KRK KNS 8400 Studio Monitoring Headphones - Closed-Back

Gearank Recommendation

The KNS 8400 appeared on our recommended list for Closed Back Headphones Under $200 from September 2017 until February 2020 when it was removed due to being out-ranked by the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 Ohm) and Beyerdynamic DT 150.
