San Francissco, California deejay/turntablist Mixmaster Mike is the latest Hip Hop artist to receive specially-designed headphones by Skull Candy. Last Wednesday, the headphones were revealed in Park City, Utah after the Beastie Boys’ deejay had been developing the model with the electronics company for a reported 16 months.
The headphones boast the following specially-designed features:
– Dual channel cue control when a single ear cup articulate, drive the entire mix into one ear.
– Ambidextrous audio inputs, so you can run your cord either ring or wrong handed.
– One-touch mute allowing you to silence the loud to check the crowd.
Serious to be the only headphone in a DH’s arsenal, and versatile enough to be the only headphone for your daily battle, other features include:
– Huge 50mm drives.
– Plush soft-touch ear pads.
– Extra cable with in-line mic and music control.
– Rugged 3-piece folding body constructed of ABS, polycarbonate, stainless steel and aluminum.
The MixMaster’s are definitely impressive. This is the first hint I’ve seen of pricing information. Thanks. I still haven’t seen a release date for when us commoners can get these?
Forgot to mention that I’ll definitely be doing a review of these headphones as soon as I can get my hands on them. Check out http://skullcandyreview.com for my thoughts on existing models like Hesh, SK Pro DJ, INK’d earbuds, etc.
