Mark Levinson’s high-end No. 5909 headphones not only blew us away with a stunning five-star performance, they also showed what a true high-end wireless pair of headphones could sound like, offering as close to a solid wired performance as we’ve got heard so far.
Last week we found a useful one £100 off Amazon on these headphones only for the red finish, but one of our eagle-eyed readers helpfully pointed us to a much better deal on Doug Brady HiFi, with discounts on all three finishes for the headphones.
Yes, these are very expensive headphones with a great RRP of £999, which makes this deal at Doug Brady HiFi all the more attractive. It offers even greater savings, with all three finishes (radiant red, ice tin, black pearl) available for £849 straight away.
That’s a saving of €150! We think that’s a pretty juicy deal, even if that still means these premium headphones cost over £800. But hey, a deal is a deal, right?
While other premium wireless ANC headphones have appeared in the last year – Focal Bathys, Bowers & Wilkins Px8 – the Mark Levinson No. 5909 are still the class leaders in this high-end category.
These headphones offer a leap in outright sound quality that more than justifies the nearly £1000 price tag and far exceeds its rivals. The basic on-ear controls are our only gripe in a well-thought-out product, from the incredibly comfortable fit and custom ANC levels in the app to the inclusion of higher-quality codecs. Even the active noise canceling is decent here, but the sound quality excels. Sparkling clarity, impressive detail, wonderfully subtle dynamics and a way to organize even the most complex musical arrangements that sounds exciting, authentic and so composed. It really is an exceptional pair of wireless headphones.
So if you’re looking for some seriously high-quality headphones that sound great and offer all the comforts of noise canceling and Bluetooth streaming then these are definitely worth considering. And with £150 off the top price, it may be even more tempting to buy now.
