They are equipped with 40mm drivers which respond according to parameters set by expert engineer Phil Jones. The headband has a strong but collapsible steel framework which reduces their size considerably for storage and travel and they come with a case to keep them in. They are another closed back option with suitable cushioned cups and an ergonomic headband that feature comfortable headrests which help to alleviate cranial pressure. They have a strong design concept and are well-constructed. This pair has made an appearance before, namely because they provide audiophile quality sound which outperforms similarly priced sets. Next up we have another impressive set this time from Edifier. They also harbor the company’s proprietary CC voice coils. They deliver full-range audio with epic dynamics and ideal for tracking and mixing. They are equipped with very capable 40mm diaphragms which are driven by neodymium and have great output. They are cushioned with high-grade padding and are beautifully engineered and exceptionally well-made.
Their foldable nature lends them better portability which is important for storage and transit. They feature a single-sided straight wire and a strong collapsible design, with mounted swivel ear-cups, they can only move 15 degrees which gives them more stability than some folding designs. The M30x model sits in the middle of the M series and we think it is a mid-range representation of the bar setting abilities the series is blessed with having. To get the ball rolling we have an Audio Technica set which we explored in detail in our 5 best Audio Technica headphones article.
