Desciption

New Design

• The position of the BA driver has been moved towards the inside of the ear to better deliver the finer audio details more directly, and the acoustic chamber structure and mesh size have been redesigned multiple times in accordance with the new BA driver position to deliver the optimal sound output. The new design took numerous attempts to minimize sound diffusion to provide a more delicate and dynamic performance and a richer high-frequency expression.
• AK UW100MKII are a completely wireless earphones with unrivaled 32-bit DAC technology, and the AMP and circuit technology of Astell & Kern enables separation of the digital parts and analog circuits of the wireless earphone. This new design allows for further reduced noise than the previous model, offering clearer sounds with higher separation levels.

Enhanced Musical Immersion

• Equipped with highest-level PNI (Passive Noise Isolation) and the MK! version has been recognized as a true hi-fi TWS that fundamentally eliminates noise that may be caused by ANC and sound distortions, together with its outstanding noise-canceling performance.
• ANC is not essential to achieve both reduced ambient noise and increased musical focus. When combined with the thoroughly tried-and-tested ergonomic design of the AK UW100MKII, PNI is sufficient to reduce noise physically.
• Unlike generic ANC, which concentrates on cancelling low-frequency noise, PNI can efficiently cancel unwanted ambient noise in the mid and high ranges, as well as higher-pitched sounds.
• Notably, AK UW100MKII’s noise cancelling capability is comparable to that of ANC, even for low frequencies. Another significant feature is that sound quality is retained, since noise is attenuated by the structure of the earbuds rather than by software.
• If you wish to hear ambient sounds, just tap the left earbud once to activate ambient mode. You can switch between the four ambient modes by tapping or using the app.
