Know before you buy
The D8000 uses a unique Air Film Damping System (AFDS) combined with a spiral-shaped coil and donut-shaped magnets. This design prevents the diaphragm from touching the magnets during high-excursion playback, resulting in a more controlled, immersive sound profile.
While they feature a 3.5mm connector and include a 1.5m cable, the D8000 is a high-end, open-back headphone that performs best when paired with a dedicated high-quality amplifier. You may find that portable devices struggle to drive them to their full potential.
The D8000 features a robust aluminum-magnesium alloy construction and weighs 523g. While they are built for durability and premium feel, their weight is significant, so they are best suited for stationary listening rather than active movement.
Yes, because the D8000 is an open-back model, sound will leak out of the earcups and ambient noise will enter. These are designed specifically for quiet, private listening environments rather than public or noisy spaces.
Yes, the D8000 features detachable OFC cables. The package includes both 1.5m and 3m lengths, giving you flexibility for different setups, and you can easily swap them out if needed.
No, the D8000 does not include a microphone. These are designed strictly for high-fidelity audio reproduction.
