Orthodynamic (or planar magnetic) headphones are celebrated for their lightning-fast transient response, incredibly low distortion, and exceptionally flat bass extension. However, like all headphones, they face a fundamental psychoacoustic challenge: replicating the natural resonance of the human ear, specifically the pinna gain, to achieve a natural and realistic tonal balance.
