The British Isles aren’t generally known for exporting headphones; mega boy bands and cycling superstars, yes, and perhaps Marmite. But headphones? All that’s changing though, with the impact RHA has made over the past year or so. The outfit has thus far produced a series of home run hits (or batted sixes, if you’re a cricket fan) with inexpensive headphones with sound way above their price.
If their past successes are anything to go by, these new ‘phones from RHA should sound amazing—because they’re the company’s most expensive yet.
Of course, expensive is a relative term here. The 750i retails for $130, not much more than entry-level fare from the likes of Bose, Shure or Etymotic. At $90, the 600i is even less. And if that’s not enough, both sets come with a three-year warranty.
As far as sound, RHA describes the 750i as “pure, natural audio with an open soundstage” and the 600i as “very precise and balanced.” Both sets also come in control-less versions for $10 less. Both will be available late this month. Take a gander at the specs below.
