The purpleheart wood has a beautiful grain that shifts in the light, and the closed-back design isolates noise better than I expected. Running them off my phone is effortless with the low impedance, and the soundstage feels wide for a closed pair.

The wood grain on these cups is just stunning in person, and that 60mm driver delivers a soundstage I wasn't expecting from a closed-back. Perfect for late-night listening sessions without disturbing anyone.

Honestly, I’m shocked how easy these are to drive from my phone — the low impedance makes a bigger difference than I expected. The closed-back design blocks out my noisy office surprisingly well, and that wool diaphragm gives the mids a really natural texture.
