SOUL Electronics intends to deliver a new range of headphones to the masses, and have received the help of two sporting celebrities, Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man, and also Tim Tebow. The new Combat range from SOUL Electronics have been touted to be the first-ever true over-ear and on-ear headphone range that was specially developed for athletic performance, hence their ambassadors. The Combat series has been designed to deliver premium-performance comfort as well as audio, where it will include the Combat+ Over-Ear Headphones, Transform On-Ear Headphones and Flex Sport Earphones, so that even those of you who happen to lead an extremely active lifestyle are able to tune in to your favorite songs while sweating it out.

The new Combat range was inspired and rigorously tested by SOUL ambassadors Tim Tebow and Usain Bolt, so you can purchase a pair, rest assured that their performance features and styling have been designed specifically for active people. Some of the features include a wide breathable headband for secure fit, a Comply body heat activated memory foam for comfort and better seal from external noise distraction, sweat-resistant sound drivers, and bacterial resistant surfaces. All of these individual elements were inspired directly from features which Tim Tebow and Usain Bolt require to sustain the intensity of their sports training and active lifestyles.

The Combat Series range would also make sure that the headphones are ideal for most outdoor activities, regardless of whether you are practicing for the big crunch game, or if you are walking the dog around the neighborhood. The Combat+ Over-Ear Headphones will feature Comply body heat activated, breathable memory foam ear pads so that your ears enjoy a perfect fit and comfort, in addition to an extra pair of breathable, washable mesh ear pads.

Not only that, the water/sweat proof earphones also adhere to IPX5 waterproof standards, and accompanied by a bacterial resistant ear hook surface, you have nothing much to worry about.

I’ve been using RHA headphones for about 6 months, and I have been pleasantly surprised by their performance. The RHA 450i Earphones are definitely on my recommend to buy list. RHA recently announced that they will release premium earphones in late August.

The MA600i is made from aircraft grade aluminum, and comes with 320.1 dynamic drivers. The MA750i earphones will be made from 303F stainless steel and feature handmade 560.1 dynamic drivers. They will also support over-ear cabling for those who uses these to work out. I usually loop them around my ears, but this will be a pleasant change.

Both of these headphones have a 3-button remote and built-in microphone. They will be available on the 28th of August, through the Apple Store, for $89.95(USD) for the RHA MA600i and $129.95 for the RHA 750i.

If you’re shopping about for a new pair of earphones, headphone manufacturer RHA has announced a new pair of earphones that could be worth checking out, especially if you own an iOS device. The earphones in question are the MA600i and the MA750i. Priced at $85.95, the MA600i is made from aircraft grade aluminum and features a rather unique shape with custom 320.1 dynamic drivers, which according to RHA will allow for “highly accurate, balance sound reproduction.”

For those with slightly deeper pockets, the MA750i will set you back $129.95. It will be made from 303F stainless steel and features handmade 560.1 dynamic drivers for “precise balanced and articulate audio reproduction with open soundstage”, and will also support over-ear cable support for those who plan to use it while working out. Both earphones will feature a three button remote and built-in microphone that will also allow them to be used as a hands-free kit. Available via Apple retail stores in Europe today, for those of us living stateside, expect them to arrive in store come 28^th of August.

Headphones come in all shapes and sizes, yet offer more or less the same functionality. The folks behind Muzik aim to change this, announcing the soon-to-be-available smart headphones that allow users to natively share the song they’re listening to on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere. This is the first of what will be a line of different wearable technology devices, says the company’s vice chairman John Cawley.

Unfortunately, not much was revealed in the way of specifications, with the announcement instead focusing on what Muzik offers that is different over other headphones on the market: Social Smartware functionality. As such, the headphones are being touted as the first-ever that allow listeners to share what they’re listening to on social networks from the device itself.

The company hints that the sharing functionality expands beyond just Facebook and Twitter, saying that in addition to sharing on those two networks, the headphones also allow users to “send a song anywhere in the world.” Furthermore, the Muzik website speaks of an Android and iOS app that “learns” while users listen to music.

As far as actual design goes, the headphones are over-the-ear and feature capacitive touch controls. Neither pricing nor a release date for the headphones have been released, but the company promises that a pre-order announcement will be made “shortly.” As for the actual launch, the device will hit shelves some time in the fourth quarter of this year.

Muzik President and CEO Jason Hardi said: “While the music industry has seen its challenges, technological advances have also created a world of opportunity, which Muzik is seizing to create an entirely new category. Headphones will never again just be for listening to music or talking on the phone – our headphones will improve the way we socially discover, share, listen and experience music. In addition to music exploration, I look forward to working with the developer community to create amazing applications leveraging smart headphones.”

Beats Electronics has rolled out the carpet for its next-generation Beats Studio headphones, announcing that they will be available for purchase in August with a price tag of $299 USD. With the latest version comes a promise of improvements across quality and design, as well as a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, something the original lacked.

As far as design goes, there are three options featured in the image above. The latest generation of Beats Studio uses a lighter material than the original version, and is designed to be both stronger and more flexible. The headphones feature no straight lines, and none of the screws are visible. Likewise, the ear cups can be adjusted to fit the wearer via an “ergonomic adjustment mechanism,” a change over the last version.

The headphones utilize adaptive noise cancellation, more commonly called ANC, which includes two modes: a music mode, and an increased noise cancellation mode that results from unplugging the cable. In the former mode, Beats Electronics says the combination between noise cancellation and music is balanced, with the materials used in the construction aiding the process.

Beats Acoustic Engine – a digital tuning software – is used to tune to Beats Studio headphones for proper sound quality, while manually swapping batteries is a thing of the past with the integrated rechargeable battery. Use time comes in around the 20 hour mark on a charge, which is achieved using either a USB cable or a standard outlet. There’s a built-in charge indicator in the form of 5 LEDs, as well as automatic shutdowns to help conserve the battery.

Said Jimmy Iovine, “With the original Studio headphone we set out to prove that people all around the world care enough about sound to invest in it – and we did. Now we are taking it a step further.The new Studio is tuned with balance, accuracy and emotion, has a breathtaking design and truly innovative technology. This is the sound of the future.”
