V-MODA: Crossfade 2 Wireless
This stylish knockout is V-MODA’s most versatile model yet. Boasting nearly-identical sound quality in both analog and wireless playback, Crossfade 2 Wireless Over-Ear headphones ($330-350) offer the best of both worlds with wired and wireless modes for hybrid listening. Multitasking users can pair the headphones with two sources at a time, such as a smartphone and laptop for work or a smartphone and smartwatch for working out. State of the art audio codec enables CD-like quality sound over Bluetooth which allows for the best lossless wireless listening experience. It’s a great, comfortable choice for travel; the CliqFold Hinge folds the headphones into a small case, and Passive Noise Isolation naturally cuts out the distractions of jet engines and unwanted noise without the hiss and pressure of Active Noise Canceling. A bigger battery provides over 14 hours of music, and unlimited hours in wired analog. A hidden mic and 1-Button SpeakEasy cable allows calls on-the-go, at the office or for gaming. And for DJs, there’s nothing cooler thanks to a new ventilation system for air circulation on stage, and custom shield kits that let you change your shield material and color, or customize with a 3D-print or laser-engraved logo. Available in Black Matte, White Matte and Rose Gold (with aptX) at V-MODA.com.
This legacy audio brand has introduced a new generation of Lightning-powered earphones that work with the iPod, iPhone and iPad. The Pioneer Rayz Plus ($150) are the first to market headphones with second generation Lightning Audio Technology—that means no battery to replace and no cable for charging. They automatically recognize "Hey Siri" commands from users, even if their phone is in their pocket. Rayz scans your ear to optimize noise-cancelling performance uniquely to your ear and environment, and the HearThru mode lets you hear your surroundings without removing your earphones. Multitasking is a breeze with a talk-and-charge function that lets you do both at once while plugged into the Lightning port. Rayz are the only Lightning earphones to support a one-button click to mute the mics during a call, and the moment you stop speaking, Rayz microphones automatically go on mute, and automatically unmute when you begin speaking through audible tones.
When you remove the earphones, AutoPause automatically pauses the video or music being played. Put them back on and the content resumes. And Rayz Plus speaks more languages than you do with native language support available for English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. And best of all it the iOS companion app, an integral part of the Rayz experience enabling you to personalize the earphone’s settings, such as adjusting audio EQ and programming the smart button. Most importantly, the app creates the ability for Rayz earphones to continually improve with the delivery of new features via the software update interface.
