Industry Leading Design: New Audeze EL-8


Audeze is widely considered one of the premier headphone manufacturers today. Audeze headphones are well known for their unique designs, industry leading technologies and unparalleled performance. Their planar magnetic transducer technology is the heart of each pair of Audeze headphones, including the new EL-8 open-back headphones. The EL-8 headphones were carefully engineered to produce the same warm, detailed soundstage Audeze is known for while also being more convenient for everyday use. These ultra efficient headphones can be driven by smartphones, tablets and other portable music players without an amplifier (although an amplifier is still recommended for peak performance). Further improving on-the-go use, Audeze built the EL-8 headphones to be lighter weight than traditional planar magnetic headphones. Audeze developed new patent-pending technologies and utilized design techniques from their other headphone lines to give you the new must-have in the headphone world!


I love this headphone, it delivers extraordinary resolution, hard-hitting dynamics, accurate and powerful bass, and spacious imaging. One of the few planar magnetic headphones to shine when plugged into portable music players.

- CNET’s, Steve Guttenberg


Patent Pending Technology

Audeze developed a new patent-pending Fluxor magnetic technology especially for the EL-8 headphones. The EL-8 headphones deliver nearly twice the strength of the finest neodymium headphone magnets. This new magnet setup reduces the weight of the headphones while also greatly improving their efficiency. The EL-8's also introduce an industry first in Audeze's patent pending Uniforce diaphragm. This new diaphragm creates a uniform driving force across the entire surface of the diaphragm to dramatically reduce distortion while giving you better resolution and imaging. Lastly, Audeze took the patent pending Fazor technology introduced in the LCD Collection to provide extended frequency response and improve high frequency extension and phase response. These headphones represent the pinnacle of headphone design to give you the ultimate listening experience!

EL-8s

great set of planar HPs - built like a tank / to my surprise lighter (weight-wise!) than expected - planar HPs are usually on bulkier and weight a ton side - ! - this are well built and design is attractive and pretty comfy / sound-wise like most planar HPs it's a joy to listen to this cans - they deliver a pleasantly velvet sound (have not found a genre where I did not like the performance of EL-8s ;) !) mostly due to physical properties of reproduction (you have to be a fan of planar HPs) / wish Audeze included a better stock cable and made a better connections to the cans - not a big fan of it - but it does the job ! another positive I discovered is ?! easily driven by iPhone, but an amp will make them sing ! highly - highly recommend !
