Skullcandy Aviator Headphones Mic3 (Eric Koston Collab)

Product Information

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. 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. It's been quite a few months since I've had these and in that time. I've had the opportunity to listen to some amazing phones when I re-cabled them. Specifically the Beyerdynamic DT770.

The majority of Skullcandy headphones appeal to the younger market that values bass response over all other instruments, but the Roc Nation Aviators have a sound signature that sways more toward the midrange, with a balanced treble sparkle comparable to the Klipsch Image One headphones.I used " friends on mushrooms" by infected mushroom to see how they did with some energetic and heavy EDM. In buying a Skullcandy headphone, you will find the build quality quite robust and dense. However, the plastic yoke they provide is not as durable as the rest of the design. The build quality is a mix bag, on one head the metal reinforcements makes the headphones quite sturdy with minimal flexing and no creaking. But the plastic cup and rims are cheap slimy fingerprint magnets with one drop scratched the brass rims and opened a gap between the seam and the cup. I'd be careful with these. If you are a hardcore audio junkie, Beats might be a much preferable option for you since their overall soundproofing, bass boosting, and technological aspects are superior to that of Skullcandy. When it comes to comfort, Beats has some upper hands over Skullcandy. Beats headphones are mostly a perfect fit for everyone as you can customize it using software and adjustment clips. In addition, Beats headphones feature heavy padding that enables you to use them for longer listening sessions.

Both companies have customer support in place for their products. Even though Skullcandy is a refined audio brand, they are still behind in earning as much customers’ trust as Beats. section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}} The Skullcandy Aviators have a fairly high impedance, low sensitivity.section_header}}{{section.name}}{{/section_header}} The Aviators don't sport bad audio quality, but it really feels like you're paying for the style effect. Ultimately, we preferred the accuracy and overall fullness of audio on the Aviators to the overwhelming bass and distorted highs on the Loops. Phone Calls The wireless headphones by Skullcandy also have a long-lasting battery life that could be useful for a lot of frequent travelers. Their line of products has round and padded ear cups that are comforting to hear for an extended time. Features Skullcandy has a specific name for each model they release, so it can be unclear how their headphones are categorized. Sometimes, there are feature-specific variants of that model available. For this brand, we consider these variants (and their base model) as constituting a lineup. This includes the following:
