Hugely expensive, hugely talented – but, thankfully, not physically huge. The No. 5909 headphones go quite a long way to justifying the asking price.

So the No. 5909 are a winning combination of comfy memory foam, aromatic leather, and anodised aluminum. They’re compact, comfortable to wear for hours on end, put together flawlessly, and feel as good as they look. In addition, the earpads are replaceable, which makes these headphones even more of a long-term proposition than the price already demands.
