What is it?

Inspired by Dr. Fang’s groundbreaking work on the Shangri-La systems this
elegant system brings Electrostatic performance to unheard of value price. The
Jade II Headphone is based on the Shangri-La Jr and has amazing transparency
and detail. The Jade II Amplifier was custom designed from the ground up to
optimally power the Jade. This system will blow your mind!

The Jade II is an open-back electrostatic headphone that looks like an updated
version of the original Jade, but with more refined finishes and a distinctive
iridescent blue-green diaphragm visible behind the headphone’s open-mesh
anodes (or stators). The Jade II’s teardrop-shaped earcups are finished in
satin black, as is its top headband frame. Beneath the frame there is a simple
but effective height-adjustable leather headband strap. The Jade II earpads
feature leather outer coverings, but with comfortable fabric inner surfaces
and touch surfaces capable of wicking away perspiration. Following recent
design trends, the Jade II headphone frame allows its earcup to swivel in the
vertical axis, but not in the horizontal axis. Apparently, the train of
thought is that there is sufficient flex in the frame to accommodate
horizontal positioning adjustments, while the elimination of horizontal pivots
improves that overall strength of the frame.

How does it work?

The Jade II epitomizes electrostatic speed and performance. A low-distortion
nanotech driver measuring less than 0.001mm couples near zero distortion with
lightning-fast response and a nano-particle coated diaphragm that provides an
extreme high-frequency response. Nano particle coated diaphragms provide
extended high-frequency response, revealing every last detail of well-recorded
music.

The combination of lightweight aluminum alloy construction, padded earcups,
and a hybrid headband design ensures a comfortable fit, even for extended
periods of time.

The matching Jade II amplifier boasts analog performance from an all-solid
state design. Sleek and compact, the amplifier is equally at home in a rack,
on a desktop, or nightstand – anywhere listeners prefer to enjoy their
favorite music.
