Go wider
Hear deep lows and euphoric highs with a full range of sound up to 100 kHz.
Listen clearly
Play music loud and clear from any home system or portable device with high sensitivity of 102 dB/mW.
Absolute sound purity
Compromise nothing in pursuit of perfection
Discover true sound with all the emotion and energy of the original
recording. A huge 2.76 in HD driver powers through your music, keeping
every note precise, even at higher volume levels.
Authentic sound with aluminum-coated LCP
Combining a Liquid Crystal Polymer diaphragm with aluminum coating gives
a more precise sound across the entire frequency range than a
conventional LCP driver.
Spherical wave sound
Smaller 1.57 in drivers emit sound as spherical waves, which can lead to reflection delays within the earcups.
Plane wave sound
The much larger 2.76 in driver creates a flatter plane wave effect that prevents reflection delays and sound loss.What is High-Resolution Audio?
High Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes
allowing the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates
than those used in CDs.
Record at a higher frequency than CD
High-Resolution Audio typically records at 96 kHz/24 bit or even 192 kHz/24 bit — much higher than CD.
Hear more realistic, emotive sound
While CDs and MP3s top out around 20 kHz, High-Resolution Audio supports frequencies above 80 kHz (as high as 100 kHz on this model)and a wider dynamic range.
Keep sound in
The enfolding design wraps around the ear, sealing music in and keeping
distractions out. Acoustics are reflected back towards your ears for the
subtlest of sounds.
With a balanced cable comprising four silver-coated copper wires, and
independent ground wires for both channels (in blue and yellow), you’ll
hear clear, precise sound.
10 foot dual layer cable
As well as a balanced cable, these headphones include a 10 foot dual layer cable, featuring a copper wire for clear highs, sheathed in silver for rich bass.
