12 best studio headphones

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Like almost any other type of electronics, headphones can be quite clearly divided into two large groups – for leisure and for work, that is, studio headphones. And studio headphones differ from any others in that, by definition, increased requirements are put forward for them, as well as a number of fundamental requirements both to the functionality and to the form factor. The editors, together with analysts of the rankquality.com service, have prepared for you an overview of the most notable models of studio headphones at the beginning of 2020 with comments and descriptions from specialized specialists.

How to choose studio headphones

To begin with, let's briefly understand the criteria of what kind of headphones can be considered studio headphones, what tasks they can (or cannot, depending on the type and model) perform, what possible internal classifications exist, and what should be guided by when choosing headphones for ourselves.

What are studio headphones

So, studio headphones are the very professional ones, or, as they are also called, monitor headphones, which are designed specifically for work – mixing, mastering, monitoring and other studio tasks.

Here you need to clearly understand that studio headphones are no better and no worse than ordinary ones, even the most expensive ones. It's just a completely different type of device. The fact is that in studio headphones the sound is not embellished in any way – there are no so beloved by many 'juicy' bass, perky high frequencies, there is no wide stage. In them, sound imperfections are not smoothed out or embellished in any way. Their task is to convey an honest sound without embellishment, evenly, in detail and naturally. That is, using them for leisure is frankly boring. This is a working tool, not a gadget for entertainment.

What types of studio headphones are there?

There are quite a few conventional classifications of studio headphones, but the very first thing to consider when choosing is the 'degree of openness'. This conventional term refers to three large groups of devices – open, semi-open and closed studio headphones. In terms of size, almost all studio headphones are full-size.

1. Closed – the most popular type of studio headphones, although in principle they have a specific purpose – directly for sound recording. They completely cover the ears, fit snugly to the head, but this is not the main thing. The main thing is that they do not have external holes, and the sound is reproduced in an isolated, closed space – hence the name. Their task is to cut off the maximum of extraneous external sounds and prevent the sound of the recorded track from breaking through, thereby losing some of the important information about the nature of the sound.
2. Open-back headphones suggest that some sound is emitted out through the slots between the ear and the ear cushion, as well as through the straight openings on the case. This solution is already optimal for listening to music while mixing tracks. Open headphones typically have a wide frequency response and a flat frequency response. Their common drawback is obvious – the sound is heard not only by the operator, but also partly by people who are nearby. This is uncomfortable in itself, but sometimes it can create quite fundamental obstacles, for example, for musicians playing especially loud instruments.
3. Semi-open headphones are a kind of compromise between the first and the second. The developers of such models try to combine the advantages of open and closed types, and at the same time level their disadvantages. It turns out with varying success, so half-open headphones have a narrower target audience – DJs, semi-professional sound engineers, cameramen, radio hosts.

We emphasize right away that from a purely technical point of view, the term 'half-open' is not entirely correct, since all open headphones are to some extent 'half-open', but since this terminology has firmly taken root, we will also use it.

Best open studio headphones

Let's go directly to the review, and first of all we will consider a selection of open-type studio headphones, which experts considered the best in terms of key parameters. Also, the task was set to cover different price categories whenever possible.

Sennheiser HD 559

Rating: 4.9

First of all, consider the most budgetary option in the selection of the best open studio headphones by version. In terms of their characteristics, they balance on the verge between the studio format and the amateur one, but their cost is still infinitely far from the mass of similar in appearance, but simple headphones for leisure. The manufacturer is the famous German company Sennheiser, a kind of benchmark in the field of audio equipment.

The HD 559 is part of Sennheiser's large line of headphone models, with both more expensive and cheaper ones. We will consider a compromise option. This model is of a dynamic type, made entirely in black from quality materials. Especially to the liking of the target audience in terms of comfort – delicate velor ear cushions and the inner part of the headband. The tactile comfort of this model is really high, and the well-thought-out design allows you to work in them for long hours and overtime without any signs of ear and head fatigue.

The key specifications and capabilities of this model are as follows. Reproduction of sound vibrations in a wide range from 14 to 26000 Hz; impedance – 50 Ohm; sensitivity – 108dB / V; surprisingly low harmonic distortion – only 0.1%.

