Soul by Ludacris headphones ship in May, pricing detailed

Signeo's Soul by Ludacris series headphones are slated for release this May, the company said Wednesday. There are five headphones in the series, three over-ear and two in-ear headphones with prices ranging from $300 for the high-end SL300 to $69 for the entry-level SL49.

The SL49 in-ear headphones are your average sub-$100 cans. Priced at $69, the SL49 offers high-definition quality audio and has a tangle-resistant cable. Also included are three extra ear tips: small, medium, and large for an ideal fit. For $99 the SL99 offer nearly identical features as the SL49s with the exception of the construction of the ear buds, which are bigger.

For those who prefer over-ear headphones, Signeo and Ludacris offer three different models. The SL100, which retail for $149, are the smallest of the over-ear headphones and come in two different colors, with red/black and blue/black tones. All are compatible with iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, and iPods, and they include standard and iPhone detachable cords with an in-line remote. The detachable cords are compatible with most devices with 1/8 or 1/4 headphone jack. For an additional $50, the SL150 offers the same features as the SL100 but are bulkier with bigger ear cups and come in two-toned black/white and white/black.

Lastly, the SL300 is aimed for those who are serious about getting perfect audio quality. Retailing at $300, the SL300 noise- canceling over-ear headphones include a couple of unique features: users will be able to play back their music both via a wired cand wireless connection. Two AA batteries will provide power for wireless playback and will also illuminate the "S Soul" logo on the headphones. Aside from the noise cancellation, wireless playback, and the illuminated logo, the SL300 share the same features as the SL150 and will come in black/white and gold/black.
