Creating headphones that can extract the full dynamic potential in a recording—while remaining portable enough to stick in your back pocket—is no easy task. Yet Onkyo, a company with more than 65 years’ experience in hi-fi audio, has managed to do just that with the development of an all-new headphone sound. Featuring a large, low-impedance transducer, these headphones reach deep into the mix, balancing silky smooth bass with an open and natural mid-range. Tough aluminum and ABS resin hybrid construction helps to provide the necessary rigidity to tame resonance and distortion. Crystal-clear audio comes courtesy of an audiophile-grade, super-conductive copper cable wrapped in transparent elastomer insulation to minimize touch noise. Detachable gold-plated MMCX connectors allow easy cable replacement in case of accidental damage. Available in a burnished black aluminum finish, these comfortable and stylish IEMs are ready to make your music come alive.
High-Purity Detachable Copper-Core Cable
Your headphone cable is of critical importance to sound quality. Good cable should minimize touch noise and ensure the best possible conductivity. The IE-HF300s come with a detachable 6N oxygen-free copper cable, which delivers almost zero resistance for superior sound. Insulating the core is a tough and flexible elastomer sheath that won’t easily tangle. Unlike other cables, which aren’t designed for pure audio, it’s a one-piece type with no extensions or inline controls to get snagged on clothing or bags.
Note: Some smartphone cases may prevent a proper cable connection.
High-Performance Dynamic Drivers
The IE-HF300s feature a large (14.3 mm [(9/16˝)]) dynamic or moving-coil-type transducer. The design is noted for its durability, accuracy, and ability to reproduce a wide frequency bandwidth, and it’s perfected here in a particularly natural-sounding custom driver. Durable aluminum/ABS resin housing provides exceptional rigidity, reducing unwanted vibration. These drivers are sympathetic to compressed audio formats without sacrificing sensitivity for lossless and high-resolution playback.
Deep, Well-Controlled Bass Performance
Experienced headphone users agree that bass response isn’t a question of quantity, but quality. Drowning in poorly defined bass does no music any favors, whereas well-balanced low frequencies add weight and dynamism to all kinds of music. Onkyo’s engineers spent long hours perfecting the tuning of the IE-HF300s to produce deep, tuneful bass that doesn’t overwhelm the middle frequency band.
Comfort for Long Listening Sessions
The nozzle section on the IE-HF300s is angled to provide optimum comfort and a secure fit. Ergonomic soft-touch earpads provide a firm, comfortable seal against ambient noise, and won’t fatigue during longer sessions. Running for a train or putting your feet up at home, you’ll hardly know you’re wearing them.
Rugged Construction
High portability inevitably means a greater risk of bumps, bangs, and knocks. Onkyo protects your investment with the use of tough, impact-resistant materials. All cable connectors are gold plated to preserve signal integrity and resist the effects of corrosion, extending the life of your headphones.
