KEF Debuts Its Over-ear and In-ear Headphones
KEF, a speaker manufacturer based in England, has announced its first range of headphones - the M500 over-ear headphones, and the M200 in-ear buds.
Rigged with a full-range 40mm neodymium driver with a copper clad aluminum voice-coil, the M500 dons an elegant, precision-engineered aluminium frame, with breathable and sweat resistant memory foam earpads and headband. The headphones feature a "Smart Hinge", which can rotate on two axes unlike conventional headphones that require two hingers to fold and rotate the earpads, making them more adaptable to different head sizes and shapes. It also lets you fold them up for carrying around.
Employing the DDD (Dual Dynamic Driver) technology, a two-way system with a 10mm driver for the bass and a 5.5mm dynamic neodymium driver for mid-range and high frequencies, the in-ear M200 utilizes an adjustable "Secure Arm" that helps to keep it snug in the ear, and a rigid aluminum driver housing that eliminates unwanted vibrations and raises sound performance to new levels.
Both models are compliant with the CENELEC standard (EN60065/A12) for protection against hearing damage caused by excessive sound volume.
