The Korena take

Sterling Audio’s S452 pairs closed-back, over-ear isolation with studio-focused monitoring features in a foldable headphone. Its 45 mm drivers sit in ported enclosures and cover a 15 Hz–28 kHz frequency range. The ear cups rotate 180 degrees for one-ear-off monitoring, useful when you need to hear a second signal or your voice in the room. A padded leather headband and cushions support long sessions, while the removable 8-foot cable twist-locks in place and can be replaced separately from the headphones.
