Slovenian headphone maker Erzetich has built its reputation on open-back designs. With the Erzetich Pan, the company now introduces its first fully closed-back headphone. It uses two dynamic drivers in each ear cup and costs €1,700.
It is designed for listeners who want isolation from their surroundings.
Erzetich Pan: two drivers per ear cup
Each ear cup of the Erzetich Pan holds two 40 mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers. Using two drivers gives a larger total driver surface. Erzetich describes the sound as relaxed, balanced and finely detailed.
In the Erzetich range, the Pan sits between the Mania V2021 and the Phobos 4. It is also easy to drive, so it works well with portable players.
Resin, aluminium and carbon
The ear cups are made from resin and aluminium, and the headband is carbon fibre. The ear pads are covered in leatherette, and a rubber-like strap rests on your head. Erzetich uses no animal products, and the headphone is made in the EU.
Built to last
The Pan is completely serviceable and comes with a two-year limited warranty. Every unit gets a 12-hour burn-in before it leaves the workshop. The detachable cable uses connectors similar to those of other big manufacturers, which makes it easy to upgrade.
From open to closed
Readers who know the brand may remember our Erzetich Perfidus review. With the Erzetich Pan, the company now offers a closed alternative for listeners who need isolation, for example at work or when travelling.
Pricing and availability
The Erzetich Pan costs €1,700. It is available through the Erzetich online shop and dealers. More information is on the Erzetich website.
