Minimalist Matte Headphones

Nextbit's Matte Black Headphones Have a Crisp Sound and a Pop of Color

— May 6, 2016 — Tech
Nextbit's stylish black headphones offer a simple design for the musically inclined minimalist with professional-quality sound. The 'AIAIAI TMA-2 Headphones' are contrasted with a bright mint cable that flows from them, offering a welcome pop of color. They sport soft ear cushions as well and aren't too stiff in order to prevent discomfort. This in turn makes them awesome for travel or all-day wear.

The impressive sound quality packs a lot of bass but is not overpowering either, allowing them to carry the smooth rhythms of any genre, the speaker delivering a "vibrant and detailed sound." The flashy mint cord offers a built-in microphone and a button to skip songs more conveniently. Noise-cancelling technology ensures that users' listening experience goes uninterrupted by pesky outside noise and guarantees that embarrassing guilty listening pleasures remain your secret. The matte black headphones can be purchased online and shipped internationally.

Industry Implications
