Know before you buy
The six-driver system uses a three-way crossover to dedicate two drivers each to the high, mid, and low frequencies. This separation allows for greater clarity and a more balanced soundstage, ensuring that complex music tracks are reproduced with high precision.
Yes, the W60s are compatible with both Android and Apple devices. While the included EPIC G2 cable features MFI controls specifically for Apple, the headphones use a standard MMCX connection, allowing you to swap in other cables or use the included Bluetooth cable for wireless connectivity.
These patented tips are designed to provide a secure, ergonomic seal within the ear canal. This seal is crucial for blocking out ambient noise and ensuring the bass response is consistent and impactful.
The metallic faceplates are strictly for aesthetic customization and do not alter the acoustic performance of the headphones. They allow you to change the look of your W60s to suit your personal style.
Open box units are factory-sealed products that have been returned or had their packaging opened, but the headphones themselves remain in new condition. These units include the full manufacturer's warranty, offering the same performance and protection as a brand-new pair.
Yes, the W60 features a detachable MMCX cable system. This makes it easy to replace the cable if it becomes damaged or to upgrade to a different cable type without needing to replace the entire headphone set.
