You’ll completely forget you are wearing these headphones, and the reproduction of the audio signal is of unrivalled purity.   REMARKABLE DESIGN AND COMFORT Particular attention has been paid to the design of Utopia, in terms of use, comfort and overall aesthetics. These audiophile headphones feature elegant, high-quality materials, and comfort has been greatly enhanced thanks to the mechanical design which has been optimised to the smallest detail: the constant bend of the headband, an even distribution of weight, the design of the yoke and the memory foam ear-pieces.   ACOUSTIC TRANSPARENCY AND EASY CUSTOMISATION The cable supplied with Utopia was specifically selected for its capability to respect the original audio signal, such as its very low impedance (< 90 mΩ/metre). It is totally symmetrical in order to offer extremely low crosstalk (< 70 picofarads). The shielding protects it from electromagnetic interference and allows for a longer cable (4m/13 ft.). Finally, the 9.5mm Lemo® connector and the 6.35mm Neutrik® stereo jack enable easy customisation.   Very high-end audiophile open-back circum-aural headphones for low-noise environments   Designed and manufactured in France and equipped with exclusive technology resulting from more than 35 years of expertise   A pure, elegant and sophisticated design due to the carbon fibre yoke and Pittards® Leather headband
