The headphones use custom 40 mm drivers with titanium-coated PEN diaphragms, neodymium magnets and a patented through-ventilation system. The drivers sit at an angle inside woven steel mesh earcups, surrounded by vibration-absorbing material. The physical design provides a flat, neutral sound with deep sub-bass response starting at 9 Hz. A distinctive feature is a built-in mechanical hi-fi mode switch on the left earcup. Using the supplied metal pin, the user presses the switch to change from studio mode to a dedicated mode for hi-fi equipment.
