In each generation of Acoustune earphones, we can see the never-ending pursuit of product quality by Japanese craftsmen, insisting on their own characteristics in basic design, and then changing and improving in subtle places. Following last year’s limited production of HS1695TI, Acoustune introduced the highest-end HS1697TI in the series. The shell changed from the eye-catching gold of the previous work to the low-key two Tone Gunmetal color, and the internal design of the titanium cabinet was re-adjusted to show the tone. It is completely different from the previous generation.
Re-carved inside and outside the box
HS1697TI is an updated version of HS1695TI. The main design is roughly the same. It continues the classic double-layer metal chassis design. The unit and the plug socket are installed in two independent boxes to reduce the impact of resonance. HS1697TI is made of pure aluminum. The entire box and pipes of the installation unit are made of titanium. The interior has been redesigned to use the newly developed 10mm Myrinx Composite moving coil unit. Metal components are added to improve the hardness of the diaphragm and exert higher analytical power .
Know the taste of titanium again
The new machine's mastery of the intermediate frequency is absolutely perfect. The vocal expression is faithful, silky, and very detailed, while completely retaining the emotions. The performance of male and female voices are superb. In addition, the piano is crystal clear and guitar plucks. The dynamics of the sound are all exciting. Although the low frequency is gentle, but there is sufficient output, who said that the titanium metal box earphone can only dominate the high frequency?
The new wire focuses on balance
HS1697TI still uses Pentaconn Ear plugs. This plug for high-end in-ear headphones is more stable and durable than MMCX. The plug and socket are in closer contact with each other, and the conduction performance is better. It is also better than MMCX during installation and removal. Simple and convenient, can reduce the chance of accidental damage to the plug.
The cable with the camera is the latest ARC51 headphone cable produced by Acoustune. This 8-core cable made of silver-plated OFC copper and OFC copper has a good balance between sound quality and portability. The design of the black cable body is like It is tailor-made for the new Two Tone Gunmetal shell of this generation.
