Sony Altus Headphones

Sick of a lack of recognition for their headphones, Sony have really pushed the boat out with the announcement of the forthcoming Sony Altus headphones’ 80 KHz frequency ceiling.

Of course, observant readers will recognize that the vast majority of humans can only hear up to around 20 Khz making the top range of these ‘phones somewhat redundant. Still, it’s the sort of boast that marketing departments love to make so we can probably expect to see it repeated a lot.

Apart from their extreme audio range the Altus (or MDR-D777LP to it’s friends) is similar in looks and specs to the recently announced MDR-D777SL.

They’ll be available in November priced around $150. Personally I can’t wait to part with my hard earned cash so that I can enjoy sounds I’m not even capable of hearing…
