Their circumaural , closed-back architecture promotes passive isolation to reduce leakage and room noise, while the 50 mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets deliver a wide, controlled response with defined bass , balanced mids, and clear highs . With 32 Ω impedance and 96 dB/1 mW sensitivity , they can be effortlessly driven from interfaces, mixing consoles, or portable devices. They include a self-adjusting headband and velvet ear cushions to maintain comfort over extended sessions. The 2.5 m straight cable terminates in a gold-plated 3.5 mm stereo mini jack and includes a threaded 6.3 mm adapter for a professional connection.
