Passion for sound

Every subtle note, precisely reproduced

Hear sound that stays true to the original recording, no matter how high the volume. A powerful 1.57 in driver, with an aluminum-coated Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragm, handles the heaviest beats with the utmost precision.

In pursuit of perfection

High precision sound technologies come together in these headphones to make sure you hear accurate, authentic performances, whatever style of music you listen to.

Clear highs, resounding lows

Dynamic 1.57 in drivers respond quickly to precisely reproduce vocals and mid-high range notes, while large vents help deliver punchy, rhythmic bass.

Responsive diaphragm for true sound

An aluminum-coated Liquid Crystal Polymer diaphragm offers more authentic sound quality across the entire frequency range than conventional LCP drivers.

Add power to your music

Inside the driver, two high-energy neodymium magnets vibrate to produce sound. These magnets have enhanced impedance to deliver high-quality performance.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-Resolution Audio takes you closer to the original studio recording by converting analog music to digital at a higher rate than CD (24 bit/192 kHz rather than 16 bit/44.1 kHz). While CDs top out at around 20 kHz, High-Resolution Audio supports frequencies over 24 kHz (as high as 100 kHz with this model).


High sensitivity

Play music loud and clear from any home system or portable device, with high 98 dB/mW sensitivity


Digital Sound Enhancement Engine

DSEE upscales compressed digital music (MP3, ACC, ATRAC, and WMA). It restores the highs and lows lost in compression, producing rich sound closer to CD quality.

Highest quality Bluetooth streaming

Developed by Sony, the Bluetooth LDAC codec takes your music streaming to a new level. It supports bitrates up to three times higher than typical Bluetooth streaming, 96 kHz sampling rates, and more efficient coding for CD-quality wireless sound.
