Features


Ergonomic Ear Cups Innovative, ergonomically designed ear cup frame is crafted of Leona, an ultra-lightweight, non-resonant material with titanium like strength. Stainless steel mesh protects the transducers. Both contribute to wearing comfort and acoustic performance.	Damped Headband The metal headband is ‘sandwiched’ between several layers of resonance dampening polymers to eliminate unwanted vibrations from being transmitted to the headphone mountings and ear cups.	Luxurious Ear Cushions High quality, easy to maintain and durable microfiber ear pads provide extreme comfort ensuring hours of listening pleasure.


Ring Radiator Transducer The patented 56 millimeter ring radiator transducers are the largest dynamic driver used in a headphone. It delivers rich, full sound and reduced distortion by effectively controlling the oscillating surface.	Two Cables Included Two impedance matched, low capacitance cables are included, one terminated with a 6.3 millimeter connector, the other with 4-pin XLR balanced to take full advantage of balanced output capability of amplifiers like the HDVD 800.	Made in Germany Manufactured in Germany using handcrafted, artisan assembly complimented by state-of-the-art electronic production and testing equipment.
