  4. MONDO by Defunc: retro looking headphones with positively progressive audio delivery

    I’ve had the same set of headphone on every night for the past seven nights, putting the final touches to an album I am producing via awesome vinyl creation site, Elastic Stage. The same set of headphones have served me well for the past couple of years but it’s always nice to introduce a new pair to the audio accessory fold.

    So I was thrilled when a package arrived from MONDO by Defunc, a Swedish manufacturer of fine audio gear – so fine, their prices are generally in German when you go shopping for them online, and we know how seriously the Germans take their tech. I did, of course, find an Australian website for the brand and am glad I did – the prices here are that much friendlier!

    The headphones themselves look like those old school ones, particularly the ones you used to get on aeroplanes to tune into the airline’s tinny sound system. Alas, MONDO by Defunc ‘phones are far from tacky technology – rather they deliver deep bass in a lightweight form that kept them on my head for most of the first day of unpacking them.

    These on-ear freestyle headphones are easily paired to your listening device via Bluetooth and truly are a symphony of Swedish sound engineering and cool retro style. When fully charged, they offer up to 22 hours of playtime, and boast a rich sound experience and plenty of hands-on functionality.

    Easily rotating controls on each side put the power of sound right at your fingertips, and here you can change follow, skip tracks, or go back to favourite ones. For the fully customised listening experience, you just need to download the MONDO app, where you can adjust your EQ settings to personalise your listening experience. I like my audio with Dolby Atmos on, and let me tell you, the journey of sound these headphones take me on is one well worth writing home about.

    I took them with me on a trip overseas recently and, referring back to that album I’m producing, figured I’d listen to every track fully mastered, to see which ones would make the final cut on my record. The looks I got from fellow passengers whilst flying were ones of confusion at first – they thought I had somehow gotten hold of a pair of the aforementioned ye olde headsets, then realised something clearly more hip was sitting atop my head.

    In full Atmos mode, I could hear every nuance of every song – a trippy echo here, reverbed bass there – you name it, the MONDO by Defunc headphones pick it up and play it back in full glorious stereophonic mode.

    I’m also now testing my album tracks on the MONDO by Defunc Bluetooth Speaker, but that’s for another review, on its way soon.

    In the meantime, check out the website of these masters of audio engineering and rest assured you’re investing in some quality audio product. I’ve worked within the music industry for decades, so I mean it when I say these headphones – which retail for under a hundred dollars – are seriously good.

  28. CW: Wireless Earphones, quality/cost

    Earphone, headphone, iems, and the lot of em. As a recovering audiophile... Trying to balance the cost, convenience, aquistical enjoyment, the problems with proprietary device. Talking about you Apple. Since I've dumped my iPhone for a De-Googled Graphene OS on a Pixal 9 phone (plans for the Motorola Signature 2027), ive still been using the airpod pro gen2. Its was that or a nice pair of IEMs wired. But you know wires... The tangles, the fit, the yanking the iems out of your ear when you catch that wire 😵 So finding that sweetspot for a true-wireless earphone more suited to this phone that isn't $250-400 USD! My Sennheiser TW momentum 3 where glitch and then failed. Sennheisers online fix is terrible. I never got them warranted fixed after several attempts. Never again Sennheiser! The
    Sony WF-1000XM5 where okay but i lost two pair of the right side and didn't seem worth buying a third set or upgrading. It cost more to get a replacement earbud than a refurbished pair. After a few days of research and consideration I went with Ear Fun air pro 4+, over the 4, Technics, Anker, and a few others. Really happy so far with moderately priced unit. The sound is really sharp, has good ANC, very good battery life for both the buds and the case. The quality is very good. And thry are comforable. The app has what youd want from a modern highend earphone, battery stats, equinizer, lost ear piece (sound only), other features need a network connection, nope. #audio #wireless #earphones #

  32. The earpad covers left us long ago, and now my trusty Logitech G-Pro headphones have finally died (actually the sound is still fine, the headband part snapped so I can't wear them which is kind of problematic).

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement please? I need a set with a good quality microphone. I've been happy with these. Are the newer models still good or is there another brand / model I should consider please?

  38. I'm really thinking of buying these together with a portable DAC AMP. I have read lots of great reviews for a IEM that costs less than 320 euros.

    At the same time, I'm getting tired of bluetooth earphones/headphones and their endless list of tradeoffs. Noise cancelling vs frequency response vs audio reprodution accuracy. It's all very tiring and anxiety-inducing, because you're always afraid of spending lots of money on something that you will eventually regret buying.

    At least with a decent pair of IEMs like these, you can get the best of these three factors. Whenever you need a microphone, you can always use something like the AirPods Pro 2/3.
