Audio Technica Mid-Size Open Back Dynamic Stereo Headphones

Audio Technica Mid-Size Open Back Dynamic Stereo Headphones Review



Audio Technica Mid-Size Open Back Dynamic Stereo Headphones Feature

  • Specifically designed for digital program materials
  • High-performance drivers and low-mass diaphragms
  • Maximized power handling capability
  • Clean, linear low end response
  • 11.5' cable with 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug
  • 1/8" Stereo Jack attached to cable with 1/4" adapter included
  • 11.5' Cable
  • 20-20,000 Hz Frequency Response
  • Open Back Design
Specifically designed for digital music with wide program dynamics, Audio-Technica's mid-size ATH-M2X headphones are perfect for use with home and project studios and portable digital-audio devices like CD, minidisc, and MP3 players. The headphones use an open-back design that lets its large, 40 mm drivers "breathe" better than closed-back designs, eliminating unwanted low-frequency resonances that often color the sound from closed-ear headphones. While this helps the sound quality, be aware that it also makes them a little noisier for those around you--and permits noise from without to be audible through the headphones.

The high-performance drivers use efficient, low-mass diaphragms that are easily driven by most headphone jacks. An 11.5-foot cable grants extended movement from and around your audio source, and the .125-inch-terminated cable comes with a .25-inch adapter plug for use with home audio components.

What's in the Box
Headphones, adapter plug, and a data sheet. The ATH-M2X Headphones are designed for maximized power handling capability, with a clear, linear low end response.

FiiO L9 L-Shaped Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone

FiiO L9 L-Shaped Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone Review



FiiO L9 L-Shaped Line Out Dock (LOD) Cable For iPod and iPhone Feature

  • Shielded construction provides maximum isolation from interference
  • Pure copper conductors for better audio clarity and a more natural-sounding midrange
  • High quality durable connectors for precise contact and signal integrity
  • Supports standard dock profile on iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Does not support Shuffle.
The FiiO L9 is designed with a 3.5mm stereo jack to Apple's dock connector, enabling output of high quality line-level audio from iPod, iPhone, and iPad that can be sent to portable audio equipment such as headphone amplifiers and power amplifiers. Designed with high-quality materials, the L9 isolates the audio signal from interference to deliver cleaner and more accurate sound from your iPod/iPhone/iPad.

The L9 employs the new HPC-22W cable with ultra-fine PCOCC-A conductors for its exceptional signal transmission property and usability. Rather than twisting whole wires, twenty strands of 80?m PCOCC-A wire are unified into a bundle and three bundles are grouped as a conductor that is geometrically stable. This construction method ensures uniformity of wire structure, eliminates internal gaps, and prevents deformation of wire strands. Furthermore, its total conductive area is equivalent to AWG-22, which is three times larger than regular audio cables. Each conductor in the HPC-22W is jacketed with 0.18mm PFA (Teflon), a material selected for its outstanding electrical and transmission characteristics. The shield/ground consists of 53 strands of 0.12?m PCOCC-A wire, with cotton rope filling the internal space and providing additional tensil strenth. The outer jacket is made of TPE olefinic elastomer, making for a tough, durable yet overall flexible cable.

Feature Highlights
- Shielded construction provides maximum isolation from interference
- Pure copper conductors for better audio clarity and a more natural-sounding midrange
- High quality durable connectors for precise contact and signal integrity
- Supports standard dock profile on iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Does not support Shuffle.
