Nocs’ NS600 Crush headphones aim to streamline design and air flow

 

Check out our full review the Nocs NS600 Crush earbuds. 

Today, Nocs released the NS600 Crush, a high-end pair of earbuds with the goal of fusing high-quality sound and sleek style.  Though audiophiles tend to put sound quality over design aesthetic nobody wants thick bands that matte down half of your hair, or earpads the size of pancakes. Some pairs of high-end headphones have become so cumbersome that you just can’t help but feel a bit silly.

Nocs has made every effort to make its new pair of headphones feel hassle free. The company focused on both comfort and convenience, which — it claims — has resulted in a light, barely-there feel to the phones.  Furthermore, it has created a braided, tangle-free cord, designed not to knot around itself every time you wrap it around your iPod or stuff it in your bag.

To deliver better sound, the Nocs design team also packed each bud with two separate drivers, creating a tweeter + woofer setup to try to pack as much power as possible into the two diminutive ear pieces. Nocs’ Founder Daniel Alm spoke with us earlier and elaborated on the subject. “We combined two drivers as close as possible and optimized the air flow in that tight space,” he said, adding that “It came out quite well.”

We’ll have a review up later this week, but if you’re too intrigued to wait, head over to Nocs website, where the headphones are available for $150.

Apple MacBook Air M1 open, on a table.

Apple has been a big player in the tech space for a long time, and it has pioneered some of the technology we use today, such as best wireless earbuds and the best smartwatches. If that wasn't enough, it even makes some of the best best laptops and best tablets on the market, so pretty much whatever tech you're looking for, Apple has an excellent version of it. Not only that, but Apple's ecosystem is also easily one of the best available, with only Samsung really competing in that space, and if you're already in the Apple ecosystem, then it makes sense to continue buying stuff from Apple.

The "1" means it comes with a subwoofer, in this case a wireless subwoofer, and the "2" means it has two dedicated drivers that fire upwards to the ceiling to support Dolby Atmos.
