if not for the name of its developer.\u00a0VZR was co-founded and the main creator of Model One was former Apple lead acoustics engineer Vic Tiscareno.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vzraudio.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">The VZR Model One\u00a0is<\/a>\u00a0an open on-ear headphone with round cups.\u00a0The main thing is inside.\u00a0Specially designed 40mm drivers are complemented by acoustic lenses using CrossWave technology.\u00a0According to Tiscareno, he created this structure for several years.\u00a0CrossWave is said to allow the headphones to deliver sound from stationary speakers without the need for complex digital signal processing that kills the soul of sound.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"big\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"big\"

professional users.\u00a0The novelty has received a comfortable headband and ear cushions filled with memory foam.\u00a0The flexible boom with the expansion microphone can be undocked &#8211; then the cable microphone comes into play.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"big\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"big\"

an adapter from a single-jack to a two-jack &#8220;connection option, as well as an adapter for a 6.35 mm jack.\u00a0Everything fits together in a comfortable hard case.\u00a0It turns out to be quite flat, since the ear cups are rotated 90 \u00b0.\u00a0The kit can be purchased by pre-order on the VZR website.\u00a0For now, you can register there in order to subsequently receive a notification of the start of sales by e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>The price of the VZR Model One in the US is\u00a0 $ 350.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin
