Developed between two top names in personal audio, the Astell&Kern IXO earphones reveal every minutiae of your music.
A collaboration of audio greats For the XIO, Astell&Kern has collaborated with renowned IEM (In-Ear Monitor) manufacturers, 64 Audio. Handcrafted in the USA, they are meticulously engineered both inside and out. Using an advanced hybrid system, featuring ten high-performance drivers and a 4-way passive crossover, you get to experience unprecedented depth and expansive stereo imaging.
tiaⓇ waveguide for expansive staging The tia Ⓡ driver is designed with a direct-radiating structure that eliminates the traditional sound tube, enhancing the delicacy of high frequencies. The design minimises damping and distortion, while the precisely positioned driver, together with a custom waveguide system, delivers a deep sense of space and airy, detailed highs.
Balanced Armature array for lifelike vocals and mid-range The mid and upper-mid frequencies are powered by six and one balanced armature drivers, delivering seamless transitions and rich texture. Vocals, instruments, and their unique harmonic details are crisply rendered, creating a natural and well-balanced sense of space within the soundstage.
TRUE ISOBARIC dual dynamic driver for exceptional bass depth The TRUE ISOBARIC structure features two dynamic drivers perfectly synchronized within an acoustically neutral coupling chamber, enabling precise control. This design delivers bass with exceptional depth and weight, creating incredible impact from such a small pair of earphones.
Precision casings for driver stability Ensuring that the driver assembly is kept as firmly positioned as possible, the XIO features precision-milled 904L stainless steel shells. Finished with a luxurious black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, they feel more like expensive jewellery than typical earphones.
Supplied with premium, silver-plated UP-OCC copper Litz cable For the perfect fit with your premium portable, the XIO headphones are supplied with a 4.4mm balanced cable. Made from silver-plated UP-OCC copper Litz conductors, the cable achieves the perfect balance between detail and refinement.
Wide range of accessories included The XIO comes supplied with a range of high quality accessories. These include TrueFidelity foam, SpinFit silicon and standard silicone eartips, all in S/M/L sizes. A 64 Audio premium leather case protects the earphones in transit, while a cleaning tool and cloth keeps them looking and sounding their best.
Experience the finest sound from IEMs, with the Astell&Kern IXO.
