Austrian Audio nailed this one!! The Composer.

Skeeb236.2K viewsMar 2024

The reviewer finds the Austrian Audio The Composer to be a successful high-end open-back headphone, praising its neutral and reference midrange, deep and tight bass, and a treble that is both detailed and relaxed. He notes the build is comfortable and well-thought-out, though he has minor reservations about the plastic adjustment mechanism and the fit for smaller heads. Overall, he is impressed and considers it a strong entry in the premium headphone market.
