These are great at outputting high-quality audio.
However, they’re not so good at blocking outside noise, making them a poor fit for travel.

Devices with this design are much better at stopping noise from leaking in.
The company states the cup covers are reinforced with steel that acts as an efficient isolator.
Each one houses a 42mm dynamic transducer with a 38mm diaphragm engulfing the listener in a bubble of sound.
Alongside them are 150-ohm aluminum voice coils ensuring clear vocal clarity and accurate output.
The result is a pair of high-performing headphones able to cover a wide range of audio.

Theyre also lightweight with the whole package clocking in at 670g (about 1.5 pounds).
