Astell & Kern pride themselves on their forward-thinking designs to bring you the highest quality products with the best sound articulation possible and with ZERO1, that ethos is ever-present. Featuring three bespoke drivers designed to take control of different aspects of the audio the special micro rectangular planar dynamic driver offers crisp and dynamic treble so no matter the track, shimmering highs are guaranteed. The dual custom balanced armature drivers use custom coils to focus on the true articulation of vocal passages with little to no distortion present. Then, the single 5.6mm dynamic driver provides depth and draws power in the low-frequency band offering up rich profound tones. A hybrid of frequencies is combined from the drivers for the perfect balance of natural audio.
A common problem with earphones is the resonance and movement of the drivers in a small space that causes unstable performance and diminishes the lifespan. Astell & Kern have that covered by carefully placing the drivers in the optimal position of the meticulously designed chamber, created using 3D printing technology. By using this method, measurements can be precise and result in enhanced performance without the unnecessary movement and resonance, creating the highest-quality sound possible.
Astell & Kern ensures the highest quality components across the board and this is no different when it comes to the cabling. After all, there should be no compromise when it comes to exceptional sound quality. Manufactured by highly experienced engineers in Japan, the silver-coated OFC cable optimises performance with high-purity silver plating and OFC copper. OFC copper is annealed in an oxygen-free environment improving the performance compared to that of standard copper. What does this mean for you? This results in higher conductivity which in short removes as much interference from external sources as possible and improves the connection at different points of the cable so you can enjoy your favourite tracks with crystal clear precision, hum and noise-free.
