WHY MAKE STUDIO HEADPHONES?
For me, sound has always been more than notes. I grew up building guitars, chasing tone, and recording music. But one thing kept bothering me: good music often gets heard through bad headphones. That’s why I wanted to create ellipse™ - a studio headphone that treats sound with the same respect we give our instruments today.
We've made theellipse™ for musicians. Having worked closely with players, artists and musicians for more than 10 years, we have had many chats about what makes good sound.
That is why the ellipse is perfect for the professional in the studio. The semi-pro recording at home. The guitarist working late on ideas, or the producer mixing until morning. If music matters to you, ellipse™ is made for you.
ellipse™ is about truth in sound. Wide, transparent, and detailed. It’s about comfort you can trust in long sessions. It’s about durability — premium materials that last, with parts that can be replaced. And it’s about design: functional, timeless, and true to Baum.
ellipse™ is headphones built for musicians, by musicians.
- Morten Bau
from sketch to studios.
How were they developed? The process took years and a good handful of prototypes to get right.
Studio headphones is something we all use on a daily basis here - from recording and mixing our live sessions, to recoding our guitar tracks - to simply listening to how our favorite music is put together. In other words, we knew what sound and experience we wanted.
We tested drivers, damping systems, ear cup depth, even headband pressure.
We asked musicians, producers, and engineers what they wanted to push every prototype. Their feedback shaped ellipse™ until everyone agreed: this is it.
INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED.
designed for every detail.
ellipse™ uses powerful 50 mm neodymium drivers to deliver a wide 12Hz–40kHz frequency range. The large diaphragm gives you a bigger soundscape, tight low-end control, and detailed highs. With high headroom and transparent response, you hear every nuance when you create music.
clarity through comfort.
The small vents on the back of ellipse™ aren’t decoration. They improve both comfort and sound. By regulating air pressure inside the ear cup, they keep the bass natural and balanced, never muddy. The ports also reduce listening fatigue during long sessions and help stabilise low frequencies, giving you a more accurate and consistent mix.

ellipse™ is padded with soft velour over-ear cushions that feel natural even in long sessions. They isolate your mix while staying light and comfortable so you can keep creating, hour after hour.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 132 reviews.
I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw the offer for complementary headphones with my most recent purchase of the new 5-string bass. After all, i recently purchased Inner ear monitors; and have a pair of decent headphones for practicing at home.
My first use of them, I thought, “oh, they are nice.” But when I swapped out to the other headphones, played a song, then went back to Baum Ellipse, I was blown away!
The tone and clarity is absolutely amazing.
I practice with a Bluetooth amp that plugs into the bass and mixes the song recording. It is difficult at times to hear the bass in the song but with the new Ellipse Studio headphones, my practice is much easier.
Plus, because of the clarity, I can practice at a much lower volume and save my ears as I “jam for the lamb!”
Peter H.5/5Verified
Such a great pair of headphones. I’ve had so much fun listening back to music on them, and they sound amazing for recording guitars. I predominantly use closed-backs when tracking my semi-hollow and hollow-body guitars, to reduce bleed into the cans and to better judge how the sound actually goes down on the track.
Every pair of closed-back headphones I’ve tried before has sounded either unnatural, pushing the music right into your ears, or somewhat harsh.. But not the Baum Guitars Ellipse. These are different. They just sound right.
My Leaper Tone sings through these cans, and so do all my other guitars as well.
While they’re not my first choice for mixing, they make an excellent secondary reference. More importantly, they are amazing for getting really inspired while recording and laying down parts with joy and enthusiasm. They’re not as analytical as my preferred mixing headphones, but that’s where the fun comes in and what makes them so hard to beat.
Marc B.5/5Verified
The best sounding headphones I ever had! The design is also beautiful! Congratulations to the designers! Thank you Baum!
Ferencz Lorand S.5/5Verified
Absolutely thrilled with these, so amazingly crafted and with the guitarist in mind.
These headphones are built to last you a lifetime.
Claus S.5/5Verified
I bought my Ellipse headphones because I was looking for good headphones not only for recording but also for mixing. I'm genuinely impressed. The bass, mids, and highs are well-balanced, and the materials are of very good quality. Furthermore, the dual side connection is a great feature. It's been a very pleasant experience using them, which was expected considering the quality of the Baum instruments. A highly recommended purchase.
