Imagine a typical rural vista. Rolling hills, the occasional shrub or hedgerow breaking up the undulating array of ploughed and furrowed fields, a healthy handful of docile white sheep dotting the landscape as the sun shimmers amidst a cloudless blue sky. Now imagine that you’re viewing that appealing bucolic idyll through a large window, a window that’s so spotlessly clean and transparent that you barely notice it’s there at all. All you can see are the hills, the fields, the sheep and the sky.
In our experience, Austrian Audio headphones tend to get closer to this ideal than most – precise, informative and resplendently clear in their presentation. Austrian Audio tends to produce cans that refuse to get in the way of your music, instead dropping back and simply allowing it to be as it is. No fuss, not much flavouring, just the musical facts.
