With ambitions to stand toe-to-toe with today’s top sellers, A-Audio has crafted the finest pair of Active Noise Cancelling over-ear headphones that $299 can buy, making sure that every material and component contributes to the best possible listening experience. From anti-vibration aluminum construction and neodymium magnets to 40mm Mylar drivers and a memory foam headband wrapped in premium leather, the set exudes style and performance like a luxury automobile.
Beyond the superior build, A-Audio’s Legacy headphones offer the latest innovations in sound reproduction including Active Noise Cancellation and Bass Boost modes. The wired model also has dual inputs, one on each ear cup, so users can choose to connect on whichever side is more comfortable. This makes it simple to share music, too, because the unused input becomes an output for a friend to plug in their own headphones and have two headphones connected to a single music device!
The Legacy Wireless model ($379) uses Bluetooth technology to deliver crystal clear wireless audio more than 30 feet from the music source, and is powered by a 580mAh battery that provides up to 12 hours of listening time.
Both models come with two cables, one with an in-line remote/microphone, and one without. The remote gives iOS device users control of volume, next/last song, play/pause and answering/ending phone calls. For the Wireless model, an additional set of discretely placed buttons are found on the right earcup, so there are two ways to control the experience.
A-Audio’s Legacy headphones offer even more advantages not found in competing products: both models include standard four-foot-long detachable 3.5-mm cables as well as a 6.3-mm adaptor, allowing use with home stereo and theater systems, as well as professional recording and DJ equipment. From conception to production, A-Audio has developed Legacy headphones to deliver the best possible listening experience for this price range, and one listen is all it takes to revel in the results.
