Made in conjunction with Vision Ears, the Astell&Kern Aura headphones represent the ultimate in sound, style and craft.
Collaboration of the best Vison Ears is a premium in-ear headphone brand with a reputation for technological prowess and meticulous craft. In this collaboration with Astell&Kern, the two companies have worked tirelessly to produce some of the finest in-ear headphones in the world – the Aura.
Multi-speaker array for outstanding frequency response With no fewer than 11, custom-designed drivers and a 5-way crossover per earpiece, the Aura headphones deliver stunning sound quality across the widest frequency response. At the top-end, a dedicated balanced armature super tweeter helps gives these earphones an incredibly sense of space and to-end clarity. Two sets of four balanced armature drivers manage the upper and lower midrange, delivering unprecedented vocal and instrumental clarity.
Powerful bass At the bottom-end, twin, 8mm dynamic drivers are fitted in an isobaric (opposing) configuration for an effective doubling of their bass impact. The ‘special chamber’ is precisely calculated for the best trade off between driver speed and musicality, while the stylish mesh lets the air circulate around the earphones for exceptional soundstaging.
The highest quality construction for sonic precision Every element of the Aura’s construction is implemented to the highest standards. The precision-milled aluminium shells are sandblasted, hand polished and anodised. The faceplates use laser etching and oil coating to prevent oxidation. The entire process is highly skilled and time consuming but helps the sound to reach its highest standard possible.
Top quality cables Supplied with both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm unbalanced cables, the Aura headphones suit a wide range of different devices. Custom-made by Effect Audio, the cables offer four wire components for the highest standards of resolution. Two UP-OCC pure copper litz wires and two pure silver litz and pure copper litz hybrid wires ensure that every element of sound is carried with the least resistance possible.
Luxury case and accessories Made from the finest leathers, the supplied carrying case is a piece of art in its own right. Durable yet yielding, the soft leather develops a unique patina over time. You also get a leather earphone pocket and cable clip, completing the luxury feel in every detail.
The perfect match for Astell&Kern’s top-end portable players, reference hi-fi and more besides, the Aura represents the pinnacle of in-ear audio sound and style.
