Know before you buy
The MAPro1000 uses a dual-driver setup combining a 10mm graphene-coated dynamic driver for deep, controlled bass and a specialized 5.8mm RST (Reactive Sympathetic Tweeter) for high-frequency clarity. This combination provides a balanced, natural sound profile that avoids the harshness often found in single-driver designs.
Yes, they are specifically designed for extended wear. The ergonomic shape and lightweight build prioritize a fatigue-free fit, while the wide sound stage helps with spatial awareness in games and VR environments.
Yes, the MAPro1000 features standard MMCX connectors. This allows you to easily detach and replace the cable if it becomes damaged or if you wish to upgrade to a different cable type.
No, the MAPro1000 does not have a built-in microphone. They are designed primarily for high-fidelity audio playback for music, gaming, and media consumption.
With an impedance of 22Ω and a sensitivity of 111dB, these IEMs are very easy to drive. You can achieve excellent volume and sound quality directly from most smartphones, tablets, or laptops equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The MAPro1000 comes with multiple eartip sizes to accommodate different ear canal shapes. We recommend testing each size to find the best seal, which is essential for both comfort and achieving the intended bass response.
