Know before you buy
Open-box means the product was previously unsealed but remains in like-new condition. Each unit is inspected to ensure it functions perfectly and includes all original components, backed by a full 1-year limited warranty.
ATOM Venting manages internal air pressure to expand the soundstage and provide a more natural, speaker-like presentation. It also helps reduce ear fatigue during longer listening sessions by preventing pressure buildup.
Yes, the e12 features SwapX technology, which allows you to easily remove and replace the faceplates. This modular design lets you customize the aesthetic of your monitors without needing professional tools.
Using a single driver ensures perfect phase coherence, meaning all frequencies reach your ears at the exact same time. This results in a more cohesive, natural sound signature compared to multi-driver setups that require complex crossovers.
The included cable features a 4.4mm balanced termination, which is standard for high-end digital audio players and balanced amplifiers. If you intend to use a standard 3.5mm jack, you will need a 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter.
The e12 provides -17dB of passive noise isolation. While they are highly effective at blocking out ambient office or household noise, they are not active noise-canceling headphones and will not silence loud, low-frequency engine drones.
