Audio-Technica's ATH-ESW990H headphones' 42 mm drivers produce a wide frequency response, while their sycamore enclosures help deliver articulate high-mids.

Featuring wood housings crafted from sycamore, a wood traditionally used in constructing high-grade string instruments, and 42 mm drivers with specially coated diaphragms, Audio-Technica ATH-ESW990H portable on-ear headphones deliver high-resolution audio with an amazing purity of sound in the mid to high frequencies.

I bought these to use with my iPad when composing music. I think these headphones are actually intended for the consumer market, but they sound better than my AKG studio headphones. They are also much louder than my AKGs.
