Taking headphones to the next level – these Chord MS 530 are super comfortable to wear, the Bluetooth works impeccably well and the sound and noise cancellation are terrific.


I’ve been using these headphones, including while cutting the grass, for over two months now, and all I can say is “They Rock!.” I really love the soft padding, on-the-ear styling and the quality of the audio.


They look really chic. They fold to save space in your bag. They also work with wired connections if your music player doesn’t have Bluetooth. They handle conversations over your mobile phone like you were talking in person. What’s not to like?


Some special specs:


With Multipoint connection you can actually connect two devices simultaneously – e.g. listen to music from your tablet and then still take a phone call from your cellphone.


“Titanium driver technology” I don’t totally understand it, but it equates to better sounding audio with great bass tones. That I do understand.


Great battery life – up to 30 hours or talk or music; up to 18 hours with Noise cancellation turned on


Dual microphones for voice calls delivers improved background noise cancellation.
