How. Much. Wireless.
When we think of wireless, we think of…no wires. Not less wires. No wires.
That’s the hope and the dream. True wireless.
There are some incredibly active discussions in the audiophile community with titles such as, “Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?”
If you‘re like me, you’ve been playing a game of wireless chicken, thinking to yourself, “The technology, sound quality, and aesthetic will get better, I should wait!”
You may be waiting…instead of doing what many others seem to do:Waiting for the right pair to come along before you make a move:Move Forward
As a company, we know that wireless is important and a big deal. We needed to get it right. We could have jumped on the true wireless bandwagon early but we waited until the category matured, working with a partner on a wireless platform to help develop the usability and sound that we would want ourselves. NuForce has been a wonderful partner on three projects, the Move is our fourth collaboration.
We collaborated on many aspects of this new wireless model: sound (driver/EQ), connectivity (chipset), microphone (placement), carry case (LEDs), control sounds (new), aesthetic (sleek).
A lot of samples were given back to the factory along the way or this box of prototypes would be even bigger:Sound First
Usually, the sound is the thing that keeps us up at night. Does it meet the sound target? Does a mix of the community’s best ears approve the sound?
We actually locked the sound down pretty early with this project. The electronics, battery, antennae, charging contacts, microphone, weight/balance, and space were all parameters that led to a single driver design. You’re going to move in noisy environments, so clarity along with a balanced sound signature is important. Move uses Knowles full-range balanced armature drivers to achieve that sound. (An additional benefit of balanced armatures is a longer battery runtime compared to dynamic drivers.)
Balanced Armature Driver Technology:
Tip For True Wireless
Many wireless IEMs include very small, tiny ear tips. Use real-sized eartips.
Bigger eartips = a better seal.
Better seal = better bass, more secure fit, & less intrusive noise.
Associated Issue: IEM charging cases may have small cavities and only fit tiny tips.
With the Move: Only full-sized ear tips are included. And they fit in the charging case.
Carry Case
The number of LEDs lit on the front of the case = the number of IEM charges available.
To see how many charges you have, simply open the lid and the lights will tell you:
