Tuning

While many others attempts to achieve macro-dynamics, we've successfully achieved it along with a very few manufacturers we known of. We believe that the thing that makes a headphone timeless is to accurately reproduce macro-dynamics. Just chasing technicalities or micro-dynamics alone will age a headphone badly. Future headphones, and, especially, IEMs would evolve to produce more micro-details and would be cheap enough to lower the price-performance bracket of the former. Picture your headphone obsolete in a few years time given that it has no back-bone to keep it still sounding like you're not missing out on anything, arguably good tonal tuning can be timeless. But in our case, we believe we have both.

Macro-dynamics by our definition is the extension or detail of an individually occurring sound and NOT addition of an individual produced sound. You may (jokingly) miss out the fart of the musician but at least you'll get to hear the beautiful coloration that has existed in the music and NOT produced by highly resonant material such as wood or thin-sheet of Titanium cups with no form of damping to artificial color the sound like MSG.

So for frequency response and tonality, we've attempted to closely match to today's silver standard of multiple well-known headphone targets found in the community as to fulfil an obligation to the religion of "audio scientist" without compromising emotional engagement. The goal was a mild V-shape; 3-4db bass lift with painless and fatigue-free forward treble, to highlight the headphone capabilities and offer a presentation that's in-between flat and V-shape.
