Aviator: USA Today Skullcandy Aviator Headphone Review
September 13, 2012
If you insist on listening to music after (or during) a gnarly day on the slopes, these musical earmuffs might appeal to you. With a high maximum volume and decent tracking, these over-ear headphones can provide a bumpin' soundtrack while you think about how extreme you were out on the hill.
Clearly these headphones aren't for everyone, but for someone willing to shell out extra dough for non-vanilla studio headphones, these beasts beat the Monster Beats in construction and sound.
Aviator: Skullcandy Aviator
May 1, 2012
Publication: InnerFidelity.com
"The way it was, is not the way it is." - Jamie Oman, Skullcandy Director of Product Developement
Over the course of two days I had conversations with Dan Levine, Executive VP and Chief Marketing Officer; Pete Kelly, Director of Industrial Design; and Jamie Oman, Director of Product Developement for Skullcandy.
I asked very direct questions about their intentions from the outset, and throughout the design and development process with regard to the sound quality goals of the Aviators, and I was pleasantly surprised with the answers.
About 2 1/2 years ago, Rick Alden (Skullcandy's founder) decided that Skullcandy needed to be in the game as a serious headphone maker. I think a little context is in order: "in the game" and "serious" is not expressed by these guys in the smooth tones of suited corporate MBA drones. These guys ride boards on snow and surf; they see themselves as just one division of the action-sports army; the one there to provide the tunes. From Skullcandy's SEC filing:
"Our brand symbolizes youth and rebellion, and embodies our motto, "Every revolution needs a soundtrack."
When their "serious" talk about "getting in the game" contained phrases like "successfully implement our growth strategy" or "manufacturer selection and qualification program" or "stylizing a previously-commoditized product and capitalizing on the increasing pervasiveness, portability and personalization of music," it felt a lot more like they were saying "I popped a kick-flip to Nollie on the bench, then smooved a 5-0 grind to Caballerial on the concrete, dude" than some soulless accountant-speak. I liked these guys. In the last two years they've double their engineering staff; spent a half-million bucks on R&D gear for labs here in the States and at their facility in China; and have gotten so serious about premium product this statement appears as one of five major growth strategies in their SEC filing:
"Grow Our Premium Product Offering." - To date, the vast majority of our products have been priced in the $10 to $70 range. With our recently introduced $150 Aviator headphones and $250 Mix Master headphones, we have begun to expand our premium headphone offering and believe we can increase our share of this growing market. By offering premium products, we believe we can further strengthen our brand and broaden our reach to consumers with greater discretionary income. "
After a couple of hours on the phone with these guys, I hung-up quite convinced there is a remarkably good possibility we will be hearing better sounding headphones from Skullcandy in the future.
The terrifically good looking Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator (from $149) is also the best sounding "lifestyle" headphone I've heard to date ... by a wide margin. Head-to-head with all headphones of its type and price, the Aviator compares well against the established bests-of-breed. Understandably, the Aviator falls a bit short in bass extension when compared to the cans with larger earpieces and tighter seals around the ear; but it bests most in its ability to deliver a wonderfully balanced and cheerful sound.
If you don't want to walk around with a fugly-black-but-maybe-slightly-better-sounding-lump-of-highly-engineered-plastic on your head, you'll be glad to know I'm giving the Aviators a big thumbs-up with my left hand ... and throwing up an index finger and pinky up with my right. Highly, highly recommended.
Makes Your Music BETTER
August 8th, 2014
I have had several SkullCandys, This is the most money I have spent on a pair of headphones, So I was VERY pleased to see they came with a very sturdy travel case for protection. The detachable cord is proper. And as far as "over the ear" models go... These are it. Good looking, and the sound is PROPER. Any excuse you have to listen to music with your aviators, you take it. Perfect Bass, The only thing I can say I wish the box contained is one of the small zipper packs for the detachable cord. But If you have had SK's before you prob have some laying around so they dont get tangled. I waited for 8 months to save up for these, and I was not disappointed. -DJ

Awesome Skullcandy Headphones
May 18th, 2014
I am an avid Skullcandy fan. I have the Realtree Crushers, Black Hesh 2, and now my new Brown and Gold Aviators. When I got these I was pumped, the build quality is fantastic. The headphones are made almost completely out of leather and metal which is a plus. They are very light weight. You won't even notice them on your head. The sound quality is excellent. The highs are great but not perfect, the mids are outstanding, and the lows are also great. I would recommend listening to rock, jazz, soul, R&B, and artist along the lines of Cashmere Cat. These are way better than Beats by the way. Skullcandy completely outdid themselves with this one. Great job again Skullcandy!

Better In Their Own Way
May 1st, 2014
Campared these to my shure and ATH m50s. These things are beasts with the right set up A bit smoother than the m50's... (less bass though) So much more relaxing on jazz music than the m50's... It did not sound better than the shures but this headphone brought a smile to my face. I dunno they just make me happy.. Really solid sound for a skull candy headphone... Good job guys.
Skullcandy Aviators

At first I was all hyped up about these headphones and couldn't wait to get some hard drum and bass playing on them. Much to my dismay they had little to no bass off of my sony MP3 player. The more I played with them I realized I could get some head rumbling if I hooked them up to a full blown equalizer and tweaked the levels. Yes they will produce some amazing bass, it just takes some effort. After a while I tried them with some old school rock and a bit of metal and it blew me away as to how clear they were. Would definitely recommend them for less bass based music. Also I destroy most everything that is weak within three months (long line of broken headphones) but these seem to be well built. The whole reason they caught my eye was the metal connecting the cups to the band itself (which is where most of mine have broken in the past)

