Phiaton Has Headphones for Every Ear
South Korean high-end headphone company Phiaton is putting bundled earbuds to shame with its audio accessories.
Phiaton, a branch off of Seoul’s Cresyn Co., is relatively new to the high-end headphones market, but the company showed it meant business when it released the PS 300 Noise Cancelling headphones this past March. These headphones cost about $300 and provide up to 18 hours of listening time on its rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. Phiaton also ships the headphones with an extra battery (a $50 value) as well as a battery charger that works in conjunction with a USB cable so users can charge the battery with a PC or laptop.
Phiaton’s other models, like the PS 320 and the MS 400, aren’t noise cancelling but both have their own individual perks. The PS 320 headphones are compact, lightweight, and come in at only $199, making it the cheapest of the Phiaton leather-cupped headphones. The MS 400 has a carbon fiber design for a strong, lightweight shell and won first prize at the International Design Awards, in the Media and Home Electronics – TV Video and Audio Equipment category. And for audiophiles preferring a more delicate structure, Phiaton has PS 200 earphones are earbud-style but with soft silicon tips that come in three different sizes to accurately fit your ear. The PS 200 earbuds are meant to deliver more details and a crisper sound to the inner ear, and are $249.00.
Phiaton products can be bought from online electronics retailers or from the Phiaton Web site.

I have been listening to the MS 400 headphones for several weeks, and I have to say that I absolutely love them. The sound quality is excellent, especially for the price. Their only drawback is that the ear cups seem just a tad small, so over long periods of time they can get a little uncomfortable. One more thing to note is that they have a rather short cable, perfect for listening to an iPod, but a little short otherwise, so make sure to pick up an extender cable with these guts. I’m very interested to see how the PS 320 and PS 500 compare to the MS 400.

I am always weary of companies that use cheap, thin or short cables with their headphones. Bose is a good example of that. It seems like it would not cost that much more just to put a nice quality cable with the headphones. Audio Technica is an example of a company that uses quality parts and cables. They even include several plug adapters.
