Orange "O" Edition MKII Wireless Headphones: Advanced ANC and Audiophile Performance
Orange, renowned for their iconic guitar amplifiers, has expanded their audio portfolio with the release of the new “O” Edition MKII wireless over-ear headphones. Building on the success of the original model, the MKII version introduces advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and positions itself competitively among the top-tier wireless headphones in the market.
These headphones are equipped with 40mm wideband drivers featuring closely spaced voice coils, engineered to deliver what Orange describes as an “excellent dynamic range and depth with clear, impeccable, high-quality sound.” The ANC system is a standout feature, offering three preset modes that users can adjust via a physical button or through the Orange Amps mobile app. This allows for seamless customization of the noise-cancellation levels to suit different listening environments.
Connectivity is robust, utilizing Bluetooth 5.2 for stable pairing across multiple devices and ensuring ample bandwidth for lossless audio streaming. Additionally, there is a standard 3.5mm analog input for those who prefer a wired connection. The right earcup houses touch-sensitive controls for playback, call management, and volume adjustment, enhancing the user experience with intuitive operation. The integrated microphone facilitates easy switching between listening sessions.
Battery life is impressive, with the MKII model offering up to 50 hours of playback on a single charge. For those in a hurry, the rapid charging feature provides seven hours of use with just a 15-minute charge via USB-C. The headphones come in a sleek orange and black color scheme and are priced at $229, making them a compelling choice for audiophiles seeking both style and performance.
The Orange “O” Edition MKII headphones are now available through major retailers, promising to deliver a balanced combination of high-fidelity sound and sophisticated noise management. With the added functionality of the Orange Amps app, users can fine-tune their listening experience, making these headphones a versatile addition to any audio enthusiast’s collection.
