Premium solid black walnut is carefully milled into a headphone housing, showcasing a design that beautifully echoes the artistry of traditional Japanese woodworking. These headphones are assembled one by one in limited quantities at a Japanese factory, marking a special commemoration of Fostex's 50th anniversary.
The design draws inspiration from the captivating natural phenomenon where sunlight produces a radiant glow as it filters through the spaces amidst trees. This precision-machined design not only upholds structural rigidity but also effectively eliminates the generation of modal vibrations. Each opening is meticulously sized to prevent resonance at particular frequencies.
Leveraging years of accumulated expertise, biocellulose fibers are skillfully blended with other materials under optimal conditions. This results in achieving a low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and high internal loss. These properties enable the faithful reproduction of the beautiful, delicate, high-resolution mid-high frequencies. The inclusion of a free edge enables the accurate reproduction of low midrange frequencies with substantial amplitude.
The magnetic circuit boasts a 50mm driver unit with an impressive magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla. This ultrastrong magnetic circuit ensures minimal distortion and a wide dynamic range.
Aluminum is widely employed for mechanical components to attain a superior quality feel while keeping the product lightweight. Incorporating high specific gravity resin for the baffle plate effectively minimizes resonance noise, resulting in exceptional resolution, a lush midrange, and high-quality bass reproduction.
- The detachable headphone connection terminals are rhodium plated to enhance hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, ultimately boosting their reliability.
- Pure copper headphone cable: HiFC cables constructed from pure copper and enhanced through specialized processing are employed to ensure impeccable conductivity, enabling a precise rendition of the full spectrum of bandwidth.
- Premium artificial leather pad with a soft texture and a low-resilience cushion.
- Provides superior comfort and exceptional sound isolation.

Q: 6. It is priced the same as the (black & Red) Clear MG "Professional" but this Chestnut colored one is NOT labelled "Professional". Is it a "Lower Standard Tool" than the professional (or was the person typing in the description negligent to the details)?
A: The product names are listed in the same manner as Focal lists them on their website and in the product manuals. The Focal Clear MG Open-Back Headphones - Chestnut and Mixed Metal Finish (B&H # FOFCLEARMG) does not list "Professional" in the title and it includes two different cables than those that come with the black and red Focal Clear MG Professional Open-Back Headphones (B&H # FOCLEARPROMG). The Clear MG comes with a 9.8' balanced cable with a 4-pin XLR connector and a 3.9' unbalanced cable with a 3.5mm connector, as well as a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter. The Clear MG Professional comes with a 16' unbalanced coiled cable with a 1/4" connector and a 3.9' unbalanced cable with a 3.5mm connector, as well as a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter. The specs for both models are exactly the same, but they seem to be marketing to different users which is why the included cables are different. Focal mentions that the Clear MG is for home use while the Clear MG Professional is for studio use. Here are links to the manufacturer's information pages for both models: Clear MG - http://www.focal.com/en/headphones-0/headphones/for-home/clear-mg Clear MG Professional - http://www.focal.com/en/clear-mg-professional-exceptional-headphones-for-music-creators

Q: 9. Does it come with a case?
A: The AKG K 240 Studio do not ship with a case.
Q: 10. Is it good for musicians(keys)
A: I am a musician and home recording enthusiast. I had a pair of these headphones 20 years ago and I decided to buy them again. They are just really good, basic, headphones. Whether you play keys or other instruments should not be what makes you decide. Headphones should give an accurate, flat response for whatever music you listen to so you can make decisions about your tone. I really dont want to spend over $100 for headphones. I only use these at night (when its too quiet to listen to studio monitors or recording when you cant have the monitors bleed thru the track so these were really the choice that made the most sense for me.
