Phiaton MS-400 — now even headphones are carbon fibre

For maximum performance from anything these days it’s got to be made from carbon fibre whether its a supercar or a pair of studio grade headphones! These are Phiaton’s latest model weighing just 6.5oz.

To keep the weight down Phiaton have constructed the MS-400 from carbon graphite fibre encased in a double-shell high polymer enclosure. They also claim to have worked on the airflow, optimizing it to deliver “concert hall sound quality”.

Other specs include:

• Weight: 6.5oz
• Drivers: 40mm electrodynamic
• Sensitivity: 98dB
• Impedance: 32 Ohm
• Input power: 1000 mW

The press release, issued today says:

“…The carbon fiber housing helps deliver crystal clear sound and eliminates any sound leakage. To ensure better resonance values, deep rich bass, a full-bodied midrange, and sparkling high notes, the carbon is encased in a high polymer enclosure with a double-shell structure

The MS 400 features flexible joints that fold in two steps making it perfect for travelers. It comes with a compact and stylish carrying case and a 6.3mm stereo gold-plated plug adapter…”

For all this you’ll have to shell out $249 so they’re not cheap!
