PSB Speakers, the premium hi-fi loudspeaker brand, has announced the launch of the M4U 9 and M4U TWM headphones, the latest additions to its high-performance M4U line. The headphones offer sound personalization options through a partnership with Audiodo Personal Sound™ and PSB’s RoomFeel™ technology, resulting in stunning presentation of musical detail. The M4U 9 is a wireless active noise cancelling over-ear headphone, while the M4U TWM is a true wireless micro planar earphone. Both headphones feature enhanced Bluetooth technology, delivering dynamic low latency and an adaptive bit rate, and can be customized using the PSB Headphones app.
The M4U 9 features graphene-infused drivers, enabling a “true-to-nature” sonic signature that is crisp and powerful. The headphone offers all-digital active noise cancelling capabilities and features 4 digital MEMS microphones, which work to decrease audio conversion errors in audio processing for pure noise-free listening. The M4U 9 is designed to provide excellent seal and ergonomic comfort, thanks to gyro-suspended, fabric and leatherette earpads tilted at 15 degrees, and offers a battery life of up to 25 hours in Active Mode.
The M4U TWM earbuds are designed with a Hybrid Planar dual driver, leveraging powerful Magneto-Static technology that reproduces sound with crisp highs, natural midrange, and deep lush bass. The earphones come with a smart USB-C charging case that provides up to 32 hours of extended play time, and the earphones themselves offer 8 hours of playtime outside the case. The M4U TWM also features hardclick buttons on both earphones for hands-free music control and voice calls.
Both headphones offer Audiodo Personal Sound™ technology, which allows listeners to calibrate their headphones to accommodate for the listening qualities of their left and right ears independently. The PSB Headphones app is available for users to adjust settings, check battery levels, and keep the headphones up-to-date with the latest firmware updates and codes.
One of the standout features of the PSB M4U 9 and M4U TWM headphones is the Audiodo Personal Sound technology. This feature sets the headphones apart from competitors by offering a unique way for users to customize their listening experience. By using a simple hearing assessment accessed through the PSB Headphones app, Audiodo Personal Sound maps out a precise and thorough understanding of the listener’s hearing, calculates what changes need to be made based on personal sound perception, and formulates a compensation curve for the listener that can be applied to the overall headphone sound. This technology allows users to calibrate their headphones to their own unique listening preferences, making for a more personalized and immersive audio experience.
The PSB M4U 9 headphones also feature aptX Adaptive Bluetooth technology, which enables fast and easy pairing with any device and supports up to 24-bit high-definition audio. The all-digital active noise cancelling (ANC) capabilities utilize four digital MEMS microphones to decrease audio conversion errors in audio processing for pure noise-free listening, while two additional mics for cVc technology deliver crystal clear call quality. The M4U 9 also features a three-position mode switch that allows users to choose between ANC with RoomFeel, Active with RoomFeel, or a Passive mode.
The M4U TWM earbuds leverage powerful Magneto-Static technology in a Hybrid Planar dual driver design, utilizing the same technology found in high-end magneto loudspeakers and fitting them into remarkably compact earbuds. Dedicated transducers, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies, work together to make the in-ear listening experience truly pristine, reproducing sound with crisp highs, natural midrange, and deep lush bass. Enhanced aptX Adaptive Bluetooth technology keeps everything in sync from movies to games with dynamic low latency and an adaptive bit rate.
Overall, the PSB M4U 9 and M4U TWM headphones offer a unique and personalized listening experience through their use of Audiodo Personal Sound technology and proprietary RoomFeel tuning. With their premium materials, adaptive audio technologies, and intelligent features, they represent the ultimate in mobile luxe listening. Available for demo at the AXPONA Audio Expo from April 14-16, 2023, and with retail availability starting June 2023, with the M4U 9 retailing for US$499 / CA$699 / €549 / £449 and the M4U TWM retailing for US$199 / CA$299 / €229 / £199. These headphones are sure to be a hit with audiophiles and music lovers alike.
