Alpine is best known for building in-dash car audio systems, but they’ve done a terrific job designing a more intimate audio device: Alpine Headphones. The instant I wrapped these sleek, comfy phones around my head and hit play on my iPhone, I could literally feel my music.
That’s because Alpine has put a bass transducer in the headband that essentially turns your skull into subwoofer. Sure, it’s a little gimmicky, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. I love bass, and I’m not exaggerating when I say these headphones made me remember why I love music.
This being the company’s first very first foray into the headphone market, these headphones aren't perfect. While the thumping bass beat will make a bass-lover cry tears of joy, the phones do have a few design shortcomings. If Alpine enjoys market success with this first round and takes user feedback to heart, I imagine its second-generation product will be damn near perfect.
