Frequently Asked Questions

They offer a more neutral and detailed sound than many competitors, lacking the emphasized bass often found in consumer-grade open-backs, but requiring a more refined amplifier to truly excel.
While the wood contributes to the aesthetic appeal, it also subtly dampens resonances, potentially contributing to a slightly more controlled and refined sound.
The weight is a factor, but the well-designed ear pads and headband distribution help mitigate it; however, those sensitive to heavier headphones should try them on before committing.