Good stuff but BURN THEM!
March 26th, 2014
These are my first pair of expensive headphones and I bought them about 3 months ago. When I first plugged them in they actually did not sound that hot at all (The first song I played was from celldweller which is a hard artist to master because its hard-rock mixed with electronic) , But they kept opening up (or maybe it was my ear getting used to it and now they sound allot more OPEN and CRISP.) These headphones honestly don't do that well with some rock bands and rock songs due to them actually being so clear (they still act better in these situations than reg. headphones or dre's duh). However, They sound SOLID when in a quiet room and are listening to more strings or vocal- sound oriented music (Singer songwriters) or something like Aviicii (Drake's new album actually sounds really nice on these). I'm also not a bass-head, but these are not EXTREMELY bass heavy. Which is perfectly fine for me ( I look for clarity and overall balance). They also look great which is a nice bonus. They are comfy but hurt my right ear after LONG sessions (I'm talking a very long time here) But honestly, Play some Eric Benet or Adele on these and they will amaze. 8)

Worth the buy
March 15th, 2014
The Aviator Headphones have very clear, high sound quality while also being very comfortable. I was impressed when I first received them and have been using them for about 2-3 years now. Their main downside is they are prone to malfunction. However I still recommend these to anyone who enjoy a great listening experience - just be prepared to request a new cable from time to time. My experience with their replacements/warranty policy has been very good.

Amazing Sound Quality
February 7th, 2014
I've been a fan of SkullCandy for a number of years, and I have yet to be let down. These are quality products. I believe I have found the one brand I will stand by for many years to come. Onto this product though. I first got it because, they looked pretty awesome. They had a retro look and with this color scheme look like something a fighter pilot would wear in WW2. The sound quality is better than any other headphones I've used to date. They are also very comfortable and fit nicely over my ears. The band rests nicely on my head as well. If I had one complaint, it's that I'm not sure if the mic works or how to get the buttons on the cord to raise or lower the volume, in this respect I like my old SkullCrushers with the dial.

"music to my ear-holes.
August 18th, 2013
I bought these headphones as a quick replacement before a long plane ride, read reviews most raved about them some said beats were better, but it is my belief that the Skullcandy Aviator's blow the beats out of the water. As of today i have had my Aviator's for just under a year and they have already amazed me. The sound quality is Impressive for the price, The highs are sharp and precise, The mid is clear (not fuzzy like other overly-priced brands) and the Bass while underwhelming is thoroughly satisfying. The build quality is out of this world the actual headphones themselves are made with aluminum, a leather head cushion and plastic for the caps. now i am not exactly gentle with my headphones but no matter what they still look like they did out of the box. The ear cups are plush and comfy and haven't lost their shape at all. The removable cable is durable and reliable, they have out-lasted Three Beats cables. Really the only con I have found is they leak like a cardboard house and have barely any sound isolation. But at the end of the day if you want a set of headphones that for a low low price will rock your socks off, buy em!!!

Great sound, comfort, and look. I am a drummer, and I play with Westone UM3x's. My Aviator's line up in a similar class to my Westones. This is a huge testament to the Aviators sound quality. In addition, Skullcandy's customer service is impeccable, as they will replace your product without question, quickly, in the case that something breaks. So if you want some superb sounding headphones, order these. Trust me- these Aviators are a way better value than any Beats.

Owned a pair of these for 2 years, when all of a sudden, the sound stopped working on one side. I contacted customer service, sent in my headphones, and one day after receiving my package, they sent me an email for a new pair! 3 days later, I received them! Great customer service, Skullcandy! The lifetime warranty is great and I am loving my new headphones and the new design! Just like my last pair, the sound quality is amazing and the headphones are still so comfortable. Thank you so much Skullcandy and hats off to your excellent customer service!

Excellent but...
May 2nd, 2013
The first pair I got of these was wonderful, I got it in black, and I only had them for a couple months. But then as I was putting them on one night one side did not have any audio in the ear. So I got the warranty and got a new pair. The second pair was red and it looks really stylish and I have really enjoyed the sound quality. My main complaint for these headphones is the build quality, my experience as far as build quality has not been good. I'm on my second pair right now and there is rattling in one ear, and it's not in very good condition for only being 2 months old. In conclusion these are better than any beats headphones you could buy for a cheaper price and the sound quality is amazing for the price, but the build quality is not up to par for me but I would still recommend these to anyone just because of there stylish look.

Not the airport headphones lol :) Excellent when equalized!
April 10th, 2013
Excellent Balanced Headphones To start off the Aviators are constructed very well. I've owned a lot of skullcandy headphones and the Aviators have the best construction. Sorry 300$ Mix Masters :P The leather and the shape of the earcups make them very comfortable, the thin metal in the headband makes them flexible so you shouldn't be afraid of breaking them. Sound is amazing too. For the Bass freaks they will not satisfy. In the other hand the mids and highs sound natural and with no distortion. I equalize my music and I got a very favorable amount of bass with high dB on the lower frequencies. The aviators still handled it. Along with them the cable is very nice until the threads begin to loosen then it will tangle but in durability it will still work. The case is beautifully made of leather and has good detail in it. It keeps them from scratches and clean. For the price, get them! They are light comfortable and sound great; even better if you equalize your music!

Another Success by Skullcandy.
January 18th, 2013
I have owned a pair of aviators for over 5 months now, and they have not shown any sign of wear. They are very durable, as well as super stylish, nice to wear around the neck. They are also ridiculously comfortable, light to the touch, but play some music and they blow you away. These are the clearest cans I've ever heard, despite my range of headphones I've used. Beats, Senheiser, to name a few. The bass is tight and strong, not overpowering, but enough to maintain a spotlight for the crisp mids and clear highs. They are well rounded for any genre of music, an they are certainly the greatest cans in their price range. I would highly recommend these to anyone, as they can take on any music genre with ease.

