Well this was certainly something I did not expect. Are wired earphones about step back out of the niche market?

10mm single DD with dac cable. I hope they have a good tuning! That could help our niche find new users, and maybe even a few new enthusiasts😊

30 USD with the Sony and its a TINY 5mm DD…
" Rich bass. Clear vocals." my ass.
and are they admitting its not even made by them lol.
That weight has to be a typo or something though…cant be 1.56 kg…

Interesting.
Honestly, I hope this might be the first steps for the big consumertech brands to start working on wired earphones with inline DSP with actual usable software. The groundwork is there. Time to bring it home and to the masses.

placeholder prices but they said around $150 for the druid so seems to line up

Went to canjam socal and my daughter and I had a blast trying out the acc45 and 55. We are not audiophiles, she is just a teenager but she enjoyed those two.

Are they not uncomfortable behind the ears?

If its similar in comfort/fit like the Koss KSC75 then this is pretty much the best comfort besides speakers to me.

They told us what they had on display was a prototype. It was definitely comfortable and it sounded great. Apparently the hooks will be moldable so I am sure that will add to the comfort.

That is a big change from the other clip-ons on the market atm.

Hopefully it’s a good change. A lot of times people say “if it’s not broken don’t fix it.” But I think it will be a good change.

Doesnt sound like it is bad to me at least, unless it too flexible or something…

Ah, so the acquisition is actually completed?
Sound United will operate as a standalone business under Harman’s lifestyle division to ensure that each audio brand preserves its identity and customer base.
Let’s hope this remains true and those brands don’t get hollowed out.

Hopefully…or the harman invasion will begin.

@Rikudou_Goku I knew you were tracking those Fiio Jieze Dongles, but I hadn’t really seen anyone talking about them, and they only appear to be on AE. Have you listened on these? Or anyone for that matter.
I have always viewed them as the update to the JA11, but I am curious if that is underestimating them. The JA11 also seems to be an AE only item ( never on Amazon ).

No i actually havent seen anyone talk about it.
I do see it as the JA11 successor.
