Each movement translates directly into sound without reliance on acoustic cavities or resonance for frequency enhancement and minimal distortion.

The unrestricted airflow and absence of internal resonance allow for an extremely quick transient response, ensuring the clarity and separation needed to handle complex contemporary mixes.

They also feature a new headband design ad replaceable velour pads, allowing the headphones to virtually disappear when in use, making them perfect for extended sessions that are common for recording, producing, mixing and mastering.