A great alternative to Beats!
January 2nd, 2013
I was lucky enough to try these alongside a selection of Sennheiser, Beats, Fender and a few other makes. Of the lot the top end aluminium beats are still the king - JUST. At twice the price the Aviators walk all over them, i was lucky enough to be given a pair of white ones for Christmas and are the best headphones i've owned, fantastic spacialisation, great drive at the bottom end, clear and precise treble delivery, they deliver almost everything the beats ones do for a lot less investment. The memory foam ear pads make them incredibly easy to wear for long periods of time, they maybe don't shut out as much noise as the beats but the sound delivery makes up for it. If you're seriously considering paying out over £300 for a set of Beats headphones please try these first - you won't be disappointed, I know i'm not!

I just got the customized aviators and they are great! the sound quality is great and are very comfortable.

Simply Amazing

I'm only 16 but I have heard many pairs of headphones. Skullcandy did an amazing job with these headphones. The vocal are angel perfect and the bass is just right. These don't have bass that will make your ears hurt, it is just perfect. Vocals are like a church choir. Mids are hit perfect and lows and highs are mid blowing. I'm not Skullcandy fanboy, or no paid promoter, I'm just a kid with the low of music and great appreciation of whoever can enhance the music in which i listen to.

Good sound, Mediocre everything else
November 14th, 2012
In terms of sound, they are a great value and offer very compelling high, mids, and lows. I am literally hearing things in my music that my old earbuds never produced. They have good fidelity and handle any volume level very well, never allowing a frequency to be washed out or overpowered. For most audiophiles they should be able to meet their need for a wide range of balanced sound while staying true to the source. I will say, however, for the mainstream listeners who enjoy profuse amounts of bass, these may leave you feeling a little underwhelmed. Personally, I enjoy the fidelity over the "boom" factor of bass. Unfortunately, I cannot use these because they offer literally no sound isolation, external or internal sound. On both side of the cups there is simply too much unintended noise being emitted to allow for an enjoyable listening experience when you aren't in a quiet, and isolated place. Any levels above half your volume scale and your seat neighbor on the bus WILL hear the sequels of whatever you're listening to. Likewise, anything below half your volume scale and you will hear every sniffle, snort, mumble and roar that is happening around you. I use public transportation all the time and walk all around my college campus and am rarely in quiet or private places, therefore I need to isolation both ways and these headphones simply do not offer any whatsoever. Also, the braided wire transmits a lot of noise through the left cup, a problem exacerbated by large winter jacket collars that rub the wire when walking, which again, I do a lot of. Finally, while build quality seems above average, I was disappointed with the color-matching of the frame and cups for this red model. The painted red metal and the plastic red are two completely different hues that look cheap when you see them together. The plastic red appears lighter than the painted metallic parts which reminds me of the way plastics fade when subjected to too much sun exposure. This is a problem exclusive to the red headsets though, and shouldn't be a problem on the other headset color combos that intend to have different color finishes and hues.

Good Experience Overall
November 2nd, 2012
These are excellent headphones. The sound is excellent. The comfort is wonderful. They style is obviously awesome. One flaw, I am going on my 3rd pair because the cord broke on two of them. I use them very often, probably way more than the average person. But, it's just normal use, and the cord should be designed to handle years of normal use, not months. However, because of the lifetime warranty, and the exceptional service I have received from Skullcandy. I still give them 5 stars overall. The pros far outweigh the one con.

Style, comfort, sound quality, these are all factors to consider when buying headphones. Most headphones focus on one and sacrifice in another area. There are ultra stylish and comfortable headphones that sound like total garbage, and then there are cans that produce sound from the gods and look like something a gargoyle might regurgitate. However, skullcandy saw this problem in the world of headphones and decided to do something about it; introducing the Skullcandy Aviator. These cans not only surpass the competition in style and comfort but also sound quality. Finally a good looking pair of sturdy headphones that sound good...wait not good, AMAZING! The sound staging (imaging) of the aviator is superb. You can really hear the depth in the music as it surrounds you and draws you in. For sure the forte in terms of sound are the vocals and mid highs. The balance is spectacular and makes for a very enjoyable headphone. The bass is very clean but at times it doesn't extend into the lower octaves. I would recommend these headphones to someone who likes rock, alternative, metal, classical, or any other vocal/mids and high focused. For stuff like dubstep, rap, drum and bass, and other bass heavy genres I would go with the Hesh 2.0 or if you are willing to spend a little more then defiantly go for the Mix Masters. for sound I give it a more than respectable 9/10. As far as build quality you can't beat the Aviators. Sure Skullcandy has had quality issues in the past but my goodness they did their best work on making these cans bulletproof. The earcup adjustment is very tight and gives you reassuring clicks as you move the housings up and down. The folding motion is very fluid and has just enough resistance to prevent the speakers from flopping around uselessly. (8/10) Now comfort. No question these are one of the most comfortable headphones on the market. The deep leather earpads sit perfectly on you head and provide just the right amount of cushion. The overall weight is very low so the headband won't fatigue your head. One complaint I do have is the poor sound isolation. In loud environments it can be difficult to hear your music, however at loud volumes it can be tolerated. The noise leakage is very low so others won't hear what you're listening to when you blast the tunes. (10/10 for comfort, 5/10 for isolation) In the end these are extremely desirable headphones that are outrageously comfortable, sound amazing, look fantastic, built like a tank, and hold the best warranty known to mankind. I can say I have suggested these to all of my friends that have asked about a new pair of headphones in this price range and will continue to do so until someone can match the value, quality, comfort, style, and sound of these amazing headphones. Skullcandy you know what you are doing! Keep pumpin' cans out and rock on!!

