Mark Levinson No. 5909 Headphones (OPEN)

Premium, high-resolution, over-the-ear, wireless adaptive active noise-canceling headphone with beryllium drivers and luxurious leather 

Experience the first-ever headphones from Mark Levinson, a pioneer in high-fidelity audio for the past 50 years. Reference-quality sound meets luxurious comfort in a lightweight and durable set of headphones featuring Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that’s perfect for travel. 

Crafted from Premium Materials

Combining high-fidelity sound, comfort, and beautiful design in mind, the № 5909 is constructed from premium materials including core aluminum components, a leather headband, and replaceable leather ear cushions.  They offer up to 34 hours of playback time (30 hours with Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation turned on). Durable and lightweight for travel, the headphone comes with an accompanying hard-shell travel case, cables, and adaptors.

 

 

The № 5909 delivers reference-quality sound via 40 mm beryllium-coated drivers that have been expertly tuned to the HARMAN Curve and designed by the same world-class sound engineers behind Mark Levinson’s renowned amplifiers, turntables, and streaming players. Audio performance meets the stringent standards for Hi-Res Audio certification indicating the inclusion of the LDAC audio codec, digital circuitry compatible with 24-bit/96kHz processing, and acoustic response out to 40 kHz. This ensures near-perfect linearity in the audio band.

Extra Features to Go Places

In addition to high-fidelity audio, the headphone is packed with features that music lovers on-the-go will appreciate, including high-resolution wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1 with LDAC, AAC, and aptX™ Adaptive technologies, a four-microphone array with Smart Wind Adaption for crystal clear phone calls, Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation with three modes for premium sound isolation, and a selectable Ambient Aware mode for situational awareness.

 

 

Along with the hard-shell travel case, a complete assortment of cables and accessories is provided including a 1.25 m USB-C charging cable, a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, 1.25 m and 4 m USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cables, a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm audio adaptor, an airplane audio adaptor, and a microfiber polishing cloth.
