Frequently Asked Questions

The dynamic driver adds warmth and body, while the RP planar provides exceptional detail and clarity, resulting in a balanced and engaging sound unlike purely planar headphones.
Due to the 32-ohm impedance, you'll need a powerful amplifier capable of delivering clean power to avoid a thin or lifeless sound – something with at least 100mW into 32 ohms is a good starting point.
The maple wood isn’t just for looks; its density and resonance characteristics contribute to the headphones’ overall timbre and imaging, adding a subtle richness and depth.