Headphones are connected to the devices via a long 3-meter detachable cable with a straight-shaped 6.3mm jack connector. One-way connection to headphones.

The complete set of this model is extremely modest. Not only are there no additional interesting 'buns', but even a case or cover for easy transportation. Pleases at least 2 years from the manufacturer.

Advantages

• detailed balanced sound;
• sufficiently accurate transmission of frequencies of all levels;
• low harmonic distortion;
• quality materials and assembly;
• detachable cable 3 meters long;
• comfortable fit and no fatigue with prolonged wear;
• 2 years warranty.

disadvantages

• poor sound insulation;
• poor equipment.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro

Rating: 4.8

The second number is the professional model DT 990 Pro from Beyerdynamic. Just in case, we emphasize that when buying, you must definitely pay attention to the presence of the Pro prefix in the nomenclature. The fact is that Beyerdynamic also produces a 'consumer' version of the DT 990 model, and it differs dramatically from the studio one. The price will additionally indicate the professional class – these headphones are twice as expensive as the previous ones.

Let's briefly go over the key technical characteristics of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro. These are open headphones with an electrodynamic type transducer. The range of reproducible frequencies according to the passport is from 5 to 35 thousand Hz. The impressive impedance of 250 Ohm may be confusing, but in this case it is intended, and we will explain why. Harmonic distortion is less than 0.2%. Nominal SPL – 96dB. The permissible power is 100mW.

The headphones are full-sized, fit snugly – the headband creates a pressure of 3.5 Newtons (0.36 kg). Here, by the way, lies another difference from the household version. In the DT 990 Pro, the metal of the headband is thicker precisely to provide a tighter fit. The soft and gentle Circumaural ear cushions smooth out pressure, allowing the operator to stay on the headphones for hours without noticeable discomfort.

Headphones are connected via a 3-meter cable, twisted into a spiral, brought out of the left bowl. In a 'relaxed' twisted form, the cable is approximately 1.5 meters long. Connector – gold-plated minijack. The delivery set includes an adapter for 1/4 “connector. The cable is not removable.

A few promised words about why and why such a high impedance. The manufacturer himself explains this by the fact that this approach allows the use of thinner wire in the coils, thereby lightening the mass of the moving system, which directly affects the natural sounding. This clarifies something, but one must be aware of the inevitable limitations. Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro can work effectively only and exclusively in the studio with a special and rather powerful headphone amplifier with its own power supply.

Advantages

• natural sounding;
• low harmonic distortion;
• quality materials and assembly;
• comfortable fit.

disadvantages

• non-removable cable;
• require a powerful stationary headphone amplifier.

Ultrasone PRO 2900i

Rating: 4.7

Now let's consider another professional model, which is sometimes more interesting than the previous one at a comparable price. The manufacturer is a specialized German company Ultrasone, known for its high-quality professional headphones for DJs and studio use, as well as a number of household models.

This model perfectly shows itself in professional monitoring, perfectly coping with material of various types – jazz, blues, light electronic music and even symphonic classics. Separately, experts note a certain 'superpower' Ultrasone PRO 2900i to broadcast R.N.B.

The technical level of performance of the headphones is impeccable. Titanium-coated Mylar speakers, neodymium magnets, ULE technology (a protective plate made of the so-called mu-metal) – the technology is really at its best. Operator comfort is ensured by soft ear pads with velor tips. In addition, the headphones still have a foldable design, and when folded takes up a minimum of space. Weigh 295g. The package includes a convenient hard case for safe transportation.

Let's take a closer look at the technical characteristics of the Ultrasone PRO 2900i. These are dynamic type headphones with 40mm drivers. Impedance – 40 Ohm. Passport frequency range – from 6 to 42 thousand Hz. The size of the speakers is 40mm each. Sound pressure – up to 96dB. Detachable cable, there are two types in the kit – ultra-soft 150 cm long with a 3.5 mm connector; 3m twisted cable with 6.3mm connector (NEUTRIK).

And in conclusion, a little more detail about the mentioned proprietary ULE technology – Ultra Low Emission. Its essence is that the protective plate reduces the power of electromagnetic radiation by an average of 98% compared to other professional headphones of this class.

Advantages

• accurate transmission of audio information;
• impeccable quality of materials and workmanship;
• Ultra Low Emission technology;
• detachable cable;
• equipment.

disadvantages

• some experts claim that the use of S-Logic® Plus in this model masks the poor quality of the emitters.

