Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Rap mogul Jay-Z has teamed with Skullcandy to release custom-designed headphones, the first joint venture between the audio company and Jay-Z's Roc Nation brand. The resulting Aviator model, which sells for $149.95, is on sale in the US as of June 21 and will soon be available internationally.
Jay-Z joins Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, and Diddy as celebrities to recently endorse their own custom-designed headphones. Dr. Dre began the trend with a range of Beats by Dre headphones ($149.95-$349.95); Lady Gaga followed suit in October 2009 with Heartbeats in-ear headphones ($119.95), and Diddy's Diddybeats in-ear headphones ($179.95) followed in May. All three lines are part of the Beats by Dre brand.
The Roc Nation Aviator headphones come in white, black, and brown, and feature polycarbonate headphone cups, memory foam ear cups, and a variety of materials used in high-quality eyewear.
The Aviators are the first product to come out of the partnership between the two brands. Future products have not been announced, but Skullcandy's current offerings include mp3 player watches, a range of audio accessories, and apparel and gear with integrated audio technology.
