Top Planar Magnetic Headphones
Planar magnetic headphones provide the most detailed and expansive listening experience. Audiophiles who want to upgrade their listening experience are raving about them.
The best planar magnetic headphone depends on your priorities. It comes down to clarity, image structure and distinction in comparison to bass sound and slam.
1. Audeze LCD-2 Classic
The original LCD-2 was the first pair of planar magnetic headphones that really took off. It became so popular that it's now synonymous with the technology, and is still one of the best planar magnetic headphones headphones available. The quality of its sound is incredible particularly for a headset that costs over $1,000. The bass extends all the way down past human hearing, and it is awe-inspiring in detail. The mids and upper treble are warm, but not in an obnoxious way. Overall the sound is clear and precise and has very little distortion.
They are extremely comfortable to wear, too. The headband is soft and flexible, while the earpads are extremely soft. They're light enough to wear for long listening sessions without becoming tired. They don't encase the ear canals like other open-back models, so you can hear what's going on around you. This isn't a problem in quiet environments, but it can be a problem in louder ones.
The LCD-2 Classics have a very solid build and are built to last. The earcups of the LCD-2 Classics are constructed of crystal-infused nylon. This is a great material for a headphones. It appears robust and long-lasting, and is significantly lighter than the wooden rings used on other Audeze models.
However, the LCD-2 Classics don't feel quite as luxurious as other high-end headphones. They have a DIY feel to them with all the screws visible and the lack of a finish on the metal parts. They are still a fantastic pair of headphones, but they may not be the best choice for everyone.
Monoprice Monolith M1060 offers a similar product for a lower price. These headphones have the same planar technology of the LCD-2 Classics but at a lower cost. The earcups are sealed better and they come with a carry case. The only thing that's missing is the impressive bass extension and clarity that the LCD-2 Classics have, but they still offer an incredible sound that will please most audiophiles.
2. Meze LIRIC
Meze Audio has made a name for itself with its unique and affordable line of planar magnetic headphones. The latest headphone from the company model, the LIRIC 2nd Generation, builds on the first-generation model's success with improved performance and a new striped ebony finish that offers improved modularity and a long, sustainable life.
The LIRIC boasts a full-frequency response that goes from 4Hz to 92kHz. It delivers impressively detailed music with exceptional clarity and a broad soundstage. In addition, the headphone's QWRM (Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask) effectively reduces high-frequency spikes that can be exhausting to the ears.
The headphones are designed to block out background noise and provide high-quality listening while on the move. The headphones sport an ovoid design that mimics the shape of human ear to provide an immediate connection to the source of sound.
The Meze LIRIC includes the company's own proprietary Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver that has dual shaped voice coils to improve the ambience and spatial sound imaging. Dual voicing is the result of more than 30 years of research and development which makes it one of the lightest and most advanced planar magnetic drivers available on the market.
To improve the sound quality, the LIRIC headphones have a pressure equalization system that precisely regulates airflow and the pressure in the ear cup chamber. This allows listeners to hear the same high-quality sound regardless of whether they're wearing the headphones in a workplace or on the plane.
In my tests in my tests, the Meze LIRIC produced a stunningly balanced and smooth sound that's very enjoyable to listen for long hours. The bass is booming and deep, with a clear treble. The soundstage is expansive and there's a good separation between vocals and instruments. I also appreciated the fact that nothing of an album was too small to not attract the attention of the headphones including the decay and attack of PJ Harvey's 50ft Queenie down to the individual strings on an electric guitar.
The Meze LIRIC is a great option if you're searching for the top closed-back planar magnet headphones under $2000. It's a great alternative to the Dan Clark Audio E3 but has a slightly different sound and is lighter overall.
3. Meze Elite
In their quest to create a pair of headphones that are both visually stunning and sounding great, Romanian manufacturer Meze Audio have increased their game recently with a number of flagship products. The Elite is Meze Audio's most premium headphone to date, and replaces the Empyrean, which was previously their flagship.
The Elite is also an open-back, however, it has unique wings that enhance wearability. The wings function similar to the design used on Dan Clark, HiFIMan, or Sendy headphones in that they distribute the weight of the heavier than average driver over a greater area of your head to increase the comfort when listening for long durations. Based on my experience, they actually work well and the Elite can be worn for long periods of time without discomfort.
The Elite is a reference style headphone that features an upgraded hybrid isodynamic driver. It is capable of delivering extremely low harmonic distortion, averaging less than 0.1% over its entire frequency range. It has an excellent sensitivity of 101 dB/mW, and an impedance of 32 ohms. This means that it can be driven by low-cost headphone amps or DAPs if they can be used with the standard jack.
The Elite's diaphragm has been a significant improvement over the Empyrean and is moving away from the polymer that was developed by a custom-made company to utilize a low-mass semi-crystalline film that has been developed by biaxial lengthening in a sequential manner. This allows the Elite to have a thin yet rigid diaphragm while still offering outstanding resistance to fatigue and stress cracking.
The Elite's lower-mass diaphragm result in increased speed and planar magnetic drivers resolution. It is now capable of competing with other models like the Audeze LCD-2 Classic at a less expensive price. The Elite is even more precise and neutral than the LCD-2 but still offers the feeling of clarity, depth air and transients.
4. Meze HE400SE
The HE400SE planar magnetic earbuds magnetic headphones are among the most popular on the market. It's a great option for audiophiles who want to switch to open-back headphones, or for those who are already comfortable with the technology of planar magnets. It comes with HiFiMAN's latest Stealth Magnet Design, which minimizes distortion and wave diffraction to nearly unnoticeable levels.
Although the HE400SE does not have quite the bass extension some other HiFiMAN models have but it still provides solid low end performance for an open-back headphone. The HE400SE's lower end is very rich and full, but it doesn't sound boomy or bass-heavy. The overall tone is neutral but with some elevated treble and forward midrange that many listeners will find appealing.
The HE400SE is a great sounding model with a clear sound. The HE400SE makes a great option for listening to acoustic and classical music. This is the most affordable headphone for listening to this type of music. However, if you're accustomed to closed-back headphones with more bass-focused tuning, the transition can be uncomfortable. It takes a couple of listening sessions to adjust to it.
The HE400SE's imaging is also impressive. The HE400SE creates a huge and detailed soundstage that makes musicians feel like they are in the right spot. The vocals and the drums are very prominent in Prince's Let's go Crazy. The guitar solo is prominent, and can be easily heard over the other instruments.
The HE400SE has a good extension of the treble and clarity. The treble has a little warmth to it, but is not harsh. It doesn't have the extra brightness that some other headphones with brighter trebles be, but it doesn't have the sibilance or a fatty quality of some other cheaper open back headphones.
The HE400SE has an impedance of 25 O which means it will require a fairly high-powered amplifier to reach its maximum SPL. It works with the majority of smartphones and portable music players, but it requires an amplifier that has at least 0.5 W output to reach its maximum SPL.
