Know before you buy
The four included filters allow you to adjust the level of outside sound bleed and low-frequency response. By swapping them, you can choose between maximum isolation for focused listening or a more open soundscape that lets in ambient noise for better situational awareness.
This patented technology prevents the 'vacuum' sensation often felt with high-isolation in-ear monitors. It relieves pneumatic pressure on your eardrums, which significantly increases comfort during long listening sessions.
The Z22 features an ergonomic, contoured shape designed to sit flush within the ear. While fit is subjective, this design is intended to provide a secure and comfortable seal for a wide variety of ear shapes.
No, because the faceplates are handcrafted using natural materials, the pattern and color depth of the Blue Paua Abalone will vary. Each pair is unique, meaning your specific set will have a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
With an impedance of 22 ohms and a sensitivity of 106 dB, the Z22 is efficient enough to be driven easily by most smartphones, tablets, and portable digital audio players without the need for a dedicated amplifier.
The Z22 utilizes a standard 2-pin connector at the earpiece, which is a common and reliable industry standard. It comes terminated with a 3.5mm (1/8″) stereo jack for universal compatibility with most standard audio devices.
