TECHNOLOGY FOCUS HEADPHONES
Sennheiser’s HD 26 PRO is the latest addition to its completely revised 26 Series of broadcasting headsets. Because of its closed design the HD 26 PRO offers high passive noise attenuation and provides accurate sound reproduction for demanding applications. With soft ear cushions, a split headband, and low weight, they are comfortable even for long- term use. The HD 26 PRO comes with ActiveGard or Peak Level Protection features to protect hearing from
sudden
audio peaks of more than 105dB. This ensures that they
comply with the
EC directive on noise in the workplace. The ActiveGard function can be activated or deactivated. The cable shape of the HD 26
PRO reduces structure-borne noise and its modular concept makes changing cable or cushions extremely
easy.

Ultrasone’s Signature PRO headphones are handcrafted in Germany and equipped with some of the company’s unique technologies. First is Ultrasone’s S-Logic Natural Surround Sound, which uses decentralised driver positioning to ensure that instead of hitting the inner ear directly, sound signals are reflected off the surface of the outer ear in different directions before entering the ear thereby creating a natural three-dimensional sound. S-Logic also reduces SPL at the eardrum by up to 40 percent (3-4dB), which may reduce the risk of hearing damage while ensuring hours of fatigue-free listening. Next, the Signature PRO’s also feature Ultrasone’s Ultra Low Emission (ULE) technology, which is a specially designed MU metal shielding that reduces the low-frequency magnetic fields full-size headphones emit by up to 98 percent, making the headphones much safer to wear, particularly during long sessions.

Shure’s SRH940 headphones are the company’s flagship closed-back headphones. They have been designed for professional audio engineers, and anyone wishing for honesty in sound reproduction. Listeners can expect an accurate response across the audio spectrum to deliver smooth high-end extension with tight bass. There is an absence of hype at the low end, something which is often not the case for many studio headphones. The closed-back design rests comfortably over the ears, and the padded headband allows for comfort, even over extended periods. The headphones come in a protective carry case with a choice of two cables (coiled or straight) and a replacement set of ear pads.
