This headphone is positioned as a high-end model among SONY's wired headphones. While having an orthodox structure, you can notice its high-end feel throughout with features such as the fork part that skillfully incorporates both matte and gloss finishes, and the housing with a texture reminiscent of premium cameras. Contrary to its solid appearance, the body is relatively lightweight. The thick, soft ear pads and well-designed curve of the headband offer a very comfortable fit. The sound quality produced by the large 70mm driver unit is extremely delicate and rich. You will experience a clear and expansive soundstage with a sense of depth. This can surely be called a masterpiece that will be engraved in the history of the company's headphones.
Points to note when attaching the cover:
1. Don't cover too deeply
If covered too deeply, the tension of the cover becomes too strong, making it difficult for ears to fit into the ear cups and causing a sense of pressure when worn. It is recommended to cover the headphones so that the cover reaches just the very edge of the housing (right next to the ear pads). (※Please refer to the attached photo above)
2. Stretch before wearing
After attaching the cover, press the cover towards the inside of the ear pads by hand to stretch the fabric before wearing the headphones. This will reduce the tension of the cover and improve the fit. If you feel a sense of pressure on your ears due to the cover, please give this a try.
3. Remove after use
Since the ear pads of this headphone are large and soft, leaving the cover on for a long time may cause them to deform due to the pressure from the cover. It is recommended to remove the cover from the headphones after use.
