Know before you buy
The A8000 uses a diaphragm made from ultra-thin, pure Beryllium foil. This material is exceptionally rigid and lightweight, allowing for faster response times and a more transparent sound that captures subtle nuances and the silence between notes.
The A8000 features a durable stainless steel housing that weighs 41g. While the build is robust and premium, the ergonomic shape is designed for a secure fit, though the weight is slightly more noticeable than plastic-bodied in-ear monitors.
Yes, the A8000 uses standard MMCX connectors, making the cable easily replaceable or upgradable. The package also includes an MMCX ASSIST tool to help you detach the connectors safely without damaging the cable or the housing.
With an impedance of 16Ω and a sensitivity of 102dB, the A8000 is relatively easy to drive from most modern smartphones or portable digital audio players. However, because of their high level of detail, they will benefit significantly from a high-quality DAC or amplifier.
The A8000 relies on passive noise isolation, which depends on achieving a proper seal with the included silicone ear tips. While they don't feature electronic active noise cancellation, the tight fit provides excellent isolation from ambient background noise.
