Headphones for educated ears

The KRK KNS 8402 headphones deliver a precise listening experience in a highly durable package, perfect for a variety of uses. The closed, circumaural (“around the ear”) design provides up to 30 dBA of isolation, which significantly reduces headphone “bleed” into microphones when recording. The excellent isolation performance also allows you to focus on the music, without being distracted by external sounds. With a maximum SPL of 124 dB, they are able to deliver all the level you will need while maintaining clear, detailed sound, with very low distortion. KRK headphones are a trusted reference among professional engineers. Their precise frequency response, excellent stereo imaging and consistent KRK voice mean you can rely on them for the most critical monitoring applications. Their impact-resistant plastic construction makes them lightweight, yet durable, and with field-replaceable parts, including ear cushions and cable, they are built to last. The form-fitting memory foam ear cushions mean you can also wear them for hours without fatigue. Because they're so comfortable and so well-suited to a variety of uses, both in the studio and out (tracking, editing, mixing, general listening), they'll quickly become your favorite headphones!
