Blue MoFi Headphones - They look like a TRANSFORMER!

2015-09-18
hey what's going on everybody Jays two cents here and if you're a streamer an aspiring streamer or you watch streamers you more than likely have heard of Blue Microphones they make the very popular mics like the blue snowball and the blue Yeti and I actually started my channel with a blue Yeti microphone well blue microphones is just going by blue now because they are making more than just microphones they are now entering into the well they've done this a while ago this is a little bit late on this review so I'm not I know this isn't just happening but anyway they've transitioned into also making audiophile grade headphones like the Mophie right here Mophie multi I know see why that would be a wife I'm gonna call this multi multi but anyway the MOFA here is probably unlike any other headphone you have ever seen you're definitely gonna want to check this out especially if you love your music and you want to take it on the go with you because there's some features in this that are not found in a lot of headsets and it's something you should probably take a look at so don't go anywhere the mastercase 5 and mastercase 5 pro from Coolermaster combines modularity with creativity giving you the freedom to build it your way make it yours by clicking the link down in the description now on the surface they look a lot like an aviation headset or headphones but I want to point out real quick cuz I know a lot of people are gonna ask this is not a head set this is headphones this is made for audio this is made for music this is not a gaming headset so no there is no mic jack on it there is no place to add a mic unless you put something like a mock mic on it I have no idea if it works with Razer surround because I'm not going to test it with Razer surround this is all about music and taking your music with you and taking any device that you plug these into and creating a better listening experience now I started to drop here the chord we're going to take a look at this first some of the accessories that come with it this is a 1.2 meter Apple certified cord so you have all of your controls on here that do work on Apple devices you know play pause volume up volume down and it is keyed on one end to work specifically with well you see it's a really long plug because it goes up right there like that to plug in the headphones so it is a removable cable now the reason why it's a removable cable is because some of the other accessories that come in the box are gonna make this so that this is compatible with a lot of different types of use scenarios if you will now I've had these for a while and I've listened to these quite a bit it took me a long time to get to this review but I can tell you now that I have used these quite a bit to where I'm comfortable and telling you about my experience with them now it comes with a really long three meter cable or approximately near ten feet that you can use to hook up to your computer or another amplifier or stereo or whatever it also includes your adapter to a quarter inch jack so that you can use this with your you know nice and restore a nice high-end receiver or any receiver that you want also has your airplane adapter here so you can listen to these on the go in the airplane and then it comes with pretty much a standard micro USB charging cable with the charging brick now why would you need to charge this nope it's not Wireless that was kind of the first go-to when I saw that these had a charger and stuff when I first saw them at CES I thought that maybe these were convertible to like bluetooth well no they have they actually have their own built-in amplifier now these are designed to actually take the signal coming in to them and add a amplification to them so that you get cleaner richer base crisp highs and you don't have to crank your portable device in order to get good volume out of these now speaking of cranking the device they are 42 ohms so they're not incredibly power demanding when it comes to the ohm rating but they are you know things like iPods and iPhones and Android devices they're not really made to drive nice high-end headphones because they are they are very low-power devices so this thing has its own amplifier in there so it'll take that raw signal coming out of your your device that's sending your music and it's gonna make it sound amazing but it's also gonna make things on rehome receivers your computer maybe a home theater system sound that much better as well now I've got a lot of headphones in here that I've compared these to including other studio-grade headphones and I have to say that the bass on these if you're looking for clean punchy bass nut-nut beats by dre level of bass that's just stupid but clean bass like jazz and a bass drum and a bass guitar really recreate that sound and just make it sound natural these are definitely capable of doing that and they also have a knob right here which is the same place where the plug goes where you can control either turn the EQ or the amp off and then you can turn the amp on and on Plus which is gonna add even more bass to that low end frequency range if that's what you want if you're listening into rap or other pop or other music that has a lot of bass in it then you can tune these to be pretty much beats by dre killers when it comes to being super clear and a ton of bass now one of the ways of the cheves that level of bass is the fact that they are closed back and you've probably already seen it has got probably the biggest ear cups I have ever seen made out of memory foam and leather they are extremely soft they are extremely form-fitting and they are just plush as can freakin be I have never worn a set of headphones that