Know before you buy
The Cerakote finish provides a highly durable, scratch-resistant coating that protects the headphone frame while offering a distinct, premium aesthetic. It is significantly more resilient than standard paint finishes, ensuring the headphones maintain their appearance over years of use.
The included ear pads are designed to offer different acoustic signatures, allowing you to tune the sound to your preference. Generally, one set provides a more neutral, analytical sound, while the other enhances warmth and bass response.
Yes, the Elite Tungsten is engineered for comfort with an ergonomic suspension wing system that distributes weight evenly across the head. At 430g, the design minimizes pressure points, making them comfortable for extended periods of use.
As an open-back headphone, the Elite Tungsten does not offer active or passive noise cancellation. You will hear ambient sounds from your environment, and those nearby may hear your music at higher volumes.
The silver-plated PCUHD cable is designed to minimize signal loss and maintain high-fidelity audio transmission. It provides a clean, clear connection that ensures the Rinaro Isodynamic Hybrid Array drivers perform at their full potential.
The Manta stand features a unique folding fin design that allows you to neatly coil and secure your headphone cable. This keeps your desk organized and prevents the cable from tangling or bending excessively when not in use.
