This one didn’t quite make it in<strong>to</strong> a category, but<br />
it is the BEST WIRELESS headphone for classical/<br />
orchestral music.<br />
This is the best orchestra blue <strong>to</strong>oth headphone<br />
that is over-the-ear and closed-back. Other headphones<br />
of this type tend <strong>to</strong> be sort of heavy. These<br />
are more audiophile headphones. They have great<br />
battery life. People love it. If you want, you can use<br />
it with the wire with volume control adjustment.<br />

Cons: Some cus<strong>to</strong>mer say that it does not do a<br />
good job of blocking ambient noise. Only one device<br />
can be paired at a time which makes it inconvenient<br />
when using, for example, a computer with a<br />
phone. The mic is not open, so it makes it difficult <strong>to</strong><br />
hear your own voice when talking over the phone.<br />
Over-the-ear and closed-back, this headphone is<br />
actually lighter than similar headphones and has<br />
great battery life. If you want, you can use it corded<br />
with volume control adjustment.<br />
STANCE S1+ will surely liberate you<br />
from the tyranny of cords. Add <strong>to</strong> that<br />
freedom from the misery of recharges,<br />
as well as down time. This is all<br />
thanks <strong>to</strong> lnstantOn—the industry’s<br />
only AAA-battery backup and power<br />
source. It works with the internal<br />
battery for up <strong>to</strong> 30 hours of wireless<br />
playback. And it also lets you power<br />
up instantly when out of juice. Or listen<br />
<strong>to</strong> audio for days on end, without<br />
going near an AC plug. Just pop in a<br />
couple of fresh AAAs, and you’ll be<br />
instantly up and running again. And<br />
again. That’s really something no<br />
other wireless headphone can offer.<br />
That’s what true freedom is.<br />
This isn’t just a high-end, wireless<br />
headphone. It’s four headphones in<br />
one. There’s Wireless Mode, which<br />
puts high-fidelity listening on the<br />
move. Amplified Mode, for a sonic experience<br />
that’s literally a blast. Wired<br />
Mode, for reference-quality mixing,<br />
latency-free recording, and battery<br />
conservation. And Phone Mode,<br />
which hooks you up with sealed listening<br />
quality, and a noise-reducing<br />
mic. All <strong>to</strong> made sure STANCE S1+<br />
can adapt <strong>to</strong> wherever you go, and<br />
however you want <strong>to</strong> listen.<br />
At PENDULUMIC, our design process<br />
starts at the end — with the human<br />
using our innovations. This is why we<br />
tested the ear types and head sizes<br />
of over 500 people before designing<br />
the natural-feeling ear cups and<br />
comfortable frame of STANCE S1+.<br />
It’s also why we chose our analog<br />
PENDULUMIC Dial – after observing<br />
how effortless and intiutive it was,<br />
as opposed <strong>to</strong> the electronic but<strong>to</strong>ns<br />
used in other products. It’s designed<br />
for simplicity. That’s what makes the<br />
user experience of STANCE S1+ as<br />
familiar and effortless as it can get.
