What reviewers said
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2
No summary yet - we haven't aggregated enough reviews.
Erzetich Titan
The Erzetich Titan is a premium open-back dynamic headphone with substantial 50mm drivers, designed for audiophiles seeking a warm, engaging sound. Its wired connection and lack of ANC keep the focus purely on audio performance, while the detachable cable and leatherette pads add practical comfort for long listening sessions. Weighing 450 grams, it feels solid and robust, though its higher impedance of 80 ohms may benefit from a dedicated amplifier.

- Pro:High-quality 50mm dynamic drivers
- Pro:Detachable cable for easy replacement
- Con:No active noise cancellation
- Con:Relatively heavy at 450 grams
