Marshall’s iconic script logo has decided it wants some new real estate: your ears. These Marshall Headphones ($TBA) promise to offer up all the clean, heavy sound of the company’s amps and speaker cabinets in a much smaller, over-the-ear headphone, with cushy black pads, amp-matching cups, and nifty vertical packaging.
Sure, Beats are stylish, but if you’re serious about sound, you’d be way better off with a pair of AKG by Harman K 701 Headphones ($450). These high-end, reference-quality cans feature a patented two-layer Varimotion diaphragm, a high-performance Neodym Magnet System, an oxygen-free high-performance cable, a 6.3mm professional jack plug — which means adapters for all you portable listeners out there —
We’ve installed a subwoofer in a bucket before, but it would take a little more ingenuity to come up with these. PVC Pipe Speakers ($200) are handmade by Chicago-based ikymagoo, and feature 3-inch magnesium/aluminum alloy full range drivers, a bass port on the end of the pipe/stand, three-way binding posts on the back, and a hand-painted high gloss lacquer finish.
So, How does the Motorola Endeavor HX1 have such clear sounding and impressive quality in a noisy environment? That would be due to its utilization true bone conduction technology. True bone technology , was first engineered by the military, conducts sound through the bones of your skull to your inner ear thus having noise-canceling functionality in loud environments. This unit can be purchased for around $100.00 USD
These new Headphones from Monstor Cables is part of the Miles Davis Tribute Set, which includes said headphones and a super-de-dooper deluxe copy of the jazz man’s famous album Kind of Blue (Note: I know nothing about jazz, but even I have heard of Kind of Blue). This deluxe version comes with a DVD, linear notes, yada yada yada.
So, basically, we’ve got a pair of Monster Cable headphones with a Miles Davis logo on it, and a spiffy version of his best known album. Price? Oh, you know, $400. (Eh, that may seem expensive, but headphones can get very expensive, very fast if you’re not careful.)
At this time there is no No release date, but it is available for pre-order from their Web site.
