A special edition Meizu 16 Plus Sound Color has
launched – and by the looks of it, has already sold out. And no wonder, the
whole package costs CNY 4,600 (US$ 680/€ 600), but comes with two technologically
impressive and pricey audio accessories. You get the Astrell&Kern
Billie Jean wired headset that’s worth a whopping US$ 350 on its own. It uses tech
invented by Jerry Harvey, a Dual Balanced Armature driver system for a clean,
balanced sound.
