Sonicstate: M-Audio have announced the Studiophile Q40 closed-back dynamic headphones. This new product offering represents the company’s entry into the headphone market following on from their range of studio reference monitors like the popular BX and EX series.
M-Audio say that the Studiophile Q40 headphones utilize professional-grade dynamic drivers that deliver full-range specs and stunning sonic detail. The extra-large drivers measure 40 millimeters in diameter, exceeding the size of most other headphones to offer superior low-frequency extension. The combination of vented diaphragms made of low-mass treated mylar, neodymium magnets and copper-clad aluminum voice coils delivers efficient performance for enhanced bass. These elements come together in M-Audio’s custom enclosure, which has been specially tuned to further extend low frequencies.
The headphones feature sealed backings and comfortable ear cups that completely surround the ears, resulting, say M-Audio, in excellent isolation from outside noise. This enables users to hear more detail at lower volumes, which protects their hearing while tracking, mixing or listening in any noisy environment.
