Avantone Pro Planar II Reference-Grade Open-Back Headphones - Red

The Avantone Pro Planar II’s extraordinary detail, accuracy, and response time are all created by its namesake planar drivers—a radical departure from traditional dynamic designs. Planar drivers operate via a matrix of neodymium magnets that both push and pull from both sides of the diaphragm across its entire surface area, creating a broad wavefront akin to what your ears encounter in the natural world. These symmetrical vibrations are responsible for Planar II’s tight bass, ultra-low distortion, and incredible frequency response. Traditional dynamic drivers only push—they don’t pull. Planar II improves on the classic model with reduced weight, an improved noise-free cable, secure dual input jacks, and a new creme color option. With Planar II, you’ll hear your music more fully than ever before.

HEADPHONES FOR TODAY’S MUSIC CREATOR

Avantone didn’t sacrifice the need for comfort when designing Planar II. They’re even more lightweight than the classic Planar, and cozy ear pads stay comfortable during long-haul mix and listening sessions. Planar II employs a perfectly tuned open-back architecture, designed to eliminate the pressure build-up, acoustic resonance, and frequency curve typical of closed-back headphones, further ensuring that your music is represented as accurately as possible. Planar II's also include a high-grade, removable, 2-meter, noise-free 3.5 mm cable that can be plugged into either side to suit your workflow or handedness. Planar the II also ships in an eco-friendly shoulder bag with room for your accessories — and even a pouch for the cable.
