About Defy BassX DWH01

The Defy BassX DWH01 is a highly ergonomic pair of over-ear headphones that are designed for comfort and all-day wear. Crafted using a lightweight ABS plastic frame and some of the finest and premium faux-leather and foam earcups, the headphone offers extreme comfort with a soft-while-snug fit to ensure great noise isolation. The skin-friendly foam cups are also sweat-resistant so that you can wear them throughout the day. Experience captivating audio sessions or attend calls for extended periods without the feat of straining your ears.

The Defy BassX DWH01 also promise high performance. Using 40mm drivers, the bass delivery is so perfect that your audio tracks will sound better than before. Additionally, the in-built Noise Defying Audio Technology offers passive noise isolation for a truly immersive experience. And with the latest Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity, these audio cans can promise you a quicker pairing and a distortion-free audio stream even at a longer range.

As far as a wireless headphone is concerned, the biggest challenge is to keep them performing without frequently needing to hit the charging zone. Our engineers have tuned the Defy BassX DWH01 to ensure that you get a maximum performance of 15 hours on a single charge. And to make sure you don’t have to spend too much time on charging, they have also included a Type-C port that can quick-charge the headphones in no time.

Creating a high-performance headphone is tricky, and so does additionally making it feature-rich. The Defy BassX DWH01 is also filled with features that will make your life easy when it comes to connectivity, controls and commands. With complete control over your music and calls, the control panel on the earcups will help you change tracks, attend calls or get help from your personal voice assistant from Google or Siri.  And lastly, Defy has added the greatest feature that most brands have always ignored — dual-pairing mode. With this feature, you can now switch between calls and finishing your favourite season on Netflix. Pair your laptop or tablet simultaneously with your smartphone. You will never miss an important call even when you are enjoying Guru Randhawa’s ‘Nain Bengali’ at full volume.

HIFIMAN launches HE400se Open-Back Planar Headphone with Invisible Stealth Magnets.

HIFIMAN, the leader in high fidelity personal audio, officially announces the HE400se Open-Back Over-Ear Planar Headphones in India. The new pair of cans feature a high-fidelity design with an ultra-wide soundstage and detailed spatial imaging in a new comfortable design and a highly affordable price point. Key features include planar drivers with an acoustically invisible stealth magnet, 3.5mm detachable audio cables and a comfortable lightweight design.

Speaking on the announcement, Dr Fang Bian, Founder, President and CEO of HIFIMAN Electronics mentioned, “HIFIMAN is famous for developing planar magnetic headphones that bring real-world full-range sonics to personal audio. The HE400se is the result of our tapping our deep background in planar magnetic design to create a headphone with a wide soundstage and detailed imaging at a price that is within reach of nearly every music lover with a smart portable device or a high-res audio player or a.”

Adding to Dr Bian’s comment, Mr Purnachandra Samal, Director-Sales (India) of HIFIMAN Electronics India, said, “We are extremely delighted to introduce the HIFIMAN HE400se to our Indian consumers. The HE400se is carefully crafted and designed for anyone seeking studio-quality audio performance from practically any audio device within an affordable budget. What makes the HE400se a perfect gadget for our Indian fans is the unique design which features hybrid earpads. It not only contributes to performance but also remains cool and comfortable for hours, even in warm weather conditions.”   

Technology

The HE400se does not use the conventional neodymium magnets found on most drivers. Featured here are acoustically invisible stealth magnets, designed with a special shape allowing sound waves to pass through them without any interference. This is HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design which is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave fraction turbulence that’s highly responsible for degrading the integrity of sound waves. The new stealth magnet technology yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

Performance

At the heart of the HIFIMAN HE400se are the planar drivers that deliver pure audio bliss. As opposed to standard dynamic headphone diaphragms that are never driven to their full capacity, planar headphones feature conductive layers that cover nearly the entire diaphragm. This results in significantly lower distortion than conventional dynamic headphones. Thanks to HE400se’s high sensitivity which makes it a perfect match for low-voltage sources, you can now enjoy rich and pure music without the need for an amplifier. Get wide soundstage and detailed imaging from almost any audio source.

Design

The new HIFIMAN Electronics’ HE400se is an over-ear open-back headphone built for a studio-quality audio performance. The new design features a lightweight and adjustable headband along with hybrid earpads to help with added comfort during long hours. The varying thickness in the headband conforms to the human skull, which is almost like being custom-tailored for each listener’s head. And the hybrid earpads help keep the ears cool during long listening hours, even in warm weather conditions. The drivers are also protected by a newly designed casing for enhanced durability and element protection. Lastly, the headphones feature durable connections that use dual-sided high-performance cables with 3.5mm connectors. A 6.35mm adapter is also packaged along for maximum compatibility with a wide range of devices.

International brand ‘TRN’ debuts on The Audio Store in India with the launch of Four Hi-Fi wired IEMs

Four Hi-Fi wired IEMs with up to dual to seven drivers, designed for and by enthusiasts, for superior audio performance

An enthusiast’s hunt for superior audio performance will finally end here. Introducing ‘TRN’, an international brand highly renowned and recognized for its affordable and durable Hi-Fi IEMs. TRN debuts on ‘The Audio Store’, India’s one-stop destination for all music lovers. TRN brings to India four new wired IEM (In-Ear-Monitors) featuring up to seven high-performance drivers. Using neodymium magnets and personalized hand-tuned crossover electronics, TRN aims to satisfy the performance craving the audio enthusiast always seeks.

