Harnessing the power of both dynamic and electrostatic driver components, Avantone’s Planar drivers comprise a specially configured magnet array spaced along both sides of a thin active diaphragm. The precision of the magnetic field enables reproduction of audio signal with almost no harmonic distortion and incredibly rapid response.

By employing this technology, the Avantone Planar headphones deliver pin-point accuracy, rich detail, and a clear, natural sound across the frequency range.

The included 3.5mm headphone cable can be plugged into either of the Planar ear cups with the same stereo image result. This unique design feature aims to aid manoeuvrability when using the headphones in less than ideal spaces.

Fatigue-less Listening
Avantone's Planar driver array design

Because planar drivers apply equal directions forces to both their front and rear magnets, far less pressure is applied to the driver materials yielding a more natural sound. This also enables longer periods of listening without ear-fatigue, making the Planar a rock solid headphone for users such as mixing engineers, musicians, podcasters, live-streamers and even Hi-Fi enthusiasts.

Designed For Portability
