Headphones that reproduce the realism of vocals and instruments reverberating in a space
With SONOROUS X, the driver unit housing and the front plate have been integrated and machined from pure aluminum; this prestige model achieves untainted clarity right down to even the most minute sound, without impeding the accurate movement of the diaphragm.
With D8000, sporting the AFDS System (Air Film Damping System), the planar magnetic model was reinvented. Leaving the merits of the planar magnetic model - a lightweight vibration system and superior reproduction of high frequencies - as is, the employment of AFDS expands the reproduction frequency band with a bass bias, and makes the use of breatheable earpads possible. Compared to the conventional planar magnetic model, with which tightly sealed earpads had to be used to suplement bass frequencies, the natural, open sound achieved is of a quality worthy of being termed a reinvention.
SONOROUS VI and SONOROUS III are balanced armature / 50mmΦ dynamic driver unit hybrids. Clear sound quality and a deep sound stage can be experienced through the synergism of the broadband reproduction and BAM mechanism of the two drivers. SONOROUS III, however, is an entry models to which the design approach acquired with the development of SONOROUS X has been freely applied; while maintaining similar sound quality, these models are lightweight and considerably lower in price.
As the meaning of the series name SONOROUS - "to resonate deeply" – suggests, our hope with these is to reproduce the realism of vocals and instruments reverberating in a space.
