Know before you buy
The Saber utilizes a combination of two dynamic drivers and one balanced armature to deliver an energetic and intimate sound. You get the punchy, textured low-end response of the titanium and beryllium drivers balanced by the crisp, clear detail of the balanced armature.
While Damascus steel is a dense, premium material, the body of the Saber is crafted from lightweight matte black ABS. This combination ensures the IEMs remain comfortable for extended listening sessions without feeling overly heavy in the ear.
With an impedance of 8.2 Ohms and a sensitivity of 94 dB, these are relatively easy to power. However, using a dedicated DAC or high-quality portable amplifier will help you get the most out of the driver configuration and ensure better control over the frequency response.
The Saber features an ergonomic, over-ear fit designed to create a secure seal in the ear canal. This physical seal provides excellent passive noise isolation, which is highly effective at blocking out common background noises like office chatter or transit hums.
The 3D-printed acoustic chamber allows for precise internal geometry that would be difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing. This design optimizes airflow and driver positioning, which directly contributes to the Saber's expansive sound staging and sonic clarity.
Yes, the Saber uses custom Beryllium/Copper MMCX connectors. This industry-standard connection allows you to easily detach and swap the cable for a replacement or an upgrade without needing to replace the entire earphone unit.
