Description

Pro-Ject's main philosophy is to produce and develop products with minimalistic design and great sound for the money. As we designed our first pair of headphones, we were looking for a low-cost mechanical design with the highest level of functionality and wearing comfort. This allowed us to allocate the majority of the budget in the BEST drivers, and the BEST cables.

As we designed our first pair of headphones, we were looking for a low-cost mechanical design with the highest level of functionality and wearing comfort. This allowed us to allocate the majority of the budget in the BEST drivers, and the BEST cables.Sound Tuning – Hi-Res Cushions includedWe also spent a lot of time in voicing. Especially the memory foam cushions had a lot of influence to the sound. Extra cushions are also included free of charge to tune the characteristics to your sound preferences. Our Hi-Res Cushions can be described as more open and dynamic, while the standard cushions sound more soft and full-bodied.

Our interview with the brand

What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?

Pro-Ject Audio Systems was founded with a passion for analog audio reproduction. Our very first product, introduced in 1991, was a record player – a time when the entire industry was turning its back on vinyl. We didn’t jump on the bandwagon when vinyl became hip – we were instrumental in bringing vinyl back.

We manufacture – not only assemble – 95% of our products in the EU. Raw materials come in – finished products leave the factories. Since we make everything ourselves, we are able offer a 25 year spare part availability!

Today, we offer one of the broadest ranges of high-fidelity products in the world, including turntables, CD players, DACs, streamers, phono preamps, amplifiers, speakers, and a variety of accessories designed to enhance your system and vinyl care.

What's your approach to customer support?

Pro-Ject Audio Systems has a worldwide network of dealers and distributors. We ensure that our team members are highly knowledgeable in the field of high-fidelity audio setup and repairs. In the event of a need for support, the first point of contact is the local dealer. If the dealer cannot handle the problem, the second tier is the distributor in the respective country. By handling as many problems as possible locally, we can ensure the quickest and smoothest resolution.

What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?

Aside from one of the audio industry’s widest range of high-fidelity products, Pro-Ject also produces limited runs of high-quality vinyl records. 7Ray’s Jazzy Zoetrope is a double album of fine Jazz standards played by 7Ray and his quartet. One of the two records was recorded live at our headquarters in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria. We produced the whole album in AAA for the highest analog purity. Here’s a link to the records we offer, which double as fine reference recordings across multiple musical genres.

Reviews

Focal is a French hifi brand that makes their own drivers in-house, including their highly-regarded beryllium tweeters and unique slatefiber mid/bass drivers made from recycled carbon fiber. Their speakers and headphones feature distinctive technologies like their "W" sandwich cone design for optimal driver performance and Mimi Sound Personalization that adapts audio to individual hearing profiles.

Expand Details

Our summary

Product Strengths

Excellent sound quality delivers a rich, full, detailed, and clear experience, rivaling higher-end wired headphones
Comfortable for long listening sessions due to soft earpads and good weight distribution
High-quality build with premium materials like magnesium yokes, aluminum band, and leather padding
Effective noise canceling is comparable to leading brands like Bose and Sony, and offers a transparency mode
Versatile connectivity with Bluetooth (aptX Adaptive), USB-DAC mode (up to 24/192), and analog 3.5mm

Product Considerations

Active noise canceling (ANC) isn't the absolute best on the market
Stock cables are considered basic and somewhat short
The app, while offering EQ and other adjustments, can be clunky and difficult to connect initially, and some users have reported firmware update issues
The headphones always need battery power to function, even when using a wired connection
Some reviewers found the bass a little too elevated in the lower mids

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

The Bathys has a more natural fit, a better mic, more connectivity options, and a companion app that allows for better sound adjustments, while the AirPods Max excels in noise canceling
The Bathys has more consistent audio delivery, a more robust EQ, and better overall noise isolation, while the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 is more comfortable and better built
The Bathys has similar noise isolation performance and similar USB-C and analog capabilities, but the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless has a more accurate treble response and better battery life
The Bathys has better sound, is more comfortable, and is better built than the Sony WH-1000XM5, while the XM5 has better battery and better noise isolation
The Focal Celestee is better built, more comfortable, and wired, while the Bathys has a USB-DAC mode for higher-quality audio and a companion app to adjust it

Dan Clark Audio

Noire X

999

Reviews

Dan Clark Audio sets itself apart with its patented Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System, which uses waveguides and resonators to shape frequency response to uniquely close adherence to various targets, and a unique tensioning system that ensures consistent performance across their headphone units. Their summit-tier headphones feature an uncommon folding design for portability, and their self-adjusting headbands offer extended comfort during long listening sessions.