AKG K 712 Pro

Rating: 4.7

Rounding out the selection of the best open-back studio headphones is the most notable model in this group. At the time of release, its MSRP was almost $ 500. Fortunately, now you can buy it much cheaper. The manufacturer is a specialized Austrian company AKG Acoustics GmbH, known for high-quality professional sound recording equipment and other audio equipment.

AKG K 712 Pro is noticeably different from previous models in its design. It is quite original, and in general, even its appearance clearly hints at the professional class. It is upsetting that the design does not provide for at least some kind of folding into a more compact volume, although the headphones themselves are very overall. The standard case for transportation is soft, which means it will not save you from shock loads. Fortunately, this is almost the only drawback of this model. However, the headphones weigh unexpectedly little – only 235g, and many users mark this as a noticeable advantage given their dimensions.

Let's look at the technical side of the AKG K 712 Pro. These are dynamic type headphones with a declared frequency range from 10 to 39800Hz. The impedance is 62 ohms. Sensitivity – 105dB. The maximum power is 200mW. Oxygen-free copper wires are used. Connected via a detachable cable on one side. The set includes two types of cable – twisted black and straight orange. Cable plug – jack 6.3mm, the set includes a 3.5mm adapter.

Most often, professionals use the AKG K 712 Pro for mixing, mastering and analytical listening. Double-layer Varimotion diaphragms ensure the most accurate reproduction of the natural sound of the material. But all this requires a preamplifier, and here, like nowhere else, you can observe the effect of 'warming up' – the headphones need to work for some time to fully reveal their potential. Experts did not write this down as a disadvantage of the model, since 'warming up' is a fairly common phenomenon.

Advantages

• natural sounding without accents;
• impeccable quality of materials and workmanship;
• surprisingly light;
• two types of cable included;
• comfort;
• original design.

disadvantages

• require a preamplifier;
• very large and awkward, the soft case does not protect during transportation.

Best semi-open studio headphones

The second selection in the review of the best studio headphones according to the version is the so-called semi-open headphones. As we have already indicated above, this term is extremely conditional and, from a technical point of view, even incorrect. But in view of the fact that such headphones still have a number of differences from open and closed in an attempt by manufacturers to take the advantages of both, we will also accept this accustomed terminology.

AKG K240 Studio

Rating: 4.9

If in the previous collection the AKG brand headphones were the most expensive, then the model that fell into this review category, on the contrary, is the cheapest of all. There are parallels in design with the K 712 Pro, but otherwise these models differ, and quite significantly.

AKG K240 Studio is very similar in format and dimensions to the previous model, while the headphones also weigh very little – 240g. The materials are dominated by high-quality plastic and eco-leather. The headphones are full-sized, oversized and do not have a folding design, which is not very good, but in this case users do not complain about this circumstance.

Let's highlight the main technical characteristics. Dynamic type headphones reproduce sound vibrations in the range from 15 to 25000 Hz. The impedance is 55Ω. Sensitivity – 101dB. The maximum power is 200mW. Harmonic coefficient – 0.3%. Sound pressure – up to 104dB.

Connected to one side via a detachable cable with a gold-plated 3.5mm standard plug. The kit includes an adapter for the 6.3mm connector format. The cable wire is made of oxygen-free copper.

AKG K240 Studio is, in fact, an improved version of the discontinued AKG K240 Monitor, also professional. The Studio version received new XXL membranes, with which the headphones sounded even more natural, accurately conveying all the nuances of the material. The only point is that an amplifier is still needed to fully unleash the potential, and preferably not the most modest one. Otherwise, with a high probability, the headphones will 'cut' the highest frequencies.

Advantages

• accurate transmission of the sound of the material;
• quality materials and assembly;
• light weight;
• detachable cable;
• quality membranes XXL.

disadvantages

• a good amplifier is needed, otherwise there will be no accurate transmission of high frequencies.

Fostex T50RP MK3

Rating: 4.8

The second number will analyze and analyze the product of the Fostex trademark, model T50RP MK3. The manufacturer is the Japanese company Fostex, a subsidiary of Foster Denki KK – one of the oldest and most reputable in the professional audio equipment market.

