Executive Traveller has just “tried and tested” the Musical Fidelity EB-50 headphone. When you choose a headphone you do not want to be confined to a “one size fits all” ear bud. You want to achieve the best sound quality and to be able to select the ear bud which is the correct seal in your ear canal. Musical Fidelity’s EB-50 headphones provide just that. The headphone is supplied with various sizes of ear buds in an accessory box, allowing you to select the size that best fits your ears and whatever your ear bud, it ensures the perfect seal.
Musical Fidelity is one of the best-known brands in the Hi-Fi industry. Driven by a passion for music and world-class engineering, they have decades of experience at the top-end of the audio industry. We are pleased to say that the EB-50 headphone we “tried and tested” provides excellent studio-quality audio sound.
Design
Musical Fidelity’s EB-50 headphones have been designed and developed to provide the same peerless sound definition as their world-famous sound systems. They provide listeners with a ruler-flat frequency level and deep, clear bass.
The streamlined silver barrels of the earpieces encased in military-grade aluminium offer discrete style and peerless sound quality. They are strong, anti-resonant in-ear and set a new benchmark for in-ear monitors.
Our verdict
The EB-50 headphones reproduce music distinctively – inertia-free, with an excellent dynamic range and extremely low distortion.
