Know before you buy
The Composer stands out due to its proprietary 49mm Hi-X drivers and an open-back design that achieves exceptionally low Total Harmonic Distortion. It is specifically engineered in Vienna for professional-grade accuracy, offering a balance of precise high frequencies and fast, controlled bass.
Yes, they are designed for extended use. The unit weighs under 400 grams and features a specialized heat-releasing mesh headband to minimize discomfort and perspiration during long listening sessions.
The Composer uses a nonproprietary banana jack system that attaches directly to the headband rather than the earcups. This design choice helps protect the drivers and ensures a more secure, durable connection.
While they are designed for professional studio monitoring, they come with three detachable cables and a 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter. With an impedance of 22Ω, they are relatively easy to drive, though a high-quality dedicated amplifier will help you get the most out of their reference-grade performance.
An open-back design allows air to pass through the earcups, which prevents pressure buildup and creates a more natural, spacious soundstage. Keep in mind that this design does not block out external noise and will leak sound, so it is best suited for quiet studio or home environments.
Yes, Austrian Audio designed The Composer to be fully serviceable. This modular approach ensures that you can maintain or repair the headphones over time, extending the lifespan of your investment.
