Frequently Asked Questions

The difference is night and day; DPA's transient response and clarity are significantly better, resulting in a more natural and less processed sound.
While the adjustment mechanism is excellent, very large heads might find it less comfortable; it's best suited for a wide range of average head sizes.
You'll likely need an adapter for Sennheiser, Shure, or Lectrosonics systems – DPA offers them, but third-party options exist as well.
