• Open-back housing to evoke the imagery of sunlight filtering through the trees

• Elegantly crafted with a touch of Japanese aesthetics

• Carved from black walnut, a globally renowned wood

• Combines excellent structural rigidity with exceptional acoustic qualities

• The design draws inspiration from the captivating natural phenomenon where sunlight produces a radiant glow as it filters through the spaces amidst trees

• This precision-machined design not only upholds structural rigidity but also effectively eliminates the generation of modal vibrations

• Each opening is meticulously sized to prevent resonance at particular frequencies

• Leveraging years of accumulated expertise, bio-cellulose fibers are skillfully blended with other materials under optimal conditions

• This results in achieving a low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and high internal loss

• These properties enable the faithful reproduction of delicate, high-resolution, and beautiful mid-high frequencies

• The inclusion of a free edge enables the accurate reproduction of low mid-range frequencies with substantial amplitude

• Exceptionally robust magnetic circuit~

• The magnetic circuit boasts a 50mm driver unit with an impressive magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla.

• This ultra-strong magnetic circuit ensures minimal distortion and a wide dynamic range.

• High quality and lightweight mechanical parts

• Aluminum is widely employed for mechanical components to attain a superior quality feel while keeping the product lightweight

• Incorporating high-specific-gravity resin for the baffle plate effectively minimizes resonance noise, resulting in exceptional resolution, a lush mid-range, and high-quality bass reproduction

• Detachable connectors

• The detachable headphone connection terminals are rhodium-plated to enhance hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, ultimately boosting their reliability
