Hello Head-Fi community,
Being a happy SoundMAGIC HP200 owner, I was quite excited to see the recent VENTO teaser. Thanks to @SoundMAGIC US, @hakushondaimao and I will be kicking off parallel US & Canadian tours for the SoundMAGIC VENTO P55 On-Ear Headphones in December, giving several Head-Fi'ers the chance to try them out and provide valuable feedback for the rest of the Head-Fi community.

DESCRIPTION
SoundMAGIC’s Vento P55 On-Ear Headphone represents the next stage in the evolution of the SoundMAGIC brand. Italian for “wind”, the name Vento was chosen by Head Designer, Tony Xu, to express the control the Vento headphone has over moving air.
With a two year development period, the Vento is the first SoundMAGIC headphone where every single component is manufactured in-house. The proprietary driver has been developed from the ground up by SoundMAGIC’s team of expert engineers, and tweaked to deliver unrivaled precision and a vastly superior sound stage. Using an ultra-thin copper winding imported specially from Japan, the driver is able to deliver an accuracy and clarity that is normally reserved for high-end audiophile headphones.
With a stainless steel headband, aluminum ear cups and soft leather ear pads, the SoundMAGIC Vento is designed to withstand daily use, but comfortable enough for extended listening sessions. The included hard case and traveling pouch offer two options for transporting and storing the Vento P55 headphones.
- Detailed and Accurate Sound – The Vento’s proprietary driver features ultra-thin copper winding for incredible detail retrieval.
- Stylish looks – With a sleek stainless steel headband and brushed aluminum ear cups, the Vento P55 is an understated but beautiful headphone.
- Replaceable cable – The Vento features a replaceable cable, allowing the listener to switch between the included “C” cable that includes a mic and smartphone remote, and the regular cable. With spare cables available to purchase, this feature means that the Vento really is a headphone to keep for life.
- Smartphone compatible – The included “C” cable is compatible with most smartphones and offers call answer, track start/stop, track skip and volume controls.
