Blue Microphones Mo-Fi headphones present a challenging proposition for buyers. From a sound-quality perspective, these headphones sound excellent, really. But from a comfort perspective, we feel like Blue got a little ahead of itself. There’s no need...

Poor detail and dynamics; overpowering bass ; Lack precision and control

Inspiring design, but sound is poor

Extremely powerful audio output, with excellent bass response and high frequency clarity. Cool retro design with innovative compression band for secure fit. Can be used in passive and active modes, as well as active with enhanced bass response.

Superb audio reproduction ; Supremely comfortable fit ; Integrated (defeatable) analog amplifier

Doesn't travel well due to its bulky dimensions

My sole reservation has to do with their bulk. If you’re looking for on-the-go headphones, you might find the Mo-Fi’s to be a bit much to stash in your backpack. And while some full-size headphones can rest comfortably around your neck while you’re not...
