Nakamichi Elite Pro P800J Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones With 80mm Driver and Studio-Grade Shielded Cable
Nakamichi launches the Elite Pro P800J on February 27, an open-back wired headphone with an 80mm planar magnetic driver, priced around ¥142,220 for home use.
The design rejects portable-focused compromises, adopting studio-grade noise suppression using a 3-core shielded cable and 4.4mm 5-pole plug with dedicated GND.
A 4N OFC 1.3m cable with mini-XLR connectors physically blocks RFI/EMI noise, dramatically improving perceived silence and “blackness” in the audio background.
