Blue Announces Ella, Sadie and Satellite Headphones @ CES 2017

Those B&W P9 Signatures look pretty sweet too! Wonder how they sound vs. the Ella? Moby seems to prefer them over the Ella, I think?

I have a love/hate relationship with these headphones....:) I don't think you will like them. They are bass heavy and even for me often too bass heavy. With some of the music I listen to they are very good and with some music the complete opposite! If these were my only headphones I would not keep them.

That said, I keep coming back to them and more often than not I really enjoy listen to them, but they sure are special.

P9 :), I really liked the Blue Ella, if I didn't have comfort problems with the Ella I would have kept them. The P9 are comfortable but not that comfortable, the Amiron are way more comfortable. I bought the P9 used and I think I will end up selling them again. Too many headphones to try and too little money :)

Hmm ok. The P7s were a bit bass heavy too, and they say the two sound alike, so I guess it's a no for P9 too.

I am still open to the Ella. Maybe down the line when the price comes down? I had no comfort issues with the Blue Lola, so I doubt I would with the Ella either.

Engadget review of Satellite
https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/02/blue-satellite-wireless-headphones-review/

This is the first I've heard of the revised model with better comfort also having fixed the Bluetooth complaints.

It's really tempting since I'd love the ANC, love the Blue sound and kind of think they'll become comfortable like the MoFi did.

I think if I pulled the trigger on these, it would be the anc performance which decided if I keep them or not. On the one hand, the anc isn't up to Bose/Sony, on the other hand it sounds better.

A friend in the office has the P7 and I have the MoFi. I loved the low weight of the P7 but everyone felt the MoFi sounded better overall. Especially in the bass. I personally felt they sounded really similar overall unlike the Bowers and Wilkins H7 which was even lighter but had a really different signature with recessed mids and boosted bass.

It's not a direct comparison but I imagine the Blue house sound signature carries into the Satellite. It'll be heavier and a bit less comfortable but probably sounds better, fwiw.

No clue on verification of the model but I understand Blue is taking care of buyers after the sale. If you buy one, send in the serial number and see which one you got and if it's the old one, either return it or let Blue swap it out for you.

And if you do go Satellite, please post impressions!
