For people who prefer real leather pads, these seem to be the moisturized, soft, real sheepskin type, oval shaped and detachable with a similar kind of “slot” mount as a Beyerdynamic. Timber and metal build “quality” come at a cost though: these are heavier than a resin or plastic based headphone from AKG or Sennheiser, or an on-ear portable headphone, but the weight is distributed ok.

If you think a black leather & espresso wood couch sounds comfy, these are the headphone equivalent. Physical AttributesEvoking speakers and furniture, the dark stained wood and black leather upholstery of the Caspian have a design that would fit right in with a handsome bachelors pad.

The Caspian won’t be all things for all people, but it is a passion project for people who want a heavy sound.ĭisclosure: Apos Audio loaned me the Caspian with standard and optional balanced Flow cables at no cost to me, but they did not stipulate for a hype review, also I received no compensation and I have to send the headphones back to them.

A more unique flavor is a bigger risk, but at the right time they can really hit the spot: a summer pistachio ice cream, pumpkin spice latte in the fall, pork chops with a drizzle of bitter dark chocolate sauce and mint leaf garnish, or a pair of Apos Caspian headphones with rock, dubstep, EDM, or smoky, intimate club music. A dish like Fried Rice or American pizza is a lot like a Harmon curve tuned headphone: they are almost always welcome meals in any season, and they can accommodate most ingredients (music) you happen to have in the fridge and still taste good.
