At the press of a button, 6 sensors measure the distance to the surrounding walls using ultrasound. Then, a microprocessor adjusts the output from the driver array to precisely tailor Aurora’s performance. The effect is similar to the adjustments made by a live sound engineer at a mixing desk when adapting sound to suit different venues. All the adjustments are strictly analog without relying on DSP. This enables a much finer and more accurate tailoring of the sound without attempting to 'neutralize' it unnaturally. Whether you place it on a table, in the corner, or under a wall-mounted television, ART ensures the Aurora is calibrated to perform at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAesthetic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClad in bamboo and elevated by a distinctive aluminum frame, the Aurora’s design is striking.

While some IEMs supposedly have as many as 7 crossovers, the Zephyr just has 3 drivers with no electronic crossovers to interfere or create artifacts in your music. With a focus on the quality of each driver and not the quantity, the Zephyr features a proprietary 10mm DD for bass, and Sub-bass, a Knowles balanced armature driver specially made to reproduce mids and a specialized Knowles balanced armature driver for highs. The result is impactful sub-bass, non-overwhelming, yet satisfying bass, mids that are not drowned out by bass or highs, and clear yet non-fatiguing highs.

It is a state-of-the-art technology in audio amplification, leading to tremendous performance differences when compared to traditional audio amplifiers. As the “engine” of the audio system, Current Mode Amplification features a fully discrete and topological structure, and can achieve ultra-high sound performance that reproduces music so faithfully, it feels like you are in the original recording room. Using Current Mode Amplification technology, listeners can attain a much better listening experience, even when using consumer-grade headphones and speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 years of pre-research with ESS, Questyle selected the flagship DAC ES9038PRO, a decoding chip with the most powerful performance of any DAC invented to date, and jointly launched CMA Fifteen with ESS, supporting 32bit\/768K and DSD 512 master band formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/15_front_2048x2048.jpg?v=1639520004\" alt=\"Questyle CMA Fifteen\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurrent Mode Amplification Meets Current mode DAC=Current Mode²\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo chase extreme performance, almost all high-end DAC chips from world-renowned manufacturers feature current-type output, which in most traditional amplifiers, is then coupled with an IV converter and classical amplifier architecture. But we at Questyle wondered: if the DAC’s output is already current-type, why don’t we also amplify that signal in current-mode? And that’s exactly what we did in the CMA Fifteen: we use the ES9038PRO current-mode DAC, and couple that to four Current Mode Amplifiers, which together operate in fully balanced mode to achieve “system-level lossless” purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCMA Fifteen supports MQA full decoding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording.

The goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the perspective of the music creator. On their own, each component of the HD 800 S is world-class. The signature sound of the HD 800 S is possible not because of any one of them, but through the synergy of all of them.

Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit. The voice coil excites the diaphragm, connected to the v-shaped groove found near the center of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll the World’s a Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HD 800 S features a mesmerizing soundstage that seemingly transports the listener into the recording environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the result of several key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you experience a vivid wash of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients. When finally combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most striking soundstage yet. This orientation rivals or exceeds loudspeaker setups costing exponentially more—especially when room acoustics are factored in. The HD 800 S offers you a personal concert hall on-demand—without waking the neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Sennheiser HD 800 S headphone grill closeup\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/sennheiser-hd800s-open-back-lifestyle-grill-02ba_2048x2048.jpg?v=1668634275\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Ergonomic Treat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HD 800 S delivers on long-term wearing comfort too, providing a listening experience as luxurious as it is immersive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery contact point utilizes ultra-soft microfiber padding, while purpose-built composites reduce weight and unwanted pressure.

Sennheiser has improved its trusted 7mm transducer for the IE 900. They have created the all-new X3R triple-chamber absorber technology and milled it right into the solid aluminum core.
