Frequently Asked Questions

The HD 800 S offers a wider, more airy soundstage, while the TH909s present a more intimate, focused listening experience – a trade-off between breadth and detail.
Yes, Urushi is a delicate finish and requires careful handling; scratches can occur, and it's not as resilient as more common headphone coatings.
Due to the 25-ohm impedance, they'll sound quiet and lack dynamics with most portable devices; a dedicated headphone amplifier is strongly recommended.
