In the VE ZEN, Vision Ears combines the power of nine balanced armature drivers (BA) with an 8 mm dynamic driver with acoustic low-pass filter (DD). This combination provides an incomparable sound with powerful bass, lively mids and airy highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dynamic bass driver gives the low frequencies a much more natural sound, a perfect blend of emotion and precision. The very lively mid frequencies have an almost magical presence and sound incredibly open and detailed. The upper frequencies sound as open and airy as you are usually only used to from In-Ears that use electrostatic tweeters. This combination merges into a sound spectacle that not only invites you to listen, but also transports you into a world of pure sonic ecstasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther outstanding features of the VE ZEN are the high resolution, the balanced sound and the wide stereo image. Thanks to this high level of resolution, the VE ZEN is perfect for controlling any instrument without sacrificing the fun factor. Rich lows make the rhythm section's hearts beat faster, while precisely balanced mids and highs provide excellent control for vocals, keyboards and guitars. The wide and open sound stage reveals details that you've never heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/vision-ears-ve10-ba-plant.jpg?v=1705068610\" alt=\"Vision Ears VE 10 single earphone with attached stock cable hanging from plant\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10 Year Anniversary Universal Fit Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE ZEN is the only model in the Custom Line to be available exclusively as a “10 Year Anniversary Design” with a universal fit.
