Andover Audio PM-50 Headphones

Going all-in on its first-ever headphone release, Andover Audio has outfitted the all-new PM-50 with premium components to deliver detailed, distortion-free audio. First up are 50-millimeter planar magnetic drivers, which eliminate unwanted “cone breakup” and phase distortions often found in headphones with dynamic drivers. Made with the same processes as the Air Motion Ribbon Tweeters used in Andover’s popular Model One turntable, the PM-50's planar magnetic drivers deliver rich music detail with studio-grade authenticity. This audio is augmented by the headphones’ open-back design finished in natural walnut wood, coming together in a complete package that Secrets of Home Theater and Audio Fidelity reviewer Indiana Lang calls "a work of art" with "an amazing level of attention." Summing it all up in a 4.5-star review on Head-Fi, member Wiljen calls the PM-50 “gorgeous ... well-built, well-tuned ... [with] better than average instrument separation.”
