Celest Yaksha are new in-ear headphones, each of which is equipped with four drivers - two dynamic, one armature and one microplanar. The system is controlled by a four-way crossover.
Drivers with an 8 mm diaphragm are responsible for deep bass, a dynamic head with an LCP diaphragm with a diameter of as much as 10 mm works on mid frequencies, a composite armature driver Knowles RAN-62462 guarantees the reproduction of the upper mid and high frequencies, and a microplanar driver developed by Celest itself works in the high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency range.
The model is available in two colors: red and green, and the ergonomic shape provides a comfortable fit. Included with the Celest Yaksha in-ear headphones is a four-core cable, braided using 6N OCC Litz technology. Each core is made of silver and copper OCC conductors. The cable is equipped with standard two-pin 0.78 mm headphone connectors, as well as interchangeable plugs: an unbalanced 3.5 mm minijack and a balanced Pentaconn 4.4 mm are included.
The Celest Yaksha in-ear hybrid headphones are available for sale at a suggested retail price of $139.

European Audio Team (EAT) has released a new EAT F-Dur turntable, which is in many ways an upgrade of the well-known Forte S model. The new turntable weighs a solid 44 kg and sports aluminum anti-vibration supports with TPE damping.
Moondrop has released the Moondrop Horizon headphones – the new product is equipped (unlike previous planar models) with a dynamic ULT driver with a diameter of 50 mm, an inclined system arrangement and a dual-magnet design.
Moondrop has introduced new isodynamic headphones Moondrop Para 2. The use of a very large isodynamic driver with a diameter of 100 mm with FDT (Full-Drive Technology) and an ultra-thin 1.2 µm membrane etched from pure silver allowed to create a very impressive model.
Music First Audio has introduced the new Music First Audio LP 103 LCR phonostage – a highly flexible model, ideal for working with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges.
For its 30th anniversary, AVID has released a new turntable, the AVID Relveo – the device sports a new conical suspension system for better vibration suppression and a dual-belt drive.
