Now shipping!
Heavily tilted driver earcup design - Aune AR5000 headphones feature an innovative MLD (Multi-Layer Distributed) driver, a carefully designed high-tilt acoustic structure and a patented concentric circle wearing system that provides a relaxed and rich sound, a deep and wide soundstage, a comfortable wearing experience and an authentic reproduction of the exquisite texture of music.
Aune AR5000 headphones feature a 50 mm dynamic driver with an innovative structure. The MLD diaphragm provides a balance of stiffness and damping, further solving the problem of break-up often found in large drivers. This reduction in distortion across the entire frequency range results in high transparency.
The low impedance of 28 ohms improves compatibility - High quality portable devices, such as the Aune Yuki, are already capable of driving the headphones and delivering impressive overall performance. In addition, the AR5000 unfolds its surprisingly high potential in combination with desktop devices.
The cable uses common dual 3.5mm connections into the headphone, commonly used b man brands, compatible with a wide range of cables. Terminates in a 3.5mm pug w/ 6.35mm adaptor.
Launch bonus - each AR5000 includes a stand at no extra cost! ($29 value)
Aune AR5000 specs:
Really great value. included cable is way higher quality than anything else in this price range, and the optional copper cable is now my go-to for anything it's compatible with Very neutral pleasing sound, a little weak on the dynamics in my opinion, but the extension through the bass eclipses anything from sennheiser here. Also quite friendly to EQ, I made some relatively large adjustments without noticing any distortion. comfort is good, but the angled driver placement sometimes causes them to bump into my ears. Not a huge deal if you're sitting still but if you're bobbing along to the music it can cause them to rub a bit. Overall a really strong contender in this price range and certainly one to consider.
Although it has only been about a week, I am Very impressed with the AR5000's. I tried with a neutral amp (Lehmann Linear), and the sound was very clean and balanced. Then I tried it on a warmer amp (Violectric V220) and I was in love! Cheap, light and sound Great. That is a winner!
