From the makers of one of the world's best selling ranges of monitors, the KRK KNS 8400 headphones are designed for prolonged professional studio use and are unlike other headphones in that KRK have deliberately voiced them in such a way that you get more of the "open" sound of a pair of monitors and less of the unnatural "closeness" that often clouds the judgement of engineers mixing on headphones.
Thanks to their unrivalled comfort and their ability to deliver accurate sound with all the details intact, we have no doubt that you will begin to run into KRK KNS 8400 headphones in an increasing number of professional studios.
