Astell&Kern join forces with Beyerdynamic

Astell&Kern have collaborated with Beyerdynamic to create the AK T8iE and AK T1p audio listening devices.
German manufacturer, Beyerdynamic, is synonymous with innovation and top-of-the-range quality since its establishment in 1924 by Eugen Beyer. Both the AKT8iE and AK T1p have been handcrafted in Germany by the finest engineers and designed with their signature Tesla technology. Distinguished by its strong magnetic drive and transparent sound, the Tesla transducer is a milestone in the Beyerdynamic innovation history.
Astell&Kern AK T1p
The Astell&Kern AK T1p is defined by quality, impressive sound and luxury design. The successful T1 model returns with a new and improved Tesla driver and lowered ohm impedance. When paired with mobile players, smartphones and tablets the Tesla transducer allows you to experience a much more controlled and complete sound response. These headphones provide a portable high-end system with an open design that is ideal for high resolution playback. Connect yourself with either the included 2.5mm balanced cable (for use with Astell&Kern Players) or connect directly to any standard 3.5mm jack using the 3.5mm audiophile grade cable which is also included as standard. Oozing class and style these new headphones look amazing with the premium stainless steel finish.
Astell&Kern AK T8iE
As the first high-end in-ear model with Tesla technology, the Astell&Kern AK T8iE offers a superior experience. The dynamic moving-coil transducer provides extreme wide frequency range with crisp bass, well-balanced mids and crystal-clear highs. Rather than separating the bass, midrange and treble tones your audio will sound complete and whole thanks to the innovative Tesla transducer. Besides the standard 1.3m cable with the general-purpose 3.5mm plug there is an additional 2.5mm balanced cable for Astell&Kern devices.
Just as important as sound quality is comfort. The AK T8iE features a concha design with the cable running over the ear, which has a few advantages. On the one hand, a somewhat larger housing is necessary, to accommodate the 11 millimetre Tesla driver inside. On the other hand, the oval-shaped concha molds sit very comfortably in the ear without any pressure. They are easily inserted, instead of pressing them forcefully into the ear canal. And because the cable doesn’t pull, they can’t fall out. The cable is covered with Aramid, a strong and heat resistant synthetic fiber, for high durability that will stand up to long term use on the go and comes in a small carry case for storage.
Astell&Kern also measured a variety of ear canals of people from around the world, and ergonomically optimized the ear tips. Five different sizes of these unique silicone tips are included as well as foam tips in S, M and L.
Technology aside, the aesthetics of the earphones are second to none. The dark chrome finish exudes a level of class and style. Enjoy the comfort, ease and stability while listening to music due to the anatomically shaped design. With a range of five different sizes of silicone tips and three pairs of foam ear tips, you can find the perfect fit for your ear shape.
Beyerdynamic are market leaders in sound technology and continue to raise the industry standard with their innovations and advancements. Together with Astell&Kern, they have produced exciting new models of headphones that will have everyone impressed with the design and quality.
