XTZ – EP12 earphone

Earphone 12

The idea behind this project was not only to create a good earphone, maybe with an excellent price/quality ratio, but to build something revolutionary, something that expresses our passion for music and technology. The in-ear headphones have been developed using the best technology throughout. In addition to the excellent membrane used, they have been optimized in many other points. A particular focus of the earphone lies in its ability to perfectly hide ambient noise so you can enjoy your music undisturbed, in a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Of course, the great look of the EarPhone 12 comes from its clean, metallic design while its comfort comes from the ergonomic engineering we undertook. We were even able to solve the perpetually frustrating problem of having to sort out a tangled cord. The two earphones are each magnetic on their backs so they attach together perfectly. The cable is particularly impressive itself in that it unravels literally on its own and without any help. This is made possible by its flat design and combined with the cord’s low friction. The frustration and difficulties experienced when using traditional earphones become a thing of the past.

DSP technology from Dirac Research

Dirac Research owns the market’s most advanced technology in digital sound processing (DSP) and consequently it´s used by several luxury brands like BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce etc. The advanced algorithm we use optimizes both frequency response (amplitude) and impulse response (time domain). Applying Dirac’s DSP optimization, the result is an impressively balanced and flawless sound, which can truly be described as breathtaking.
