this same space of "fashion/style/design first, sound second". Let's face it, we want a fun product, not a dry studio headset. The sound is crisp, not as bass-heavy as some other options, and gives very good definition all through the audible range particularly in the middle to upper range. The bass is firm and strong without being overpowering. There's a lot of 'space' in that sounds don't meld in to one another in any discernable way. You don’t have an iPod or an iPhone – I believe they have models without the built in controls which cost less As the pun in the title suggests, this is a GREAT product. I have used many Skullcandy products in the past and this is the best by far. I have also used the Dre Beats and even the Studios do not come close to comfort or sound. A++ product! 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. 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.

Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones review - CNET

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 my favourite right here (but it should be, considering how much the wa6 costs), it now warmer, bassier while being clearer and more detailed, offering the most dynamic sound yet. The mids are more inline with the rest of the sound which can be good or bad depending on your taste. 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 I have been using this every day for about the last month and been working great. The travel bag has been useful to protect headphones while traveling. 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,

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. These headphones actually separated the wide variety of instruments used in the bastion OST surprisingly well. 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.