Marcelo C.5/5Verified
These headphones are simply wonderful. material, sound, wearing comfort. Thx Baum guitars for this outstanding product
Matthias W.5/5Verified
Die Kopfhörer stechen schon mal aus der Masse hervor, weil sie wirklich schön anzusehen sind. Die Passform ist sehr angenehm. Ich mag den Umstand, dass man sich entschieden hat, 3,5 mm-Buchsen zu verbauen und nicht irgendwelche markenspezifischen Spezialkomponenten. Super Klang! Ich verwende meine Ellipse zum Üben (Gitarre/Bass) am Computer und bin sehr zufrieden ✅
Den Verstellmechanismus hätte man evtl. etwas innovativer gestalten können (Druckknopf o. ä.) - aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau 😉
Christian F.5/5Verified
I waited a long time for these headphones, but it was so worthwhile. They are the best headphones I’ve ever had! They are so comfortable to wear, I had to finish mixing my track and normally after around an hour I have to stop, but I had these beauties on for over 4 hours and it was like wearing nothing on my head and around my ears. The sound quality is devine! Nice bass frequencies with perfect mids and highs giving perfect clarity. I also tried them on Hi-Fi system with vinyl, CD, tape and minidisc and all sounded better than I could ever have imagined. These headphones are totally brilliant and what’s even better, support for spares are available. You just couldn’t get any better.
Gary H.5/5Verified
These Baum headphones are fantastic; they fit perfectly in my recording booth. Kudos for this superb product!
Bertrand B.5/5Verified
Was surprised when Baum announced these, but given my experience with my Wingman I had faith and they don’t disappoint, they’re very well made and feel premium.
They’re super comfortable and most importantly they sound excellent. Perfect for late night jams without annoying the neighbours and help ensure my guitar to sound fantastic!
Chris V.5/5Verified
Great design, very comfy. However, to my ears they are a bit too mid-scooped, for my studio work I prefer flatter.
For casual music listening they are absolutely great, but for that use case I would prefer a Bluetooth option.
Marc R.4/5Verified
Really like them, very comfortable and also feels very well crafted. Funny how you suddenly can hear things in music that you haven’t heard before!
Victor B.5/5Verified
The best headphones I've tried😎
Ole R.5/5Verified
Sublime sound, sublime features (2pers), sublime quality!
Tas P.5/5Verified
I am just geting started in this massive world of digital amps, audio interfaces and recording. One thing I have noticed throughout my research on how to get started is the importance of headphones, since there is no direct sound through the speakers of the amp. A pair of headphones that can replicate that immersive and characteristic sound that amps produce is exactly what I have been looking for. I have looked at other brands in this vast category but, nothing really fits or gives that much wanted sound. When I tried the “Ellipse” at the “Guitar Summit 2025” I immediately felt different. The way the headphones sat on my ears is hard to describe, they encapsulated my ears in a way that didn’t completely shut me off from the rest of the world, but it didn’t need to. As soon as I played the guitar, a Baum strat which I am considering putting on my wish list for Christmas (that’s for another review), I felt it . The sound of the guitar had that character, it was like I was plugged in directly to the guitar. Such a wonderful experience and I hope to encounter more of Baums products in the future.
Anton J.5/5
Extremely comfortable, built very sturdy and a nice sound. What more can you wish for. I don't know why another reviewer said they were quiet. Must be the device he was using. I've listened to music on my mobile phone and only shortly increased the volume to max and it was unbearable loud.
Martin G.5/5
Aesthetic perfection and great sound quality. Want more? How about a unique feature that allows you to connect two pairs of headphones directly? Awesome!!! (Fits perfectly even with ear tunnels 😎)
Oli & Vladi5/5
Beside the style of every Baum item is top notch, their new headphones are just killer —> nice materials, veeery comfy and the sound convinced me. The cherry on top, for rehearsals in more quiet environments, you can connect another (max three?) headphone by simply plug into the first one ( extra out put.
Well done guys!!
Alec V.5/5
The Ellipse headphones from Baum are hands down some of the best headphones I’ve tried in years. Right away, I loved the fact that they come with a dedicated jack connector—such a small but super useful detail. The earcups are closed and lined with velour, which makes them not only comfortable but also great at shutting out background noise. The leather headband feels luxurious, and everything about the design screams “built to last.” Especially the sturdy metal mounts—they’re rare to see these days, and they make the headphones feel extra solid.
But let’s talk about the sound: it’s simply phenomenal. Every track I tested came through with remarkable clarity—vocals are razor-sharp, instruments are distinct, and the overall sound is powerful yet refined. These aren’t just headphones; they’re an experience. If you want gear that feels premium, sounds outstanding, and is designed with care, the Ellipse should be at the very top of your list.
Kendra M.5/5
The Baum Ellipse headphones impress with their thoughtful design and premium build quality. One standout feature is the separate jack input, which adds both flexibility and convenience. The closed-back earcup design, combined with soft velour cushions, ensures excellent comfort for long listening sessions while also isolating sound effectively. The leather-covered headband adds an elegant touch and contributes to the overall durability.
What truly sets these headphones apart is the craftsmanship: the frame feels robust, and the use of metal in the holders—a rarity in this segment—provides a reassuring stability. The sound profile is equally impressive: crystal-clear, detailed, and punchy without being overwhelming. Baum has managed to deliver a pair of headphones that not only look and feel solid but also perform at the highest level. Highly recommended for both audiophiles and casual listeners who value quality.
