Roland Unveils New VMH-S100 Studio Headphones
Roland has unveiled its latest offering for studio professionals and audiophiles alike: the VMH-S100 full-size studio headphones, priced at $340. Crafted by Roland's dedicated team of audio specialists, these closed-back headphones integrate advanced engineering with user-centric features, setting a new benchmark in studio monitoring.
At the heart of the VMH-S100 are 50-mm drivers, the same high-performance units found in the VMH-D1 V-Drums. This ensures a robust and dynamic sound signature, capable of delivering a wide frequency range from 5 Hz to 40 kHz. With a sensitivity of 104.5 dB and an impedance of 30 Ohms, these headphones are designed to handle a variety of audio sources with clarity and precision.
The closed-back design of the VMH-S100 offers exceptional sound isolation, allowing users to immerse themselves in their work without external distractions. The finely tuned over-ear configuration not only enhances the sound stage but also maintains an open and natural listening experience. This balance is particularly appreciated during long studio sessions, where both comfort and audio fidelity are paramount.
Comfort has been a key focus in the VMH-S100's design. The headphones feature 3D-sewn, replaceable ear pads with a magnetic attachment system, ensuring ease of maintenance and prolonged wearability. The metal frame and sturdy shields provide lasting durability, making these headphones a reliable companion for daily use.
Versatility is further enhanced by the inclusion of two detachable cables (3 meters and 1.5 meters) and a 6.3-mm stereo adapter, catering to various studio setups and preferences. The ability to attach the cable to either ear cup adds a layer of customization, accommodating different workspace configurations.
In addition to the hardware, Roland includes a three-month trial of Roland Cloud Ultimate with the purchase of the VMH-S100. This subscription grants access to a suite of powerful virtual instruments and software, such as GALAXIAS, ZENOLOGY, Legendary series, Zenbeats, and Zentracker, providing users with the tools to elevate their creative projects.
Overall, the VMH-S100 headphones offer a compelling combination of technical excellence, comfort, and versatility, making them a noteworthy addition to any professional studio environment.
