I was recently contacted by Moneual Labs and asked to take a look at some new headphones and earphones that they would be launching soon. Both of these products are manufactured under the name Cresyn, so it appears that Moneual Labs is just a distributor of these products. Cresyn was founded in 1959 as a phonograph needle manufacturer. It was not until 1985 that Cresyn began producing headphones and earphones for manufacturers. In 2002, the company began releasing self-branded products directly to consumers.

The headphones in question today are the CS-HP500 model which feature a folding design for portability. I will be saving the earphones for a separate review in the near future. I initially assumed the CS-HP500s were a new product, but after some research online I found information on them dating back to 2007. Either way, they are new to me (and most likely many of you as well) so let's see what these headphones have to offer.


The headphones arrived in the retail package that you see above. The middle is see-through and shows off the headphones nicely. I received the black headphones but they are also available in silver. Features and specifications can be found on the reverse and have been reproduced below.
