Planar Vs Dynamic Headphones

Dynamic drivers are a great option for headphones that can create many different sound profiles. These headphones utilize a voice coil and magnetic windings that move back and forth to cause the diaphragm of a speaker to vibrate.

This produces a spherical front of sound that better represents audio. This can cause distortion at higher levels of volume.

Cost

Dynamic drivers are easy to make and inexpensive. They're essentially composed of a wire (the voice coil) wrapped around a diaphragm made of plastic that's put into a magnetic enclosure, and they vibrate in response to the electric signals sent by your audio source. They use less energy than electrostatic or planar headphones. In turn, this means they're more compact and more convenient to use while on the move. Planar magnetic headphones, however, have much more complex motor systems and massive diaphragms that require larger - or even multiple - magnets to move. They are more expensive and heavier than dynamic headphones. They also consume more power to operate, which is why most headphones with planar technology require an external amplifier for best results.

Bass Response

A key difference between dynamic and planar headphones is bass response. Planar drivers provide superior linearity, with a greater depth of bass extension and less distortion than dynamic headphones. They also provide a more precise image and better clarity. They may not have the same power and slam as dynamic headphones. This has led to hybrid IEMs, which use two kinds of drivers. These IEMs can provide the best of both worlds, and can satisfy a wide range of listening preferences.

Dynamic drivers are employed in headphones to transmit sound vibrations using a coil of wire suspended by a membrane. The magnetic field generated by the coil triggers the diaphragm to vibrate, resulting in the sounds that we hear. This can cause distortion at lower frequencies due to the diaphragm's movement isn't precise and consistent. This is why it is crucial to take into consideration your individual listening preferences and listening environment before deciding which kind of headphone is right for you.

The distortion of planar headphones has been reduced significantly because the vibrations have become more uniform and the diaphragm is moving less. Additionally the flat shape of the diaphragm allows it to respond more quickly to changes in the input signal. This is particularly true for the high-frequency frequencies. In this case, planar magnetic headphones deliver a more precise sound with greater clarity.

Dynamic headphones have a longer history than planar magnetic headphones and are the industry standard for bass response. In the past, dynamic driver headphones had an unidirectional frequency response all the way down to 20Hz, whereas planar magnetic headphones had more of a roll-off in this range. However technology has improved, many planar headphones have a full-range bass response that is comparable to high-end dynamic driver headphones.

The NAN-7 is an example of a top-end planar magnetic earbuds that has an impressive bass and impact. Its bass is quick and tight, with an excellent sub-bass slam. Its ability to provide a strong, authoritative sense of bass sound and awe makes it the perfect instrument for orchestral works such as the opening climax of Richard Strauss's opera Aleksandr Solti's "Alsosprach Zarathustra". The NAN-7 also stands out for its imaging capabilities.

Soundstage

Typically, planar headphones offer better soundstage. The diaphragm could be larger and planar headphones move more evenly. This can result in a flat, wide soundwave, which improves clarity and image. This is most noticeable on high-end headphones such as the Audeze LCD-4 and HiFiMAN Susvara. However it can also be seen on cheaper alternatives.

In contrast to dynamic drivers, which only vibrate the portion of the diaphragm that is attached to the voice coil The planar magnetic headphones have a larger surface area that can be moved by the electrical signal, which means they have less distortion at higher volume. They also have a better transient response. This means that they can handle fast changes in the input signal.

It is important to keep in mind that planar headphones can have a smaller soundstage if they're not properly driven. A lack of power in the headphone amplifier may result in the bass becoming muddy or a "shimmer" effect, which could make listening to music less enjoyable.

Another aspect to consider is that headphones with dynamic drivers tend to have a more natural sound than the planar ones due to the fact that they reproduce the frequency response and timbre of original audio recording better. The dynamic of the driver is also more realistic and natural than the 'plucked' sound of planar magnetic earbuds headphones. This is a difference that can be masked by a quality headphone amplifier and some of the latest headphones, like the Oppo PM-3 and HiFiMAN HE1000SE, have a better punch than their predecessors. The reason for this is because the drivers are more sophisticated and can be driven by more powerful headphone amplifiers.

Comfort

In recent years, planar magnetic headphones are gaining popularity. This isn't surprising because they deliver more accurate sound. They are usually heavier and more expensive than dynamic headphones. This is due to the fact that they have a larger driver and require more power to evenly move them. This is why they require balanced outputs that are found on the majority of DAPs and dongles. They also tend to leak sound more than dynamic drivers.
