Altec Lansing has unveiled several products to start the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, but it is not over yet. They have just unleashed the KickBack DJ-Style headphones which they say will change your definition of earphone comfort forever. The “KickBack” is for comfort, as they feature a back-pivoting ear cup design. This means they swivel toward the back of the head instead of the face, this will allow you to have one ear uncovered and it won’t be hitting your face. They also deliver a top-notch sonic experience that will rock for DJ’s and audiophiles.
The KickBack DJ-Style headphones utilize 40mm neodymium drivers as the main sound provider. They should be able to deliver the great bass drops along with crisp high notes to any music genre. There are song navigation buttons and telephone controls built-into the headphone cord. Out of the box you will get a carrying case for them, as they can be folded in half for easy storage. The KickBack DJ-Style headphones are landing in the Spring for $59 in your choice of five colors!

New Kickback DJ-Style Headphones from Altec Lansing ‘Kick Back’ for Comfort
Back-Pivoting Ear Cup Design & Topnotch Sonic Experience Rock the House for DJs & Audiophiles Alike
LAS VEGAS (Jan. 6, 2015)—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.
