We’re always wary of the power of marketing over real gadget substance, but we’ll be the first to admit that the name ‘FloatingCushions’ just makes you want to pick up these new headphones from Philips and nestle them against your ears.
Of course, that’s just the idea Philips has in mind, but to its credit, there’s more at play here than simply clever marketing. The FloatingCushions range, covering six models in all, has been designed to adjust automatically to your ear shape, distributing pressure evenly and subtly shaping itself to your specific lug-holes using the wonder of memory-foam.
That also assists in terms of sound quality, Philips says, with less of that precious audio juice escaping through the gaps between the cans and your ears.
Aluminium construction makes sure they won’t be a weight around your head, while a couple of the models fold flat for easier transportation.
The new headphones were shown off as part of Philips’ big product reveal for the year over in Barcelona, so we’ve yet to hear any UK prices or release dates. But we’ll be keeping our ear to the ground, as it were
