Nokia has unveiled new headsets – Boom, Knock and Pop – that have been made by Zound Industries, which was behind headphones by legendary guitar amplifier company Marshall. All the new headsets are a part of a new sub brand called Coloud.
The Boom headphones are noise cancelling closed back headphones and have massive ear cans to suspend one’s ears in just the sound. They are available in typical Nokia colours. There is no word if the noise cancellation is active or passive. It’s more likely that it’s passive considering Nokia talks about its smart closed construction rather than talk about any active circuitry.
The Knock is also similarly styled to the Boom headphones. They are also closed back, but don’t come with noise cancellation.The Boom headphones are noise cancelling closed back headphones and have massive ear cans to suspend one’s ears in just the sound.

The Pop is an in-ear alternative for people who want something more portable. The package also contains three different sized buds so that they fit easily for any user.
Nokia is using the Zound Lasso tangle free cable in all the headphones so that one does not need to worry about those irritating wire tangles. All the products will come with cable controls and integrated microphones.
Nokia says that these headphones will be available from September onwards 27 Euros (Rs 2,125), 22 Euros (Rs 1,730) and 18 Euros (Rs 1,417).
