New Kickback DJ-Style Headphones from Altec Lansing 'Kick Back' for Comfort

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether you're a club DJ looking for a new set of cans or an audiophile with a preference for large-format earphones, the new Kickback DJ-style headphones from Altec Lansing will change your definition of earphone comfort forever. The reason: an innovative rotating ear cup design that swivels toward the back of the head instead of forward to the face, enabling users to keep one ear uncovered without having an earpiece continually grazing their cheek. Altec Lansing's legendary engineering adds superior sound reproduction to the mix for a first-class listening experience.

Utilizing 40mm neodymium drivers for balanced frequency response, the Kickback delivers the sonic goods with chest-pounding bass, melodic mids and crisp high notes suited to any music genre. Simply plug the headphones into any smartphone, tablet, PC, MP3 player or other audio source with the ¼" adapter, and start jamming. Song navigation buttons and telephony controls for the in-line microphone are built into the cord for easy access.

The hinge-back ear cup design makes it possible to cue the next song (for professional spinners) or stay in touch with one's surroundings (for everyday music enthusiasts) without taking the earphones on and off, wearing one side off the ear, or making other uncomfortable adjustments for single-ear listening. Extra-comfortable padded headbands and ear cups enhance the comfort quotient.

Altec Lansing's Kickback Headphones come in five colors, fold up neatly for compact storage, and include a carrying pouch for 360-degree protection when not in use. They will be available in-store this spring for an MSRP of $59.

More information is available at Altec Lansing's Booth #12829 at 2015 International CES, running January 6-9 in Las Vegas.
