Blue Microphones releases Mo-Fi headphones

http://mofiheadphones.com

Blue Microphones has just released their Mo-Fi headphones which include a built-in amp and deliver high quality audio even on mobile devices. The headphones have up to 12 hours of battery life for the amp, but can still play music even without the amp on in passive mode. Also they're fully adjustable to fit anyone's head. There are no DSP tricks, no increased bass by default (though can be enabled if wanted). From reading their release material and hearing their thoughts on the design of the headphones, Blue seems to be headed the right way & most importantly is doing it right, though they retail for $349.

 

Specs:

• Custom high-powered audiophile amplifier
• 50mm, fiber-reinforced dynamic driver
• Sealed over-ear design for superior isolation and feedback prevention
• User-adjustable tension and suspension adapt to any head shape
• and size for a perfect fit
• Racecar-inspired multi-jointed headband design keeps earcups parallel
• at all times for superior comfort and sound
• All-analog amplifier performance modes: passive, active and enhanced bass
• Powers on and off automatically when headphones are opened and closed
• Rechargeable battery provides up to 12 hours of playtime; Mo-Fi continues to play music even when battery has no charge

Mo-Fi is the first headphone that combines a built-in audiophile amplifier and insanely great-sounding drivers for a truly mind-blowing listening experience. Sure, this means Mo-Fi can get loud. But more importantly, it allows for the most accurate sound reproduction—so you’ll always enjoy great-sounding audio, on every device. Frankly, it’s surprising no one ever thought of this before—but hey, we’re Blue. Innovation is what we do best.

Unlike other headphones that put more bass in your face whether you want it or not, Mo-Fi lets you choose the right sound for your music. No DSP tricks here — this is analog, baby. No matter if you’re listening to 70s-era rock, modern pop, orchestral, hip-hop or something else, you’ll have total control over your listening experience.

Interesting, but I'd like to see a version for just a little more with a Blue microphone built in.

 

As it stands, I'd go with a modmic for this, which doesn't really make sense when I've just bought a Blue product

Is this what you hear when you watch the WAN show opening theme?

[Silent_Xaxal]

They look kinda retro, almost like an old fridge or coke machine, but on your head. LIKE IT!
