The PS 20 and PS 20 NC are new half in-ear headphones from Phiaton. It's an interesting design that was created to combine the bass response of in-ears with the high frequency response of open-ear style headphones.
Both PS 20 models offer a snug fit, just outside the ear canal. They're made of lightweight aluminum and come with four sizes of silicon tips. Both the 20 and the 20 NC offer a nice wide range of frequency and Phiaton's Applied Dynamic Speaker Driver, but only the PS 20 NC sports the company's exclusive "Noise Blocker" tech. It's a noise cancellation technology that eliminates 95 percent of outside noise. Unlike traditional noise cancelling headphones, the PS 20 NC will keep your music going when the battery dies. You can pick up the PS 20 in August at a price of $79 while the PS 20 NC will be available in July at $129.
