Since then, it has produced a string of high-quality contenders that can stand toe to toe with the best from the established competition. These high-end, openbacked headphones aim to set the standard at their price, and straight away they impress. There’s no denying the high standard of build and finish here. The quality of the materials is excellent, from the leather used on the thick, cushioned headband to the microfibre cloth on the cosseting earpads. We love the intricate hexagonal metal detailing on the open-backed earcups, not to mention the durable feel of the overall structure.
At the heart of the Clear Mg is a new full-range 40mm magnesium-coned drive unit. Magnesium has been chosen for its blend of lightness and stiffness, while the use of a carefully chosen surround helps to control damping and resonant behaviour.
You will find a tough carrying case along with a choice of two detachable leads in the plush packaging. There is a 1.2m option with a 3.5mm jack (with a 6.3mm adaptor), as well as a 3m, 4-pin XLR alternative.

Q Acoustics M40
A pair of powered baby floorstanders that have big shoes to fill
YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
