With an Open-Back Design That Provides an Extremely Wide, Dimensional Sound

Achieve enhanced clarity and balance in your masters with Sennheiser's innovative Open-frame Architecture, delivering comprehensive, precise and clearly defined audio across the full spectrum. This significantly aids in identifying and resolving issues related to panning placement and clashing frequencies for a refined final master.

At the core of each earcup is a state-of-the-art neodymium magnet and innovative low-frequency cylinder that work together to deliver full, accurate and clearly defined bass. This helps pinpoint and resolve problematic low-end frequencies for meticulously clear mixes.
