Lovegrove previously worked with the brand to design Muon speakers, Muo portable speakers and Mu3 headphones. This MU7 helmet offered at €399 will be available at the end of November 2022.
Available in two stylish colorways, silver gray and charcoal gray, the Mu7 headphones feature an ergonomic, precision-engineered aluminum construction.
A lightweight and durable headband provides a perfect acoustic seal, with minimal pressure on the ear. Memory foam ear cushions conform to the shape of the head, improving passive and active noise cancellation and bass response. A ball joint above the ear cups allows the headset to be rotated and flattened, ideal for compact transport.
A capacitive touchpad on the right earcup allows users to answer calls, skip tracks and adjust volume with a series of intuitive taps and swipes. Lovegrove clarifies: “This helmet is like an extension of yourself. What is the best interface? Your finger. It’s like putting your hand over your ears, there’s this gestural elegance”.
Developed by KEF’s engineering experts, the Mu7 headphones incorporate enhanced codec technology to deliver KEF’s instantly recognizable Hi-Res sound quality, wirelessly. Within each of the closed ear cups is a full-range dynamic driver for flawless audio performance revealing the most subtle acoustic details.
Sophisticated Smart Active Noise Cancellation technology uses multiple filters to capture ambient sound, before applying a specialized algorithm to target individual frequencies.
For hands-free phone calls, Clear Voice Capture (cVc) technology isolates the speaker’s voice and minimizes all other noise picked up by the microphone, ensuring crystal-clear calls in any environment.
Expect up to 40 hours of full use on a single charge, 8 hours of use on a 15 minute quick charge. For those who prefer wired playback, a 3.5mm audio connection is also available.
