Flagship Audiophile Headphones are custom-tailored for maximum fidelity and uncompromising performance. They are the creme de la creme of portable audio gear and offer the ultimate listening experience. If you care about audio quality above all else, you'll want a good pair of flagship audiophile headphones. They reproduce sound accurately, and most can create a spacious and open soundstage that mimics listening to music on speakers. They also look and feel well-built and comfortable enough to fully enjoy the music without being reminded that you're wearing headphones at all. The best audiophile headphones deliver top-tier sound quality and get you closer to your favourite artists, regardless of your musical tastes. There's something about flagship audiophile headphones that drags you in, and once it does, it's impossible to go back to using consumer-grade audio headphones.
Factors to consider while buying Flagship Audiophile Headphones :
Drivers - Audiophile Headphones feature highly specialised speakers known as drivers, and the types of drivers are Dynamic, Planar magnetic, and Electrostatic. Each of these drivers has its unique sound, and you can choose a Headphone with a specific driver type as per your preference.
Sound Signature - It’s a fact that each Headphone presents a unique sound, and this can be attributed to its Tuning or Sound Signature. There are some standard tuning like Warm & Smooth, Flat, Balanced and V-Shaped that IEMs present and you can choose one according to your taste and the type of music you listen to daily.
Fit - Headphone fit impacts sound quality. Optimum fit means better sound, more noise isolation, and improved bass, soundstage, and mid and upper tonal clarity. You can find headphones offering an Over the Ear or On-Ear Fit. Headphones are also made with an Open Back or Closed Back design, and both present a unique sound. Closed backs keep the sound in the headphones, preventing that noise bleed that makes public commutes and studying in the library painfully awkward. Open-back headphones do not attempt to keep the noise in the speaker emitting sound into your ears and out the backs of the headphones.
Cables - Most high-quality Headphones include high-quality cables that are interchangeable. You can change or choose one to be compatible with your digital player (DAP), headphone DAC/AMP. There are a variety of cables to choose from like OFC (Oxygen Free Copper Cables), Silver Plated and Silver Plated Copper Cables to name a few.
Termination - While Headphones use several different connections, the end of the cable that goes into your headphone Amp or DAC is standardised. The big difference is whether your connecting cable is balanced or unbalanced. Balanced (2.5mm and 4.4mm) means that the signal is transmitted via separate positive and negative terminals, allowing the voltage to be evenly transmitted. Unbalanced (3.5mm and 6.35mm) – also called single-ended means that there is only the signal and ground, with no separate audio signal for positive/negative. Balanced can deliver a more consistent signal with less noise, and the positive/negative terminals enable headphone amps to transmit more power via balanced signal than unbalanced.
Soundstage - How “big” and multidimensional does the sound feel? Are instruments spread out in terms of height, depth and width? Does the instrument placement feel accurate? The soundscape should feel colourful, and the best audiophile headphones will make you feel like you’re surrounded by sound.
Separation - Most people can tell when music sounds “muddy.” The mix will sound congested and poorly defined. An Audiophile Headphone will have clean instrument separation.
