Listen, Produce, and Podcast in Stunning HD

A true standout set of hi-fi cans, Avantone Pro Planar the II open-back headphones deliver the professional-grade depth and clarity audiophiles crave with the comfort and convenience that all users require. These over-ear, open-back ’phones boast Planar drivers, supplying extraordinarily accurate, clear, and full-bodied 30Hz to 30kHz frequency response with absolutely minimal distortion that knocks moving coil drivers out of the water. Planar the II headphones are incredibly lightweight, too, ensuring maximum comfort for those longer projects and ultra-involved sessions. But they aren’t just for mixing — Sweetwater pros recommend Planar the IIs while tracking, podcasting, livestreaming, or even just for a superior listening experience around the house. Along with your pair of headphones, you’ll also receive a pro-grade and noiseless 3.5mm cable and an eco-friendly transport bag for easy carrying to traveling sessions.

Unparalleled Planar performance

By using proprietary drivers instead of standard moving coil drivers, Planar the II headphones offer up a detailed listening experience like no other. That’s because Planar drivers feature a non-elastic neutral position returning by way of a neodymium magnet matrix, which both push and pull to more evenly spread force across the diaphragm for a well-balanced, focused, and immaculate wave result. Their front and rear magnet placement also applies equalized force, creating a natural result with virtually nonexistent distortion. Detailed, responsive, and accurate — Sweetwater audiophiles are blown away by the change from moving coils!

Comfortably constructed for all

Take Planar the II headphones into your mixing room, and you’ll pick up every last detail with the utmost clarity. But what about other applications? Planar the IIs are ideally suited for flawless following quality while tracking instruments, monitoring podcast and streaming microphones, and for 3.5mm listening connections that let you enjoy every nuance of your favorite songs and playlists. And longer sessions will be a piece of cake. Extreme comfort comes courtesy of Planar the II’s larger and cozy rectangular ear pads, which are housed by premium open-back engineering that minimizes pressure buildup, undesired resonance, and frequency curve. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and quality!