Enclosure Material: Composite

Expand Details

Our summary

Planar Magnetic Driver

Product Strengths

Excellent, well-balanced tuning, especially for a closed-back headphone
Good bass response, being tight, punchy, and hard-hitting with quality and fidelity, but not overly bassy
Comfortable to wear, using the self-adjusting headband and comfortable pads from the E3 model
Shares a lot of similarities with the E3, but at a lower price point
Good soundstaging, with decent width and depth for a closed-back headphone

Product Considerations

The Piano Gloss Black finish is prone to fingerprints, smudges, and scratches, making it difficult to keep clean
Soundstage could be wider compared to some competitors
Detail retrieval is good but not a standout feature and may not be at the level expected for the price, particularly when compared to higher-end headphones
Highs can be a little spicy, and the treble can be a bit more exciting, but less refined than E3
Pads are glued on, which may make pad replacement more difficult, while being an upside for better seal to the baffle

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

Vs. Dan Clark Audio E3: Is 90% of the headphone that the E3 is at half the cost
Vs. Sennheiser HD6XX: The low-end is miles better, mids are almost equally delicious, but the highs are where the HD6XX seems a tad cleaner
Vs. ZMF Auteur Classic: The Dan Clark Audio Noire X is the more technical and more neutral ride

Takeaway: The Noire X is a comfortable, well-tuned, and versatile closed-back headphone that is a great choice for those wanting a smooth and enjoyable listening experience. It offers a lot of value and is a strong contender in its price range.

Our summary

Balanced Armature Driver

Multi-Driver

Product Strengths

Excellent fit and comfortable for many users, even for extended listening periods
Very well-balanced and tuned sound signature, often described as a warm, mature, or safe Harman-ish tuning
Smooth treble presentation, avoiding sibilance, sharpness, or fatigue, while still retaining detail
Good bass performance for an all-balanced armature set, with nice punch and attack, though primarily focused on sub-bass
Very good natural tonality and timbre, avoiding a metallic or unnatural sound often associated with balanced armatures

Product Considerations

Soundstage and imaging could be better for the price, described as average and not particularly wide or holographic
May lack a 'hook' or standout factor in its sound quality, some find it to be a more laid-back and less engaging sound
The shells are quite big, which may be problematic for users with small ears
The recessed 2-pin sockets could be designed better with a deeper fit
May sound 'boring' at mid-to-low volumes, according to one reviewer

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

Vs Moondrop S8: RSV offers a warmer and fuller sound with a more even midrange, while the S8 is leaner and more forward, with the S8 being more engaging overall
Vs Dunu SA6: RSV has better bass quality, while the SA6 has a slightly more pronounced treble

Takeaway: The Soft Ears RSV is a comfortable and well-tuned IEM that delivers a balanced and enjoyable listening experience. It is particularly well-suited for those who appreciate a smooth, natural sound with excellent vocal reproduction.

FT1

Released

2024

The FiiO FT1 offers North American walnut / beech wood ear shells with natural solid wood construction, effectively reducing cavity resonance and minimizing standing waves. Each wooden ear shell features unique grain patterns.

FiiO stands out for integrating unique features into portable audio devices, such as their BTR7 DAC/amplifier with its screen and wireless charging, and their KB3 mechanical keyboard with a built-in DAC/amp. The brand caters to audiophiles seeking personalization through products like their pioneering X7 music player with interchangeable amp modules and their compact R7 desktop system that combines streaming, DAC, and headphone amplification capabilities.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

Shockingly good for the money, a very well-tuned headphone for the price category
Good bass response that is fun, with lots of thumpiness and impact in the lower sub-bass regions, while maintaining a clean mid-bass region
Trouble response is fairly target-adherent with a chill character and not overly fatiguing
Comes with a banger accessories package providing two cables, a carry case, more than a lot of companies are coming out with
Delivers impressive sound quality across the board, backed by excellent build quality and a generous set of accessories

Product Considerations

The actual earpad area for the ear is not super great, and it will be felt a little bit on the ear, might be more on-ear than fully over-ear if you have really large ears
Sound staging is one area that could improve the most, because there is almost none, can sound almost claustrophobic, because everything is happening right here all the time
Mid-range is not all that exciting to listen to, vocals can be shouty or honk-type sound to certain vocalists
Build quality feels good for $150, but it would not pass the sniff test for $500, definitely feels like it's a budget device