The first edition were good, I'm expecting this new style to be AWESOME
September 30th, 2012
Was looking for a good quality pair of headphones at a fair price. Beats were to much and plastic, as with the rest of the popular head phones. Did my research online, went to best buy and tried them. I bought the all black. At the time, there were only 2 color combos. Fell in love with them. Between music, laptop, and broadcasting, I wore them constantly for almost 2 months. Until the headphone jack started going bad. Used a piece of heat shrink tubing to help fix the issue. Month later, they stopped working all together. Was so upset I just put them in my closet. I watched a review on the newer style (by accident actually) and noticed the new model has a user replaceable head phone cable (which they should have done in the first place). I am super excited about this, and will be shipping my broken ones out ASAP and eagerly awaiting my replacement code so I can pick up the new style, in green and black. I have to say, these headphones provide great quality sound across the board, are durable and super comfortable. Now that the cord issue (which has happened to every pair of headphones I have owned) is user replaceable, I don't see me ever buying another style headphones (as long as I can order a second cord or they can add one in when I get my replacements, I do not see them on the site at this time). Side note: When you first buy them, the highs are a bit tinny. Give them time. Like all High quality headphones, the speaker drivers need to break in. I would plug mine into a music source and play dubstep for about 1.5 hours straight every night for a week at around 65% volume. I didnt even listen to them, just left them sitting in the other room while I did other things. Helped break them in real quick.

I got fixed up with these after breaking my G.I's (thanks to lifetime warranty!) and I have to say these headphones are by far the most crisp and clear sounding headphone in every aspect of sound quality. I personally listen to DUBSTEP and these headphones keep the bass heavy with no distortion what so ever. An even clearer experience with rock and acoustic. I thought the bass could have a little more kick, but listening to other branded headphones, the bass in these will make you a proud owner of such excellent headphones. Build quality = 9/10 Looks = 10/10 Overall = Amazing headphone, well worth the money with lifetime warranty, can't ask for anything more.

Great for rock and metal!
August 25th, 2012
The sound quality is very crisp and clear! I have owned two skullcrushers for about a year now, as with skullcrushers the bass is to over powering with rock and metal genres of music and makes it hard to hear the words in the songs. So, I decided to get the Aviators because I heard from another metal head that they were great for rock and metal. I totally agree with my friend they are ideal for rock and metal! Don't get me wrong the bass is still really good for rap and dubstep! There are only two things I think that could pose a problem; one is the cord is small in width which could be easily lost, and second thing is the sound canceling is to the greatest, it blocks about 50% of room noise. But over all I would recommend the Aviators for anyone who enjoys music in excellent sound quality! They are worth every penny! 5 out of 5 stars hands down!

Roc Nation Aviators
July 19th, 2012
I have been a big fan of Skullcandy for awhile now and when i saw the Aviators for the first time i immediately wanted them. I could only hope they would sound as good as they look which they do. Most people buy headphones instead of earbuds because of the Bass and these really bang the drums even at low volume. Couldn't ask for a better logo on the brand either, Roc Nation is pretty sick and i'm a fan, which gave me another reason to save up for a pair. Don't go buying Dr. Dre Beats thinking there the best..... because they're not. They're just over-rated and over-priced. Have some style and go get a pair of these instead. Even the box they came in was pretty amazing.....i kept that too.

I've had Aviators before, Brown/Gold combo, but they were the old model that didn't feature a detachable cord. These headphones are top notch. SUPER comfortable, I've been wearing them since this morning when I got them and no discomfort whatsoever. Its like clouds on my ears. Sound quality is brilliant as well. Bass is controlled yet prominent, not muddy or anything. Not too much or too little; Its just right. Treble and clarity are fantastic, very crisp and warm sounding.

Music FOR My Ears
May 17th, 2012
I bought these headphones a couple of weeks ago after considering Soul by Ludacris, and comparably priced Sennheiser and Grado cans. To be honest, the looks got my attention first. How many brown headphones are there on the market anyway - especially with translucent cups?? And, even with listening in the store, there's no great way to really test cans in a store environment. Testing them out with my music over the last couple of weeks, I realized these are some great cans for the $150 price tag. I love the balanced approach to sound - the realization that music includes trebles and mids AS WELL AS bass (I'm looking at YOU, Dr. Dre!) I love all kinds of music, so that balanced approach comes in handy when I'm listening to classical, jazz, salsa, doo-wop, r&b, etc. After the pleasant surprise of how these beauties sound, I fell in love with all the thoughtful touches that make up the whole package - the folding cups, the soft leather carrying case, and most of all, the subtle styling that says "Skullcandy has arrived." Someone, either the RocNation team, Skullcandy designers - or maybe even Jay Zee himself - realized that subtlety can speak volumes. The red RocNation liner inside the carrying case, the (barely there) skull imprint on the case, the small gold skull accents on the headphone band, well done! Something else that represents welcome attention to detail - the nylon wrapped ear wire that is detachable. These days, a detachable ear wire is a "must have" in any set of cans over $100. The nylon wrapping reduces tangling. I am glad I coughed up the $150 for these cans. Now, here's why I gave only 3 stars for "value." There's a mic/volume/playback control close to the top of the ear wire. For one thing, it's too close. Most importantly, it only works with ipod/iphones. Supposedly it works with other smartphones, but I have an Android smartphone and the mechanism doesn't work. There are plenty of other lower-priced headphones on the market with this type of mechanism that is compatible with all kinds of devices -not just Apple devices. It's a chintzy touch to an otherwise stellar product. Still, these are terrific headphones, retro styling and faithful sound reproduction in one very cool package.

