The worldÂ’s most advanced planar magnetic headphone, the Audeze EL-8 Open-Back Headphones!
"Just like its upmarket Audeze siblings the EL-8 is designed and made in the US. Not only that, I think it's more comfortable and better looking than Audeze's higher-end LCD series headphones. The EL-8 is one of the few planar magnetic headphones to shine when plugged into portable (battery-powered) music players... I love this headphone, it delivers extraordinary resolution, hard-hitting dynamics, accurate and powerful bass, and spacious imaging. The Audeze EL-8 is a force to be reckoned with." - Steve Guttenberg, www.cnet.com
"Bottom line, these sound fantastic and are an absolute joy to listen to music with. If you want that natural sound with a grand soundstage, you got it. Want that fantastic top-end, and tricky-to-master smooth midrange? ThatÂ’s in abundance too. These cover the full sound spectrum with consummate ease. Moving from the bassy kick in up-tempo music, to the instrument and vocal separation in live performances, the EL-8 adapt almost seamlessly... Fantastic sound quality packed into a beautifully crafted design." - Michael Sawh, www.trustedreviews.com
"AudezeÂ’s brazenly advanced EL-8 come dangerously close to the performance youÂ’d expect from headphones costing upward of $1,000... if youÂ’re looking to step into serious performance for under a grand, AudezeÂ’s EL-8 are a shining beacon at the top of their class." - Ryan Waniata, www.digitaltrends.com
