Know before you buy
The horn-loaded design acts as an acoustic amplifier, helping the drivers move air more efficiently. This results in a highly dynamic, immersive soundstage that feels more like listening to speakers in a room than traditional closed-back headphones.
With an impedance of 33 Ohms and a high sensitivity of 116 dB, these headphones are relatively easy to drive. While they will work with most devices, using a dedicated DAC or amplifier will help you get the most out of the graphene-hybrid drivers.
Graphene is incredibly strong and lightweight, which allows the 50mm membrane to move with extreme precision. This minimizes distortion and improves transient response, giving you a sound that is remarkably clear and detailed, similar to the performance of planar-magnetic drivers.
Yes, the combination of genuine lambskin leather cushions and a well-balanced steel headband is designed for extended wear. While they weigh 406 grams, the ergonomic fit helps distribute that weight evenly to prevent fatigue.
Yes, the Gjallarhorn GH 50 JM Edition features a detachable cable system. This allows you to easily replace the included 2-meter OFC cable or swap it for a custom cable of your choice.
The precious wood earcups are not just for aesthetics; they provide natural resonance and internal damping. This contributes to the headphone's warm, organic tonal quality and helps manage internal reflections for a more natural sound signature.
