PRESS RELEASE

MF200s - Better by design, build and performance

World renowned British Hi-Fi brand Musical Fidelity will seek to build on the success of its first on-ear model - the acclaimed MF100 - with a new higher specification and performance product: the MF200 priced at £229 and available in December 2014 from Richer Sounds, Superfi and specialist hi-fi dealers nationwide.

The new MF200 headphones follow Musical Fidelity's philosophy that their products should give an accurate, faithful and transparent reproduction of the original recording - avoiding the fashion for ‘tuning' sound.

Based on the original concept of the MF100s, the MF200s represent a significant upgrade in all respects: design, construction, materials and sonic performance.

Sound upgrade

A carefully redesigned enclosure structure both inside and out - with new and more inert materials - combine to help minimise reflections and standing waves, creating a clearer, more natural sound taking you even closer to the original recording.

The 40mm drivers have been specially selected and paired for very tight tolerance and are punched from a single sheet of material to ensure a constant thickness.  The engineering team has taken great care to ensure that the MF200 is exceptionally neutral and accurate, with a flat, wide frequency response and very low distortion.

Large and powerful neodymium magnets are specified for both sets with a shallow voice coil featuring extra thin windings to create a highly efficient motor assembly.

Primarily a closed design - to ensure minimal sound leakage either out or in - the MF200s also include a series of fine vents to reproduce the more spacious sound normally associated with open-back headphones.

The headphones are also sensitive and easy to drive, making their exceptional sound quality readily available to all tablet, PC and smartphone users.

Style upgrade

Musical Fidelity have created a truly luxurious headphone with the MF200 featuring beautifully machined and polished metal, soft-touch leather and a high quality finish throughout.

Now a signature feature of the brand's headphone range, the MF200 features the subtle but attractive ear piece colour coding to give instant recognition of the left and right channel.

The MF200 features a tough, an anti-tangle, rubberised cable and a choice of either padded leather of alcantara suede, interchangeable, ear pads with memory foam insert specially selected for both its acoustic properties and comfort.

The ear-pieces can be folded when not in use making the MF200 easy to store in the included suede effect carry bag.

An in-line mic/mute control makes taking or making calls easy for smartphone users.
