【Housing carved from high-grade African padauk solid wood】African padauk is a high-grade wood known for its hardness, high specific gravity, excellent dimensional stability, and beautiful grain. Due to these characteristics, it is used in musical instruments such as xylophones and guitars. The housing carved from this solid wood, combined with the delicate expressiveness of the RP diaphragm, delivers a rich and solid mid-low range with depth and luster, and a clear, extended high range for a pleasant listening experience. (The housing uses natural solid wood. Therefore, there will be variations in wood grain, texture, color, and knots in each unit, but this does not affect the sound quality.)
【Two types of ear pads included】Two types of ear pads are included: synthetic leather and velour, which can be swapped according to your preference. The over-ear design prioritizes comfort, allowing for comfortable listening even during extended periods. *Synthetic leather ear pads are pre-installed at the time of shipment.
[Equipped with Fostex's traditional RP diaphragm] This driver features a planar diaphragm using the "RP" (Regular Phase: full-range drive) method, which differs from conventional cone-shaped dynamic drivers. It utilizes a high-heat-resistant polyimide film as the base material with copper foil etching. The neodymium magnet driver unit achieves excellent linearity, a natural connection across the entire frequency range from low to high frequencies, good transient characteristics, and high power handling up to 3,000mW.
[Detachable connector allows for cable selection depending on the environment, and supports balanced connection] The cable uses high-quality OFC conductors. It delivers high resolution and crisp sound across the entire frequency range. Furthermore, by connecting to a balanced output compatible player or headphone amplifier with a separately sold balanced cable, unwanted noise is suppressed, and a clearer sound quality with greater separation can be reproduced. Separately sold balanced cables are available in φ2.5: ET-RP2.5BL, φ4.4: ET-RP4.4BL, and XLR: ET-RPXLR.
[Rubber Headband and Genuine Leather Head Pad] The durable rubber headband and high-quality genuine leather head pad provide a stable and comfortable fit.
