This is a planar magnetic over-ear open back headphone that comes in right at around $350. So let's take a look. This review unit was sourced through ...

I am so glad I have chosen this as my daily driver. The Stellia is so universal, covers everything, asks for nothing. So much less temperamental than Utopia with treble.

Also these are some of the most open headphones ever. If you can hear your music someone 10 feet away can as well. As far as comfort goes they aren't the worst for me. Their pads are scratchy and slightly small, while the headband is just fine

iThe Stellia has such a good deal of passively canceling noise I can't even hear my typing on the keyboard whit them on. I become so engrossed in the music I am listening to, that my wife scares the heck out of me when she walks into my office room yelling my name and I see her before I hear her. That is why I believe everyone that becomes seriously engaged in this wonderful but potentially expensive audio hobby will want an open back and a closed-back pair of headphones. Which one you buy first depends on your priorities- solitary listening with canceling outside sounds or you may want to hear when someone calls out your name or want to hear the phone or doorbell

I’ve had no issues with “build quality” at all. Nothing has loosened and there are no “glued on” parts falling off. The non-swiveling cans are a non-issue to me. I’m using these to listen to music without waking someone down the hall or next door, not to be a DJ in a club somewhere
