RHA SA950i Headphones Review

Luke Hill January 17, 2013 Featured Tech News, Headphones

Rating: 8.5.

It would be fair to say that professional-grade audio and consumer-grade pricing are two characteristics that are usually considered to be mutually exclusive. In the SA950i pair of headphones, RHA aims to break this barrier by combining technologies more commonly found in studio equipment with a price tag that is appealing to a mid-range audience.

Sporting 40mm Titanium-coated Mylar drivers and Neodymium magnets, RHA hasn't cut any corners when selecting the materials for the SA950i headphones' core components.

Capable of outputting frequencies from 16 – 22,000 Hz and specified for a sensitivity of 113 dB, the RHA SA950i's specifications look promising. Can RHA's lightweight SA950i headphones deliver the performance that audio fanatics insist upon?

Specifications:

  • Frequency Response: 16 – 22,000 Hz
  • Impedance: 32 Ohms
  • Sensitivity (dB/mW): 113 dB
  • Drivers: 40mm Titanium-coated Mylar
  • Cord Length: 1.5m
  • Product Net Weight: 105g

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

    They look a little like the beats phones for mobile. probably better. I agree, they look very appealing indeed.

    Nicely detailed review Luke, good info.

    Thanks for a great review. These look great. Any idea if they will work on a Nokia Lumia 920? RHA themselves are not sure. Thanks

    I asked your question directly and they have replied “the SA950i’s (and the MA450i earphones) are ‘Made for iPhone’ so offer full functionality with recent Apple products. Some call and music control is offered on Android and other smartphone devices, however, this functionality is dependent on all of model, generation, software as well as which applications are installed; as I’m sure you can appreciate, we therefore can’t guarantee full functionality on the Nokia Lumia 920.”

    Thanks for trying, it is the same answer that RHA gave me. If I get the opportunity I will try it out and post the results.
