Know before you buy
The Miyabi MKII offers a balanced and refined sound signature. It is particularly well-suited for vocals and classical music, providing a wide soundstage and high-frequency clarity thanks to its ceramic tweeter.
Yes, the Miyabi MKII features detachable MMCX connectors. This allows you to easily swap out the included hybrid cable for a different one if you prefer a different connection type or need a replacement.
The fourth-generation HDSS technology works to reduce internal sound disturbances and reflections within the housing. This results in a cleaner, more natural sound reproduction with less distortion.
With an impedance of 22Ω and a sensitivity of 108dB/mW, the Miyabi MKII is relatively easy to drive. You should be able to achieve good volume and performance directly from most standard 3.5mm headphone jacks on laptops or mobile devices.
The anodized titanium housing is not just for aesthetics; it provides a rigid, acoustically stable environment for the drivers. This material helps minimize unwanted vibrations, contributing to the monitor's overall clarity and precise audio delivery.
No, the Miyabi MKII relies on passive noise isolation. The fit of the in-ear design provides a physical seal that blocks out a significant amount of ambient noise, but it does not use electronic circuitry to cancel external sounds.
