The legendary keyboardist, piano player, singer, songwriter and producer known for his collaborations with Gil Scott Heron in the 70s Brian Jackson in the studio recently with the PHONON SMB-02 recording with the Masters At Works for an album project! Check out his brand new album “This is Brian Jackson” which just came out on BBE Music. A big thank you and congratulations to Louie Vega who also released his new album “Expansions in the NYC”!
A great review of the SMB-01L in the February 2022 709 issue of the n°1 French-speaking monthly magazine for classical music and hi-fi, Diapason! “The love of classical music, the passion of excellence”.
Musical contribution 5/5 Interest 5/5
“…although the music lover is not confronted with the same concern, he will appreciate a linear and extended response, a good neutrality and a sufficient transparency, the whole without excessive fatigue. The SMB-01 L was objectively designed with this in mind and, as such, it is not a demonstrative headphone. Neutral is the best word for it, while not cheating on tonal color and dynamics. The bass level is consistent without being excessive and the midrange is very well articulated, just that the SMB-01L appears more reserved in immediate comparison with more chiseled headphones.”
“Enough to put the SMB-01L in the category of “sustainable music investment”.”
The long-awaited legitimate successor SMB-02G is finally released. Nomex, a material used in high-end speakers, is used in the recoil version to greatly enhance sound quality. The cable, which used to be directly attached, has been changed to a detachable type for improved ease of use. The new model has achieved reliable performance as a monitor headphone.
Mr. Ohnaka of STYLUS has compiled an article on the past evaluations and achievements of the SMB-01L, which has accumulated sensational results since its launch and gained recognition in many countries. Please check it out. We are very happy to have received a lot of positive feedback from our customers.

I was wondering if I should use a better amp or a more expensive mic, but this one was the answer.
It’s just like when you put a microphone through it.
I’m sure you’ll understand when you stick it in and sing.

It’s the best partner
It’s a great companion.
It’s a great product. ❣️Thank you .
I am a recording engineer and I use Messenger for my powered speakers.
It is different from the many cables I have used in the past.
They deliver the original detail without any exaggeration.
Even when I’m mixing, I can clearly see the position of the pan, equalization and compressor.
I can now see the position of the PAN, equalization and compressor.
This is a cable that I can’t live without, as it raises the grade of my studio without making me aware of its existence.
I’ve been asking Mr. Kumano, an engineer at PHONON and one of the leading mastering engineers in Japan, to master my albums for the past five years.
The first time I used the SMB-01L as headphones for checking in the studio, I was curious about them ever since, and I installed them in 2022. I thought the idea of using headphones to achieve studio large monitor sound was very typical of Mr. Kumano, who is both a craftsman and an artist.
When I let my friends try them out, they all said they couldn’t help but laugh.
I’ve been using them with the plates changed to open type, and I had a strange illusion that I had to take off my headphones to check if the sound was coming from the outside speakers at the same time, even though it was only coming from inside my ears.
This is a very enthusiastic piece of gear that gives you a euphoric feeling that cannot be explained in words, not only for music production but also for listening.
