Headphone News

Audio-Technica have expanded their headphone range with the release of the ATH-M50, a set of headphones designed for use in recording studios.

The full-size headphones are designed for high-levels of comfort and with a level of sonic accuracy suitable for mixing and monitoring applications. Featuring Audio-Technica’s proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with neodymium magnet systems and CCAW voice coils, which Audio-Technica claim will deliver clear, natural, accurate sound with deep resonating bass and high-frequency extension. Quite a boast.

They also feature a number of studio-specific functions like padded ear-cups, tilting earpieces for one-ear listening and gold-plated connectors.

Available February priced around $200, they’ll have to be good if Audio-Technica are to crack the recording market.

Here’s another great review from The Tech Lounge, this time for the Altec Lansing AHP612 Wireless Studio headphones.

These wireless headphones use the 900MHz frequency range and are large, so are mainly designed for use in the home. The reviewer tested them with music, games and movies and was impressed with all three although the bass was a slight let down.

Apart from that, the only real problem the reviewer found with these cans was some slight interference problems around fluorescent lights so that probably rules out office use.
