Out of the numerous audio companies crafting earphones for the world, it can get difficult to find which ones are quality and which ones are crap. I know first-hand. I have purchased several earphones throughout the years on a quest to find great sound (bass + clarity), great design & comfort. You probably won’t be surprised at the amount of companies can’t even provide great sound. I could them but I prefer to guide you to the better ones.
A representative from RHA Audio reached out to us a while to review the MA350s. I had previously heard some great things about them and their products from some of my colleagues as I couldn’t wait to give them a spin. I have and this is my story.
Design
RHA Audio is a UK-based company that specializes in audio products. These earphones may appear to look like your average earphones but there is more than meets the eye. The MA350s are noise-isolating thanks to the silicon tips that ship with them. The tips offers a unique internal design that we’ll get into later. The cords are covered in fabric to prevent tangling + the tips are crafted from a solid aluminum. Hat tip off to the RHA folk overseas.
Sound
Inside of the MA350s lies a 10mm driver combined with RHA’s aerophonic design of a trumpet’s bell to send sound from the speaker – directly into the ear. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the great balance of clarity and bass. I made sure to test out RHA’s earphones on both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S4.
RHA Audio = audio excellence
The results led to audio perfection on both devices. On a variety of music it reproduced the sound accurately – from the MagnaCarter to Yeezus to Coldplay to Rihanna to Sade. Everything sounded so clear that I couldn’t turn the music up to 90%, it was actually too loud at the gym. A rare but great experience for me.
RHA is producing audio that bests that of its competitors at half the price.
TG 2 Cents
RHA Audio is one of the few companies that goes against the adage of: you get what you pay for. These easily have the quality of earphones that are at least double the price. The MA350s do not offer an inline mic but if you need that feature, look into the MA450i series. While many of you may have never heard of the company, it is a name you must get familiar with. Definitely looking forward to review more products from RHA Audio as they have captured my attention and the MA350s will do the same for you.
To Buy Or Not To Buy
Easily the best earphones in its class with an attractive price tag. You can pick these up on Amazon for only $39.95 w/ a 3-year warranty. This is a must buy hands-down.
*Thanks to the great folks over at RHA Audio.
