Overview
A music producer or gamer using a desk setup can plug these open-back over-ear headphones into both small and large jacks. A dynamic driver, a coiled cable and an adjustable headband are listed, along with a carrying bag. The ear cups are velour with plastic and spring steel parts.
The reason to buy is an open sound stage for mixing, with replaceable parts and both jack sizes covered. The limit is that open-back cups leak sound both ways, and the high impedance wants a capable source.
Who it's for
Producers, mixers and gamers working at a desk will use the open design and the coiled cable. Anyone who needs noise blocking, wireless freedom or a lightweight travel set should choose a different style.
Pros and cons
- Both jack sizes covered
- Carrying bag included
- Long warranty term
- No noise control
- Sound leaks out and in
- High impedance needs a capable source
Performance notes
A dynamic driver in an open cup lets air and sound pass through the housing, which widens the sense of space but gives no isolation. The high impedance suits studio gear that can drive it. The listing gives the frequency range but no further tuning information.
