Review of Blue Ella vs. the original Blue MoFi Headphones

I found the auto power down pretty unreliable. I'd play for a few hours on a Friday night on a full charge and then leave them on my desk only for them to be dead on Sat morning. So I've gotten in the habit of always plugging them back in or turning them off when I'm done using them. At the...

Review of Blue Ella vs. the original Blue MoFi Headphones

I really like the MoFi's as well. I've had a bit more time with the Ella's and honestly if you are happy with the MoFi's I wouldn't upgrade. I've been switching back and forth over the last week and I really can't tell any sound difference. The cable for the Ella will work with the MoFi's...

Review of the Blue Ella vs. the original Blue MoFi Headphones TLDR; If price is no object go ahead and buy the Ella. If you have the original MoFi’s and are happy with them there are a few upgraded features that might help make a decision to upgrade. If you are on a budget I cannot recommend...
