CITYist

When Jay-Z and Beyonce give their blessing to a pair of hardcore headphones, then you know they’ve got to be good. Co-designed by Jay himself, these Roc Nation/Skullcandy “aviators” come in minimal white, black and brown with heavy padding to keep city street noise out and music in. Buy a pair online (for $149.95) or pick them up at your local Apple store for what Jay-Z calls “the best way for people to experience the soundtrack of their lives.”
