Frequently Asked Questions

The Tungstens offer significantly improved detail retrieval and a wider, more spacious soundstage compared to the 100 and 99, but they’re also more analytical – less ‘warm’ than the Classics.
While the included hard case makes transport possible, their weight and open design make them best suited for home or studio use, not casual commuting.
The carbon fiber is quite robust, but it’s still a relatively delicate material; careful handling is recommended to avoid scratches or cracks, especially given the premium price.
