Wireless connectivity and active noise cancellation typically aren't the features audiophiles look for in high-end headphones. Blue Microphones is looking to change that perception with its new Satellite headphones, announced at CES 2017.
In addition to those features, Blue's new Satellite has an integrated 240mW Class AB amplifier, which the company is pitching as "audiophile" grade, connected to a pair of 44mm dynamic drivers. The amp is powered by a 1000mAah battery.
The amp offers three settings: An “ON” mode that doesn't add any coloration to the sound, while “ON+” adds a slight bump at 63Hz, which Blue says is just right for restoring the low-end character of music mastered in the era of vinyl. The third mode shuts the onboard amp altogether, so you use the external headphone amp of your choice.
