SONOROUS II

Le Café du GeeK Award
2017, France
with sealed headphones.

A BAM (Balancing Air Movement) mechanism developed for balanced armature drivers has been employed with a dynamic driver. With BAM, the idea is to optimize the pressure balance between the front and back of the diaphragm. With SONOROUS II, we’ve applied even more precise tuning based on knowledge obtained through the development of SONOROUS VIII and SONOROUS X.
* What is a BAM mechanism?
At final, we decided to focus on developing technology for the reproduction of bass tones and three-dimensional space with the full-range reproduction of a theoretically unproblematic single driver unit, rather than taking things in a multiway direction. We went back to the beginning and reviewed the performance of the balanced armature driver, focusing our attention on something we had previously overlooked ? airflow inside the housing. We developed BAM (Balancing Air Movement), a mechanism that optimizes airflow inside the housing through the creation of an aperture in the driver unit, which is usually sealed. While achieving bass tones and deep, three-dimensional spatial representation, which proved difficult with single driver full-range reproduction, we achieved a BA type that at the same time made for natural listening the user doesn’t tire of.

Resolution is also good.
Sound seems to have a dry snap to it.
Compared to III, these have a slightly brighter timbre. III are all-rounders; II would appear to suit lighter music (electronic jazz etc.).
Sound depth falls behind that of III, but you can enjoy instrumental sounds more with these.
When it comes to the timbre of a Steinway piano, it can be enjoyed with both III and II – it’s hard to choose between the two.
Compared to III, overall sound is deep; middle and high sounds have reach, but that doesn’t mean that bass tones are lacking. The sound spread was just right and had a good feel to it.
I listened to classical music, rock and anime songs, and there was no bias with how good they sounded (in particular, Hilary Hahn’s violin increased in luster and depth, and I was hooked on it).
There are no strong idiosyncrasies to any of final’s earphones, and I think that their sound creation is popular with everyone.
Fantastic cost performance!
