Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MAONO MH700 is a wired, closed-back studio headphone with 50 mm dynamic drivers, listed at £41.64 and sitting at number 8 in this guide. Its listing carries 4,245 Amazon ratings at 4.4 out of 5 — the same star figure as the Shure SRH840A, which has 242 ratings and costs £133. The rating breakdown shown on the page reads 68 five-star against 6 one-star.
Impedance is the number this guide keeps coming back to, and the MH700 states 32 ohm — the same figure as the OneOdio Pro-002, M-Audio HDH40 and Vic Firth SIH3, and a long way from the 250 ohm beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO. It pairs that with a stated 100 dB sensitivity. Two fields on the listing are less useful than they look: Frequency Response reads '20 KHz', which is half of a range rather than a range, and Wireless Technology Type says 'WIRED' directly beneath a Network Connectivity Technology field that already says 'Wired'. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have done.