Honest Review by Loyal Customer
May 11th, 2012
The sound is crisp. The mids and highs are on point, and the bass is there, but not as "boom" as they should be in my opinion. I understand, you weren't going for a bassy phone, but sometimes I have to listen for the bass. My 2011 Chrome FMJ buds had 3x the bass and still a clear range of sounds. I also really miss the see-through plastic lenses. That was a really cool feature unique to the black and brown Aviators and a real selling point. It was also where the character of these phones came from. Being able to see the driver and mechanics reminded me of looking at a pair of aviators. The pouch and boxing was incredible though, as always.
Can't Recommend Highly Enough
May 10th, 2012
I received these and absolutely love them. They look great, feel even better and the sounds they produce is the best I've ever heard from Skullcandy. They handle bass with ease and high-tones equally as well. You'll almost forget you're wearing them even after wearing them for a long time. I'm always getting comments on how to they look and the quality of their built. I simply can't recommend these highly enough.

Sound = Amazing, Comfort = Most Amazing
May 9th, 2012
I've tried several over ear headphones, and these are by far my favorite. I had some other headphones at a similar price point, and these are 10 times better. The sound quality is great, listening to any type of music. I've used these on the plane, and while they aren't noise cancelling, they sure do get loud enough to make you forget you are on the plane, without bursting your ears. My favorite thing about these headphones though, is the comfort. I have my headphones on all day at work, and these are sooo much more comfortable than anything I've found. The cushion around the ears is so, so nice. The band that goes over and sits on top of your head is soft and never digs in. I used to have to take other headphones off after a few hours, but these babies last me through the whole day.
Best Skullcandy Product
May 9th, 2012
Sound lives up the the supreme sound name. Very good build, im not sure if i like the change from metal to plastic in the main bars on the headphones. I like the detachable wire simply because it makes it easier to store the headphones and its give them greater durability. Plus ive heard that if the wire breaks you just have to send in the wire and theyll send you a new one, instead of having to send in the headhones themself. The mic, track control and volume buttons work great. Vioce control on my ipod is smooth and accurate. Volume change is easy and very convinient. The comfort is very, very good. When you first put these babies on they just feel natural. No pressure points, no shallow padding. Some people question whether the headband will be uncomforable, not the case, it provides a very natural fit that doesnt cause discomfort. Overall a very good pair of cans :)

These headphones were exactly what I was searching for. To start it off they sound great, look great, and feel great. Love the in line music player controls. They store away great in the backpack when you should be paying attention to things other than your music, and don't come out scratched up with a tangled mess of a cord. The shiny bits are still shiny, the clear bits are still crystal clear, and no amount of listening will leave your ears sore. I'm glad there is a lifetime warranty because these are the only headphones I ever want to use

Really Love these
April 19th, 2012
These headphones are just what I needed. I thought about getting Beats and Soul Headphones, but I had a preference for some headphones that were portable and JUST enough sound for gaming/listening to music and videos on my laptop/imac/ipod/ipad. They fit perfectly in my travel bag and they don't break as easily compared to my previous headphones. Yes, you could find better quality headphones, but I would recommend these for a person who is looking for a casual headset for style and on-the-go. You can take the wiring out which is beneficial to sticking it easily in a travel bag since most headsets have the cord permanently attached to the headset. I think the pricing is reasonable. A good headset which will last you for quite a while usually costs between 100-200 dollars at a minimal.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Frikin amazing!
April 12th, 2012
I have had these headphones for 8 months now and from the time i first put them on to now, they have been simply fantastic! Before i bought them i tried the beats studios just to see what the fuss was about... it was all talk & very little walk. I tried the Bose and that was wonderful also, the thing that the Bose had was the noise cancellation; but these had the style sound quality and appeal that the Bose was missing. Totally worth every penny!

Awesome Headphones
March 30th, 2012
I had a pair of Hesh and my last headphones were $200+ noise cancelling ones. The aviators have the same drivers as the hesh (so sound about the same) and I like the sound better than the noise-cancelling ones (though they are not as good for in a noisy environment). they are also way more durable than Hesh (both sides of the headband snapped on those). Plus, the Aviators look sick. They may not have as much bass as some people might like, but I listen mostly to metal and these are perfect. Definitely some of the best headphones I've ever used.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

I'm a medical student = I have to block out the world's noises at times and hear ONLY what I'm listening to, in order to get work done. These are awesome. Comfortable enough to be worn all day, can't really hear much outside of them, and the quality/variability of sound is rich. The pair I bought in 2011 broke. The male plug piece broke off one day. I mailed the broken set to skullcandy and 3 weeks later I've got a free brand new replacement-pair and couldn't be happier. Excellent product, Excellent company.

I really want to 5 star these....
March 14th, 2012
...but the jack construction has me miffed. I got these headphones in December as a little xmas gift for myself and now in March, the right side cuts out intermittently. I've taken to soaking the cord area in gorilla glue to kind of hold it, but it's getting worse. For 150 dollar headphones, the sound quality is SO worth it, there's fantastic high and mid range and great (but not fake) bass. The actual headphones look amazing, the pads are comfy as heck and all, but I really expected the jack to last longer than the 15 dollar ink'd buds I used to buy all the time. And I know the warranty is going to label this as me breaking them as opposed to a defect. I recommend these highly, but get 2012 models with a detachable cord and be kind to the jack unless you want to be paying 75 dollars every 4 months.

