Meet Defunc’s Mondo Headphones: Transparency in Design

The Mondo Headphones by Defunc are catching attention with their cool see-through design and strong wireless audio. The clear covers on both earpieces reveal the inner components like circuitry, drivers, microphones, and batteries. This design trend is also seen in Nothing’s phones and TWS earbuds, and Beats’ StudioBuds +.

Priced below $150, the Mondo Headphones offer great features at an affordable cost. They have dual-drivers, dual-microphones, Bluetooth 5.2, and Environmental Noise Cancelling (ENC). The design is a mix of Nothing and Apple, with metal stems and rounded earpieces for comfort. They fold flat, making them good for travel, but they don’t come with a case like the AirPods Max.

The audio quality of the Mondo Headphones is impressive. Each earpiece has a 1.6-inch and a 0.4-inch driver, covering a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz for rich sound. The dual-microphone setup supports effective ENC for clear music, calls, and voice recordings.

They connect easily with Bluetooth 5.2, and the battery lasts up to 45 hours on a full charge with 430 hours of standby time. The USB-C port charges them fully in just two hours. Weighing only 9 ounces, they are lighter than competitors like Microsoft, Sony, Sonos, and Apple.

Although they lack some high-end features like a dedicated voice assistant button, the Mondo Headphones are still a great choice due to their affordability and features. They come with a USB-C charging cable and a coiled 1/8-inch audio cord for added versatility.
