Musical Fidelity launches balanced headphone system

Musical Fidelity is bringing balanced connections, normally reserved for high-end AV products, to a more affordable headphone system.

The company cites the benefits of balanced connections as reduced noise and interference, and the ability to run the system as a dual mono design that doubles the power and halves the impedance.

Available in May, the two components will be available separately at £250 each or as a pair for £450.
