ADL H118 - Pros & Cons

H118's bright tilt and well-mannered midrange
bass is enhanced
with good extension and strong punch
cups are deep and have good freedom of motion
plastics with a textured finish in places and feels very solid
A nice hard-shell carrying case is also included
The DNA Pro is also more efficient than the H118
the connector design and build of the cable were first rate

difficult to tolerate for more than an hour or so
not annoyingly thin as it does with a lot of headphones
Ergonomics are not quite as mainstream as the look
bass is tight
treble sounds a little smeared compared to the ADL set
lacks a large amount of treble energy
sounding warmer and darker
the stock cord is not designed for portable use
lacks refinement in both the bass and the midrange

Review: Alpha Design Labs ADL H118

When Furutech launched their consumer-oriented Alpha Design Labs line in 2011 with the GT40 USB DAC/phono stage, it was clear that the company - which has long had a solid reputation among old-school audiophiles as a manufacturer of interconnects, power supply components, and connectors - was making a serious commitment to serving the new breed of personal-audio enthusiast, without abandoning the gear-and-gadgetry enthusiasts who'd been the company's core fans so far.