Extremely excited on the new brand debut in India, The Audio Store co-founder Pritam Halpawat expects TRN to draw huge attention to audio enthusiasts who seek high performance and durable wired IEMs on a surprisingly affordable note. Debuting on The Audio Store are TRN’s four new wired IEMs – TRN VX, TRN V90s, TRN V90 and TRN ST1 that feature up to 7 drivers with hand-tuned crossovers.

TRN VX seven driver

TRN VX: Seven Driver (1DD+6BA) Wired IEM with Mic.

The TRN VX features a 6 BA (Balanced armature) + 1 DD (Dual-magnet Dynamic) Hybrid Driver setup. The 10mm is a specially chosen high-performance dual neodymium magnet dynamic driver that delivers tactile and texture bass. The 6 BA customized 3 x 30095 + 3 x 50060 high-frequency balanced armatures produce outstanding treble, presenting an airy, spacious, elegant and natural sound with superb treble extension. TRN VX is tuned by the internally renowned engineers with more than 10 years of experience in the audio industry.

The seven drivers are housed into a magnesium alloy shell delivering a resonance characteristic that’s carefully tuned to create the utmost audio fidelity with a midrange that is buttery-smooth and dynamic featuring a wide captivating soundstage. The TRN VX also sports light-weight ear hooks ergonomically designed to sit comfortably around the helix of the ears and an acoustic inner-structure carefully designed to minimize chamber acoustic resonance and driver flex.

Other specifications include an impedance of 22Ω, Sensitivity of 107dB/mW, Frequency Range of 7-40000Hz apart from a 3.5mm straight audio jack with a detachable 1.2m cable. The TRN VX is priced at Rs 6,490 carrying a 1-year Industry Standard Warranty and will be exclusively available on The Audio Store.

TRN V90 penta driver

TRN V90: Penta Driver (4BA+1DD) Wired IEM with Mic.

The V90 is TRN’s flagship IEM featuring four customized BA drivers (2x 30019 + 2 x 50060) and a 10mm DA offering a new level of the listening experience, unprecedented power and dynamics. It sports a large diamond-graphite diaphragm to achieve low distortion and bring out more details without sacrificing any other sound signature. Hand-tuned with handmade advanced crossover electronics, the V90 brings remarkably stereo separation and smooth phase response, leading to more dynamic realistic imaging and staging for both casual and studio use. The metal housing is made using a special process that requires 21 types of diamond router bits, operated by skilled craftsmen, making it tough but extremely lightweight to offer a supreme feeling. And the specially designed air vents on the metal housing greatly help regulate the airflow and pressure for easy driving with any device.

Other specifications include an impedance of 22Ω, Sensitivity of 110dB/mW, Frequency Range of 7-40000Hz apart from a 3.5mm stereo jack with a detachable 1.2m cable. The TRN V90 is priced at Rs 4,490 carrying a 1-year Industry Standard Warranty and will be exclusively available on The Audio Store.

TRN V90s six drivers

TRN V90s: Six Drivers (5BA+1DD) Wired IEM with Mic.

Based on the flagship V90, the V90s is equipped with a dual magnet high-flux dynamic driver bringing lower impedance and higher sensitivity, better drivability which leads to faster transient response and deep impactful bass. Also onboard are 3 x 50060 BA and 2 x 30019 BA drivers for clear airy highs, rich mid-tones and crisp vocals. The hybrid technology is a magnificent journey into a great sound improvement over its predecessor. It also features an electronic crossover carefully tuned with the combination of arts and science in mind to deliver an experience that evolves musical expression with the emotion of sound and tonal balance through engineering.

Lastly, avoiding traditional die-casting process, the V90s uses the costly 5-axis CNC machining to offer a much better fit, feel and finish – a process commonly used in aviation, military, medical instruments and high precision equipment manufacturing. The inner structure is optimized with air pressure relief technology to harmonize excessive pressure from your eardrums to give a truly balanced natural sound without unwanted resonance or distortion, for the purest attainable sound. The IEMs use a 4-core high purity 6N OCC detachable copper cable allowing sound to flow more freely and openly with a bigger sound stage, better note definition and less strident treble on treble intensive tracks.

Other specifications include an Impedance of 22Ω, Sensitivity of 108dB/mW, Frequency Range of 20-40000Hz apart from a 3.5mm stereo jack with a detachable 1.2m cable. The TRN V90s is priced at Rs 5,990 carrying a 1-year Industry Standard Warranty and will be exclusively available on The Audio Store.

TRN ST1 dual driver

TRN ST1: Dual Driver (1DD+1BA) Wired IEM with Mic.

The TRN ST1 features 10mm DD and 30095 BA combo driver setup that greatly improves high-frequency extension and clarity to a degree that will leave you amazed over the richness of instruments and natural details emerging from your music collection. Enjoy an impactful bass rumble and delicate treble with music performance that holds more substance and a very natural tone. The ST1 has a carefully tuned 2-way crossover technology and acoustic chamber that allows narrower pass-band of drivers making it possible to optimize and tailor them to the desired sonic capabilities.

Using an advanced PVD protective film-coating that is tough, resists corrosion, impact and abrasion, the ST1 deserves an equally striking appearance. Each ST1 is hand-brushed to a satin finish, ensuring a luxurious pearly-white shine and plush feeling that is both artistically and aesthetically pleasing. The airflow control helps equalize internal chamber pressure via a vent on the faceplate. The ST1 also sports a specially shaped front housing made in accordance with the contour of a human auricle for utmost stability, comfort and sound isolation.

Other specifications include an impedance of 22Ω, Sensitivity of 108dB/mW, Frequency Range of 1-40000Hz apart from a 3.5mm Glided Type-C jack with a detachable 1.2m cable.
