The Best Planar Magnetic Headphones Planar magnetic headphones, also referred to as orthodynamics, generate sound by using a thin diaphragm sandwiched in between several magnets. They offer a clear sound that is controlled and can capture all the trailing edge of instruments and vocals for amazing musical precision. They also typically require a headphone amplifier in order to properly drive the drivers. This is a small price to pay for a set of headphones that will reveal new nuances and nuances that you didn't even know existed in your music. 1. Dekoni Blue HE400SE The Blue is a new version of the T50RP MK3 and is aimed at an energizing, neutral sound for the home. It's not as neutral as the Philips FidelioX2HR but still a good choice for those who don't need too much bass and prefer a warmer headphones that sound natural. Vocals sound feminine and velvety (listen to the track Feel Good by Dominique Fils-Aime). It is balanced between low and high frequencies, making it enjoyable for long listening sessions. The planar magnetic structure encourages accurate sound positioning with transparency and a wide soundstage. This lets the music breathe and gives you the sensation of being in the concert hall. The treble is crisp and detailed, with a clear and non-fatiguing sound. Bass is amazing for a budget-friendly headphone. It's incredibly clear and powerful but doesn't distort even when listening to a lot of music. Its fidelity also is excellent, with good midrange and detail retrieval. 2. Audeze LCD-2 Almost everyone who's familiar with Audeze headphones is aware their top-of-the-line open-back design and strong sound. They're also very bulky and heavy, and they do not have a good isolation which means they won't be comfortable for everyone. However, they're a great choice if you're looking for headphones that will deliver an intense dynamic the climax and the power. These headphones feature a large planar magnetic driver that is specially designed for the earcups. They produce undistorted, crystal clear sound. They can even reach low frequencies that traditional dynamic drivers struggle with. This is one of the most well-known headphones that are planar magnetic within the audiophile community. Audeze's LCD-2 was their first headphone. It has the highest overall audio quality in its class. It has a full-bodied, rich bass with transparent transparency and almost no distortion over 10Hz. It also has a natural sounding treble that is balanced for sibilant tones, and it dips at about 9khz in order to account for concha interactions. The LCD 2 Classics are a great alternative to the original LCD-2. They feature the same design and sound quality, but at a significantly lower cost. These headphones are an ideal pairing with tube amps, and they have an impedance that is higher than other open-back headphones. Therefore, you'll need a headphone amplifier. These headphones are not very air-conditioned and can cause your ears to become warm after wearing them long periods of time. 3. HIFIMAN Ananda Nano The HIFIMAN Ananda Nano features the classic egg-shaped housing and window shade design with an open back of its predecessor and brings it up to date with an impressive array of technical upgrades. The Ananda Nano comes with a new NEO ultranano diaphragm that is 75% less thick than its predecessor's. It also features stealth magnets that offer superior clarity. The midrange is airy and spacious and clear, with plenty of resolution and a natural sound to it. It will impress listeners with its accuracy. It's a slightly brighter headphone that has some edge to its design. It makes it stand out and adds some character. It's not too harsh and doesn't have any constriction. The low-end of the HIFIMAN has a slender texture but it doesn't compromise any power or dynamics. The treble is crisp and clear without being bright or harsh. The Ananda Nano has a treble that is a bit more extended and gives a sense of space, clarity and depth even at high volumes. The headphones are easy to operate and its drivers' clarity and acoustic quality will help you get the most from your favorite sources. Don't believe the myth that these headphones require a lot of power or current. I have 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 Many music lovers, especially those who have other priorities in life, may not be in a position to afford planar headphones. If you are willing to do some research it is possible to find headphones that won't break your bank. Monolith by Monoprice's 1070C is a closed-back model with magnetic planar technology that is priced at $299 USD. Monolith by Monoprice's 1070C headphones might not come with all the features that you'd expect from a higher-priced set, but they are still of high quality and perform well. The headphones sound great and can be adjusted to your preferences with some tweaking of the source of music you use them with. The Monolith by Monoprice headphones are high-impedance and require some help from your DAC/portable player to ensure that the sound is pushed effectively. The company provides a range of cords inside the box that include a three-meter coiled cable and two straight cables. The Monolith by Monoprice headphones 1070C come with a 106mm planar drive which provides a full, detailed soundstage that has a sense of depth. On tracks such as Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight, the headphones provide the sensation of being in the back of an orchestra. The treble is clear and clear while the mid-range sound warm and smooth, without becoming too bassy. 5. Audio Technica ATH-M50X The Audio Technica ATH-M50X are closed-back headphones with an impressively large pair of ear cups that comfortably fit over your ears. They're designed to be a studio headphone for tracking, mixing, and critical listening, which is why they offer a full and rich bass that pleases the most discerning of listeners and provides clarity that's useful for picking out the subtle details in your music. The earcups are covered with a soft faux-leather that feels comfortable on your ears and head, and they seal tightly enough to minimize the sound of outside. The headband is padded and fits around your head. However headphones shop reported feeling uncomfortable because it was stiff. They have a wide soundstage, but certain high-end details may be lost in the powerful bass response. These headphones feature a lively sound profile that's great for electronic music as well as other genres driven by pulse. They have a boost in the bass that makes kick drums lively and strong, and a bright and sharp treble that highlights each note in a guitar or vocal melody. The ATH M50X is a well-loved headphone for audiophiles and musicians. However it's not the best choice for all situations. It doesn't have the same flat frequency response or articulation that higher-end headphones have like the Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro, and can be a bit warm in the lower range for some. 6.
