Rising star, Phiaton, has announced two brand new headphone models to add to its growing lineup, the Chord MS 530 and the Fusion MS 430. The MS 530 is a premium wireless headset with active noise canceling (ANC) technology, while the MS 430 is an understated wired headset that takes the baton in Phiaton’s Moderna series. The two new models have very different skill sets, so let’s take quick look at each below and see what they have to offer.

Yes, it is ironic that a wireless headset would employ the word ‘chord’ in the title, even if it is the musical spelling. That said, the premium MS 530 (pictured above) appears to be a powerful new weapon in Phiaton’s arsenal, with reams of technology packed into a radically post-modern frame for a stylish, cutting-edge way to enjoy your favorite tunes.

The Chord employ the latest Bluetooth 4.0 protocol with aptX technology for a pristine wireless signal, as well as advanced ANC technology that promises to block “98 percent of ambient noise,” which is a pretty audacious claim. For those who fly regularly, the headphones can also be wired to comply with FCC regulations. Other notable features for the new cans include titanium-coated 40mm drivers, an estimated 18-30 hours of battery life, and dual microphones to block out ambient noise when fielding phone calls. The MS 530 are priced at $350, and will be available for purchase October 8th.

Check out our review of the Phiaton Fusion MS 430 headphones.

At $180, the Fusion MS 430 sit in the middle of Phiaton’s catalog. Carved from a lightweight, carbon-fiber frame that’s layered in polymer for improved resilience, the headphones promise rich bass and clear treble in a fold-able, travel-ready chassis. The headphones employ 40mm dynamic drivers with “oversized neodymium magnets,” and come equipped with a pair of tangle-resistant oxygen-free copper (OFC) cables, one of which offers an in-line microphone with volume control. The MS 430 will be available for purchase  October 1st.

Both the the Chord MS 530 and the Fusion MS 430 will be on display tonight from 6-10pm at the Pepcom Holiday Spectacular in NYC at the Phiaton booth. But if you can’t make it into the city, don’t worry, we’ll be checking out the new cans soon enough, so we’ll let you know how they perform off the page.

Sony WH-CH720N -- $98 $150 35% off

The Sony CH720NB are good-quality headphones for a relatively budget price, with the audio being dependable but nothing exciting or comparable to the higher-end Sony XM4s, for example. That's ok since they aren't meant to compete at that level, and given the price you're paying, they're relatively comfortable to wear, have good audio, and you can get about 35 hours of total use per charge with ANC switched on.

You shouldn’t have to spend a ton of money to own a great TV. We’re being realistic about this, too, because what we’re not saying is premium and flagship TVs should be less expensive. TV prices have actually come down quite a bit over the last few years, but some of the largest-sized sets can still be pretty expensive. Fortunately, companies like Insignia have got you covered. We came across the following offer while looking through Amazon deals:

Right now, when you order the Insignia 70-inch F50 Series through Amazon or Best Buy, you’ll only end up spending $400 plus tax! Maybe this is finally the time to start thinking about soundbar deals, too?
