We
have another exotic headphone review and this time a Scuderia rather
than a Cavellino. Headphones, more specifically the officially licensed Ferrari Scuderia R300 Active Noise Cancelling headphones. Similar to
that of the previously reviewed T350, these come equipped with 40mm
drivers, crafted metal arms, and breathable padding to go over the ear
to seal in the sound and block out ambient noises. Having been inspired
by the Scuderia racing team the design is meant to resemble that of the
world famous GT Car’s aerodynamic air vents and traditional grille.
There
is no doubt about it, Logic3 has put together a headphone that is built
to a look and standard that the likes of a prestigious brand like
Ferrari is willing to put their stamp of approval on. With the R300, the
Active Noise Canceling is superb, blocking out a tremendous amount of
outside noise, while providing a monitor buttons for those inflight
beverage orders and to see if it was the doorbell you thought you heard.
Once the outside noise is blocked out, the aural bliss that comes from
the large drivers are well tuned to provide a broad range of sound to
most any walk of music. Lastly, these are incredibly comfortable and
easy to wear for hours on end, as long as you are not wearing earrings.
While
the R300 sports the over ear fit, it is a tighter fit than that of the
T350. I have plugs in my earlobes and noticed them being pushed into my
neck., but without the plugs they felt soft and snug and most of all
provided that “seal”. With the Active Noise Cancelling comes a need for
battery surplus. Requiring two AA batteries for use, I went through a
pair a week from daily use while at work, so make sure you have spares
on hand as they turn into a stunning desk ornament without juice. I am
not sure what the reason for the folding arms were, because they go into
the carrying case unfolded, almost seems like they were headed in one
direction and did not design the case around this ability.
