Ferrari Calvallino T250 Closed Headphones - Full - Silver Body

Ferrari Calvallino T250 Closed Headphones
($432.00 CDN, Ferrari.com)

These headphones seem made for the ALO Pan Am tubed headphone amplifier, which rounds out the strident imperfection in the replay.

We've mated it with the Calynx Coffee as a set for ergonomic quality although the colour matching between the two units isn't quite proper. The Calvallino has sort of a faux beech tan and steel thing going for it while the Coffee has a rose gold appeal.

When I spell-checked the word Calvallino in Firefox, it comes back as "nonclinical" which perhaps is the proper appeal of the stack. In terms of audio replay, it is somewhere between a bass-head's headphone and a classical concourse.

It's a driving headphone. One that relaxes you with it's muted elegance. Like a proper Ferrari it lacks expense in it's construction. The quality of the headband is not up to it's side-cups, like it had been left out in the sun.

A proper Ferrari owner, like one who has possession of Michael Schumacher's two-time F1 winning car from 2000 and 2001 amongst others, might himself choose to keep it left in Ferrari's care while he is not driving.

Likewise, you might choose not to use the Calvallino as your daily driver, and instead bring it out for proper track day so to call it, use.

The bridge between the audio world and racing one has never been so close.

The strings are wrong, the essence of piano is there and the bass is rather nice.

If we bring this review down to a simple element, the bass is nice with the Nonclinical Nonclinical Calvallino headphone by Ferrari.

Regarding their automobiles,

our favourite is their 430 Scuderia, in blue with white racing stripes. WE ALSO LIKE THEIR DAYTONA SEAT, AS A LISTENING CHAIR for home personal use.
