Gizmag reviews Phiaton's MODERNA MS 200 in-ear earphones
The MS 200s grip on the ear slightly to help keep the earphones in place
The quality box effectively sets the scene for the excellent audio quality to come
In the box – MS 200 earphones, black and red carry case, four sets of soft silicon tips, a pair of RightFit tips, a set of Comply foam tips and documentation
Exploded view of the MS 200 earphones
The MS 200s come supplied with four sets of soft silicone tips, a pair of proprietary RightFit tips and some Comply foam tips
There's a tangle-resistant oval-shaped cord in striking red, with a built-in iOS-friendly microphone and playback control
The body is double-shelled to help reduce leakage and the outer face is made from carbon graphite
The dual-chamber structure of the MS 200s may look a little odd to those not familiar with Phiaton, but the company says that when combined with the five tuning points (air vents), the design optimizes air circulation for enhanced crystal clear sound, rich detail and clean, highlighted bass
Each ear piece has a custom 14.3-mm dynamic speaker driver with an acoustic damper in front
The MS 200s have a frequency response of 10 Hz - 27 kHz, a total harmonic distortion of less than 1 percent at 1 kHz, and a 100 dB (at 1 kHz) sensitivity
The very comfortable Comply foam tips that come supplied with the MS 200 earphones
The RightFit tips are ergonomically shaped for a secure, comfortable fit while exercising
The front of the playback control positioned midway between the Y junction and the right earpiece
The built-in microphone on the reverse of the playback control
Article Summary
The Phiaton Corporation (a subsidiary of Korean audio veterans Cresyn) has added a new member to its purist-pleasing MODERNA Series headphones. The bold red and black design of the MS 200 half-in-ear earphones is certainly an attention-grabber and the carbon fiber panels are sure to provide conversation fodder, but how do these undeniably stylish phones actually perform? Gizmag has spent the last few weeks exploring that very question ... and we're suitably impressed.
