A new variety of earphones, known as the “neo:n” series, that is specially tuned for anime songs and game sounds has been created.
The “neo:n” series of inner-ear headphones, tuned with the sounds of anime and videogames in mind, will be released by TDK Life on Record on April 13. The suggested retail price is open.
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.
