Thing is, the Japanese manufacturer more »Continue reading Nintendo Sales Up but Still Saw a Huge Net Loss  When I feel like I need to get away and take off somewhere, my best and least-expensive ways to travel are through books and music. TV? The trips are never long enough for my liking. There's nothing like immersing one's self into a great book or music album. Lately, I've been on a musical kick, and I believe I have developed a problem. I can't stay perfectly content with headphones, no matter how great they are. After awhile I start to wonder if there is more or better. So I look and test. Since I plan on attending CES 2014, I felt that headphones with active noise cancelling would benefit me greatly. Not simply at a convention, but I can appreciate being able to shut out environmental noise around me when I'm in public places (e.g. coffee shops, pubs, etc.) and want to work in my own space. What do I have on-hand right now? The Phiaton Chord MS 530. These on-ear headphones feature both Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X technology as well as active noise cancellation, though it was the sophisticated design that originally caught my eye. So far, they haven't disappointed. Design The Phiaton Chord MS 530 showcases an elegance with its modern headphone styling. The combination of lightweight metal and durable plastic delivers a sense of quality, that one can expect the headphones to last for quite some time. The band is thick and flexible with the right amount of springiness.  It's got a clean and sophisticated look The headphones fold down for easier and more secure carrying, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it "compact." Or at least as compact as some other folding headphones. Part of the reason why is due to the way the metal band holding the earcups sort of flares out a bit. But that part is made for comfort. In terms of construction quality, my biggest concern comes from the way the earcups are mounted. It's plastic on plastic, with the click adjustment of the earpads right in the middle. I suspect that sufficient torque or force by drop will snap off an earcup before anything else. Despite that concern, the rest of the headphones feel solid. The hinges are metal on metal, which lock the headphones in place and won't wear down through time. I went over the entire product looking to pry apart any seams or points where two materials joined. Nothing is left loose or unsecured. I strongly recommend a hard case for the Phiaton Chord MS 530. If you get one with some extra space, you can also fit the included cables and in-flight adapter. The soft bag that comes with the headphones is nice, but any gear I own that would get tossed into a pack deserves a hard case. Especially if it has some slightly wiggly parts, like these headphones' earpads. Durability aside, these headphones look cool, especially with no cords in sight on the build. It's a shame that the pops of color are only on the insides where no one can see them. Comfort As always, one should focus on the comfort of headphones before deciding on the sound quality. You're going to have to like wearing them in order to enjoy any and all music being played.  Cushy earpads do get a little… Continue reading GadgeTell Review: Phiaton Chord MS 530 BT NFC Headphones  Google unveiled its long-rumored Nexus 5 yesterday along with its next-generation operating system, Android 4.4 KitKat.
