Even though Apple’s bundled iPod headphones are complete shite, there’s definitely something to be said for the fact that they made the little white buds iconic. You could almost say that they’re fashionable. Well, a little Aussie headphone company called Muse wants to take that design philosophy to the next level.
Based in Hawthorn East, Muse headphones have just released 12 different pairs of headphones and earphones onto the Australian market, each of them having a cutesy name like “The Architect” or “The Commander”. Ranging in price from $20 to $60, they’re certainly not trying to take down the likes of Bose, but with pretty swish designs and very affordable prices, they might just be worth checking out.
Mind you, we haven’t listened to them yet, so we won’t pass judgment on quality just yet…

I picked up a pair from some sweet little store in Melb city last week and the quality of the headphone and sound is excellent.

Friday, March 12, 2010 at 12:19 PMBought ‘the executive’ version as it’s the only one they had with iphone compatibility, microphone, play/pause button etc. So far the sound quality is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below what I’m used to from my Zune premium headphones or Sennheiser CX300′s. It sounds like I’m listening to music underwater with my head stuck in the mud – the sound is muddy and completely lacking definition and clarity. Maybe I got a dud pair? I only bought them yesterday though so maybe they need to burn in?