March 8th, 2012
I simply love these headphones. They go with most of my clothes, and are super comfortable to wear. If I actually trusted the kids at my school, I'd take them to school everyday. The only thing that kind of put me off would be the cord. Oh man, that cord. I love the fact that the cord comes off, but being the ditzy busy high school girl I am, I lost the cord almost a month after I got them, and I unfortunately had to use a white audio cord. I haven't taken my Aviators out and about because it just looks so horrid. Plus, I have to adjust the ugly cord every now and then to hear the music properly. Other than that, I love my aviators and the quality they produce. Also; Aviators + Gorillaz = Awesome Sauce of Epicness that the Pope Uses on his Toast Everyday. Just Sayin.

As my Title implies, I got these for my 15th birthday. I used a good portion of the money I got to get these, and it was well worth it.

I had my dad try them on and listen to some music and he said "Wow, thats probably the best I've heard music, simply makes music better." I recommend these to anyone. Oh by the way, the comfortability is like no other, I can wear them for hours while producing.

These feel like you're wearing sound its self and the durability is awesome I have never had a pair of headphones this good and they look sweet too.

January 18th, 2012
Every aspect of these headphones are crisp and spicy. You have a metallic top that is durable. Super plush comfy cushions that don't squish your eyes out of your head. Supreme sounding music that gives you a full sound unlike other headphones. Folds for travel which I enjoy since I travel a lot and the frictionless nylon cord with the ability to detach from the head set is a fantastic element to the product. The bonus is the Mic3 that allows me to use my iPhone to talk and use voice command. It brings a lot of attention to the headphones because people are always asking, "You can talk on the phone? Where's the microphone?". Oh also golden inserts! Waaaaaaay sexy thank you Skullcandy for your ways!

Far superior to Beats
December 26th, 2011
I just received these as a Christmas present and all I can say is wow. They have great balance and the bass has just enough power to give off a rock solid feel. The look of these headphones give off a classic look that has a modern feel. They are extremely comfy, I wore them for a full 3 hours in the car and had no discomfort. The padding fits well around your ear. The value of these is well worth the $150. Compared to Beats these headphones will last you far longer and will not overload your ears with over usage of bass. If you want a great pair of headphones, buy these.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
sound perfect but overall a bit fragile
December 26th, 2011
When I first bought these I was incredibly impressed with not only the looks, which turned heads, but also are the most comfortable headphones I've had. But in terms of the build design, its a bit weak. First the head band. The two metal bars create good support good but are a bit soft and easy to bend. Also they would fit into the "channels" in the leather band but the two peices that connect the two bars are bulky and don't allow the bars to fit flush with the band.. more of a visual affect but does affect the structure of the head band. The biggest issue was the audio jack. The connection between the cord and the jack became loose, cutting out the ride side speaker. The jack overall looks weak and small. The gold-plate also started wearing off as well. Both these issues occurred only a month and a half after purchase with generous wear. Little disappointed with the construction. Which is why with the warranty I'll be trading them in for the durability of the SK Pro. These are uncharacteristic to SC's usual massive amounts of bass but sound amazing in mids which is majority of my music and doesn't hurt the experience. I think the price tag on these is a bit much considering those certain flaws in construction I feel drops the price 25-35 dollars. But I would buy another pair had these issues been resolved.

Well done Skullcandy, well done.
December 11th, 2011
I can honestly say. These headphones compete with REAL headphones. ATH-M50's, Grado Sr60i, etc etc. I can honestly tell you these are some great sounding headphones. If your looking for the typical Skullcandy Bass, look somewhere else. There is a roll off on the bass and a warm tilt through the mids. Treble is not harsh what so ever. Throughout the range, all of the notes are articulated. No more boomy bass, recessed mids and highs, you get actually decent sound! Well done. There was only a few problems for me. The earcups would not drop down low enough which baffled me because there were more stops available when fully extended. So I had to bust out my DIY skills and mod the cups to go lower. Also, these don't isolate. Practically Semi-open although intended for closed use. So again I had to mod away placing Plasticine on the baffle to get the seal that was originally intended. After all that, smooth sailing. I prefer the plasticine on the baffle to stock because of consistent positive slope throughout the frequency response.

Great for rock/ techno/pop/country

The highs and mids are excellent on these headphones! they're more clear than the beats by dre, but i do have one slight problem there isn't as much bass as I would like . especially since i owned a pair of skullcrushers before them. they're great for pretty much anything that isn't bass heavy. i tuned my equilizer on my android (power amp player app) and on itunes/my ipod to accommodate for the lack the of bass and they're quite amazing! if you're a basshead or like tons of rap music with heavy bass, then don't count too much on these to deliver.

hey just an honest oppinion... i love these heaphones. they are super comfortable and you can listen to music all day and they wolnt hurt your ears. the sound quality is exellent for those who listen to clean good sounding songs. for those of you who like dubstep or a huge amount of bass would get beats... if i were to choose between them i would pic the aviators cuz there cheaper,better, and more comfortable.

