Fender Mix Headphones Bring Modular Design and Longevity (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: We've all reached that point with even our favorite headphones where they get a little worn out or we get bored of how they look or worst of all the battery is dead and we just can't use them anymore. Those are all problems that Fender Audio is looking to solve with its first ever headphones. These are the Fender Mix and they are a fully modular set of cans. So you can pull the ear cups off just like this and you could replace them with different colors. You could actually take the cushions off by themselves if you want to customize things further and what's really exciting is what's within each of these ear cups. So here you've got a wireless dongle that opens up lossless audio and a lot of other conveniences that you don't always get with Bluetooth and over on this ear cup pop it in. Perhaps the most intriguing thing about these headphones is a fully user replaceable battery which to me solves I think one of the biggest issues with any gadget especially with headphones to really extend the longevity there. Other than that you know you've got kind of all the features you'd expect from a premium set of cans. These are gonna be about $300. So you've got your ANC, you've got an ambient sound mode, got Bluetooth, you also have just standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack for when you run out of juice. Got to listen a little bit. Everything sounded nice and balanced. Some solid ANC so far but of course we'll have to see how these hold up in the real world but very much looking forward to Defender Mix. They'll be out later this year, February or March or so for $299 and as always for all things CES keep it locked to CNN Underscored.
