There's a new headphone brand in town. You've seen it before, but probably on a guitar amp or strewn across your favorite rock legend. Fender is the latest player in the consumer audio game, and its new Mix headphones are no lightweight competitor.

Also: I replaced my Sony headphones with this $70 pair - and they're even better designed

If you're looking for affordable headphones with several connectivity options, solid audio, good noise-canceling, and a marathon battery, the Fender Mix headphones are a worthy option. 

Don't get me wrong; they're a solid first ...
