Know before you buy
The Oracle features a neutral, studio-focused sound signature. It combines a ruler-flat midrange for accurate vocal reproduction with a distinct subbass boost that mimics the physical impact of a subwoofer.
The dual Sonion electrostatic drivers handle the high frequencies, extending the response up to 80kHz. This results in an airy, spacious soundstage and exceptional detail retrieval that standard balanced armature drivers often struggle to replicate.
Yes, they are specifically designed for critical listening. The combination of low harmonic distortion from the Knowles drivers and the precise, neutral midrange makes them a reliable tool for audio professionals who need an uncolored, accurate representation of their mix.
Yes, the Oracle uses a standard 2-pin 0.78mm connector, which allows you to easily swap the included 5N OCC silver-plated cable for aftermarket cables of your choice.
The Oracle comes with one pair of silicone eartips and three pairs of foam eartips in small, medium, and large sizes. These options are essential for achieving a proper seal, which is necessary to experience the full subbass response.
With a sensitivity of 106dB/mW, the Oracle is relatively efficient and can be driven by most modern smartphones or portable DAC/amps. However, using a high-quality source will ensure you get the best performance from the complex tribrid driver setup.