have this much comfort around the ear now undoubtedly you probably noticed this looks more representative of something out of the Terminator movie or something out of the future then you know being audio headphones but that's because they've gone with this really sort of mechanical look here where they've they've stepped away from the traditional headband with a spring and a you know clicky slider for your ear adjustment where everything on here is hinged well start with the headband the headband is hinged as you can see in two different places right here on either side of the adjustment where you can adjust the tension on the headband spring they're also hinged right here where they meet just above your ear so you can see as I separate that they are always going to become form-fitting to where the ear cups are facing straight up and down like they're supposed to be it's not gonna be like other earphones where they when they get wide they might start to camber out like a like a you know stance nation with a car no they they stay pretty much straight and you don't have to worry about going up and down with them or having any swivel on the ear cups like a lot of other manufacturers do making these much more robust and a lot safer to travel with without fear of breaking them now in terms of getting the height set right because I don't slide up and down they have a separate hinge as you can see right here that actually goes up and down like this so you can see if you've you've got like the world's biggest head I mean you see if you've got the world's biggest head you can wear these so it really doesn't matter how big or small your head is yep that one then these are going to fit you because you can pretty much set these up however you want them to be now in terms of comfort on the headband it uses the same leather in the same memory foam found down here on the ear cups up here on the top now these headphones also feature an auto off function where even if the physical knob is turned to on if it's not receiving a signal then it's gonna turn itself off to save the battery charging time takes a couple of hours through a standard microUSB in the charging brick but you can also charge it off of battery packs or your laptop or your computer in fact that's how I've been charging it rather than using the ones that were supplied because I've got enough chargers floating around this house as it is but in terms of sound I'm gonna tell you right now that it definitely makes things sound great now even if the amplifier dies do you still get your sound as if you had been plugged into any other 42 ohm resistance headset or head acupoint head some so used to doing headsets it's not like if the amplifier dies or the battery dies that you can't listen to them anymore it's gonna sound the same as if you plugged in any other headphones straight to your phone and the phone is gonna be powering this and considering they're 42 ohms it's not a not a super low resistance but it's not a lot either so your phone can drive them and even through just the raw input through the phone through the powered signal through the phone it sounds really really good clarity is what really comes to mind when I'm listening to these and yeah they've got some punch in the bass and the mid range is also really clear but the highs are crystal they're super crystal vocals sound very lifelike they're they reproduce all the range in someone's singing voice whether they be a like a baritone or a tenor they sound really really lifelike that's the best way to put it but it doesn't add any funky EQ or any you know surround or anything like that it's just 250 millimeter drivers in a closed back very sealed off ear cup or ear can that's gonna make your listening experience just that much better they're designed to make your device sound better and I think they're actually achieving that the only complaint I have because thing is perfect as far as I'm concerned is regardless of how much I try and adjust the resistance dial on the top here how it says increase and decrease it has to do with the you know the tension on the you know when you widen this out they pinch the ever living crap out of my head and I think that might be because maybe I just I mean I've tried them out a lot but I have not used these you know daily I think if I was to set these you know say on the box or something like let's say I did this with them and just let them sit there for awhile I think they might loosen up a little bit but they start to really squeeze tight on my head and I've got a fairly narrow head so if you've got a round head then this is probably gonna pinch the ever-loving crap out of you in the beginning but I've talked to other people who own these and they say that they do loosen up the spring up here does loosen up a little bit over time and they stop squeezing so bad but I know I have to try a lot of different headsets and things like for instance I've got the g.skill the new g.skill gaming headset over there so that's what's hooked up right now and and I use these more often they probably wouldn't squeeze my head as much but that's something I'm dealing with so it was worth at least mentioning it out there so that's all for today on the blue Mophie headphones and they really take your music and give you a better listening experience and that's what they're designed to do and they're designed to do it at an affordable audiophile level so what that means to you may be different than what it means to me in other people so you're just gonna have to try and find these somewhere and listen to them before you buy but if you are interested in checking out pricing and stuff on this you can see a link down the description and a link e to Amazon which is also gonna
