According to the Mionix web site, the company was founded in 2007 by Peter Nygren with the goal of designing and developing high-end computer peripherals made for gamers. He claims that the company stands for high quality, cool design and a touch of innovation.

Now in its 7th year, Mionix has made a rather interesting announcement: Full partnership with SK, one of the world's top professional gaming clans.

We had to play around with the lighting to get these babies to shoot OK. The matt finish seems to be the photographic equivalent of a black hole – absorbing light.

When you actually have them on, they also do a pretty good job of absorbing surrounding noise.

  

The ear cushions are a joy to wear. Another area that cannot be faulted certainly looks good enough to survive throughout the 12 month warranty.

Finally, here's a close up on the volume button.

No doubt, this is one well crafted piece of audio hardware, but our overall impression of the Nash 20 is that it belongs to an older person with more distinguished music tastes. Let's see if it should appeal to Headbangers, dubsteppers and first person shooter-ers as well.