The reviewed model is isodynamic headphones, which are currently the most demanded in the line of similar products from Fostex. They are made in a rather austere style with a characteristic and well-recognizable steel bowl fixing. The materials and assembly are of sufficient quality, in general, the appearance is minimalistic, without any frills.

Briefly about the main technical characteristics. Headphones of a planar type with a reproducible frequency range from 15 to 35 thousand Hz. The impedance is 50 ohms. Sensitivity – 92dB / mW. The input power is capable of surprising – 3000mW. Connected with a detachable cable. Two types of cables are included in the package – a 3-meter cable with a 6.3mm connector and a 1.2-meter cable with a 3.5mm plug.

In the isodynamic headphone category, this is one of the cheapest models. And the developers were quite able to embody in it the most obvious advantages of isodynamic emitters, even if through a very utilitarian approach (poor equipment, no frills, everything is minimal). Namely – unusually light and fast feed, excellent study of macrodynamics. Of course, all this beauty requires a powerful amplifier, since for most turntables these headphones will prove to be overwhelming.

In terms of sound transmission, the Fostex T50RP MK3 reveal themselves best in the middle range. The lows and highs are no longer so perfect, but, again, we must remember that here we are dealing with a very affordable price for full-fledged studio headphones with isodynamic emitters.

Advantages

• exceptional power;
• accurate transmission of the sound of the material;
• all the advantages of isodynamic emitters;
• detachable cables included (2 pcs. with different plugs).

disadvantages

• you need a powerful amplifier.

Beyerdynamic T1

Rating: 4.7

Rounding out the top three of the best semi-open studio headphones according to the insanely expensive Beyerdynamic model. In the nomenclature, the designation T1 means that in this model the magnetic induction of the emitters reaches 1Tesla. And here we will consider the second generation of the Beyerdynamic T1, which is indicated on the trading floors – Beyerdynamic T1 the 2nd generation.

Let's say right away that the Beyerdynamic T1 is not without its drawbacks, but it is a real high-end solution, without any conventions. Users are justifiably complaining about the inflated cost and the fact that in order to unlock the potential for headphones, it is necessary to purchase a powerful and also very expensive amplifier. Otherwise, it is clear where the reviews come from, they say the headphones show dips at high frequencies. Once again, the amplifier must be powerful and of high quality, which means it must be expensive. Otherwise, there will be 'failures'.

Now to the point and key technical characteristics. The second generation Beyerdynamic T1 features an exceptionally wide frequency range from 5,000 to 50,000 Hz. The impressive 600 ohm impedance already hints that the headphones will need a decent amp. Sensitivity – 102dB / mW. Maximum power – 300mW. Extremely low level of harmonic distortion – 0.05%.

Externally, the headphones literally sparkle with impeccable materials, laconic but stylish design and impressive dimensions. At the same time, they weigh quite a bit – 350g. The headband creates a contact pressure of about 2.8N. The pressure is compensated for by the material of the ear cushions, which is perfectly calibrated for rigidity.

Headphones are connected via a standard detachable cable – from the side of the headphones it is split into two-way connection. We must pay tribute, the manufacturer did not stint even here. In addition to oxygen-free copper in the wire, the cable also has a rigid textile braid. 3.5mm plug, it is possible to connect a 6.3mm adapter.

The sound character of the second generation Beyerdynamic T1 is also influenced by the arrangement of the membranes inside the bowls. It is very unusual – the membranes are fixed at angles, and this is how a frontal stereo panorama is created for the user. In addition to Beyerdynamic, other manufacturers are beginning to implement this approach.

Advantages

• real High-End solution;
• high sound detail;
• depth of study of the material;
• power;
• detachable cable with textile sheath;
• very comfortable fit;
• large hard box included.

disadvantages

• you need a powerful and expensive amplifier;
• high price.

Best Closed-Back Studio Headphones

The third and final selection in the review of the best studio headphones according to the magazine is the most voluminous, as it includes headphones of the most popular type – closed ones. Here, too, there is a place for both simple and inexpensive solutions, and more sophisticated ones.

Sony MDR-7506

Rating: 4.9

Let's start with the most budget-friendly option in this category, although the Sony brand is not too associated with cheapness. But here you need to understand that we are talking about professional equipment, and Sony is still a company with a broad profile, not a narrow specialization, like Sennheiser.

