Shinola Canfield over-ear headphones review

The Canfield are luxurious headphones
Shinola’s $595 Canfield headphones are designed, assembled, and tested in Detroit. Most of the components inside them, however, are manufactured overseas. The Canfield display meticulous attention to detail. My review pair came in the company’s cognac shade, though you can opt for black and silver or gloss black. Gloss black carries a $55 premium.

These headphones feel like a luxury product, a factor that helps them sell at high-end retailers such as Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales. Their build quality is reminiscent of the classic American spirit of well made and built to last—a motto the company displays on some of its other products, including its wristwatches. The Canfield are made of stainless steel with alternating brushed and mirror finishes. They're gorgeous, without a hint of plastic on any critical component.

The Canfield are wrapped in luxurious, high-quality leather that Shinola sources from Chicago’s Horween Leather Company. You’ll immediately note that you’re purchasing a crafted piece of audio gear, not simply another pair of headphones.

The magnetic, memory-foam ear cups are covered in soft lambskin that feels great against your skin. The magnetic ear cups snap into place perfectly. Be warned, however, that the ear cups fall off when enough force is applied. If you’re accustomed to packing your headphones in a backpack, you’ll find occasions when you pull them out sans ear cups. It happened to me. In my book, B&W’s headphones are the goldilocks standard for how magnetic ear cups should be designed.

Two shades of top-grain leather envelop the cushioned headband, which Shinola says gets more comfortable over time.
