The headphones industry can be a very competitive one – but this should not be a deterrent for companies who intend to make a splash or at least, a difference in what the masses might want. Definitive Technology, who happens to be a market leader in high-end loudspeaker solutions, has decided to venture into the headphones market with its first-ever pair this CES, where this particular attempt has been christened as the Definitive Technology Symphony 1. Just what will the Symphony 1 headphones bring to the market?

For starters, Symphony 1 will merge wireless Bluetooth connectivity, a striking aesthetic, and advanced active noise cancellation into a sleek and modern design that ought to please just about everyone. With a company that is well known for its high performance home audio solutions behind it, the Symphony 1 looks set to be worth a try – at least for those who would want to cocoon themselves in their very own aural world, being encased in true high-performance sound.

Perfect for frequent travelers, you can have a noisy environment while you are in a plane or on a train, but the Symphony 1 ought to do its bit to help you maximize the level of enjoyment as your favorite track plays while all other pesky background noise is drowned out. The Symphony 1 would arrive wrapped in dark leather, where it will be accompanied by machined aluminum construction Boasting of 50mm drivers that create rich detail, full fidelity and deep bass, there is also a built-in digital-analog converter that paves the way for the highest level of quality transmission from any digital source.

On the outside, you will be able to find tactile on-ear controls on the Symphony 1 that deliver convenient control of all primary functions. Apart from that, a couple of integrated telephone microphones would let you make the seamless transition from personal listening to making important calls with uninterrupted sound. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery is capable of delivering up to 10 hours of play time even with noise cancellation turned on. Each $399 purchase (available from February onward) will be accompanied by a convenient leather carrying case and a soft travel pouch for added protection while traveling.