The Sony MDR-7506 is a classic studio monitor headphone. The fact that the model came out quite a long time ago is one of the factors of its current affordable price. And the fact that it is still being released is an obvious consequence and proof of its relevance and popularity.

Outwardly, the model looks laconic and simple, no frills. The materials are dominated by good plastic, high-quality leatherette – headband and soft vinyl – ear pads. It is a little frustrating that the 'forks' that hold the bowls are also plastic, but there are no systematic breakdowns in the total mass of real reviews. The design of the headphones is semi-folding; the delivery set includes a carrying case.

The specifications for this model are as follows. The frequency spectrum of reproduced sound vibrations is from 10 to 20 thousand Hz. Impedance – 63 Ohm. Sensitivity – 106dB. Maximum power – 1000mW. Diaphragms with a diameter of 40mm. They are connected via a twisted cable 3 meters long (stretched) that comes out of the left bowl. Connector – mini jack 3.5mm straight. The kit includes an adapter for a 6.3mm connector.

Advantages

• decent sound with accurate reproduction of details;
• quality materials;
• special wearing comfort;
• folding design;
• good sound insulation;
• durability;
• affordable price.

disadvantages

• individual comments from users, mostly insignificant.

Shure SRH840

Rating: 4.8

The second issue is a slightly more expensive and slightly more interesting closed model produced by the American corporation Shure Incorporated, which specializes in the production of professional audio equipment.

The Shure SRH840 is a dynamic-type studio reference headphone. Their main purpose, according to the positioning by the manufacturer itself, is critical listening and professional sound recording. If more in-depth studio monitoring and mastering is expected, you can look for a more advanced version in the same line – Shure SRH940, but it will cost more.

The materials of the headphones are dominated by high-quality plastic and soft polymers in the headband and ear pads. The inner surface of the headband is textile. The design is not too flashy – everything is pretty strict and to the point. Headphone weight without cable – 372g. A detachable 3-meter cable is attached to one side. Twisted cable. The connector is a standard 3.5mm minijack, which has a thread, and a 6.3mm adapter can be screwed to it. Gold plated metal plugs. Oxygen-free copper cable wires. This model uses 40mm diaphragms and neodymium magnets (alloy with iron).

Let's go through the key technical characteristics of the model. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 5 to 25 thousand Hz. A low impedance of 44 Ohm allows you to use headphones without an amplifier, but additional amplification is still desirable – this will increase the realism and accuracy of the material's sound transmission. Sensitivity – 102dB / mW. The maximum input power is 1000mW.

The package includes: headphones; cable (elastic, but strong and reliable); soft case in which headphones, cable are placed, and there is still space; documentation.

The cover material of the headband on the sides and ear cushions is eco-leather, which is quickly wiped off. And if you can still survive with a headband, then damage to the ear pads can significantly affect the perception of sound by the operator, so an additional pair of ear pads is a big plus.

In the reviews of real users, you can find complaints about the fragility of the design. In fact, the materials are not brittle at all, but the headphones tend to fold spontaneously. Therefore, with a sufficiently careless operation, something can really break.

This model has a 2-year manufacturing warranty.

Advantages

• accurate sound transmission, especially with an amplifier;
• folding design;
• case included;
• an additional pair of ear pads;
• 2 years manufacturer's warranty.

disadvantages

• relatively flimsy headband size adjuster;
• complaints about the fragility of the structure.

AKG K 271 MK II

Rating: 4.8

Again, the Austrian company AKG Acoustics GmbH appears in the review of the best studio headphones. This time with closed-type headphones AKG K 271 MK II. This model is even more expensive than the previous one, and has noticeable advantages. This is one of the most successful AKG headphones in this segment, which immediately after its release was adopted by many studios around the world, including very famous ones.

The design of the model is very recognizable for everyone who has ever dealt with other headphones from AKG. The spring-loaded double headband is complemented by a comfortable headband. The characteristic large bowls accommodate Varimotion branded membranes of variable thickness but moderate volume. The detachable cable connects to one side. On the input side – a standard jack with a threaded adapter 3.5 / 6.3mm gold-plated, on the output side – a mini XLR plug. Headphone weight without cable – 240g.

