Neodymium drivers and Alcantra ear pads
The SRH1540 utilizes 40 mm, high-output neodymium drivers, which provide an expansive soundstage with clear, extended highs and warm bass. Developed with aluminum alloy and carbon fiber construction, the lightweight and durable design also features Alcantara ear pads for maximum sound isolation and comfort. Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, which provide increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of Alcantra is much like that of suede.
APTIV high-performance thermoplastic film
A product of Victrex, a company with cutting-edge polymeric solutions, APTIV is a thin thermoplastic film that delivers outstanding durability and reliability, with a 300% improvement in speaker lifetime. It increases output power in micro electro-acoustic devices, such as headphones, and maintain excellent acoustic properties. APTIV allows the optimization of resonant frequency, while minimizing harmonic distortion. It also allows the design of custom speaker diaphragms, and reduces failures by providing the ability to design waterproof micro-speakers.
The SRH1540 comes with a storage case, replacement set of Alcantara ear pads, replacement cable, and threaded adapter, to ensure years of uninterrupted tracking, mixing, or listening.
