Phiaton adds stylish color options to two wireless headphone models

Since wireless headphones first began to rise in popularity, Phiaton has been there, offering a range of models that placed just as much emphasis on stylish looks as audio quality. The company hasn’t slowed down when it comes to that approach, as today it announced new color varieties for two of its most popular models, the BT 460 wireless headphones and the BT 100 NC wireless noise-canceling earphones.

We had the chance to check out the BT 460 headphones last year and came away with a favorable impression, though they weren’t without a few minor issues. Now those headphones, which initially came in a white finish with red highlights, come in a slightly muted white and pink variant — referred to simply as pink by the company — and a black finish with highlights that the company calls violet.

Similarly, the BT 100 NC earphones, which use a “neckbud” design, have one color variant that is similar to the original black and red color scheme, and one that is more radically different. Though it’s referred to as grey, the first color option is similar to the Space Gray color scheme used in several Apple products. The other option, blue, is exactly what it sounds like, though it’s a somewhat darker blue rather than a sky blue.

Both models feature Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity with aptX, multipoint connectivity for connecting two Bluetooth devices at once, and the ability to plug in and listen via a wired connection, even if the battery is completely drained. The BT 460 offer touch-based controls and detect whether or not you’re wearing the headphones to automatically pause and resume playback. The BT 100 NC, on the other hand, offer active noise cancellation and are IPX4-rated for sweat and water resistance.

The color varieties for the new models are available starting today, with the BT 460 selling for $200 and the BT 100 NC priced at $100. For more information on the headphones or where to buy them, see the model pages for the BT 460 and the BT 100 NC on the Phiaton website.

Focal’s first wireless headphones promise ANC and hi-fi sound for $799
Focal Bathys wireless headphones.

Well-heeled audiophiles now have a new choice when it comes to wireless headphones. Focal, the French audio icon known for its superb but pricey wired headphones, has released its first-ever Bluetooth, noise-canceling headphones, the $799 Focal Bathys. The black and silver cans are available starting October 4 at a limited selection of retailers.

The Bathys take their name from the word bathyscaphe, a specialized submarine capable of extremely deep dives, which, Focal says, is the embodiment of absolute silence and calm. Focal fans will find plenty of familiar touches, like the Bathys' deeply padded, leather-wrapped ear cushions and headband, a set of perforated earcup grilles that use Focal's distinct multi-circle pattern, and high-quality materials like aluminum and magnesium.

Adidas gives its wireless on-ear workout headphones a solar-powered boost
Adidas RPT-02 SOL solar-powered headphones.

Adidas' popular RPT-01 on-ear workout headphones have been redesigned to work with a power source that will be with you wherever your outdoor training sessions take you. The $229 or 200 British pounds Adidas RPT-02 SOL are equipped with a headband that can harvest solar energy, which is used to keep their internal rechargeable battery topped up with power. It goes on sale August 23 at adidasheadphones.com.

It's not the first time a company has released a set of solar-powered headphones. Urbanista did that in 2021 with its Los Angeles headphones. But the Los Angeles are a larger, over-ear model that aren't especially well suited to workouts, which arguably makes the Adidas RPT-02 SOL a better fit for the benefits of solar charging.

New Audio-Technica M50xBT2 headphones add new features, retain iconic design
Audio Technica ATH M50xBT2 cups seen from the side.

Audio-Technica has announced the ATH-M50xBT2 Bluetooth headphones. An update to the first-generation ATH-M50xBT launched in 2018, they continue to share the iconic design made popular by the original wired M50 headphones, which have long been a staple sight in recording studios since release in 2007. For this new pair Audio-Technica has updated, rather than drastically altered, the features and technology inside.

On the audio side support for the AAC and LDAC codecs has been added, increasing the headphones versatility, but there’s no mention of AptX in the press release, which was a feature on the M50xBT. A low latency mode for gaming and video has been added and is controlled through an accompanying app, which also has the option to select your voice assistant of choice. The headphones support Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. Also in the app is an adjustable equalizer and a find-my-headphone feature.
