PSB M4U 1 & M4U 2 Headphones
Headphones That Sound Like Speakers
With the M4U (Music for You) series, PSB applies its four decades of experience making great-sounding speakers to the world of high-performance headphones. Great for at home and on the go, these comfortable over-ear cans boast Room Feel™: a technology that aims to make headphones sound like a pair of flat-measuring full-range speakers set up in an ideal room environment. The self-adjusting ear pads and expandable headband provide a precise fit, while dual input connections on either side mean no more crossed wires. The M4U 2 offers the added benefit of three modes: Active Noise Cancellation, Active, and Passive. Active mode runs the headphones with a built-in amplifier, great for pairing with a high-quality mobile source, while ANC adds noise canceling. The M4U 2 can last up to 55 hours on a single charge—and if your battery runs out, switch to passive mode without missing a beat.
Note: At checkout, choose the M4U 1 in gray or red (base price), or the M4U 2 in white (+ $70).
The Reviews Are In
Head-Fi user MrMateoHead gave the M4U 1 a 4.5-star review, saying, “In all honesty, I could have transplanted any song from one category to another. The M4U 1 made short work of any track I chose. Detailed, textured, clean, transparent, natural, and pure. It is difficult for me to find anything negative to say about their overall sound.” Of the M4U 2, Sound & Visionsays, “The bass sounds extremely smooth and tight, the mids are exceptionally clear, and the highs are rich and detailed. We were also shocked to hear how little difference there was in the sound when we switched among the passive, active, and ANC modes.”
