Our take

 

The most even-handed set UM has made. Three bone conduction drivers work alongside the dynamic, balanced armature and electrostatic drivers to push the stage wider, deeper and taller than the driver count alone suggests.

The zirconia ceramic shell is denser than resin or metal, which keeps the housing itself from adding anything of its own. This is a flagship that shows you the recording rather than flattering it.

Build: High-density zirconia ceramic shells in matte black; dense in the hand and quieter than resin.

Comfort: Relaxed rather than tight; the shells run large, so check your fit before committing.

The specs:
Drivers: 10 drivers: 1DD + 4BA + 2EST + 3
bone conduction (2 composite BA + 1
piezoelectric)
Impedance: 12.6 Ω
Sensitivity: 106 dB @ 1 kHz
