Following is the press release from Armour Home Electronics about some new headphones from Goldring…
”Goldring, who began manufacturing audio products in 1906, is very pleased to announce the release of a new range of high performance headphones. These are the first of a number of new Goldring products to be released this year to mark Goldring’s centenary.
The new Goldring headphone range consists of three models. All are dynamic open back designs, for superior sound staging, and benefit from circum-aural ear cushions for maximum comfort. All boast a 3m detachable signal lead, which is 99.999% Pure Oxygen Free Copper on the DR50 and DR100 models, and silver plated 99.999% POFC on the DR150. Consistent throughout the range are 40mm drivers with neodymium magnets On the DR50 and DR100, these are fitted with Mylar diaphragms, the latter incorporating superior damping and porting. The DR150 benefits from a titanium film diaphragm, which provides faster transients and a wider dynamic range. The impedance for all models is 32 ohms.
There are very distinct sonic improvements as you progress up the range, with each model delivering a more detailed, open, and dynamic sound with lower distortion than the next model down. It is also clear that each model represents outstanding value for money in its own right.
