Skullcandy Navigator Review

If they ever become as famous as Ray-Ban aviator shades is questionable, but the Navigator headphones from Skullcandy looks just like a pair of aviator glasses when folding them together. A design touch that is no coincidence.

Skullcandys larger and more expensive Aviator model has received its drop shape from ear cups just for pilots, and as pilot glasses and anything that reminds you how cool it is with aircrafts never seem to go out of fashion, it's never wrong to "borrow" designs and concepts from the aviation world. Just look at all the parajumper jackets that are everywhere.

The ear cups are of the type that rests against your ear and you should be a little careful with how they sit to properly balance the sound image. It sounds rich and pleasant, thanks to a relatively (for the small cups) potent bass. Not the kind that gets the ear wax to rattle, but there is still plenty of weight. Enough for drums to sit nicely in the mix. Although Navigator can't play violently loud, especially not if they have to drown out external noise, they sound really well-balanced even at high volume.
