Audiophile

The audiophile headphone offers listeners a totally immersive experience that is meant to simulate the highest level of fidelity, equivalent to high-end loudspeakers, without having to deal with the inherent problems associated with room acoustics. Built with the highest quality drivers, they are designed to be driven by a headphone amplifier and dedicated source. Audiophile headphones bring one as close to the original recording as possible. The term serves as a generic term for all headphones that offer the best possible sound quality, but for our purposes, it is a category consisting of full-size headphones (hi-fi headphones often used as recording studio monitors which require critically clean sound), ear pad headphones (lighter, portable open monitors), and in-ear monitors (which offer total isolation with high fidelity).
