Over Ear

Type

Over Ear

Headphones with larger ear cups compared to on-ear headphones, which hug the ears.


They are more comfortable and provide better external noise isolation, but are more difficult to transport due to their larger size.

Generally, over-ear headphones can offer higher quality sound and deep bass compared to on-ear headphones of similar quality, thanks to their larger speakers.
Frequency Response
5 - 22000 Hz

Frequency Response

The range of frequencies that headphones can reproduce. The most common range is that of human hearing, 20 - 20000 Hz. A wider frequency range does not necessarily mean better sound quality.

  • (Bass) 20-250 Hz: Stronger bass, for depth. Ideal frequencies for listening to electronic or hip hop music.
  • (Mids) 250-4,000 Hz: The mid frequencies are stronger, suitable for better listening to vocals or orchestral music.
  • (Treble) 4,000-20,000 Hz: High frequencies affect the clarity and sharpness of the sound, for better listening to, for example, cymbals or the plucking of classical guitar strings.
Sensitivity
122 dB

Sensitivity

The greater the sensitivity of the headphones, the louder they will sound at a specific volume of the source. Generally, values above 90db are considered very good. - **Above 100db**: Headphones with high Sensitivity produce more sound with less power. They can reach high volumes with low-power devices (e.g., mobile phone, laptop). - **Below 100db**: Headphones with low Sensitivity require more power to reach the same volume levels, so they may need a special headphone amplifier
Driver Diameter

Driver Diameter

The diameter of the headphones' speakers. Usually, the larger the diameter, the more powerful sound with full bass they can offer.

What do users say? AI-generated summary

Opinions are mixed: many appreciate the sound’s clarity and detail, while some consider the headphones suitable for mixing. They’re also mentioned for recording and listening to music from a phone. However, their intense sound isn’t for everyone during extended use or on radio broadcasts, and several users report that the ear pads wear out easily.

    Very different monitors from what I was used to.

    I got them in a bundle with Focal Shape Twins, and now I really understand what Focal sound means. Quite a lot of low mids, maybe more than my taste, but REALLY very detailed, with a huge range, which surprisingly (or not) in my opinion loses in center imaging compared even to lower fidelity headphones like the ATH m50x.

    On the positive side: My mixes have skyrocketed, AND thanks to these headphones, I notice that the sound translation from these headphones to any other device (yes, we’re talking about club sound, and the well-known "car check" etc.) is MANY classes better than mixes with only headphone check on the m50x.
    Although they seem sensitive, at the same time they don’t give me the impression that they will break soon. They are definitely not relaxing but not completely tiring either, maybe just enough to make you take a break from mixing.

    Their sound is brutally honest (I believe), which leads us to

    The negatives: Due to the relentless truth that I believe these headphones present, maybe to an underwhelming level, many times you get "disappointed" even listening to the best tracks on the planet. For me, it’s borderline negative, as a music producer and music fan, but I believe that this exact honesty in their sound gives the ability for better mixes.

    I won’t add the complete lack of isolation despite their closed-back approach, as I feel these headphones are aimed at mixing and not tracking.

    I would recommend them for:
    Mixing
    Mastering (maybe)

    I would not recommend them for:
    Tracking,
    Audiophiles,
    Casual Music Listening

    The 4/5 rating does them an injustice, given their value, so 8.5/10

    The truth is, even though I have had them for about 4 months now, I'm not entirely sure what to tell you. I use them on the air of a radio station. They have quite a bit of bass, not annoyingly so. Sometimes, you hear sounds that even the person playing the instrument couldn't hear. They require some getting used to. I had AKG 141/171/220/271 before.

    22/02/2024
    In the end, no, I can't get used to them on the air of a station. Obviously, for tracking in a studio they are okay, but not for being on air for 8 hours. They led me to wrong decisions when I wanted to bring a voice to its full potential. I got the AKG K702 and calmed down.
