Know before you buy
Yes, the S4R 1.1 features a closed-back design that provides excellent passive noise isolation. This prevents sound from bleeding into your microphone, making them ideal for recording sessions.
While they excel at recording, they are also designed for critical listening and mixing. Their balanced sound profile provides the accuracy needed to make informed decisions during the mixing process.
The S4R 1.1 is built with extended wear in mind. The over-ear design and ergonomic construction are intended to minimize fatigue during long hours of work.
With an impedance of 50 Ohms, these headphones are relatively easy to drive. They will perform well with most standard studio audio interfaces without requiring a high-powered external amplifier.
Because these are closed-back, they offer a more intimate soundstage and superior isolation compared to open-back models. While open-back headphones often feel more 'airy,' the S4R 1.1 prioritizes the precision and containment required for professional tracking.
