PRESS RELEASE
Boasting better sound quality than their 3.5 mm counterparts, Moshi’s new offerings are ideal for new smartphones
Moshi, the accessory design house, has announced two new products in its expanding USB-C audio collection: 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. Both the Mythro C earphones and Avanti C headphones are equipped with a DAC, and offer high-resolution audio (24-bit/96 kHz) with a Class G amplifier. Mythro C and Avanti C are both available to buy from Moshi for £49.95 and £219.95.
Establishing themselves as a leader in USB-C audio, Spencer Pangborn, Director of Product Marketing said, “Working with Apple and Google on USB-C projects over the past few years has given us an engineering head start when it comes to USB-C audio. 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.”
“Wireless audio solutions will remain popular, but true aficionados will continue using wired headsets since there’s no bandwidth limitation or charging required. USB-C audio also offers superior sound quality because the analogue cable runs are shorter thanks to the digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) being located near the drivers.”