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

The AKG K361 has advantages over the FiiO FT1, like sound staging
The FT1’s level of midrange fidelity is impressive, rivaling the best mid-fi headphones such as the Sennheiser HD6XX and the Sundara
It outshines most closed-back classics, including the Sony MDR-7506, AKG K361, and beyerdynamic DT700 Pro X
The smaller FiiO FT1 was enjoyed even more than the FiiO FT5, since it strikes the right balance between fun, warmth, and technicality, handling tough tracks with much more ease than anticipated

Takeaway: The FiiO FT1 is a surprisingly good closed-back headphone for the money and offers a well-tuned sound signature with good bass response. This headphone is priced at $150 and is surprisingly nice with some great terminations.

Our Summary

Wireless

Product Strengths

Polished, almost studio-like audio quality with big bass
Has multipoint connectivity and lossless codecs
Very long battery life, up to 50 hours with ANC on
Exciting listen along with on-the-go features

Product Considerations

Ear pads are hard to remove
Touchpad for controls is a bit finicky and has inconsistent sensitivity

The high end is also a little hyped, adding to the clarity
Although the bass bloats into the lower-mids, the rest of the midrange is nicely tuned

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

Vs Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e: The Aventho 300 brings studio sensibilities to its soundstage, while the Px7 aims for accurate linearity
Vs Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X headphones: Using the same drivers as the company's studio-oriented DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X, the sound quality will make one feel like they have taken a blanket off their music, especially when upgrading from a cheaper model
Vs Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless: They are only beaten by the Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the Marshall Monitor III

Takeaway: The Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 sound polished and are meant for the studio, but they still have a large bass response. For those seeking something different without sacrificing quality, these headphones offer a compelling combination of sound quality and features.

Released

2023

SVANAR Wireless — Ultimate Personal Audio in True Wireless Form.

HIFIMAN is a hifi brand known for its planar magnetic headphones that use extremely thin diaphragms and acoustically transparent "Stealth Magnets" to reduce sound distortion. The company pioneered high-resolution portable audio players and creates electrostatic headphones that bring high-end sound quality to more accessible price points, as well as widely renowned flagship models such as the Susvara.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Wireless

Product Strengths

Excellent sound quality, potentially challenging cabled IEMs, with a dynamic and holographic rendering and beautiful mids and airy treble.
Effective ANC, making it suitable for reducing ambient noise, even in noisy environments, with up to 35dB of noise attenuation.
Good build quality, with the IEMs made of lightweight metal and Kevlar, and a sturdy charging case.
Good bass performance, with texture and extension, punchy, without overpowering, and a powerful but tight impact.
Wide soundstage, creating a spacious and immersive listening experience.

Product Considerations

Connectivity issues with LDAC, especially outdoors or in areas with interference, leading to intermittent signal drops.
Transparency mode might generate turbulence in windy conditions due to microphone placement.
Limited codecs available, with no aptX support.
Physical size of the charging case is large and might not be pocket-friendly.
Included eartips may not be suitable for all ear sizes, with a shorter nozzle affecting fit for some users.

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

Vs Final ZE8000: Svanar Wireless offers a more W-shaped and punchy signature, greater upper mids gain, more precise imaging, and a vaster sound layering capability, while the ZE8000 sound more neutral to L shape, warmer, and have more sub bass boost and warmth.
Vs Noble FoKus Mystique: Svanar Wireless has some emphasis in the bass, but not as much, has stronger overall imaging performance—providing a wider soundstage and the best balance between the separation and cohesion in the imaging.
Vs HIFIMAN Svanar (wired): Svanar Wireless soundstage is taller and wider but not as deep, since clarity isn’t as sharp and clean, silence being more ”noisy”.
Vs Sony WF-1000XM4: The Svanar Wireless presents a much more detailed, natural and sophisticated kind of sound, while Sony has bloated bass, that overwhelms everything else.
Vs Apple AirPods Pro: The Svanar Wireless generally outperforms the AirPods Pro in sound quality.

Takeaway: The Svanar Wireless is a solid choice for TWS lovers, with a top-tier sound quality, effective ANC, and its convenience and comfort. It is innovative, less bass-heavy tuning, and overall a solid proposal.
