Audix A140 - Closed Studio Headphones with Phase Coherent Drivers
Discover the perfect balance between professional performance and accessible value with the Audix A140 . Meticulously designed to meet the demands of emerging sound engineers, home studio producers, and audiophiles seeking uncompromising fidelity, these closed-back headphones redefine what you can expect from monitoring in their range.
The heart of the A140s lies in their advanced acoustic engineering. Equipped with 40mm phase-coherent drivers , these headphones deliver sound reproduction that respects the integrity of the original source. Unlike commercial headphones that color the sound by exaggerating bass or treble, the A140s provide a clean response with defined bass, articulate mids, and crystal-clear highs. This neutrality is critical for making sound mixing decisions, ensuring your music translates perfectly to any playback system.
The Audix A140 headphones are designed not only for sound quality but also for a comfortable listening experience during extended sessions. Their closed, over-ear design ensures superior noise isolation, blocking out ambient noise so you can focus on the subtlest details of your track or enjoy your music without distractions. High-quality, padded earcups and an adjustable headband provide lasting comfort, eliminating ear and physical fatigue even after hours of continuous use.
Thanks to their optimized 32-ohm impedance, the A140s are exceptionally versatile. They don't require dedicated high-power headphone amplifiers to shine; they deliver excellent volume and dynamics whether you connect them to a professional audio interface, a mixing console, or directly to your laptop or mobile device. Furthermore, their detachable cable and swiveling earcups add an extra layer of functionality and durability for everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a headphone amplifier to use the Audix A140?

Are they suitable for recording vocals?
Yes, they're excellent for this task. Being closed-back, they prevent the backing track the singer is listening to from escaping the headphones and being picked up by the recording microphone.
