AFUL Performer 8: Hybrid headphones with 8 drivers

The AFUL brand has announced the release of the new Performer 8 in-ear headphones , built on dynamic and reinforcing radiators.

Each earpiece has one dynamic driver and seven armature drivers arranged in a four-way configuration. The coordinated operation of all drivers is ensured by the use of four separate acoustic channels and a passive crossover filter on resistors. The headphone shells are 3D printed from synthetic resin and have a special solution to relieve excess pressure inside the ear canal.

The sensitivity of the model is 110 dB , the nominal impedance is 35 ohms. The declared frequency range of the headphones is from 5 to 35,000 Hz . The package includes a detachable cable with a 3.5 mm mini-jack and 0.78 mm connectors , a box for carrying and storage, and a set of ear pads of different sizes.

The AFUL Performer 8 hybrid in-ear headphones will go on sale in June 2023 with an expected retail price of around $1,000 .
