The MU By Chan (previously E-MU) Purpleheart features handcrafted solid wood enclosures and biocellulose drivers, like its full-size relative, with a more understated aesthetic and a warm, appealing, non-fatiguing sound. Easy to drive from your phone (no amplifier or adapter required), these make an excellent entry point to the world of wood headphones.
These closed-back headphones feature matte satin, with no external printing to distract from the beauty of the unstained wood. Named for its deep eggplant color, purpleheart is one of the densest woods in the world, which makes it especially good at reducing acoustic resonance. Combined with the 40-millimeter biocellulose drivers, this results in detailed, balanced highs and deep, warm bass. The soft protein leather ear pads ensure hours of listening comfort. Finally, because these cans weigh less than half a pound, you might forget you’re wearing them at all.
EMU Systems is introducing MU By Chan, a brand inspired by Chinese phonetic symbol for wood, MU (木), and an acknowledgment of his past efforts at E-MU Systems. All headphones from subsequent new builds will be branded under MU By Chan.
