While we all know that Meizu is planning to release a pair of headphones in partnership with AKG tomorrow, what we didn’t know is that Meizu have also apparently partnered with German Audio company Beyerdynamics to release a pair of headphones tomorrow as well!
Beyerdynamics recently posted a picture on their Weibo page of a box with the names of both Beyerdynamics Meizu on it, as well as the date “15/4” which is the exact same date that AKG and Meizu are scheduled to release their pair of headphones. This could mean that Meizu has more than one pair of headphones to reveal tomorrow.
Gizchina News of the week
Given Beyerdynamic’s track record, it’s probably that this pair headphones will be aimed squarely at audiophiles, and will cost more than $500. It may even be that this will be Meizu’s most expensive product thus far.
April is looking to be one of the most exciting times for Chinese devices, what with Lollipop updates, new phones releases and plenty of accessories coming around. What do you think about this news?
I think these headphones are going to be expensive/overpriced products primarily aimed at improving Meizu’s brand image.
But thats without having seen any product nor knowing what the price is going to be 😉 But I cant imagine Meizu selling it for cheaper than Xiaomi’s headphones which does “not even” have an established headphone brand sticker on the box.
Err, beyer also has products aimed at lower end market. Lots in fact.
Really? The only cheap Beyer cans I can remember that had good quality and an affordable price was the DTX 350p. Then again, I never really payed much attention to Beyer’s lower end propositions. If you’re going budget, then Superlux is the way to go most of the time.
Lets face it – both companies like the chinese marketing model eg.need more low end customers because their lowen. Offerings are quite um.. bland so they team up with meizu for a bargain priced “flagship” i hope they dont go the oppo wah though as the pm1 but amazing headphones for 1000 dollars maybe the best in its range
