The closed-back Audeze EL-8 offers all the benefits of the open-back Audeze EL-8 — flexible, lightweight and loaded with new technology — while isolating the listener and reducing ambient noise as no sound escapes the earcups.
The Audeze EL-8 closed-back headphone is also sensitive enough to be driven directly by portable players and smartphones, but an external amplifier produces better results. They’re built with superb craftsmanship, wood veneer accents and enormous attention to detail.
