"The Studiophile Q40 headphones utilise professional-grade dynamic drivers that deliver full-range specs and stunning sonic detail," says the company. The extra-large drivers measure 40mm in diameter. The combination of vented diaphragms made of low-mass treated mylar, neodymium magnets and copper-clad aluminum voice coils, deliver efficient performance for enhanced bass. These elements come together in M-Audio's custom enclosure, which has been specially tuned to further extend low frequencies, the company says.
The headphones feature sealed backings and comfortable ear cups that completely surround the ears, resulting in "excellent isolation from outside noise". This enables users to hear more detail at lower volumes, which protects their hearing while tracking, mixing or listening in any noisy environment.
The headphones are designed to closely emulate the experience of listening to full-sized reference monitors in a professional studio environment.
"With the Studiophile Q40, we've taken everything we've learned from building our popular reference monitors and created exactly what people expect from M-Audio - top quality and easy mobility," says Adam Castillo, marketing director at M-Audio. "The Q40 headphones are ideal for tracking and mixing, as well as simply enjoying music."
