In the Meizu 17 launch conference that was held earlier today (8th May 2020), the Chinese company launched a wide variety of new products. This includes the Meizu HD60 headphones, which are capable of noise cancellation and are priced at 1099 Yuan (roughly 155 US Dollars).

The Meizu HD60 headphones feature a new 40mm oversized beryllium-plated driver. This offers a better audio experience by reducing distortion. the beryllium drivers have a high rigidity that greatly reduces the movement of the diaphragm. In other words, a better material that delivers more true to life listening experience. The headphones are made from light materials and one of its highlighting features is undoubtedly its noice cancellation technology.

Apparently, the noise canceling chip used in the headphones were designed and made by Sony, a pioneering figure in the audio accessory industry. Furthermore, Qualcomm, the known chipmaker, is behind the Bluetooth chip housed in the Meizu HD60 headphones. These charge through a USB Type C port and are capable of fast charging as well. It is priced at 1,099 Yuan and will start sales later today.

Over the past few years, I have used a couple of headphones from Meizu. And I can vouch for their quality. Today, Meizu has officially confirmed that the successor to the Meizu HD50 is coming our way tomorrow, dubbed the Meizu HD60. What’s even more interesting is that the over-ear headphones will come in a chic orange shade.

The new Meizu HD60 headphones will ditch the wires and embrace the new-age Bluetooth connection. From the image teased by the company, the new headphones look refined and feature an oval earcup as compared to the HD50’s round one. This could mean that the HD60 will probably have a better fit, unlike its predecessor. Given that there’s a funky orange shade for the HD60, we might see other interesting color options as well.

Back in 2016, I had the opportunity to review the Meizu HD50, and they were fantastic for the $50 price tag! I was also using the Meizu TW50 (first-gen) true wireless earbuds for nearly a year (TW50 review here) until I lost them during a trip. Both these headphones offered terrific sound quality for their price. So, I’m excited about the HD60 that launches tomorrow. Hopefully, it’ll be under $100 at launch.

Yesterday, we reported that Meizu had trademarked a new name ‘Meizu UR’. The application was filed early in August and was initially expected to be a high-end smartphone series. There were also reports that Meizu UR was actually a special smartphone customization service that was going to be launched by the company. However, Meizu’s VP, Huahai Liang dismissed all rumors earlier today clarifying the real identity of the new lineup.

Turns out, the ‘Meizu UR‘ is just another accessory lineup from the smartphone maker. So, its nothing fancy as we had initially expected. The first product in the lineup is confirmed to meet us on August 28 at the Meizu 16S Pro launch conference. Unfortunately, we still don’t know what kind of accessory will be announced in the UR lineup. It could be a pair of new headphones or even something totally different such a backpack or some other lifestyle accessory.

The star of the event will be none other than the Meizu 16S Pro flagship which is expected to come equipped with Snapdragon 855+ processor. There are even rumors about a 90Hz display similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro but we aren’t sure of that. Anyway, with the launch coming near, expect more details to be revealed pretty soon.

The post Confirmed: Meizu UR is just another accessory lineup, not a customization service appeared first on Gizmochina.

On September 19, Meizu will launch the toned-down version of Meizu 16 called Meizu 16X at the Beijing Performing Arts Center. But according to the official Weibo account of the company, the new device which will shine for its great quality-price ratio will not be alone. Alongside the upcoming upper-midranger, there will also be a new accessory, but unfortunately, the company did not reveal any details of the accessory.

We only know that it will be related to audio, so we can assume that it will most likely be a new pair of headphones or a speaker. Headphones (or earphones) seem to be the most reliable hypothesis as the company already launched its Gravity Speaker alongside the Meizu 16 series. The company is known for making high quality audio products, so expect something good. But for now, our thoughts remain just speculations.

According to the company’s founder and CEO Jack Wong, Meizu 16X will be the best smartphone to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset. And this confirms all the details surfaced in the last period. Meizu 16X will be the same device as Meizu 16 with two differences: the build quality and the chipset. So, we will also see the same powerful camera department as its older sibling with Sony sensors, 12 and 20 MP resolution, OIS and ArcSoft technology.

Meizu‘s upcoming Blue Charm headphone was spotted recently in leaked pictures, with a translucent design. That same headset has been spotted again on the website of world-renowned Austrian luxury crystals designer Swarovski. The flagship looking headset is said to have a price tag of 6,888 Yuan. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the product on our extensive search of Swarovski’s official China website.

That doesn’t in anyway mean the supposed listing isn’t true, as the screenshot looks like Swarovski’s website. The Blue Charm headphone render on the product page points at a headset with crystals on the cone and the chord. Luxury products come with a price and the Blue Charm headset isn’t different as it is listed with a price of 6,888 Yuan. From the look of things, the new Swarovski special edition may be released before the normal version is launched. Another thing to note is that the new Charm Blue logo which is on the product page. This sort of authenticates earlier rumours that Meizu is rebranding its Blue Charm division.

Incidentally, the Meizu Swarovski custom Blue Charm headphones have an identical design with SHURE’s SE846 headphones which is also priced at 6,888 Yuan. However, SHURE’s own headset would likely have a powerful hardware and output capability to hold for the high price tag. There is still no indication as to when Meizu will release the much-anticipated Blue Charm headset.

Meizu’s July 26 event in China is for the Pro 7 flagship but alongside its launch, the company is also expected to release its first high-end headphones called the Meizu Flow. The Flow is expected to be the company’s most powerful headphones till date and naturally, with high-end hardware inside, you can expect the price to be quite high as well.

But how costly will be the Meizu Flow?

According to a leaked poster seen in China, the Meizu Pro 7 + Meizu Flow bundle will set you back as much as 6999 Yuan ($1035). If the poster is accurate, this basically means that the Flow headphones will be nearly as costly as the Pro 7 flagship! At such a price, the headphones need to be really, really good to find buyers.

