Closed for recording, open for mixing · review
Berlin-designed closed backs with 40 mm (1.57 in) PEEK drivers, a stated 2 Hz – 23.5 kHz response and 112.5 dB SPL, plus a Headphone Utility plug-in with crossfeed for the DAW.
What it amounts to The mixing-minded pair in this group, and the only one that arrives with software written for itself.
ADAM Audio is better known for monitors, and the H200 reads like headphones designed by a company that thinks in terms of monitoring rather than listening.
The specification is published in full: 40 mm (1.57 in) PEEK drivers, 2 Hz to 23.5 kHz, 112.5 dB SPL. What is more unusual is the Headphone Utility plug-in, which ADAM developed for this model and which includes crossfeed — a way of making a headphone stereo image behave a little more like two speakers in a room, so that long mixing sessions are less fatiguing and pan decisions travel better.
The physical details are the kind that only matter after a month. The three-meter cable can be plugged into either earcup, which decides how it hangs on a desk. Both the 3.5 mm (0.14 in) plug and the 6.35 mm (0.25 in) adapter are in the box, so the pair is usable on a laptop and on an interface without a trip to a shop. Memory-foam pads and an aluminum yoke handle the rest.
ADAM does not publish an impedance figure in this listing, and this page does not invent one.

Same section, nearest price — what the same money else sounds like.
Headphones send each channel to one ear only, which never happens with speakers in a room. Crossfeed bleeds a little of each channel into the other to imitate that. ADAM supplies a plug-in built for this model to do it.
The supplied cable terminates in 3.5 mm with a 6.35 mm (0.25 in) adapter included, so it fits both a laptop and the larger socket on an interface — the adapter is the part people discover missing at the wrong moment.

Closed back · 50 mm (1.97 in) drivers · 32 ohms · foldable
AKG’s closed-back reference: 50 mm (1.97 in) drivers, 32 ohms and a stated 114 dB SPL/V sensitivity, tuned towards the AKG Reference Response curve. Low impedance, so it also works from a laptop.
Best for: One pair for recording and for checking a mix, driven from an interface or a laptop.
≈ $190
Closed back · 40 mm (1.57 in) drivers · low impedance
The cheapest way into closed-back monitoring here. AKG states 40 mm (1.57 in) drivers, a low impedance chosen so phones and interfaces can drive it, and replaceable earpads at a price where that is unusual.
Best for: A second pair, a practice pair, or a first pair on a strict budget.
≈ $70
40 mm (1.57 in) drivers · rare-earth magnets · copper-clad aluminum voice coils · collapsible
The only American listing here to name what its voice coils are made of — copper-clad aluminum wire over rare-earth magnets — in a collapsible closed-back with a single-side cable exit.
Best for: Tracking and everyday monitoring where isolation matters and the pair will be folded into a bag.