Aviator: USA Today Skullcandy Aviator Headphone Review
September 13, 2012
If you insist on listening to music after (or during) a gnarly day on the slopes, these musical earmuffs might appeal to you. With a high maximum volume and decent tracking, these over-ear headphones can provide a bumpin' soundtrack while you think about how extreme you were out on the hill.
Clearly these headphones aren't for everyone, but for someone willing to shell out extra dough for non-vanilla studio headphones, these beasts beat the Monster Beats in construction and sound.
Aviator: Skullcandy Aviator
May 1, 2012
Publication: InnerFidelity.com
"The way it was, is not the way it is." - Jamie Oman, Skullcandy Director of Product Developement
Over the course of two days I had conversations with Dan Levine, Executive VP and Chief Marketing Officer; Pete Kelly, Director of Industrial Design; and Jamie Oman, Director of Product Developement for Skullcandy.
I asked very direct questions about their intentions from the outset, and throughout the design and development process with regard to the sound quality goals of the Aviators, and I was pleasantly surprised with the answers.
About 2 1/2 years ago, Rick Alden (Skullcandy's founder) decided that Skullcandy needed to be in the game as a serious headphone maker. I think a little context is in order: "in the game" and "serious" is not expressed by these guys in the smooth tones of suited corporate MBA drones. These guys ride boards on snow and surf; they see themselves as just one division of the action-sports army; the one there to provide the tunes. From Skullcandy's SEC filing:
"Our brand symbolizes youth and rebellion, and embodies our motto, "Every revolution needs a soundtrack."
When their "serious" talk about "getting in the game" contained phrases like "successfully implement our growth strategy" or "manufacturer selection and qualification program" or "stylizing a previously-commoditized product and capitalizing on the increasing pervasiveness, portability and personalization of music," it felt a lot more like they were saying "I popped a kick-flip to Nollie on the bench, then smooved a 5-0 grind to Caballerial on the concrete, dude" than some soulless accountant-speak. I liked these guys. In the last two years they've double their engineering staff; spent a half-million bucks on R&D gear for labs here in the States and at their facility in China; and have gotten so serious about premium product this statement appears as one of five major growth strategies in their SEC filing:
"Grow Our Premium Product Offering." - To date, the vast majority of our products have been priced in the $10 to $70 range. With our recently introduced $150 Aviator headphones and $250 Mix Master headphones, we have begun to expand our premium headphone offering and believe we can increase our share of this growing market. By offering premium products, we believe we can further strengthen our brand and broaden our reach to consumers with greater discretionary income. "
After a couple of hours on the phone with these guys, I hung-up quite convinced there is a remarkably good possibility we will be hearing better sounding headphones from Skullcandy in the future.
The terrifically good looking Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator (from $149) is also the best sounding "lifestyle" headphone I've heard to date ... by a wide margin. Head-to-head with all headphones of its type and price, the Aviator compares well against the established bests-of-breed. Understandably, the Aviator falls a bit short in bass extension when compared to the cans with larger earpieces and tighter seals around the ear; but it bests most in its ability to deliver a wonderfully balanced and cheerful sound.
If you don't want to walk around with a fugly-black-but-maybe-slightly-better-sounding-lump-of-highly-engineered-plastic on your head, you'll be glad to know I'm giving the Aviators a big thumbs-up with my left hand ... and throwing up an index finger and pinky up with my right. Highly, highly recommended.

Are you as sick and tired as I am over the on-field antics of athletes
and coaches? Watching yesterday's SF-Carolina game brought it to a boil
for me. It's bad enough when the players have to celebrate every play
like they won the Super Bowl. But then we have to look at the antics of a
coach like Jim Harbaugh and the pot boils over. Make no mistake,
Harbaugh as been very successful at every stop. He's an excellent X's
and O's coach (although his time-out skills are not good). And I also
realize that pro football is an emotional game. But that is no excuse
for his sideline tantrums. Of course the TV cameras love that
crap...they will focus on his every meltdown. And in many cases, as goes
the coach so go the players. Why should players control their emotions
when their coach is a raving lunatic. Even Troy Aikman took Anquin
Boldin to task for his constant post-play jawing...said he was tired of
watching it. Me too. And its not just Harbaugh. There are many other
examples like Illinois basketball coach John Groce and Indiana head man
Tom Crean. Even Bo Ryan at times, although his histrionics are mostly
contained to his long list of facial expressions .
I've coached Legion baseball for over 30 years and in my early days I was as out of control as these guys. Got tossed out on a regular basis. In my mind every blown call was a personal attack by the officials that needed to addressed...usually in the loudest and most profane terms possible. I have come to realize that my histrionics accomplished nothing except causing me to watch many games from the parking lot. If the officials (who are not very good anymore) want to curb this stuff...throw a few more flags like they did after Harbaugh rushed the field yesterday. Toss a few more coaches out like they did with Iowa head man Fran McCaffrey against the Badgers.
Sports are emotional...I get that...but a part of being a coach or
athlete is controlling those emotions and that is something that is
quickly becoming a lost skill and we need to find it again.

The pastors of many churches demonstrate their faith by serving the community. But now a new reality show on preachers is painting a very different picture, and not everyone is happy with what they're seeing.
A promo for Oxygen's new series called "Preachers of L.A." takes the criticism head on: that the preachers featured are more interested in living like superstars than spreading the word of God.
The show is only two episodes into the new season, but Rev. Michael Faulkner of Harlem's New Horizon Church says he's already seen more than enough.
"These guys are so off the wall they give the Church a bad name, they give preachers a bad name, they give TV a bad name," Faulkner said.
Bishop T.D. Jakes, a bestselling author, film producer and pastor, reminded his Dallas congregation that unlike the preachers on the show, his checking account doesn't get cash from their contributions.
"Now I know you've been watching that junk on TV and I want to tell you right now: not a dime of what you're sowing right now will buy my suit," Jakes said in a recent sermon. "I want you to know my car is paid for, I want you to know I got my house on my own, I want you to know I am not bling bling and I am not shake and bake, I had money when I came to Dallas."
Reverend Faulkner runs youth, family assistance, leadership, and employment programs. He said he is concerned about the show reinforcing negative stereotypes.
"It certainly sends the wrong message for people that are not familiar with it -- the church or African American preachers -- because they just don't know," Faulkner said. "They go 'Oh, everybody's like that' or 'those large churches are like that.' They do not represent the mainstream of the church."
Fox Five reached out to the show's producers through the Oxygen network to ask them about this controversy.
"As pastors' kids ourselves who have spent most of our lives in and around the faith community, we recognize and appreciate the unique role that pastors play in the lives of their congregations, as well as the pressures that are regularly placed on them and their families," said executive producers Lemuel Plummer and Holly Carter in an emailed statement. "We think the fascinating personal stories of these powerful, dynamic and very public men of God are truly compelling and deserve to be told, and are very pleased to be working with Oxygen to do so."

