Grow with Dr Prem

New headphone from Phiaton PS 500 is stylish, closed-back and a bass champ. It produces extra high end details over the bass-oriented sets. The headphones appeals to dance lovers, metal heads, and the audiophile territory. PS 500 feature Titanium Driver Technology for great clarity and for creating dynamic range of listening volumes. It is made of genuine leather and assures a comfortable wear for hours to listen music.

Features

Phiaton PS 500’s outer earpads and earcups are covered with genuine black leather, overall giving a very comfortable and beautiful headphone experience. Its great earpads and earcups assure awesome listening experience for hours. It works out well when we want to hear a smoother and a more relax sound. But, people who are more inclined toward mixed sound taste might get disappointed as it lacks mid-range warmth and produces muddy bass sound. Also, as it is closed back design it encourages to be used at homes and not on the streets.

High points

PS 500 is closed back and hence restricts the external noise to distract the listening, it efficiently eliminates the hum, noise of air-conditioning units and tiny taps of keyboard. But, it fails in creating the complete silence effect. Also closed back design takes care of your neighbors while you are listening as they will not be disturbed by you, no matter how loud your sound is.

It has ample high end details and which is why phiaton considers these as high end set. It produces the kind of clarity that allows us to pick out instruments and details much more effectively. It of course does not set standards for industry but the fact is that they are great as compared to other headphone in similar range.

Talking about the packaging and design of the product it gives you the feeling right away that it is a quality product. It comes in classy black card and clear plastic box presented in one of the most stylish way. The key material used here is plastic ensuring its resistance against rough usage. Overall it feels strong.

To make the headphone more stylish the outer surface of each earcup is a patch of real leather embossed with a reptilian skin pattern. It tries to give you a rock and roll feel but fails to do it. Unfortunately the leather used here is not real but gives you comfortable and luxurious experience.

The headband has an orthodox notch adjustment for a good fit. It ensures easy fitting of headphones from smaller to larger heads. Padding is sufficiently deep resulting into high quality of firmness which in a way is good for sensitive noggin. The overall placement of earcups with padding ensures comfortable usage for long hours. It does get sweaty when used for long hours but dry offs if it’s left alone for few minutes.

PS 500 is mp3 player friendly as it comes with 3.5 mm headphone jack and also includes 6.3 mm adapter for Hi-Fi and headphone amp listening. It also comes with one year warranty.

Low points

The inability of the earcups to pivot around may disappoint people who are looking for a bit more portable set of headphones. We found that it provides 40 degree movement for different heads size to fit in, but it was not enough to fold flat. Also the 3m long cable attach do not encourage portable listening. The cable is thick and long and is difficult to fold and fit in the pockets.

Apart from headphones you only get a user’s guide and product registration card from the box. It does not have inline volume controls or airline adapters or a microphone. Currently the price of the headphone is $175.79 and can be bought from amazon.
