Skullcandy Aviator 900 Attenuation (measured on a B&K 5128)

Click a line or a legend entry to highlight it. Click again to clear.Tap a legend entry to highlight its line. Tap again to clear.

Solid lines: passive isolation (dB) with ANC off — how much ambient noise the fit blocks on its own. Dashed lines: total attenuation (dB) with ANC on — passive isolation plus active noise cancelling. Higher on the chart means more attenuation.

The verdict

The Skullcandy Aviator 900 ANC is a competent set of headphones, but probably not an audiophile's first pick. For everyone else, these headphones offer a credible, less-expensive alternative to the top dogs in the category.

✓Liked: Battery life, Comfort, Manual controls, Display

✕Could be better: Odd sound, No IP rating
