Designed for discerning professionals and audiophiles alike, the Avantone Pro Planar the II Headphones utilize planar magnetic drivers with neodymium magnets to deliver stunningly accurate sound for mix engineers, musicians, and hi-fi enthusiasts. This second-generation edition improves upon the original with an upgraded detachable cable and lighter-weight design. These particular over-ear, open-back headphones are styled in a red finish.
The planar drivers offer accuracy, clarity, and a fast transient response with a natural-sounding bass and resounding high end. Where moving-coil driver designs use a magnetic field to push and pull a driver around, planar magnetic headphones utilize a precise matrix of miniature magnets to provide an evenly distributed, symmetric force to both sides of the incredibly thin, ultralight diaphragm. This produces a signal with very little harmonic distortion as well as incredibly fast response times for a pure, unadulterated sound.
Yes, the Planar the II headphones are a bit larger than standard headphones, but they are surprisingly light and are outfitted with soft earpads, bolstering long listening sessions. The 6.6' detachable cable can be plugged into either earcup and has been upgraded to ensure noise-free performance. In addition to the 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter, the headphones include a shoulder bag, which has a pouch for the included cable.
