Skull Candy makes top-of-the-line headphones with cooler designs than just about any headphone company out there. Whether you like over-the-ear headphones or ear buds, Skull Candy has got you covered with a complete range of options. Their brand-new collaboration with ROC on the Aviator is sick, and they've even got Clay Marzo modeling them. The new Aviator site really gets your mouth watering. Once the Summer sun fades away, a new set of headphones will make you happy to stay inside. Here are some of Skull Candy's best.

AsymAsym in Silver

Most people don't have perfectly straight ears, so these headphones are great for people with asymmetric appendages (hence the name, Asym.) The buds are flush fit, and the wrapped cable position runs the cord over the top of your ear. This means that they stay put in your ears through exercise, action sports, whatever. They also fit well under beanies and helmets, so you can secretly listen to your music in public. Always useful for grooving down city streets or jamming on your skateboard. They come in some cool colors like pink, red, and Rasta. Check 'em out here.

Specs: Temporal frequency of 18-20K Hz, speaker diameter of 13 mm, in ear headphones. Suggested retail $39.95.

50/50 in Black

The 50/50 look like classic ear-buds, but they are actually a composite earphone that is half mic and half bud. This makes them boom better than other ear buds on the market. They fit snugly in your ears and deliver rich sound through the 11mm driver. The polycarbonate back hugs an aluminum front and connects perfectly to the comfortable buds. The 50/50 are great if you want heavy bass and great sound like an over-ear headphone, but the comfort and flexibility of ear buds.

Specs: Temporal frequency of 20-20K Hz, speaker diameter of 11mm, in ear headphones, in-line mic for iPhone and BlackBerry, in-line volume control. Suggested retail $49.95.

G.I. in Black Print

These over-ear headphones deliver a lot of bang for their buck. Not only do you get soft ear and head cushioning, but the G.I. also delivers superior sound without much outside noise. Great for DJs, but also perfect for anyone who wants a comfortable and good-quality listening experience. They come with volume control, an extension cable, and... a bottle opener? Sure, why not. Check them out here.

Specs: Temporal frequency of 18-20K Hz, speaker diameter of 40mm, extension cable, over ear headphones, volume control. Suggested retail $69.95.

Skullcrusher in Snoop Dogg Blue

The aptly-named Skullcrusher feels like a pair of mini-subwoofers against your head. With a bass amplifier subwoofer where the volume control should be, these headphones mean business when it comes to bass. If you can't tell from the photo, this pair is royal blue featuring the Doggfather himself in a classic phone on the ears. You can also get the Skullcrusher in colors like CMYK, pink, and Snoop Dogg Black.

Specs: Temporal frequency of 20-20K Hz, speaker diameter of 30mm, over ear headphones. Suggested retail $79.95.

Aviator in White from ROC Nation

The Aviator is the cream of the Skull Candy crop. According to their website, "In order to get the job done, we had to bring in the top gun, the Aviator. Engineered optics for your ears. Tactical precision and design... Stay fly." These headphones hves superior technical sound quality and optics-inspired poly carbonate speaker housing. With sleek styling and Aviator-inspired contour fit, you can't go wrong with these. They come in white, black, and shiny brown, and you can check out a 360 view of each design plus zoomed details on the Aviator website.

Specs: Temporal frequency of 20 - 20K Hz, speaker diameter of 40mm, over ear headphones, in-line mic for iPhone and BlackBerry. Suggested retail $149.95.