Gilbert M.5/5
Hi all here 😎
For a big and detailed review I will need my home studio, but just the first impression:
Amazing build quality and Passform for the first. No doubt! Very comfortable, even with the glasses wich I have to wear 👍
I have tested it with some records that I have on my IPhone here and the sound is exactly what I love and looking for. Completely clean and detailed resolution, and what an aspecially like is flat response curve. I like it! Really nice done Baum Team! Top!
Konstantin W.5/5
Excellent workmanship. First-class materials. Extremely comfortable to wear. In a short-term test at the Guitar Summit 2025 with a Thunder bass guitar, optimal performance despite massive ambient noise. Thumbs up.
Jens K.5/5
Ich bin sehr begeistert von diesem Kopfhörer! Ich bin Musiker und brauche einen Kopfhörer, der mir ein stilles Arbeiten ermöglicht, sei es zum Üben oder für Recording - der Ellipse bietet beides und das in einer hervorragenden Qualität! Er sitzt angenehm auf den Ohren und drückt auch nicht am Kopf, selbst wenn ich eine Mütze trage. Er sieht sehr edel aus und ist dennoch robust, das zeugt von großer Fertigungsqualität. Die Funktion ihn mit anderen Kopfhörern über ein 3,5 mm Klinkenkabel zu verbinden, finde ich hervorragend. Er bildet sehr neutral ab und hat dennoch in der räumlichen Abbildung eine klanglich verblüffende Tiefenstaffelung. Er ist nicht ganz billig aber eben auch sehr gut! Ich bin überzeugt!
Christian R.5/5
Baum guitars is perfect & quality! Have Wingman and black Leaper Tone on the way! *****
Peter T.5/5
Was für ein fantastischer Kopfhörer! Er klingt wunderbar transparent und überraschend ausgewogen in allen Frequenzbereichen gerade im Tiefbassbereich ist er klar und differenziert im Klangbild. Die Räumlichkeit ist für einen geschlossenen Kopfhörer erstaunlich. Die Option mehrere Kopfhörer einfach in Reihe zu betreiben finde ich großartig, gerade wenn man unterwegs ist im Tourbus oder im Proberaum. So entsteht ein gemeinsames Musikerlebnis, auch wenn jeder für sich im stillen, die Musik hören kann. Ich bin begeistert.
Josephine G.5/5
Professional sound quality with premium attention to the aesthetics. The direct linking feature in ellipse headphones makes the creative collaboration even more fun and seamless
V+o5/5
Full disclosure, I tested the ellipse headphones in a less than ideal environment with all the noise of the Guitar Summit in the background, so take my words with a grain of salt. But it seems that, no matter what they do, Baum can’t help but built incredible gear. I tested the ellipse with the wonderful bass you can see in the picture above and, boy, was it a wonderful combination! The headphones sounded clear, but not harsh. Full, but never whoolly. And on top of that they look just stunning! And even on this massive head of mine they fit like a glove!
Alexander S.5/5
Really comfortable, even wearing glasses, which I find to be a rather rare thing. And they sound great, going from blues to some more poppy stuff and hardcore, they delivered great sound. I maybe would have liked a little more low end, but all in all I really liked the sound.
Oh and the daisy chaining really is a great idea.
Manuel5/5
Very comfortable! Even for big heads! Nice Sound! Listen to Guitar and Music makes fun!
Tobias5/5
Wonderful feel, as if I were sitting in my parents' living room, on a soft leather seat, surrounded by soft cushions – very classy! The first impression when listening shows that the entire range is reproduced with fine resolution – crisp bass, not muddy but clear – the trebles are delicate, never too intrusive. A very classy piece!
Bjørn M.5/5
Haptik, Sound und Design überzeugen komplett. Die Jungs von Baum waren super interessiert an der Meinung der User, was wirklich sehr angenehm war. Der Sound könnte einen kleinen Tick lauter sein im maximum aber dafür sind die Kopfhörer von vorne bis hinten komplett ausbalanciert, bluetooth wäre auch super geil für den Alltag aber sonst Kopfhörer zum in Gedanken versinken!!
Ole K.5/5
I had a go with those headphones and I Must say that the Sound is spectacular. It is very well balanced, crispy highs up to pumping Basses. They are also very well sealed so that they feel like they are noise canceled. 5/5 from me!
Dominik B.5/5
Very comfortable headphones. After a while I almost forgot I had them on. My ears get hot quickly when wearing closed back headphones, but I didn't have that problem with the ellipse. And to top it off it sounds good too! Could imagine wearing these for guitar recording at home and having a blast.
Tim V.5/5
Holy holy! Never heard something loud, warm and clear… The first wow is when you put them on your haed. This is a sofa for the ears. Very nice job!

Ute H.5/5
I tested this headphone at the Guitar Summit 2025 at the Baum booth and was blown away by the comfort fit, and the sound quality off the bat, even with plenty outside noise in the background the audio was clear, defined and very soothing to the ear. Amazing headphones!
Jonah H.5/5
Great sound. Very comfortable on the ears and i can imagine that even after a long session they are still comfortable
