Designed for discerning professionals and audiophiles alike, the Avantone Pro Planar Headphones utilize planar magnetic drivers with neodymium magnets to deliver both a stellar accurate sound and comfort for long listening sessions. These particular over-ear, open-back headphones are styled in a black finish. They are meant for mix engineers, musicians, and hi-fi enthusiasts.
Planar magnetic drivers offer accuracy, clarity, and a fast transient response. They also deliver a natural-sounding bass and resounding high end. Where moving-coil driver designs use a magnetic field to push and pull a driver around, planar magnetic headphones utilize a precise array of miniature magnets to provide an evenly distributed, symmetric force to both sides of the diaphragm. This produces a signal with very little harmonic distortion as well as incredibly fast response times and an incredibly natural sound.
Yes, these headphones are a bit larger than what you'd commonly expect, but they are weighted for comfort, and they are outfitted with soft earpads, bolstering long listening sessions. A removable 3.5mm cable is included, and it could be plugged into either side of the headphone. As well as a 1/4" adapter, the headphones include a shoulder bag, which has a pouch for the included cable.
