“Overall, the Acoustic Research AR-H1 is a prime example of planar technology and efficiency. At some point the voicing of these headphones is noticeably not flat. Being so, it lends itself more towards music record in the last 40 years more than anything prior. Where the AR-H1 shines best however is with modern pop, EDM, and alternative rock recordings from the last 20 years. The AR-H1’s voicing delivers an almost night club experience with genres like rap, hip-hop, house, techno, etc. Also of note, is how the AR-H1 is the only open back headphone I would recommend for travel as it’s voicing proclivity lends itself to podcasts and highlighted detail where information more than balance is priority. For home listening, there are better sounding headphones than the AR-H1, but none that I can think of are as comfortable, efficient, and detailed for the money. The AR-H1 in my mind is ideal for those who want a flexible audiophile headphone that offers stunning amounts of detail across a wide compatibility of sources and amplified devices. If toting around portable headphone amplifiers, dacs and extra cables isn’t your thing, the AR-H1 should be on your short list.”
