A smaller mass from either the diaphragm or conductor traces results
in a higher upper frequency bound.
Outstanding Sound Quality
Compared to traditional dynamic headphones, the planar magnetic
technology offers largely superior sounding experience in terms of
quality and soundstage. Dynamic headphones utilize conductors
that vibrate in select areas of the diaphragm. This results in a large
percentage of the diaphragm that cannot be directly driven by
those conductors. Planar magnetic headphones are fundamentally
different and operate on a different technical principle. Firstly, the
weight of the planar headphones (cond diaphragm) is
much lower than the dynamic ones. This results in planar
headphones’ superior performance in treble.

Planar
Planar headphones have conductive layers distributed throughout the
surface of diaphragm. The diaphragm is evenly driven by the magnetic
force so that planar headphones have significantly lower distortion when
compared with conventional dynamic headphones.
This lower distortion results in better overall reproduction of minute
details. Instrumental positioning and imaging are improved, and the
headphone has very natural soundstaging capabilities.
