Frequently Asked Questions
Each filter subtly shapes the frequency response – 'balanced' is neutral, 'warm' emphasizes low-end, 'bright' boosts highs, and 'extended' adds airiness.
While technically possible, the low impedance means you'll likely need a dedicated headphone amplifier for optimal volume and sound quality with a smartphone.
The Gen 2 offers refined driver tuning and improved filter performance, resulting in a more transparent and nuanced listening experience.
