Skullcandy's slick Navigator headphones Video Transcript
-Hi, I'm David Carnoy, executive editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the Skullcandy Navigator headphones. I didn't like their design. They seem well built. That will fold up into a smaller form factor. They come with a very simple carrying pouch. These are a $100 headphone. I would say the sound is decent, not great. They do have a lot of base. There's a weird little hole in the base. It's hard to say what's going on there, but we did like the headphone. We just didn't quite love it, but still not a bad headphone for $100. It does come with an inline remote and microphone, and it is very nicely styled. In the end, I would say this is one of the better Skullcandy headphones I've tested. They are comfortable. And I said, they do have a nice design. I'm David Carnoy with the Skullcandy Navigator headphones. Thanks for watching.

Skullcandy Navigator Review
The good: The relatively compact Skullcandy Navigator on-ear headphones have a slick retro-future design, offer a comfortable fit with decent sound for $99 headphones, and their detachable cord has an Apple friendly inline remote/microphone.
The bad: Some headphones in this price range sound better; some of the inline remote features won't work with non-iOS devices.
The bottom line: While they don't quite measure up performance-wise to some competing models in this price range, the Skullcandy Navigators score points with their eye-catching design and comfortable fit.
