RHA MA450i Noise Isolating Earphones [First Look]

by Mike Richard

British manufacturer RHA has recently released their line of headphones and earphones for the first time in the US. Of note: the company’s flagship MA450i noise isolating earphones.

In addition to sounding fantastic, they’re also ultra-durable. The shell is constructed of aircraft grade aluminum, while the cord consists of reinforced copper cable inside a braided fabric enclosure. An inline remote allows users to skip tracks, adjust volume and pause/play tunes on any iPhone/iPad/iPod. To ensure a snug but comfortable fit, they feature a choice of seven pairs of soft silicone ear-tips.

Pricing & Availability

Available now in black or white for under $50 (USD) direct from Apple.
