Full-size headphones with dual connectors

These over-ear headphones use 40mm neodymium drivers and a circumaural design to deliver a 10-22kHz frequency response. The 70 ohm impedance and 105 dB/mW sensitivity allow direct connection to portable players or home equipment. A gold-plated 3.5mm plug and included 6.3mm adaptor cover both common jack sizes. The 3.5 metre cable provides generous reach for desktop or component use.

Listeners wanting comfort for long sessions

The Ear Direct Structure angles drivers toward the ear for efficient sound transfer, while the Twist Action Structure lets earcups rotate to match head shape. Cushioned headband and earpads distribute weight evenly at 194 grams without the cord. Buyers who need active noise cancellation or wireless freedom should look elsewhere, as this model is purely passive and wired.

70 ohm nominal impedance

At 70 ohms the headphones draw enough voltage to reach full volume from most phone or laptop outputs, yet remain easy to drive compared with high-impedance studio models. The 1200mW maximum input capability handles peaks from powerful amplifiers without distortion. Check your source device's output impedance to ensure a good damping factor for bass control.

Questions about this item

How much power can the 40mm drivers handle continuously without damage?

The maximum input capability is rated at 1200mW (IEC), which sets the thermal limit for sustained high-volume listening.

Will the earcups or headband become uncomfortable or hot during all-day sessions?

The Twist Action Structure and cushioned headband are designed to reduce pressure buildup, while the circumaural pads distribute weight around the ears for cooler long-term wear.

Does the 3.5m cable terminate in a 3.5mm plug, and is a 6.3mm adapter included for my audio interface?

The cable ends in a gold-plated 3.5mm plug, and a 6.3mm plug adaptor is supplied in the box for direct connection to professional gear.
