KRK Systems KNS 8400 Headphones

 

KRK Systems have intentionally ruined our reference frame for closed back mid-end headphones by sneaking in the KNS 8400s. Not only do they block out a good amount of noise, their sound signature is extremely pleasing to boot. The fact that they can be...

Low weight, Memory foam pads, Durable construction, Closed back design (higher than average ambient noise attenuation), Balanced sound signature, Comfortable to wear, Can be powered out of normal quality sources, Volume control, Replaceable cable,...

Mids, details, comfort, price, neutrality

Soft pouch instead of hard case, cable is pretty naff
