Every beat counts
Good music deserves to be played right. We’ve designed and fine-tuned the P100 across a wide range of genres, to deliver phenomenal sound, no matter what you’re listening to.
Superior amplification
Class AB amplification — core to our award-winning CX-series amplifiers — powers our signature sound. A proven technology that’s audibly better than the standard tech found in 99% of headphones.
