From Our Research Team:

Accuracy and Reliability - and a New Standard in Comfort

You demand a lot from pro headphones, and the KRK KNS8400 closed-back monitor headphones deliver. Voiced to remain true to the character of KRK's class-leading studio monitors, the 8400s are designed to be a true reference monitor, allowing you to record and mix the same way you would using speakers. Exceedingly accurate, the 8400s have a natural, wide frequency response with a silky, articulate high end, as well as extended low-frequency definition that ensures that the bass component of your music is accurately reproduced. And the robust dynamic range exhibited by the KRK KNS8400 serves up consistent low-distortion detail and clarity.

Traditionally, having to switch from speakers to headphones has represented a "disconnect" of sorts in the recording process. You often find that those comfortable, ruggedly built headphones you love bear little sonic resemblance to your trusted monitor speakers. Drawing upon their two-plus decades of experience in studio sound, KRK has solved this dilemma with their KNS series headphones. Happily, "going to headphones" is no longer a jarring experience!

The KRK KNS8400 ushers in a new standard in headphone comfort - even over extended periods of use. The 8400's circumaural design employs high-tech memory foam ear cushions, allowing them to conform to your ear to help ensure a comfortable fit during marathon sessions. KRK has thoughtfully spec'd these 'phones with replaceable parts, including a detachable high-durability oxygen-free copper cable with an in-line volume control. Delivering accuracy, comfort, and reliability, these puppies are designed from the ground up for pro monitoring - so you can trust your headphones as never before.

Finally some headphones that goes well with my KRK setup.

Excellent ceiling overall. Doesn't seem to feel compressed in overall sound dynamic range. Has the KRK feel. Everything is very upfront for you. I can now hear the mixes correctly the way you want it... read more [+] . Bass is tight and not overbearing. Sounds are very tight and crisp. But no hifi...very flat. Construction is top notch and much better made than my old Sony 7506's. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
