Ultimate <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong> <strong>Headphones</strong> 19<br />

Bonus Pendulumic<br />

Stance S1+<br />

$199<br />

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 />

From the<br />

Pendulumic<br />

website<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.
