Rap mogul Jay-Z has announced the launch of his new Roc Nation Aviator headphones which will compete with Diddy and Dr. Dre’s current Beats By headgear line.

According to reports, Young Hov will be pushing out the $149 priced headgear beginning next month.

We know that competition can get tense between hip hop artists, but Jay-Z is obviously jealous of the Beats by Dr. Dre’s success to go out and launch his own headphones. Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation, has collaborated with Skullcandy, to develop the Roc Nation Aviator headphones that are going to be available in white, brown, and black. The headphones promise Platinum sound performance via a 40mm full-range enhanced audio driver. The headphones also offer a contoured fit with an aviator inspired spring hinge. They also sport a tangle-free cable (hmm, that sounds familiar) which uses the Skullcandy Mic3 which works as an in-line music and mic control. (Chip Chick)

Jay has also released a statement speaking on the motivation behind his upcoming line.

“Our passion is creating amazing music,” Jay-Z said in a statement. “We’re dedicated to delivering the best in live performances. Now with the Roc Nation/Skullcandy partnership, we’re offering the best way for people to experience the soundtrack of their lives.”
