Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sterling Audio’s S402 is a closed-back, over-ear headphone built for studio monitoring and long listening sessions. Its ported 40 mm drivers cover 15 Hz–24 kHz, while the closed earcups help reduce outside-room distractions and studio bleed. Rotate either earcup 90 degrees when you need a one-ear-off monitoring position for singing or DJ work. The S402 also folds for transport, with a removable straight cable secured by a twist lock and snap-on replaceable ear cushions.

Who this is for
- Recording and mixing sessions where closed-back isolation helps reduce room distraction and studio bleed.
