Frequently Asked Questions

The Alpha's soundstage is slightly wider, but the Superlux generally offers more impactful bass. The Alpha feels a bit more refined in build, while the Superlux is more utilitarian.
No, they lack the accuracy and flat frequency response needed for professional audio work. They’re best for casual listening or basic monitoring.
They do leak sound, especially at higher volumes, so they aren't ideal for quiet environments. The 'open' feeling is subtle, but it does provide a more natural soundstage than fully closed headphones.
