Juzear has introduced the hybrid in-ear headphones Juzear Dragonfly 81T with a dynamic 10 mm driver and eight armature emitters. The design of the headphones was inspired by the beauty of dragonflies.
The Juzear Dragonfly 81T headphones are equipped with wooden outer panels made on a CNC machine. The body is made using high-precision DLP 3D printing technology from high-quality polymer material. The headphones provide a comfortable fit suitable for long listening sessions.
The dynamic driver provides deep bass, the mid-frequency range is voiced by four armature emitters, and four more emitters work at the HF. The emitters are coordinated using an electronic crossover and a system of acoustic tubes.
The Juzear Dragonfly 81T in-ear headphones come with a set of different sized Soft Spring silicone ear tips and a connecting cable made of 6N silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) with a replaceable connector, plus 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs. The Juzear Dragonfly 81T is available now for a retail price of $249.99.
