At #CES2019 Moshi, unveiled two new products in its expanding USB-C audio collection. The Mythro C, an in-ear set of headphones with lightweight aluminum housings, and Avanti C, an on-ear headset with an ergonomic headband and premium vegan leather earcups.
Wireless Audio solutions
Wireless audio solutions will remain popular. Bluetooth uses the 2.4 gigahertz frequency (referred to as the ISM band) to communicate with other devices. A few years ago, Bluetooth headphones may have been the worst way to listen to music. However, as a result of improved wireless standards. Bluetooth earbuds are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to listen to music.
However, true aficionados continue using wired headsets since there’s no bandwidth limitation or charging required. USB-C audio also offers superior sound quality. This is because the analog cable runs are shorter thanks to the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) being located near the drivers.
Moshi’s Mythro C and Avanti C
Moshi,’s Mythro C, and Avanti C are both equipped with a DAC, and offer high-resolution audio (24-bit/96 kHz) with a Class G amplifier. Mythro C, crafted from lightweight aluminum, includes 8 mm neodymium drivers for crisp highs and deep punchy bass. Avanti C features a rotatable stainless steel headband and angled earcups for added comfort. The on-ear headset is built with high-resolution 40 mm neodymium drivers for a full-bodied sound signature and excellent noise isolation. These USB Type-C earphones deliver crisp highs and deep punchy bass.
“Working with Apple and Google on USB-C projects over the past few years has given us an engineering headstart when it comes to USB-C audio,” said Spencer Pangborn, Director of Product Marketing at Moshi, “Now that major phone makers like Apple, Google, Samsung and others are completely removing the headphone jack, it’s only a matter of time before USB-C headphones become commonplace.”
Boasting better sound quality than their 3.5 mm counterparts, Moshi’s new offerings establish the company as an industry leader in USB-C audio.
