Phiaton PS 320 Review

Phiaton PS 320 Headphones

Introduction

On-ear headphones are a great alternative to the pedestrian earbuds that usually accompany portable music players. Not only are they vastly more comfortable, but they usually sound considerably better than their tiny, plastic brethren. With the PS 320, Phiaton aims to offer a smart looking, super comfy pair of headphones that look and sound a lot like more expensive brands – but at a fraction of the cost. However, while the PS320 look very handsome and sound fairly good, their spendy price tag, lack of bass and tendency to break up when the music gets busy lessens the overall appeal of this set of cans.

Phiaton PS 300 NC Review

Phiaton PS 300

Introduction

If you haven’t heard of Phiaton before, that’s OK – most folks haven’t. That’s because the manufacturer just broke into the headphone scene about a year ago and you don’t often see their products in your local Big Box Mart. But while Phiaton is a new name to the headphone market, their Korean based parent company, Cresyn, is not. They’ve been manufacturing the parts that go into some of the world’s most popular headphones for decades. Now, following a popular trend, the manufacturer has decided to create their own line of headphones and market them to consumers.

Best Headphones

The headphones that came with your iPod, Sansa Clip+, or Sony Walkman suck. The good news: Your options for replacing them stretch as far as the ear can hear. A good pair of aftermarket headphones will not only reveal musical intricacies in your favorite songs that you’ve never heard before, they’ll look better, feel more comfortable, and quite literally last for decades. What other piece of technology can you say that about? Here are a few of our favorite headphones from Sennheiser, Klipsch, Bose, and more.

How to Keep iPod Headphones From Tangling

Apple-ipod-classicHow many of you are constantly messing around with MP3 player headphones? If you are like me, you spend a good minute or two working the maze of cords free and watching your blood pressure rise. And if you are also like me (and not very smart, I might add), you might be trying to do this on a moving elliptical at the gym – trust me, don’t do this unless you are very coordinated.

There are some very good tricks out there to help you keep your cords untangled; short of using butter of course. Here are some of our favorites:

Ultrasone HFI-2400

Driven by 40mm drivers and Ultrasone’s S-Logic technology, the HFI-2400 delivers a frequency range of 10-25Khz and 75 Ohms of impedance. The headphones also feature metal shielding to reduce the emitting of magnetic radiation. Priced at $295

Monster Goes Gaga for Heartbeats Earbuds

Almost a year ago big-ticket audio gear maker Monster threw down Beats by Dr. Dre, a line of Dre-endorsed headphones and earbuds designed to pummel user’s hearing across a wide variety of devices and environments. Now Monster has expanded out the Beats line to include Heartbeats, a new collaboration with pop star Lady Gaga. And Monster is quick to boast that the pop diva didn’t just put her stamp of approval on a product: she helped design the earbuds so they’d look like nothing else on the market.

EU To Order Volume Limits on MP3 Players

For years, consumer and health advocates have warned about the dangers of pumping loud music into our heads using personal music players like iPods and cell phones: health and safety experts have long warned that most music players can put out music volumes that, over time, can lead to long term hearing loss—especially for folks who insist on tapping into their tunes for hours at a time. Now the European Union is doing something about it, revising its safety requirements for personal music players to reduce the risk of hearing damage from prolonged use: by default, music players will be limited to a maximum volume setting of 80 db—about the volume of nearby road noise or someone shouting—and manufacturers will have two years to come up with solutions.

Sennheiser HD800 Review

Sennheiser HD800

Replete with premium components, proprietary technology and several industry firsts, Sennheiser’s HD800 headphones easily earn their place amongst the very best ever made. Retailing at just under $1400.00 though, the cover charge for this listening party is a little steep. However, if you want a jaw-droppingly amazing personal audio experience, these cans deliver and then some.

Sony Ericsson’s New Touch Sensitive Headphones

mh907yel-bigThis week Sony Ericsson made sticking things in your ears cool again with its new MH907 headphones. The company’s SensMe Control technology is activated by body contact, allowing the headphone user to control music playback and answer calls just by placing the earphones in their ear or taking them out.
Of course, the MH907 is only compatible with Sony Ericsson phones with a fast port connector—sly move when competing with Apple, Samsung, and other mobile giants.

The MH907 come in chrome and yellow/white, and will be available worldwide this week for about $55. Sony Ericsson’s claim that these headphones will “change music forever” is rather bold, but the MH907 does offer a more interesting experience than just pushing a button.
