Phiaton MS-400 Carbon Fiber Headphones
High-end audio manufacturers Phiaton have announced their first headphones to be available in the US. The MS-400 have both a distinctive design and, according to Phiaton, “unmatched audiophile quality”; constructed from carbon graphite fiber, they weigh just 6.5oz despite using “studio grade” 40mm electrodynamic drivers.
Other specs include 98dB Sensitivity, 32 Ohm Impedance and a maximum input power of 1000 mW. Phiaton also claim to have worked on the airflow, optimizing it to deliver “concert hall sound quality”, while the carbon fiber is encased in a double-shell high polymer enclosure.
Big boasts, and a not inconsiderable price tag either. The Phiaton MS-400 headphones are available now, priced at $249. They come with a carrying case, into which the MS-400’s fold up.

I have said it before, and I will say it again — PC gamers need a good set of headphones. Headphones are a great way to keep the neighbors/wife/girlfriend/mom from complaining every time you fire up Call of Duty to frag some noobs. Headphones also let you hear more nuances of the sound as well.
