Skullcandy, the original lifestyle audio brand, announces the revival of its world-renowned Aviator franchise with the launch of Aviator 900 ANC ($299.99), its most premium headphones to date. When the original Skullcandy Aviator line launched in 2010, it was embraced by a global audience of tastemakers and celebrities drawn to its unique form factor and first-class audio experience. The new Aviator 900 ANC builds off the original’s classical retro aesthetic with new materials and technologies for those who want a style-forward, best-in-class audio experience.
Skullcandy’s Aviator 900 ANC brings immersion and emotional depth to the listening experience with THX® Spatial Audio with Head Tracking, adaptive 6-mic active noise canceling, and Personal Sound by Mimi®. Whether you’re in the zone, on the go, or just vibing in style, the Aviator 900 ANC transforms every moment into a high-fidelity soundscape.
“THX Spatial Audio with head tracking on the new Aviator is a historic moment for both companies,” said Tuyen Pham, chief executive officer of THX Ltd. “This collaboration merges THX’s long-standing mission to bring the best audio technology to consumers of entertainment with the popularity of the Skullcandy brand. With THX Spatial Audio on board the Aviator 900 ANC, Skullcandy is truly empowering their customers to hear movies, music, and games the way the creator intended the content to be enjoyed with emotional connection, depth, and immersion.”
Aviator 900 ANC also makes a style statement. It features a bold materials mix – vintage inspired hardware, suede, polished finishes – and iconic design elements like a knurled thumbwheel, joystick, and retro-inspired multi-function LCD display.
With up to 60 hours of battery life, you can fly around the world without ever needing to recharge. Aviator 900 ANC is built to keep up with your life, packed with essential features like rapid charge, Bluetooth® 5.3, wear detect, multipoint pairing, a collapsible travel-ready design, and an included cross-body travel bag. Customizable controls through the Skullcandy App – like adjustable stay-aware mode, custom EQ, and button remapping – make the experience feel seamless, intuitive, and perfectly yours.
“This marks Skullcandy’s bold entry into the premium headphone space,” says Justin Regan, vice president of marketing, Skullcandy. “It’s a fearless move for a brand known for doing things differently – and proof that great sound and standout design can live in the same package.”
