Head-Direct is pumping out headphone designs at an extraordinary rate. Today we will be taking a look at its newest construction dubbed the HE-300s. These headphones feature a brand new dynamic driver and are design wise very similar to the much more expensive HE-500s.

The new colour does looks quite appealing. The HE-4 didn't wow me with the lifeless midrange, so I wonder if the HE-300 will do a better job.

HE-4 is not that great,

HE-500 on the other hand is awesome, easier to drive than HE-6 with better body on the midrange
