Hybrid, 3-way, In-Ear Headphones

Prepare for an exceptional in-ear listening experience beyond compare and treat your ears to: deep bass, radiant mids, smooth highs, and notable vocal clarity. For the first time, proven Sony dynamic drivers are paired with cutting-edge Balanced Armature driver technology to deliver rich, dynamic, and detailed audio response.

Sound Story

For years, Dynamic driver units have served us well, delivering reliable sound with rich bass all at low distortion levels. Balanced Armature headphones, on the other hand, are noted for their delivery of smooth and broad frequency response with notable vocal clarity.

Recipe for Hybrid Audio

Take 16mm Liquid Crystal Polymer Film diaphragms (exceptional, dynamic, and balanced sound) and add cutting-edge Balanced Armature technology (full-range + HD super tweeter = broad frequency response with notable vocal clarity) for an in-ear audio experience delivering the best of both worlds: deep/bellowing bass, radiant highs, and musical detail.

Beat Response Control

Perfect for today‚¬„s music genres, a special acoustic design helps control airflow and diaphragm movement for tight, deep bass response.

Vibration Suppression Housing

A special sandwich consisting of a magnesium inner housing and ABS exterior provides the necessary rigidity for smooth frequency response and vibration suppression for clear mid-high range sound reproduction.

Just your size‚¬¦

Improved fit results in significantly lower sound leakage levels, both in or out, giving you uninterrupted access to your music. Supplied Hybrid silicone earbuds, (S, M, L), maximize overall sound quality and comfort. Supplied Noise isolation earbuds (SS, S, M, L) use urethane foam to provide increased ambient noise reduction.

Secure and comfortable fit

A soft, Teknorote coated silicone ear hanger allows for a secure and custom fit that‚¬„s easily adjustable.

Two detachable cords supplied

Choose from two, supplied, detachable and tangle-free cables, one a standard audio connecting cable and the second with in-line 3-button remote for smartphone connectivity. The in-line, 3-button remote allows volume and track control (Play, Stop, Next/Prior) for iPod, iPhone or iPad, while the built-in microphone makes it easy to take calls through it all.¹
