Direct descendant of AudioQuest's award-winning NightHawk semi-open around-the-ear headphone. Technologically refined, sustainably engineered, loudspeaker-inspired design for naturally detailed, non-fatiguing sound: 50mm drivers with biocellulose diaphragms, rubber surrounds, voice-coil formers for low distortion, high excursion, true pistonic motion. Patented split-gap motor dramatically reduces intermodulation distortion. Earcups made from all-natural Liquid Wood with acoustically optimized support beams, internal damping. Biomimetic 3D-printed sound-diffusing grilles reduce distortion, exhibit outstanding manufacturing precision. Patent-pending suspension system allows earcups to move freely, accommodates heads of almost any shape/size, decouples earcups to counteract resonances. Unsurpassed comfort: Thoughtful ergonomic elements allow music lovers, gamers, movie enthusiasts to listen longer with no pain, pressure, or listening fatigue. Tight-fitting internal parts reduce air leaks, improve airflow, reduce distortion. Two sets of earpads: Protein Leather for better isolation, enhanced treble clarity; Microsuede for greater comfort, slightly reduced bass impact. Refined ergonomics: Improved headpad: Genuine leather with stitched detailing for enhanced comfort, luxurious look and feel. Improved cable: Perfect for use at desktops or with mobile devices; flexible, non-braided jacket prevents kinking, minimizes microphonics; robustly engineered, rigorously tested strain relief; discrete microphone/smartphone controls for convenience without compromising sound quality; balanced options available. Plugs use high-purity Tellerium Copper base metal for better mating contact, less noise.