The key technical characteristics of this model are as follows. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 16 to 28000 Hz. Impedance – 55 Ohm. Sensitivity – 91dB / mW. The maximum power is 200mW. Harmonic distortion – no more than 0.3%.

Experts highly appreciate this model for its accurate and even tonal balance, high sound detail, almost complete absence of the shell tint characteristic of closed headphones. Special tests with transistor 'end' confirm the high class of the product. A quality amplifier will add emotion and articulation to the sound.

Advantages

• clear and accurate sound;
• even and accurate tonal balance;
• branded membranes Varimotion;
• detachable cable;
• well thought out design;
• ergonomics – a wide range of adjustments;
• attractive design.

disadvantages

• a significant part of users note discomfort and quick fatigue.

Sennheiser HD 280 Pro

Rating: 4.7

And again in our review the famous German company Sennheiser, and now we will take a look at some of the best-selling headphones of this brand. The HD 280 Pro model has long been a living classic, is produced to this day and practically does not lose its positions in consumer demand. Let's figure out why she is so good.

The HD 280 Pro are originally designed for long term use. Strong and durable materials allow you to actively use the headphones for years. Many professionals, even when the HD 280 Pro is completely worn out, buy exactly the same new ones, taking the position of “the best is the enemy of the good.” Made entirely in black and a rather modest business design. One-way cable connection. twisted cable, 1m long, stretched up to 3 meters. Headphones weigh 220g. Foldable design.

This model has a sensitivity of 102dB. The low impedance of 64 Ohm allows you to use headphones without an amplifier, although it does not really interfere, and is even recommended for optimal results. The range of reproducible frequencies is from 8 to 25000 Hz. The maximum power is 500mW. A characteristic detail – though not a record, but vanishingly low harmonic distortion – only 0.1%.

The high-quality sound insulation deserves special praise – the headphones isolate them from the outside world more than reliably. A possible side effect is discomfort from the pressure of the cups and headband, but this circumstance is entirely individual.

Sophisticated professionals note the drawback – with a sharp change in sound, the lows 'creep' to the middle frequencies. But this effect is observed in many full-size headphones due to the inertia of the 40 mm membranes.

Headphones are not produced in China, like many even good studio models, but in the USA or Ireland, which is also a big plus.

Advantages

• smooth and honest sound;
• high detail;
• high-quality isolation from external sounds;
• low harmonic distortion;
• folding design;
• exceptional durability.

disadvantages

• parts of the users do not fit because of the discomfort when wearing.

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro

Rating: 4.6

And the review of the best studio headphones of the beginning of 2020 according to the version is completed by another noteworthy model from the Beyerdynamic brand. These are professional closed-type monitor headphones of the popular DT 770 Pro model. Headphones are so popular and in demand that Beyerdynamic in some places cannot cope with the crazy demand, therefore, with the presence of the DT 770 Pro in stores, there may be interruptions. Made in Germany itself.

Outwardly, these headphones are difficult to confuse with another trademark, since the characteristic style, impressiveness and overall massiveness are guessed here without any clues. Round bowls, due to the headband, create a pressure of about 3.5N. Cable with one-way connection, twisted, up to 3 meters long when stretched. Connector – mini jack 3.5mm straight. The kit includes a 6.3mm adapter. Gold-plated plug and adapter. Headphones weigh 270g.

Within this series, there are several modifications that differ in impedance – 32, 80 and 250 Ohm. The rest of the key characteristics are as follows. The reproduction frequency range is from 5 to 35000Hz. The maximum power is 100mW. Sensitivity – 96dB. Harmonic distortion rate – 0.2%.

Protection against external noise – 18dB. It should be added here that the DT770 PRO was originally designed as a kind of compromise between sound insulation and sound quality in favor of quality after all. If you need complete acoustic sound insulation, then the DT 770 M modification can provide it.

In general, the conclusions of the experts who conducted comprehensive tests of the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro are the most positive. For the most complete disclosure of the potential of this model, an amplifier is desirable due to not the highest sensitivity.

Advantages

• exceptionally high sound quality;
• high detail;
• comfortable wearing comfort thanks to durable construction with soft ear pads and adjustment options;
• easily replaceable structural elements;
• produced directly in Germany.

disadvantages

• relatively low sensitivity, require an amplifier.