Morning DiscussionHow is everyone doing today? I zonked out a bit early last night, still trying to get rid of whatever is going around. Busy day though, with Rocket Race enthusiasm bringing it into mainstream Halo 3. I wonder how people will react? Probably just like they mistreat Oddball with vetoes. :( Don't they know it's only the best melee weapon? Poor Skulley.
Still more stuff to bring together this morning, but I think we'll run a contest in the chatty today too. We have two copies of Gears of War PC, courtesy of Microsoft and Epic. In order to qualify, post your best co-op gaming story in this thread, and we'll post winners tomorrow.

By Fox 2 News StaffSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Psychiatrist Dr. Joel Young from Beaumont Hospital says he's getting more calls for help from parents concerned about their children in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings.Dr. Young recently was recently interviewed by Fox 2.Tell us a little bit about some of the calls that you've been receiving."We're getting phone calls much of the year, but particularly after this terrible tragedy, parents, particularly parents who have troubled teenagers, are calling us very concerned. We're getting calls from parents. We're getting calls from schools. We're getting calls from police departments, as well."Are parents more fearful now that their child could become violent in the wake of Sandy Hook?"I think this is a very rare event, and I think we have to focus on that issue. This does not happen that terribly frequently, although in the past several years and months much more frequently than is acceptable. Parents, particularly those who know their children have a predilection for violence, are very much concerned about this. It's a very hard thing to predict."One of the blogs written in the wake of the Sandy Hook Shootings was from a mother that said, "I am Adam Lanza's mother," and there is a wave of parents across the country that feel the same way. Are you seeing an increase in young people with these kinds of mental problems and, if so, why?"I'm not so sure there's more in 2012 than there was in 1952. I think we're better at identifying it. Perhaps there is somewhat less stigma, but there's a small percentage of individuals and families that have these very troubled children like Adam. And those families are very isolated and they really don't have support and they often really are shunned. And even many of us feel like there's some type of parenting problem when, in fact, the problem is these are very difficult children, some of whom a parent has to manage for 18, 19, 20 years with really very little help from the outside."What actually happens to these young people?"Certainly any one individual it's hard to predict exactly what's going to happen. If you take this group as a whole, if you treat them, if you identify their various psychiatric problems and treat their psychiatric problems, then as a whole, as a group, we decrease the risk, and that's what we need to do is decrease risk because these violent impulses are just very much apparent."As for some of the signs your child needs help..."So when we have children who are expressing feelings of hopelessness, if we see them socially isolated, those are children that we worry about. If they have an increase (in) discipline with schools and in families and they start saying terrible things or violent things, those are those that we worry about. If they have a preoccupation with violence, those are often the families that are calling us. Particularly those that feel victimized or ostracized, they feel like people are against them, even paranoid ideations, those are clearly children at greater risk."Nancy Lanza, Adam's mother, knew she had a problem child and yet she had assault weapons in her home. If indeed we have children and we worry about their mental state, what should we do with the weapons in our houses."What a terrible decision to have violent weapons... with an impulsive child. There is an absolute rule. If your child or young adult has a predilection for violence, they should not be near guns. Guns should be taken out of their home, particularly those with high capacity magazines.""Mental health professionals need also to emphasize this importance of separating children from weapons."

Four days after being arrested, James Holmes, accused of killing twelve people and injuring dozens more in a Colorado theater, is still being questioned. Investigators are likely asking one question. Why."It's horrendously personal," said Birmingham psychiatrist Dr. Howard Belkin. He explained killers can be classified into three categories."An absolutely normal person that gets overwhelmed with a situation reacts, does it out of a sense of frustration. There can also be the type that are the sociopaths or the anti-social personalities. They really have no respect for society's rules, think they can do exactly what they want to do when they want to do it, and they act out on these really terrible thoughts."Then there are people like James Holmes, who told investigators he was the Joker from the Batman movie, even dying his hair color red like the character. Delusional at best."That sounds to me like a psychotic symptom. That sounds to me like a delusion. A delusion is a fixed false belief. It's something that someone believes they are or they have or they've heard that's clearly not true. Clearly this appears to be a fixed belief. It's obviously a false belief," Belkin said.Initial reports indicated that Holmes' mother said "you have the right person" when asked by a reporter about how son being a suspect. Experts say we should all be watching our loved ones closely."Sometimes when people are closest to someone, they may have a feeling that the person could do something horrendous, and a parent who knows the child well and who's been able to speak to the child, especially in a recent period of time, may have an idea in the back of their mind," said Belkin.Experts are also urging people to watch loved ones' behavior and point out that they're aware of suspicious activity. Holmes, investigators say, was stockpiling weapons in the weeks leading up to the shooting. Help is never far away to keep a disturbed person from crossing into the danger zone."If we know somebody who has a tendency towards violence, perhaps a tendency towards hurting other people, they've committed a violent act in the past, it's someone that you always want to keep a watch out for," Belkin remarked.Belkin said if you feel like you're loved one has a problem and is maybe teetering on the edge of dangerous to call a therapist. If you don't feel comfortable with that right away, at least take them to the family doctor. They usually know the patients well enough to tell if something just isn't right.
