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.

They’re not bad at all, even if they are a little steep...They fold up for travel, they’re comfortable and extremely light, and they come with a handsome leather case. So if you need a set of over-the-ear headphones that can squeeze into a fanny pack, the Aviators are a good choice.

Skullcandy's Roc Nation Aviator headphones look cool and can handle some serious bass without distorting, but the overall audio performance is not in line with the price.

There is often an air of suspicion surrounding...co-branded headphones...adding a famous face...into the mix can be seen as a quick way of charging premium price for standard goods...Fortunately this doesn't appear to be the case here, with solid and clear audio...proving them to be real contenders.
