When it comes to quality audio devices, then you know for sure the name Bang & Olufsen will be able to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen has proudly announced a couple of new headphones that will arrive later this July, although we will only concentrate on one – that would be the BeoPlay H6, where this is a super soft, flexible over-ear headphone that offers a sound performance which will elevate audio to another level.

In order to deliver the best possible sound experience for the masses, the folks over at B&O PLAY conducted extensive studies in the shape and curves of the human ear so that they are able to discover the right geometries which will minimize sound leakage, while revealing all the fine details in the music regardless of the current volume level. The BeoPlay H6 will offer a truly natural and authentic sound performance with focus on getting a clear midrange and a balanced bass and treble performance. It has been specially designed around 40 mm custom designed drivers that are accompanied by neodymium magnets which are perfectly angled in order to obtain the best distance and sound direction into the ears. The BeoPlay H6 would also feature an internal bass port that delivers a well-balanced bass performance within a closed headphone design.

The BeoPlay H6 is made out of anodized high-grade aluminium, which would also make it extremely robust and scratch-resistant. The BeoPlay H6 also boasts of anodized aluminum on the adjustable slider arm and cover plate in order to complete the design with a final vibrant touch. The clever use of solid cowhide leather on the BeoPlay H6 headphones that hails from New Zealand is another masterstroke in craftsmanship, as cows there roam in controlled pastures and only the very highest quality hides are selected. You can be assured that each leather product is completely natural, and the leather is dyed with a tanning process which offers colors in rich and warm tones.

The asking price for the BeoPlay H6 would be $399 a pop later this July if you are interested.

For those who have enjoyed Shure’s in-ear headphone offerings, you might be pleased to learn that the company has announced the Shure SE846 which is the company’s new flagship in-ear headphones. The headphones will feature a four-driver design with Shure introducing a somewhat radical low-pass filter that will morph the low-frequency drivers into “subwoofers”, which Shure is calling a “True Subwoofer” design. We’re guessing listeners who enjoy more bass in their music will probably appreciate it, although we have yet to try it out for ourselves.

As for the treble department, Shure has introduced interchangeable nozzle filters that allows the user to choose between several different treble profiles – balanced, warm, and bright. Apart from that, the rest of the SE846’s specs include a frequency range of 15Hz to 20kHz, detachable cables, a gold-plated 3.5mm plug, and according to Shure, the headphones will also provide up to 37 decibels of ambient noise isolation. Priced at a staggering $1,000, these are definitely not for the casual listener.

Whether you think that Bose is an overrated brand or not is a matter of opinion and preference, but if you have enjoyed the company’s previous headphones offerings such as the QC15 and the QC3, Bose has announced the new AE2w Bluetooth headphones, which considering it is Bose-branded, isn’t overly expensive at $250. Essentially for those who have experienced Bose’s AE2 headphones, it’s almost the same thing with the main and obvious difference being that the AE2w will feature Bluetooth connectivity for a wireless listening experience.

The headphones will come with a battery life of seven hours, and 200 hours on standby. Alternatively if you want to conserve the battery for use on trips, you can always resort to swapping in a 3.5mm cable in the meantime time. If these sound like headphones you wouldn’t mind getting your hands on, they can be ordered via Bose’s website, and for our readers in EU, expect to be able to get these headphones on the 14^th of May.

Although Bose has been using Bluetooth in its Aviation headsets, SoundLink portable speakers and earpieces for cellphones, wireless headphones have been lacking from the company’s roster. That’s changing today, with the company email-blasting US customers about its just-released AE2w Bluetooth headphones. Think of these as a pair of AE2 (roughly $150) over-ear cans with an A2DP-enabled Bluetooth dongle tacked on. This protrusion (which is removeable) provides access to a multi-function button, volume controls, power switch and micro-USB port for charging. Battery life is seven hours, with 200-hours of standby, which is about the norm for this type of kit. The Bluetooth unit enables actively-equalized audio, but can be swapped for a 3.5mm cable (included) — this is ideal for long trips away from power. If you’re interested, the AE2w are available in the US directly from Bose today for $250 — pinning it as a competitor to cans like the apt-X-enabled Klipsch Image One Bluetooth. Our EU-based readers will also be pleased to know that sites like Tom’s Hardware Guide (Italian) have them pegged to arrive May 14th for 250 euros.

Marshall is a brand probably most well-known to musicians for creating amplifiers for guitars and bass, although at the same time we have seen the company start to branch out a bit to other audio products, such as speakers and even headphones. Either way if you love Marshall’s products, you might be interested to learn that the company has since announced a new set of headphones dubbed the Monitor, making this the company’s first over-ear headphones.

For those unaware of the difference, over-ear refers to headphones whose cups rest on the outer portion of your ear, while on-ear means that the headphone cups rest on your ear itself. There is difference in audio quality although it is also a matter of comfort and preference. In any case the Monitor by Marshall has been designed for studio listening and will come with an F.T.F insert that will allow the user to tailor their own listening, such as how removing the insert will lead to a brighter sound, while keeping it on while provide a warmer sound.

Featuring a detachable cord that allows the user to choose which side of the headphone they want the cord connected to, the Monitor headphones by Marshall is currently priced at $250 and is available from their website.
