Know before you buy
The Taurus is tuned for speed and precision. You can expect a highly detailed, analytical sound with fast transient response, making it an excellent choice for listeners who prioritize clarity and resolution over heavy bass emphasis.
Yes, the Taurus features a compact, lightweight machined aluminum housing designed to sit flush in the ear. Combined with the included variety of ear tips, you can achieve a secure, ergonomic fit that remains comfortable for extended periods.
With an impedance of 21.2 Ω and an SPL of 94 dB, the Taurus is relatively easy to drive. While it will benefit from a high-quality source or dedicated DAC/Amp to fully realize its resolution, it can be driven effectively by most modern smartphones and portable players.
Yes, the Taurus uses standard MMCX connectors, which are widely compatible with many aftermarket cables. The included Time Stream Metal cable is a premium option, but the modular design allows you to swap it out easily if needed.
The passive noise isolation is quite effective, provided you use the correct size ear tips for a proper seal. By physically blocking out ambient noise, these IEMs create a focused environment that allows you to hear the finer details in your music without needing to turn the volume up excessively.
