Fibonacci-patterned grill
Pitch-perfect ultra-highs

Specially-designed, Fibonacci-patterned grills protect the drivers while minimising sound damping of high-resolution frequencies, so you can revel in every detail of the ultra-high notes.

Truly authentic sound

A supplied Φ4.4mm balanced connection cable retains all the clarity of studio sound so you can savour every detail of High-Resolution Audio.

A balanced cable fully separates left and right channels by including an additional ground connection to reduce cross-talk and increase audio efficiency, for superior sound quality.

Four silver-coated oxygen-free copper (OFC) cables minimise resistance and signal-transmission loss. The result is less sound degradation, finer detail and smoother treble.
