RHA Announces MA650i, Apple Lightning Compatible Headphones

When it comes to the 3.5″ jack I would like to be one of those “from my cold…” type of people, but frankly I love new tech too much to hang on to the old stuff, even when it works so damn well. Lightning and USB-C headphones solve two of the biggest issues I have with the euthanization of the standard headphone – wired is better, and tracking battery life of your headphones sucks. So I’m thrilled to see that one of my favorite audio companies, RHA, is bringing out a Lightning version of their MA650i headphones. Even better, they’re only $60. Which, if they sound as good as the standard MA650 is a steal.
