Red PVC shielding means warning, because prepare to be impressed right out of the gate by PW Audio with Ignis. This is an entry-level copper cable that gets so much right. Neutral U-shaped with a sub-bass boost, tons of midrange space for vocals that breathe, and a pinch of sparkle at the very top, Ignis offers its candidacy to improve any IEM – even a flagship one.  Clean to a fault, with a deep sense of inner resolution, Ignis simultaneously locks down on any runaway frequencies yet fleshes out the presentation of your music, always making it sound natural. Its solid PVC build and confidence-inspiring plugs surpass expectations at its price, but you can still step up the design of Ignis to OCC copper on its bigger brother Moloch here.

After the brilliance of beryllium, Focal's next rabbit out of the hat is magnesium magic, with the launch of Clear MG. Its predecessor Clear needs no introduction to the modern hobbyist for a perceivably flat response and excellent dynamic qualities. But Focal have found a way to improve on that performance yet with Clear MG, with a drastically increased portrayal of head space, and sub-bass that plunges deeper into the abyss. [See Product Desc. For More] It immediately gets a coveted 'Applause Award' from StereoNET as an all-rounder "with impeccable timing and excellent dynamics, but its sense of space is where it really shines" – imagine that. The same publication elected it Best Over-Ear Headphone in its Products of the Year shortlist 2021. Headfonia reckon our favourite French "have gone and made one of the most instantly easy-to-love high-end headphones with their all-new model" – TechHive similarly awarded it their Editor's Choice gong and a 5 ⭐ ranking from What Hi-Fi? followed soon after. Headphonesty states Clear MG closes in on perfection. Everything's made possible by sporting Focal's famous M-shaped driver with a new magnesium dome for the perfect lightness, rigidity and damping.  By being even lighter than beryllium, together with a driver suspension that's super pliant and a magnet that can produce more than one tesla of force, this magnesium grants Clear MG transient speed and detail without harshness. Built to be extremely pistonic in motion, the potential travel of the driver gives Clear MG's bass great low-frequency presence, speed and dynamics. These are traits that remain as frequencies rise. Focal's humble 40mm driver dimensions and the superb damping qualities of magnesium means movement stays pistonic and doesn't deteriorate into harsh modal break-up up top. Treble detail stays inherently warm and natural. Clear MG's portrayal of air and soundstage is aided by a M-shaped honeycomb grille protecting the correspondingly built driver that's exceptionally open. Air exits the back of the cups via bigger, smoother passages, with enlarged grills inside and outside. Tuned linear in the continued tradition of Clear, with a slight tint of refined warmth, Clear MG continues to be Head-Fi's reference where ever you listen. T3 say "very few headphones make it so enjoyable to get lost in your music". HIFI Trends praised the "masterful" MG for "speaker-like vibrancy and fireworks". An included 4-pin XLR cable completes the package for pairing with your desktop set-ups, while a Focal carrying case, 3.5mm jack and 55ohm portable friendliness takes care of you from a music player on your travels. Perfect candidates for the latter are Cayin Audio's RU7, HiBy Music's R6 III, R6 Pro II and R8II, plus iBasso Audio's DC07 Pro and DX180. To upgrade further, consider iBasso Audio's 4.4mm CB17 silver-plated copper cable. Also check out the rest of Focal's line here, or our other headphones here.

The mastery of beryllium as a driver material in the Vérité underlined ZMF Headphones' credentials as an elite headphone manufacturer. With the advantages of one of audio's most coveted materials at hand, ZMF set out to build a statement flagship with all the speed, transparency, scale and dynamics in the world. Reference lovers, rejoice! [See Product Desc. For More] Its driver starts with a sandwich driver core of softer plastic PEN for effective damping at higher frequencies, this surface being coated with beryllium for the metal's stiffness, lightness and air acceleration properties.  That means Vérité's driver moves as a perfect piston over all frequencies up to and above its working range, keeping distortion down due to cone and modal break-up. Audiophile Style compared the open version against its closed brethren, publishing a comprehensive study complete with measurements to conclude "they're as good as anything on the market today" and what "ZMF have achieved with the Vérité is truly remarkable ... whether ZMF wanted to create a headphone that could comfortably go head-to-head with Focal's Utopia, he succeeded". Stereophile's Herb Reichert says the "Vérités come closer to [Sony's] MDR-R10s in basic sonic character than any other headphones I've auditioned ... may even exceed Sony's cult classics in their illusion of speed and transparency".

There is a quiet confidence in Phonix's final rendition: a smooth elegance that showed class and weight of a veteran in the industry, one that continues to listen and stay relevant. This is a masterclass in building a flagship.  Thank you, Oliver Marino. "Powerful yet refined. Controlled yet emotional. A sound signature that honours the legacy of the PHöNIX while revealing it in a deeply considered form. The final expression of a truly iconic sound signature – refined in its structure, mature in its control, and unmistakable in its character."  The voicing and space is mesmerising. The notes are hanging and present, the sub-bass rumbles without aggression but grave in its warning. The mids are sweet, enchanting, and the highs glide over with gentleness, without weakness. Reimagined from within, the acoustic design has been comprehensively refined for the Final Edition to bring greater focus, depth and expression to the experience, resulting in a presentation that feels more resolved and deliberate.At its core lies a completely new crossover, a newly tuned driver configuration, and four newly implemented low-frequency drivers based on a more modern generation.Built around a meticulously refined acoustic concept, combining 13 balanced armature drivers with a newly reworked 5-way crossover and an updated tuning philosophy. The result is a presentation of remarkable balance and expression: Sub-bass reaches deeper, adding weight, extension and authority to the presentation, while the low mids and upper bass have been carefully rebalanced to create a more open, controlled and articulate overall image.  Compared to the PHöNIX Original Edition, the Final Edition drops pitch in the low end. It breathes more space, holds better structure and is cleaner with improved separation. Compared to the PHöNIX Limited Edition, it goes one step further: Sub-bass authority and physicality improves, sense of space and air is more visceral and eases effortlessly into a natural flow despite higher technical performance. // THE CABLE Premium 22AWG cable using VE's own custom-developed 7N ultra-pure single crystal copper to deliver a rich, highly musical, and naturally analog sound signature. Sonically, the cable delivers deep and authoritative bass, rich and refined mids, dense and emotional vocals, and smooth, extended highs with remarkable clarity and natural harmonic brilliance. // SPECIFICATIONS+ 13-Driver, 5-way system: 4x Bass driver, 4x Bass/Mids driver, 2x Mids driver, 2x Mids/Highs driver, 1x Superhighs Driver+ Impedance: 10 Ohms @ 1kHz+ Sensitivity: 114.6dB SPL @ 1kHz with 100mV input
