Feature Descriptions

High‑Resolution Sound

The HPH‑MT7 is designed to reproduce audio with extreme accuracy. Its custom 40 mm drivers use lightweight aluminum wire coated with copper (CCAW), paired with powerful neodymium magnets. This combination delivers a broad frequency range and precise stereo imaging, ensuring that every detail of the source material is faithfully represented.

Superior Isolation & Comfort

The closed‑back, circumaural design provides excellent isolation—ideal for studio recording, live monitoring, and environments where sound leakage must be minimized. Large synthetic‑leather ear pads with low‑resistance cushions reduce vibration and provide long‑term comfort during extended sessions.

Professional Wearability

A 3D arm pivot and adjustable slider allow the headphones to adapt perfectly to the shape of the user’s head. Moveable earcups enable quick single‑ear monitoring, a common requirement in live sound and broadcast environments.

Built for Reliability

The MT7 is constructed with a solid ABS housing, die‑cast aluminum support arms, and a sweat‑resistant headband—ensuring durability for studio use, touring, and field work.

Flexible Connectivity

A straight 3‑meter cable provides freedom of movement, while the gold‑plated mini‑plug and included 6.3 mm adapter ensure compatibility with both professional and consumer audio equipment.
