The Best Planar Magnetic Headphones Planar magnetic headphones, also referred to as orthodynamics, generate sound using a thin diaphragm sandwiched in between several magnets. They offer a crisp and controlled audio experience that captures all the trailing edges of instruments and vocals for incredible musical clarity. They usually require a headphone amplifier in order to provide the drivers with the proper power. This is a small cost to pay for a set of headphones that can show new nuances and nuances that you didn't know existed in your music. 1. Dekoni Blue HE400SE The Blue is a redefinition of the T50RP MK3 and aims for more neutral and bright house sounds. It's not as neutral as the Philips FidelioX2HR but it's an excellent choice for those who like natural, warm sounding headphone and don't like too much bass. Vocals sound feminine and smooth (listen to the track Feel Good by Dominique Fils-Aime). It has a great balance between the low and high frequencies that makes it enjoyable for long listening sessions. The planar magnetic structure allows for accurate sound positioning, clarity, and a vast soundstage. This lets music breathe and gives you the experience like you are in a concert. The treble is clear and clear and has a clear, non-fatiguing sound. Its bass is impressive for a budget headphone. It's tight and punchy but doesn't distort even when listening to loud tracks. Its fidelity is also excellent with excellent midrange and detail retrieval. 2. Audeze LCD-2 Almost everyone who's familiar with Audeze headphones knows about their high-end open-back design and strong sound. They're also extremely bulky and heavy, and they do not have a good isolation which means they won't be comfortable for everyone. However, they're an excellent choice if you're looking for a headphone that can produce powerful dynamic the climax and the power. These headphones have a huge planar magnetic driver that has been custom-designed inside the ear cups. They create distortion-free, pristine sound. They are able to penetrate low frequencies that other dynamic drivers aren't capable of reaching. This is one of the most popular headphones that are planar magnetic in the audiophile world. The LCD-2 was the first headphone that put Audeze on the map. It is the most complete audio quality in its class. It is full-bodied and rich bass with transparent transparency and almost no distortion over 10Hz. It also has a natural sounding treble that is balanced for sibilant tone, and it dips appropriately at around 9khz in order to account for concha interaction. The LCD 2 Classics retain the iconic design and sound quality of the original LCD-2 but are cheaper. They're a great pair with tube amps and they have an impedance that is higher than other open-back headphones. Therefore, you'll need a headphone amplifier. They're not the most comfortable, and you could feel your ears becoming hot after wearing for long periods of time. 3. try here takes the classic egg-shaped housing and window shade design with an open back of its predecessor, and makes it modern with a plethora of technological improvements. The Ananda Nano has a brand-new NEO supernano diaphragm which is 75% smaller than the original model's, as well as stealth magnets which offer greater clarity. The midrange is spacious and airy and clear, with plenty of resolution and a natural tone to it that will impress listeners with its accuracy. It's a slightly brighter headphone with an edge in its presentation. It helps it standout and adds a sense of character. However, it's not harsh at all and does not suffer from excess or bloating. HIFIMAN’s low-end has a lean texture but it doesn't compromise any volume or dynamism. The treble sounds crisp and clear without being bright or harsh. In contrast to some headphones that sound sluggish and closed-in, the Ananda Nano's treble has great extension and is able to give a sense of space and clarity even at high volumes. The headphone is easy-to-drive and its drivers' clarity and acoustic quality will allow you to get the most out of your favourite sources. Don't believe the urban myth that these headphones require a lot of power or current. I've used them for two days of work that lasted seven hours and long gaming sessions, and they're still comfortable. 4. Audio Technica ATH-M1070 The cost of planar headphones can put them out of the reach for a majority of music lovers, especially those who have other priorities in their lives. If you are willing to do some investigation, it's possible to find a pair of headphones that won't break your bank. This is the case with the Monolith by Monoprice 1070C, a closed-back model that makes use of planar magnetic technology. It is priced competitively at $299 USD. Monolith by Monoprice's 1070C headphone may not have all the features that you'd expect from a more expensive set, but they're nonetheless of top quality and perform well. The headphones sound great and can be tuned to your preference with a little tweaking from the source of music you use them with. As with most headphones for over-ear use, the Monolith by Monoprice 1070C has a high impedance rating and will need some assistance from your DAC or portable music player to drive their sound properly. Fortunately, the company offers various cord options inside the box with the headphones, including a three-meter cord that is coiled, with a threaded ¼ inch adapter and two straight cables. The 106mm driver in the Monolith by Monoprice 1070C creates a full soundstage that is full of details and offers a sense of depth. The headphones provide the impression of being in the back of an orchestra when listening to tracks such as Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight. The treble is crisp and clear, while the mid-range is warm and smooth without becoming too bassy. 5. Audio Technica ATH-M50X The Audio Technica ATH-50X headphones are closed-back headphones with two ear cups with a large dimension. They are comfortable over the ear. The Audio Technica ATH-50X is a closed-back headphone with two ear cups that are large enough to fit comfortably over your ears. The ear cups are encased with a soft faux-leather that feels comfortable on your ears and head and they are sealed enough to minimize outside noise. The headband is padded and can be worn around your head. However some users felt it uncomfortable due to its stiffness. They have a good soundstage, but certain high-end elements can be lost in the booming bass response. These headphones feature a lively sound profile that's great for electronic music and other genres that are driven by pulse. They have a strong bass boost that makes kick-drums punchy, and a bright treble that accentuates every note in a vocal melody or guitar riff. The ATH M50X is a popular headphones for audiophiles and musicians. However, it's not suitable for all situations. It doesn't have the same flat frequency response, or even articulation as higher-end headphones like the Beyerdynamics 990 Pro, and could be a little too warm in the lower frequencies for some. 6. Audeze LCD-XC The LCD-XC is a closed-back magnetic headphone with a planar design and is the first from Audeze. It is large and heavy, sporting fully wooden ear cups and metal frames around. It is the most heavy headphone on this list and one of the heaviest closed back models anywhere. The Audeze LCD XC has quickly gained a reputation for being the ultimate recording tool for engineers, musicians and audiophiles because of its transparency and neutrality. Its closed-back design gives the benefits of planar magnetic headphones, such as improved isolation and reduced ambient noise for a private and immersive listening experience. Your music of choice will explode from the background, taking on a life all of its own. They are equipped with a unique planar magnetic design, which uses space-age materials, and an ultra-thin, 4X larger diaphragm compared to typical headphones. This allows for more responsive times, lower distortion, and higher resolution. Their unique driver design moves a large, ultra-thin driver between the arrays of magnets to provide incredible air movement, resulting in their signature powerful bass and natural, extended treble. The LCD-XC is a reference headphone made for professional recording, mixing mastering, high-resolution hi-fi listening. The treble is an clear and precise sound, without any artificial coloration or coloring. Vocals are also excellent, with a rich and deep midrange and natural, crisp and clean treble that delivers a true sense of intimacy.
