Rated 4.9 (120 reviews)
An open-back reference headphone built for mixing and critical listening rather than for the street. The open earcup gives the wider, less pressurised stage that open designs are chosen for, at the cost of isolation – which makes this a studio and edit-suite headphone, not a tracking or broadcast one.

Open-back – not for trackingOpen-back headphones leak audibly and offer almost no isolation. They are the right choice for mixing and reference listening, and the wrong choice for tracking in the same room as a microphone or for broadcast on a live floor.
