The word “neo:n” combines “neo”, meaning “new”, with “on”, the reading of the Japanese character for “sound”. The earphones feature the unique “neo:n tuning”, and are optimized for the sounds of anime and videogames.
Three series are in development, differing in price range, design and specifications. The lineup includes the cute “neo:n01” (six colors), the stylish “neo:n02” (six colors), and the mechanical “neo:n03” (three colors).
Furthermore, neo:n02 and neo:n03 employ newly developed drivers that utilize the TDK NEOREC high-powered magnet series. In addition, a silver alloy cable that realizes balanced high-level playback is supplied with neo:n03, and a special L-shaped plug that minimizes disconnections comes as standard on all models.
