Erzetich Introduces Pan: A New Approach to High-End Closed-Back Headphones
Slovenian high-end audio, Erzetich Audio, has just launched their new Pan closed-back headphones. Here are the details, taken from Erzetich’s press release:
Nova Gorica, Slovenia—November 2026 Erzetich Introduces Pan: A New Approach to High-End Closed-Back Headphones.
Combining an unusual dual-driver architecture with Erzetich’s distinctive approach to sound reproduction, Pan brings a new dimension to closed-back listening.
Erzetich Audio introduces Pan, its first fully closed-back headphone. Designed for listeners who value both sonic refinement and effective isolation, Pan aims to deliver an immersive listening experience without the compromises traditionally associated with closed-back headphone designs.
Creating a truly high-performing closed-back headphone presents particular engineering challenges. The enclosed space inside the ear cups can introduce unwanted reflections, resonances, and reverberation, potentially affecting the natural presentation of music.
“Pan has been one of our most demanding headphone projects to date. Designing a high-quality closed-back headphone is far from straightforward, as the enclosed acoustic space introduces challenges that are not present in open-back designs. This pushed us to explore alternative approaches, eventually leading us to an unusual solution: a dual dynamic-driver configuration.”—Blaž Erzetič, Founder and Head Designer, Erzetich Audio.
A Dual-Driver Architecture
At the heart of Pan is a distinctive double-driver configuration. Each ear cup houses two 40 mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, providing a larger total driver surface area.
The result is a relaxed, balanced, and finely detailed sonic character, with silky, well-defined highs. Within the Erzetich headphone family, Pan occupies its own distinctive position, sitting sonically between the Mania V2021 and Phobos 4.
With an impedance of 64 ohms, Pan is relatively easy to drive and performs well with both dedicated headphone amplifiers and portable digital audio players.
Inspired By Mythology
The name Pan draws inspiration from the mythical Greek god of nature, music, and the wilderness. Often depicted playing the pan flute, Pan represents a connection between music and the natural world.
This inspiration is reflected in the product’s logo, which incorporates the distinctive shape of a pan flute—a small tribute to the mythical figure behind the name.
Erzetich Pan is available at a suggested retail price of €1,700.
