Somic V2 Headphones

Somic’s V2 headphones offer an astonishing value for the price. In fact, several reviewers have declared them the best headphones under $50—and among the best under $100, too. They feature an open-back construction with ample padding on the headband and ear pads for hours of comfortable listening. You’ll even get an extra pair of pads that you can swap in at a later date. The 42-millimeter driver uses an ultra-thin composite diaphragm, and the thick cable has a spring relief at the end for added durability. Of the sound, Head-Fi’s mark2410 says, “I had never heard of Somic before and even Googling these I could find almost nothing about them … That, dear reader, is a travesty. These are excellent, so much more flat and balanced than I expected. So much more detailed, so much more nuanced in the mids especially.”