One positive thing going for the Meizu Flow headphones is the recent comment from a senior hardware columnist and headphone enthusiast from China. Lin seems to have got the chance to try out the Flow headphones and he said that the quality is good. He adds that the headphones comes with a custom iron unit and that the price is not going to be cheap.

A recent leak revealed the design of the Meizu Pro 7 and it has a very striking resemblance to the high-end AKG K3003 headphones. Now, note that the K3003 is a premium headset, officially retailing for as much as $1000, although on sites like Amazon you can get it for a lot cheaper. Even if the design of the Flow headphones resembles the K3003, it remains to be seen whether Meizu can come close to its sound quality. If you remember, Meizu started out as an MP3 Play manufacturer, so it has years of experience in the audio field.

So, let’s see how good these headphones are at launch.

Meizu has unveiled its first ever metal headphones called as the Meizu HD50. Its an over-the-ear headphone targeted at music lovers who want a great music experience without having to spend too much. The headphone is priced at just 399 Yuan which comes to around $62.

First of all, the HD50 comes with a metal body with artificial protein leather ear pads which are soft and comfortable to wear. There are two options for the ear pads, white or black. But it looks like you have only one color for the exterior body, i.e. silver. 

The Meizu HD50 over-the-ear headphones utilize an ultra-fine bio-fiber diaphragm. The distortion less than 0.5%. The company reportedly invited a team of experts (who have worked with famous audio brands like SENNHEISER, AKG, Beats etc) to make sure that the distortion was as less as 0.5%. Further, the headphones come with a patented body chamber design to make sure that the output from the headphones is rich and strong.

The Meizu HD50 headphones will go on sale from November 11 for just 399 Yuan ($62). No information about an international release have been revealed by the company yet.

Like expected, Meizu unveiled a brand new smartphone + headphones kit in partnership with Beyerdynamic. Both the companies had confirmed this via their official Weibo pages, a day ago.

Unlike Xiaomi, Meizu is using an entirely different strategy with its new kit. The company is looking to target the niche audiophile market with its new combo. Beyerdynamic is a well known brand when it comes to audiophile grade headphones and the new DT1350G in partnership with Meizu will definitely attract music lovers.

However, if you are looking to purchase the headphones separately, you are out of luck. The company has decided to bundle the DT1350G Beyerdyamic headphones with its best flagship, the Meizu MX4 Pro. The Meizu device has a powerful audio chip inside which will offer an amazing music experience.

Naturally, the 32GB Meizu MX4 Pro + custom gold version of the Beyerdyamic DT1350G headphone combo won’t come cheap. The combo will cost you 3699 Yuan ($596).

The headphones looks pretty good and is said to be made out of metal. Still it will weigh just about 174 grams. The overall measurements of the headphones are 189.8 x 154.7 x 64.4mm. The earmuffs can be rotated up to 90 degrees radius and fits on your ears quite comfortably. The headphones offers excellent ambient noise cancellation and supports frequencies between 5Hz – 30,000Hz.

Overall, if you have the money, the Meizu MX4 Pro + professional headphone combo looks quite attractive. But, most of Meizu’s fan base consist of affordable smartphone lovers and hence, it will be interesting to see how this combo kit sells when it becomes available on April 20.

So what do you think? Too pricey?

We have been consistently hearing about Meizu entering in a partnership with a well known audio brand for its new range of headphones. Initially, it was said that the company could be working with AKG for its new product. However, earlier today, Meizu revealed that the company is all set to partner up with the German Audio company, Beyerdynamic.

Beyerdynamic released a new image of the Meizu headphones box via their weibo page, where we can clearly see both the company names mentioned on top. Also, this is the same box that was leaked a few days back, however at that time, it didn’t have the beyerdynamic logo.

The box looks quite big, so it is also being said that Meizu will be selling its new headsets along with its smartphones. But, don’t expect it to be cheap. Given that the headphones are going to targeted at audiophiles, it will probably be more than $500. In fact, Meizu also revealed that this limited edition Beyerdynamic + Meizu headphones are going to be the most expensive product from the company till date.

The company is expected to release the headphones on April 15, i.e. tomorrow. We have the Huawei P8 as well as the Xiaomi Electric Vehicle (?) releasing on the same day, so its going to be an exciting two days for all tech fans.

Meanwhile, today, we will see the launch of at least two LeTV smartphones, one expected to be bezelless. So, stay tuned to the website as we update you guys with more information.

Although Meizu may be well known now as the manufacturer of the M1 series of Smartphones, their roots lie in music. Originally, they prided themselves as producers of high-end MP3 players and their roots are clearly evident from the crisp HIFI audio at the heart of their M1 and MX4 pro flagships. Recently, they have teased us with an empty headphone box with their emblem on it, signaling the unveiling of a pair of never before seen DJ style headphones.

After weeks of teasing, the Company’s Vice President, Li Han, confirmed the rumor to be truethrough Weibo. He also mentions their collaboration with a massive global audio brand, AKG acoustics, and when released, will be the company’s first solo headphones without any other flagship devices attached. Right now, we are all baffled by this empty box and have to wait until all is revealed on April 15th, according to the latest reports.

A set of leaked photos showing a black box with Meizu’s logo and the box’s interior with a piece of foam packaging with a cutout in the shape of a pair of headphones could signify that the company plans to release their first pair of headphones during the company’s event on April 8. No other details other than the images have been released so no information on what kind of headphones the company plans to launch if they do launch them at all.

Meizu could be trying to follow in the footsteps of its major competitors like Xiaomi and OPPO by also producing and releasing other products aside from mobile devices as both companies have released headphones or earphones in the past.
