HELM Audio’s flagship over ear headphones, the HELM Studio Planar Headphones, use custom designed drivers that are rectangular (most are round) with silver coiling, the highest conductive metal - an industry first. The drivers measure 66mm (most are 50mm) and the rectangular design flexes more evenly than both round planar and dynamic drivers minimizing distortion and delayed resonance while increasing accuracy and phase coherence.
