KRK unveil KNS series headphones

Having nailed their studio monitor range, KRK have unveiled a range of professional headphones which promise to deliver their famed listening experience straight to the ears.

According to the accompanying press guff, the 6400 model aims to replicate and isolate the monitor sound in a closed environment, minimising leakage and providing a reference standard signal unaffected by location.

The headphones are due for release on December 1. The 6400’s will be priced at £84.99 while the 8400’s will cost £129.99.
