Jay-Z Enters the Headphone Market With the Skullcandy Roc Nation Aviator Headphones
Skullcandy has partnered up with Jay-Z’s very own music publishing and entertainment company, Roc Nation, to produce the Roc Nation Aviator Headphones. Like many of Skullcandy’s other products, these headphones have a lot of aesthetical appeal. Skullcandy did an amazing job in producing a simple, sleek, and all around good-looking design. Unlike many other Skullcandy products however, the Roc Nation Aviator Headphones brought something completely new to the table. The Aviator line is Skullcandy’s first effort at producing high-quality, audiophile-grade headphones. If you are a fan of Skullcandy designs, but wished for more in terms of audio quality and listening enjoyment, the Aviator Heaphone line would be the way to go. Even Jay-Z himself was highly satisfied with these headphones:
“Our passion is creating amazing music. We’re dedicated to delivering the best in live performances. Now with the Roc Nation/Skullcandy partnership, we’re offering the best way for people to experience the soundtrack of their lives.”
Personally, I was surprised when I saw the price for a pair of these headphones. You can get them for only $150 on Amazon, which in my opinion, is an insanely good price for a pair of not only great-looking, but well-performing headphones.

‘Sleek By 50 Cent’ Headphones Released…Will They Rival Beats by Dr. Dre?
Last month, Hip Hop star 50 Cent announced the release of his new line of headphones, “Sleek By 50 Cent”. These headphones feature Kleer lossless wireless technology with military-grade metals…Now the wireless thing is cool and all, but what does 50 Cent expect you to be doing with these headphones that justify the use of military-grade metals? I don’t know, but you can be sure that these headphones will be able to stand up to a good amount of abuse. Anyways, the Kleer lossless wireless technology is supposed to produce a cleaner sound than Bluetooth devices, and it gives these headphones one cool little extra feature. Apparently, up to “four pairs of these headphones can listen to the same audio source at once.” That means you don’t have to split your earphones to share music with your friends. There is no set price or release date yet, but with all these features, I would expect these to cost a good amount more than Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. If not, then Dr. Dre’s got some serious competition coming up.
