| Audio Profile: | A distinctly warm and subtly dark tone all its own with improved sensitivity over the HE4XX. | The sound is smooth, engaging, and even across the frequency range, with airy, sparkly highs and the Planar bass slam that HIFIMAN is known for. | A brighter, more neutral take on the classic HE500 Series sound, with upgraded efficiency and a better fit than ever before | Smoothed frequency response while retaining a punchy sound profile which make beyerdynamic a recording studio favorite. The latest generation Tesla driver offers a wide frequency range and a weighty, controlled bass. | The Ether CX sound more like a pair of open-back headphones—clean, open, realistic, relaxed—while retaining the low sound leakage and high isolation you’d expect from closed cans. | Driver damping to create midrange balance and reveal treble detail, while having a balanced upper midrange and sub-bass that extends to 10hz. The HD 8XX offers you a personal concert hall on-demand—without waking the neighbors. |
